Roly's Bistro in Dublin

Been to Rolys twice this week. It's always excellent. The early bird menu in the terrace area is really good value because the food is top quality. One of the best restaurants in Dublin in my opinion.

The vegetarian options were very limited.

We ate the best (Irish) salmon, to die for. Huge wine selection. Cozy. Not touristy! Prices are okay. Wine is relatively expensive.

Efficient and courteous service. Dines in the conservatory which was very nice and bright. Food was tasty but very small portions.

Excellent food, lovely stuff and the atmosphere was cosy and welcoming, thoroughly enjoyed myself. Nice to be able to pop over to the bridge for a pint after!

Small cafe, Very good Thai food; my only request is that the chef is safe to make the Pad Kha Prow Moo pid mak. Very fast service.

Seriously, if you haven’t been to Roly’s you are missing out. It’s TOP drawer. The most amazing meal I had in 2025!! The special was off the charts! This is a must-visit…Paul and team are amazing. Wine, starter, main, desert…Best meal 2025….John & Rachel

Excellent food and wine with impeccable service.

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

I took my father here this evening - to the Terrace - and had a great time. We had tried to book a window seat, but upon arrival there were none available. The wonderful front of house said he would do everything to help us. I had told him it was an early father's day dinner for my dad. We were seated in a non window seat initially, but within 15 minutes, due to a no show, he moved us to a 4-top, but made it for just the two of us. My dad had the Dublin Bay Prawn Scampi, and loved every second of it (his appetite can be off, so it was brilliant to see!). I ordered the burger (without pickles), but it arrived with pickles which put me off a little. I removed them from the plate and one of the hostesses asked if everything was OK (truly I didn't really enjoy the burger..too much sauce and the pickle residue was still lingering on the burger) and I just told her it's lovely but I asked for no pickles (I didn't want to ask for a fresh order bc it seemed ridiculous!). She came back later in the meal to say the desserts were going to be on the house - I tried to protest and say it's not a problem, but when the bill came, they weren't there. As a result I left a very generous tip for the servers. The desserts were delicious. Dad had the sticky toffee pudding and I had the meringue roulade (very sweet, but I had room after not finishing my burger). All in all the service was hit and miss (we were neglected a bit at the beginning in favour of the bigger, more demanding tables, and I had asked for a sauce top up which came after we had finished - but I understand they were under pressure), but the managers really stepped up and made it a special night. My dad, most importantly, has been waxing lyrical about it since. They also had a good selection of non-alcoholic wines for him, which was really refreshing. I would definitely go back again - and order the scampi!! Top top marks to the fronts of house...you made it a lovely evening.
