Elephant & Castle Restaurant

The New York Elephant & Castle opened in 1973 with a menu whose dishes soon appeared throughout lower Manhattan restaurants. It led the restaurant to adopt as motto at the time "Copied by many, Excelled by none."

The Dublin Elephant & Castle was opened in 1989 when one of the restaurant's Irish chefs was denied entry into the U.S.A., so they decided to open a restaurant in Dublin instead. If Mohammed cannot come to the mountain, the mountain will come to Mohammed.


Situated not far from the Embankment of the Thames, Elephant and Castle can easily be reached by Underground via the Bakerloo Line, to whose last stop it lends its name.
