Elephant & Castle Prince Street opened in Lower Manhattan in ’73 across from St Vincent’s Hospital where George had worked as an oncologist since the 1950’s. After two decades of short lunch breaks where he could never get anything he wanted to eat, finally he retired to a life of eating everything he wanted to eat, in his own restaurant with a special name. His passion and obsession for quality was infectious and E&C became a New York classic within a few years. Doors opened in a very different and quiet Temple Bar in January 1989 and by Summer of that year the queues had already started for our fantastic food and spectacular atmosphere! Outside the world has greatly changed, but inside our swinging doors we try to keep things just the way they were.

We went for lunch and the service was perfect! The staff was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. I especially loved the pork belly, it was cooked to perfection with a crispy skin and tender meat. The food was lovely overall, and it made for a fantastic dining experience!!

This was our first restaurant on our trip to Dublin and we absolutely loved it! We were able to get one of the last reservations available for the next 2 weeks and had dinner at 9pm. We were greeted and sat immediately and service was wonderful. My partner and I both ordered an espresso martini and it was delicious. We then split the fish and chips for our main entree and it was incredible! For a side, we ordered the Brussel sprouts and roasted carrots and those were both phenomenal. 10/10 highly recommend!
