The food was amazing, and they have an excellent gluten free selection with a Celiac specific menu. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodated our group of 12 with no issue. My wife celebrated her 45th birthday and they gave her a free dessert. No notes
So glad we dined here while staying in the Temple Bar section of Dublin! Server was very knowledgeable about gluten free items and helped me with the menu, I had the fish and chips and my friend had the Shepards pie! Both were amazing! I had a local gf beer and drinks were delicious! Highly recommend, and I will definitely return!
Perfect place for lunch/dinner. The staff is very friendly and willing to answer any questions. They adapt all their dishes to people with celiac disease and intolerances. The food is spectacular. 10/10

Delicious gluten free crepes and gelato. They also give a 10% school student discount. Great value compared to other gelato places in the area. Highly recommended.

Have been here on two separate occasions, both with a party of two. We did not book ahead, if you have a bigger party would recommend reserving a table in advance as this spot is popular! The tacos here are a great size for light bites on a summer evening! Slim gluten free options, but perfect for a snack and a catch up with a friend! Also cannot recommend the Mexican pornstar enough, that drink is dangerously delicious.
Great cafe! My husband had delicious French toast and I had Irish beef burger with Gluten Free bread and fries. Good GF options and they were very accommodating!
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.

Forget Temple Bar, this is the spot to go to while in Dublin. We came here our very first night in Ireland just for pints and then brought it full circle coming again our last night, but this time ate dinner as well. It's a smaller food menu for a pub which we actually prefer, and it was a pleasant surprise that the food was great. Half of the menu is Gluten Free and then they offer a Vegetable Stew that can be modified to be Vegan. Everything about this place is 10/10, definitely a must visit.

Unfortunately, a disappointing experience.
The initial welcome was friendly, but there was zero flexibility when it came to ordering. I asked for an Irish Breakfast with gluten-free bread and to substitute the two puddings (which I can’t eat), but was told I could only remove them — no substitutions allowed, and I would still have to pay for the full dish. When I asked why, the only explanation was “the chef doesn’t want to,” which felt more like a whim than a serious policy. I decided to leave, as I believe this kind of attitude is unfair — especially in a time when food allergies and intolerances should be taken seriously.

My review is only for the beers as we didn't eat. Being celiac, I had marked all the pubs where I could eat and/or drink gluten-free based on other people's reviews. For beers: I can confirm that they have gluten-free beers. The menu only says gluten-free bottled Peroni but, upon asking the waiter, I was offered a gluten-free draft IPA and 2 others (IPA and Weiss) in cans.

Haven't been here in years. Due to visiting my mother in the mater hospital, I ended up having a meal here. I couldn't have been looked after any better and though there was a glitch re the phone payment the patience afforded me and my companion meant all was eventually sorted without the need to do the washing up 🙈 I had the gluten free fish and chips and beshoffs watch out they were excellent. My friend had the pulled pork burger type meal and said it was sooo tasty.
I highly recommend the place and hats off the the staff especially the man who looked after us.
Definitely be going again next time though hope it will be for better reasons.
Thank you all at Madigans you mades us feel welcome and we left happy

My first time in an Indian restaurant, we went in 3 couples, I am vegetarian, one girl e celiac and the other has allergy to a protein on cow stuff so dairy free and another thing (I don't understand much) so we are an odd table at any restaurant. But they have great options, staff is patient and welcoming, everyone enjoy their order apart from me unfortunately, but not for a chefs fault at all, just my taste as I am pregnant I am being a bit odd with food. Even though I wasn't expecting or asked for it they didn't charge me for my meal and I ordered the starter again that was massive ( spinach with some mango stuff I'll post the picture).
The best mocktail I ever tasted not a joke! ( I got inocent mojito)
Anyway, the place looks lovely and neat, the staff is great and we were well accommodated

Our waitress Kacey was really nice! I'm coeliac and she was amazing and made sure I knew exactly what I could have. She was also really nice to my little sister and very understanding of my gran.
I brought my family to this restaurant as I go there a few times a year because two of us are celiac and it isn’t safe in most places to eat out. I usually eat here because of my celiac disease as I was confidant that it was celiac friendly and didn’t have to worry about cross contamination and they cater for celiacs but the last time I was there I was told that the chips , wings and chicken was not gluten free because they were cooked in the same oil and fryer as the rest of the gluten food. I found this very disappointing and can’t understand why this has changed. I will not be returning as it is unsafe as a celiac to eat here. Very disappointed

The menu consists of 2 types of burgers, cheeseburger and hamburger. This makes choosing a lot easier for people with choice stress. They also have gluten-free burgers and they tasted very delicious (see photo), including gluten-free fries. Inside it is not very pleasant to dine for a long time (kind of like a more luxurious McDonald's, really aimed at eating quickly and leaving again), but if you want to quickly settle down, this is a perfect stop.

Set menu was delicious and the cocktails were really good. They did a good selection of gluten free replacements for my coeliac colleague too. So we were delighted
