Dublin has five Spanish restaurants in our directory, four of them in the Dublin 2 area of the city centre and one in Dundrum to the south. This plan fits them into a Friday-to-Sunday weekend using the opening hours each listing has on file. Hours change, so check before you set out.
The places
- The Port House Pintxo, 12 Eustace Street, Temple Bar. Open daily 12:00 to 23:30.
- The Port House, 64 South William Street. No hours on file.
- The Port House Ibéricos, Pembroke Cottages, Ballinteer Road, Dundrum. Open 12:00 to 22:00 Monday to Wednesday and 12:00 to 23:00 Thursday to Sunday.
- Las Tapas de Lola, 12 Wexford Street, Dublin 2. Wednesday and Thursday 17:00 to 22:30, Friday 17:00 to 23:00, Saturday 13:00 to 23:00, Sunday 13:00 to 22:30.
- La Gordita, 6 Montague Street, Dublin 2. Tuesday to Thursday 12:30 to 22:00, Friday 12:30 to 22:30, Saturday 13:00 to 22:30.
The three Port House venues share one record, which describes a group with four locations in Dublin and one in London, serving Basque pintxos and tapas with a wide list of wines, ports and sherries. Our directory lists three of the Dublin ones.
Friday: pintxos in Temple Bar
Start at the Port House Pintxo on Eustace Street, which is open until 23:30. Pintxos are small bites, often on bread, and a few of them make a light dinner. If you are unsure what to pick, our guide to pintxos and tapas explains the difference.
If you would rather sit down for a longer meal, Las Tapas de Lola on Wexford Street is open until 23:00 on Fridays. Its record mentions patatas bravas, chorizo, Spanish wines and sangria.
Saturday: lunch, then South William Street
La Gordita on Montague Street opens at 13:00 on Saturday. Its record describes a cosy restaurant serving traditional tapas, including fresh seafood and meat dishes.
In the evening, head to the Port House on South William Street. We have no hours on file for this one, so check before going. With ports and sherries on the group's list, it is a good place to try a glass of sherry with your tapas; our sherry guide covers the styles.
Sunday: Dundrum or Wexford Street
La Gordita has no Sunday hours on file, so plan around the other two. Port House Ibéricos in Dundrum is open from 12:00 to 23:00 on Sundays, which makes it an easy lunch if you are already south of the centre. Back in town, Las Tapas de Lola opens at 13:00 on Sunday and stays open until 22:30.
