I've eaten there quite a bit over the last couple of months and have never been disappointed. We had a family dinner for 6 adults and my 6 year old grand daughter a couple of weeks ago and everyone was very happy with the service and their choices of food. If your hesitant to bring children don't be, the staff are very good and attentive were children are concerned .
I would definitely recommend Roly's Bistro for all occasions and especially their stakes.

Roly’s Bistro, Dublin — Exceptional Irish Dining in Ballsbridge
If you're searching for top-rated restaurants in Dublin, Roly’s Bistro in Ballsbridge should be at the top of your list. This long-standing favorite offers a perfect blend of Irish hospitality, fine dining, and locally sourced ingredients; all in a warm, welcoming setting.
Despite arriving near closing time (without a reservation), our party of three was graciously welcomed. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us with absolute professionalism and kindness, turning what could’ve been a rushed experience into one of the most memorable meals of our trip.
We enjoyed:
- Wild Mushroom Soup with Truffle Cream — rich, earthy, and beautifully balanced
- Roast Vegetable & Cherry Vine Tomato Salad — fresh and vibrant with parmesan and basil lime dressing
- Ricotta & Spinach Tortellini — comforting pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and basil cream
- Grilled 8oz Fillet of Irish Hereford Beef — perfectly cooked, served with fondant potato and a peppercorn brandy cream sauce
- Irish Berry Meringue Roulade with Lemon Curd — light, tangy, and refreshing
- Sticky Toffee Pudding with Rum & Raisin Ice Cream — indulgent and unforgettable
Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. Whether you're craving the best steak in Dublin, vegetarian-friendly options, or traditional Irish desserts, Roly’s has it all.
Highly recommend for romantic dinners, business lunches, special occasions, or just an unforgettable dining experience.
Book ahead... though clearly, even at the eleventh hour, they know how to treat their guests right.

The wait staff were very nice and attentive and gave us a lovely little takeaway picture with the menu as we were a big group for a work event. Thank you!

Fantastic experience - we booked a family for a christening 20 people and Khan looked after us, we needed for nothing and the food was superb. 10/10

Love this cafe and restaurant, come here for breakfast whenever I’m in the south side. Beautiful rolls and pastry’s go down a treat. Breakfast is amazing from here, and always grab a premade dinner for that night, brilliant spot

Sólo una noche preciosa aquí el sábado con la familia. La comida era de primera clase y el personal era fabuloso. Gritar a Kahn el gerente que fue tan amable con mi hija que la presentó al jefe, le permitió elegir un regalo de la panadería cuando se fue a casa y nos dio un fabuloso libro de cocina que vamos a defo probar en casa. Mi hija fue tan feliz dejándolo esa noche. Kahn usted es el mejor ejemplo de cómo tratar a sus clientes y sin duda volveremos. Muchas gracias Rolys por una súper noche 😊.
