€10 lunch in Salamanca, Dublin 2

salamanca-steakThe Spanish restaurant Salamanca has been on Andrew St in Dublin 2 for a number of years, but I never got around to trying it until a couple of weeks ago.  My lovely friend Catherine and I went to try out their lunch special. You can have a main and a tea/coffee for €10, or add a dessert for another €3. The choices include plaice and chips, steak and potatoes, salmon, tuna salad or a chicken enchilada.

We both went for the steak and potatoes, and it was really good: tasty steak, cooked properly with very good crispy roast potatoes.  The pepper sauce didn’t have enough pepper in it, but otherwise it was a really excellent main for such a low price.  The follow-up coffee was very good quality as well.

Salamanca also have a few special offers on tapas at the moment: €10 for two tapas dishes with a glass of wine, €10 for three tapas, and €18 for six tapas.  Can any of you recommend the evening meals or tapas in Salamanca?
