101 Talbot is a Dublin institution. I don't recall exactly what year . I first visited , but it must be over 20 years ago. The food is always good, and sometimes very good. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Also , there is nothing anodyne about them, you can see their individuality , they are not cookie-cutter servers,... More

My husband and I stumbled across 101 Talbot on a weekend trip to Dublin. We were just out strolling looking for somewhere to eat and decided to try it. We could not fault it, food was delicious, nice wine, friendly helpful staff and a lovely table in the window. the atmosphere in there was fab, décor was lovely but blink... More

I'm not sure why but I've got a certain amount of affection for Talbot 101. I think it's something to do with it's steadfast refusal to bow to the current trend in Dublin, at this point in the market at least, for hipster orientated eateries. It could also be that it's situated in the distinctly grungy area of Talbot Street... More

We were a group of ten for pre-theatre dinner and we arrived late for our booking. Nevertheless the excellent staff were able to serve us a delicious three-course dinner before we had to leave for the show. I don't think I've ever seen such expert, flawless service! And the food was fantastic--inventive, flavorful, and really satisfying, from starters to the... More

Have been going to the 101 for years. Never disappoints. Great menu, which caters for everyone including vegetarians. Informal, relaxed atmosphere. Great place to celebrate birthdays, meet friends, pre-theatre etc.

Having had four visits to the 101 I will be looking forward to my next visit. The food is always good, the service is friendly. The surroundings are very comfortable and nice without being formal or stuffy. On a busy night there is a great buzz that would remind you of a buzzing night in warmer climes! I have been... More

Visited recently with my mother and Grandmother due to its convenience to an appointment we had city centre. It was only about 12 so we were very early but we were warmly welcomed. Lunch menu was lovely and good value although I would say the chowder could have been more fishy!! Trout was beautiful and desserts were tasty. I would... More

This was my fourth visit to 101 Talbot, and once again, the food was delicious and the service excellent. I had a succulent pork cultlet, with delicious accompaniments of roast apple, celeriac mash, cabbage and crispy bacon pieces. Each element was utterly scrumptious, including the gravy, and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. My other half was very happy with his... More

Arrived at restaurant windswept from atrocious weather outside to a warm welcome, we chose the 3 courses for 30 Euros. The food was excellent quality I had creamy fish chowder, crispy skinned trout on Irish mash with a buttery chive sauce, then a hot apple strudel with toffee ice-cream, all delicious washed down with a French Chardonnay. Staff were all... More
