The Ivy Dublin

The food was fine but the service was terribly disappointing. Waitress just walked up and asked, “ready to order?” without a welcome, introduction, explanation of the multiple menus, or anything. I said I might need help for a dairy allergy, she said to “order the shepherd’s pie” (which I thankfully knew would put me in the hospital) and then said “or download the allergy info” and then just left. After later taking our order, she said, “and gluten allergy” before again walking off. I had to call her back to correct her which made me terribly nervous since I have quite a severe dairy allergy; it’s not just a preference or even an intolerance. I felt unwelcome and burdensome. We ordered very little since we felt so hurried and unhappy, despite originally hoping to make a fun night of it (and spend all our remaining euros) on our last day in Dublin.

Gorgeous restaurant in the heart of Dublin city. They serve fluffy pancakes for brunch -all gluten free 👍🏼 you could even say that the Ivy is to Dublin what Café Reichard is to Cologne.
