“Great scampi and calamari”
Review of Beshoff Bros

Love popping in here to get some scampi and calamari to share while walking the Clontarf prom on a sunny day!
Also good for fish and chips! The batter is light and cooked perfectly - not doughy at all!

It is a really really great take away! Not as cheap as others around but it is high quality.
Queue can get quite long sometimes too

Will go back again and again

We didn't realize on our first night in Dublin how hard it can be to find a place still serving dinner after 9. We were lucky enough to find this restaurant with in walking distance of Clontarf Castle were we stayed still serving. It was some of the best fish and chips I have ever had! Price was right too! It is more of a carryout place so there was limited bar-like seating. It may have been because we had come later but it took a while for a food to finally come out. Would suggest for carryout but don't expect a nice sit down meal here.

Went for the standard fish and chips, but got a lot more than expected. These fish and chips were of a very high quality and very enjoyable, at a very respectable price. They also cater for for gluten free diets, so we were impressed.

After a fabulous couple of days in Dublin celebrating my mum's 71st Birthday, we decided to pop in to Beshoff Bros. for some fish and chips at Dame Street. My mum sat on the table while I queued up to order. Less than five minutes passed when the manager shouted at my mum to leave the restaurant and to give the table to other customers. My mum did not know what was happening and was asked to leave the restaurant!!! Totally shocked we did not understand this behaviour...I returned to ask for the managers name. He proceeded to take my bag and throw it out of the restaurant. As a family of mother, daughter and granddaughter we are totally shocked by this behaviour and can say "Thank goodness that we were not treated like this anywhere else in Dublin"

Is this normal procedure in Breshoff Bros. in Dublin?

This is the only negative review I have posted on Trip Advisor.

I am a regular costumer in this place. As a coeliac, I know what time they stop doing gluten free meals (23:00h).
Last night (5/5/2015) at 22:40 i popped in with a friend to get some food, I asked for my GF meal and the tender told me that she couldn't serve me gf cod goujons because where all solt out... I said fine can I get scampi instead please? Then she said that I could only get food with gluten at that time ( i got a bit upset because I knew that they stop serving gf at 23 and there is no point to stop serving it at 22 because that is dinner time). I asked the cook and he said the same as her.
I asked him when did they change the time of stop serving Gf and he laugh abd said that has been always like that! Excuse me...? Im going to that place since they oppened ( I felt treatted as a stuppid).
Such a dissapointing expierence...

Dear Paula

Thank you very much for your review on our Dame Street restaurant. I am sorry to learn that when visiting our restaurant that we did not meet your expectations. The companies policy is for the Gluten Free menu to be available till closing time in all of our restaurants. This includes Clontarf that now will be serving a Gluten Free menu every day from open till closing time.
I would like to assure you that I have spoken to the relevant staff that was on duty on the day of your visit regarding the incident.

Again I would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. Would you please be able to email our office at info@beshoffbros.com for us to log your concern internally.
