Best Spanish Restaurants in Kilmainham

Food was delicious but it was the amazing, friendly service that impressed me the most.

Our part of 4 had a great time at Exchequer last night. There was a great buzz in the restaurant, which was full, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. A decent wine list with very good wine by the glass options, and overall, it was good value for money. The food was generally very tasty, with decent portions, and we shared 8 dishes plus a dessert each amongst 4 people. The only mediocre dish was the Potatas Bravas, which I felt was unimaginative and rather bland. It's my first visit, but I'd definitely go back again

Everything was great except the portion size. I’m not a big eater & usually find that starter, main course & desert are just too much so usually 2 courses is enough. Ordered the lamb. It was described as coming with creamed potatoes and vegetables. Whilst it was presented well and tasted lovely, it was way too small. It looked like a mini island of food lost in the middle of a dinner plate. Even some additional vegetables to help part fill the plate would have been appreciated. Once it landed it was too late to order any Additional side dishes which would have taken longer to prepare than the few minutes required to eat what was presented. Cost was €24. I followed it with coffee & desert. I went out for dinner but actually had to make a sandwich when I got home. As I say, I’m not a big eater although I’m a regular restaurant goer & I’ve never complained about online before and I’ve never gone home & had to make something to eat after having been out for dinner. I hope this feedback is taken constructively as it is intended.

Lovely venue, food very good, wine a bit limited but what was offered was good. Service very good. Shame this lovely restaurant only had 9 diners on a Friday eve. Not sure how many it can accommodate but certainly around the 60 plus at one sitting. Hence ambience rating- it was basically empty. Felt for the staff who were charming. Perhaps the rugby match had an impact!

I loved the quiet ambiance, it was like a speakeasy. The food was nice and it just felt like an intimate and relaxing evening.
