Set up by chef Pádraic Óg Gallagher, Gallagher’s Boxty House delivers traditional Irish food that teaches the diner more about the origins of traditional boxty, a potato pancake. “The Humble Spud Made Beautiful” is the ethos of this restaurant, which uses natural ingredients from artisan food producers in Ireland. As we took flight, I stared out the window and waved salut to The Emerald Isle.

This time he ordered the Gaelic Boxty, which was a potato pancake topped with steak and musrooms. I particularly enjoyed the corned beef Boxty, which is not currently on the menu. For mains, I always go with something corned beef based at Gallaghers. Because corned beef is not easy to find in Ireland, and Gallaghers always has it on the menu! Yes, surprise, surprise, the corned beef-Irish association is more of an Irish-American thing.

Boxty pancakes are best left overnight in a fridge and reheated in a pan in good butter. Drop a ladle full onto an oiled non-stick pan over medium heat and cook on the first side for 2 minutes (depends on how heavy the batter is and how much you use). Check color (should be a nice golden color) on the bottom.

Yet again there are roasted cherry tomatoes in this dish, as if the chef can’t resist a pull towards Mediterranean cooking. My friend’s chicken and ham boxty is very good, a real plate of comfort eating, the filling smothered in a creamy leek sauce and wrapped in the heavy folds of a potato pancake. I selected two boxty off the menu, a traditional pancake with corned beef and cabbage as well as an indulgent boxty dumpling in a blue cheese and portobello cream. We finished off the meal with a hearty trio of Irish stews served with butter slathered soda bread.
The restaurant was packed, clearly a local favourite and a dream of a spot for those looking to indulge in traditional Irish pub fare.

More reasons to love Dublin…
Ordering the Gaelic Boxty (€22), this main course featured medallions of Irish Fillet Beef within the pancake. The chef delivered on cooking the beef to my liking, medium rare, smothered in creamy mushroom and peppercorn sauce. I must admit that I love that this sauce was a combination of the two classics usually served with steak – easily better than having to choose between the two. The stout had a slight chocolate hint to it, the gold ale was more refreshing with a subtle fruity taste to it, and the red ale had caramel notes that reflect its deep caramel hue. Of the three I would say the Gold Ale is my favourite, which also complimented the boxty fries below.
I get a large bowl of naturally smoked haddock, perched on a good portion of champ with a poached egg on top of it all. The fish is pale and tasty, simmered according to the menu, in milk and onions. The egg gives it a nice homely flavour and the champ is great.

I last ate there about 20 years ago and have happy memories of rib-sticking food. THERE IS A SPEAKER mounted in the doorway of Gallagher’s Boxty House in Dublin’s Temple Bar playing diddly-eye tunes out into the chilly evening air. The restaurant has a green-painted front and red and gold lettering in that hunched Celtic typeface where the letters look like they grew up in a turf smoke-filled cottage. It all combines to render Gallagher’s virtually invisible to the local gaze, a “tourists’ only” place as the Elephant and Castle next door packs them in. Gallagher’s Boxty House offers a large drink list, which is surprisingly devoid of Guinness! We tried a stout on our food tour, and I ordered a cocktail at dinner.
In that very moment I realized how essential restaurants such as Gallaghers Boxty House are. These institutions continue a dying tradition, a lost art, a celebration of peasant food, local flavours and inspire us to keep in touch with the historical dishes that have sustained a nation. Educating locals and visitors one mouth watering bite at a time. After studying the menu a few minutes, I opted for the Boxty Tasting Slate (€12) as my starter, which featured three different type of boxty specialities. The first of these included two slices of toasted Boxty Bread, topped with St. Tola’s Goat Cheese and cherry tomato.

These expertly crafted beers hail from Gallagher’s Boxty House’s own brewery and their kitchens in Tallaght, Dublin, to deliver strong flavours that differentiate from your typical pint. Each of the beers were strong and heady, but also very tasty. The menu at Gallagher’s is on the small side, but as long as you eat potatoes, you should be able to find something. It seemed a bit smaller this time, likely due to Covid.

There were complimentary textures, and the black peppercorns infused in the sauce also gave a good kick of spice, which was quite the contrast with the house salad on the side.
