The best restaurants

15/05/2026: Pleasantly surprised. Didn’t get to try enough options but few tapas plates we had were very tasty. Only 2 points - the salad leaves with the beetroot dish were a bit too greasy and the duck in tacos a bit dry. Will be back though to try some more dishes.

09/05/2026: Great restaurant. Not a classic tapas bar, more of an Irish twist on it.enjoyable

28/05/2026: Stumbled across this place and it was one of the best lunches we've had in a long time, highly recommend!

13/05/2026: Amazing place! Food was delicious.

13/05/2026: We enjoyed an exceptional stay at the Castle Hotel. In addition to being an impressive building with attractive and comfortable sitting areas, the staff were absolutely wonderful. We loved the location and walked everywhere. We loved our quiet room and the amazing breakfast, which included fantastic coffee. Thank you to everyone at Castle Hotel!

13/05/2026: We booked two single beds and received a super cozy room with a queen-size bed and a single bed; we slept like royalty. We especially appreciated the additional reading lamps above the bed, which is a rare find. The bathroom was large, modern, and had built-in shelving, so there was plenty of storage space and no need to search for where to put everything. We were able to get a hairdryer immediately when we needed one. Breakfast offered everything you could want, and the Irish tea was particularly delicious. The breakfast rooms, with their several partitioned alcoves, have a charming atmosphere, as do the lounges with their English/Irish furniture. All the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. There's a large luggage storage room where we could leave our bags upon arrival, as check-in isn't until 3 pm. The same applies on the day of departure – check-out is at noon, and the luggage can remain there all day if, like us, you're flying back in the evening. ... The hotel's location is excellent; it's about a 20-minute walk straight ahead across one of the many bridges over the River Liffey, then turn right to reach the Temple Bar district. Everything was perfect, nothing but praise.

10/05/2026: Food is decent, a bit pricey for what it is. Staff are always really lovely, cash only though. Very tight in there too

09/05/2026: We recently visited this place and had a fantastic experience. The tomato soup was absolutely incredible — honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. The flavor was perfectly balanced and truly 10/10. I ordered the chicken and mushroom pasta with pesto sauce, and it was amazing. It was so delicious, and the portion was huge. I couldn’t finish it, so I happily took the rest home. My husband had the pasta with meatballs, and he said it was excellent as well. A special mention to our waitress, a lovely girl with dark hair. Unfortunately, I don’t know her name, but she was absolutely wonderful — so friendly, smiling, and attentive throughout our visit. Her service made our experience even better. Overall, everything was perfect: delicious food, generous portions, and outstanding service. We will definitely be back!

18/05/2026: A jewel in Moyvalley on the old main Dublin Road always super food and super friendly staff👍👍

03/06/2026: Totally underwhelmed and disappointed by the quality of the food presented and the decor in this restaurant. My friend and I shared the nachos which were passable but the fajitas were presented on a non sizzling dish made up of mostly onions, a few scatterings of peppers and straggly pieces of chicken. The small dishes of salsa were definitely not fresh, the grated cheese had a powdered coating on it and the sour cream tasted more like a whipped sweet cream. On paying the bill for such an awful meal we weren’t asked if we had enjoyed our meal or anything before we left. This in my opinion is a restaurant I certainly won’t be visiting again.

28/05/2026: Super friendly and helpful staff. Food was delicious. Will absolutely be visiting again

12/05/2026: emailed them first but no reply Hi Eamon, I didn't want to post a review without giving you the right of reply but I am afraid I must bring this to your attention. I would be a regular enough customer, certainly once a month for drinks and food and usually more. Anyway, I arrived in yesterday around 16:45 and ordered a pint of Rockshore lager (see attached picture of it) and the mushroom soup and special. 1. The soup was cold 2. The special (chicken sizzler) was nice but the girl forgot to tell me the iron plate was scalding and I burnt 2 of my fingers badly in a vain attempt to lift it and scoop onto the plate with the rice 3. My sorry pint you can judge for yourself. Paid my bill (was $32, gave 40 and said keep the change, the girl looked at me as if I had robbed her purse. There was a family with 3 young kids in the area behind me. The 3 kids roared and screamed for the 50 minutes I was in there. And I mean roared the house down. No one said a word. I ended up leaving. Anyway that's my tale of woe. You guys are better than that. I know it because i have always loved going in there

23/04/2026: Only a 14min walk from Killiney Dart station. Great Guinness and service, very clean boozer.

24/05/2026: Absolutely delicious food! Fast and friendly service. Good place for company lunch gathering ! highly recommend!

20/05/2026: Genuinely the most disgusting fried tofu I have ever had. I got the tofu katsu curry, and not only was the outside mushy because they poured the (very bland) katsu all over the top of it, the batter was undercooked to the point of it being a dark stretchy goop like the inside of those old alien toy pods, and worst of all it wasn't even battered correctly because the inside was literal slime. It was so full of oil that the tofu fell apart in wet, slimy little chunks. It was genuinely inedible and made me feel sick. I have NEVER had tofu that bad before, and I have never sent food back and asked for a refund before this. I know it must be an issue with the chef, because I've had the exact same dish at Musashi in Swords and enjoyed it! That's why I thought to order it again here. The chef also argued with the poor server who brought the food back and told her to come back out and tell us that he hadn't cooked it wrong because "the oil was the right temperature", as if that's the only thing that could have possibly dictated the quality of the food. My partner ordered the vegan ramen, which she has also had before in Swords and enjoyed, and it was so totally bland that she couldn't keep eating it. She also sent her food back. I had heard from someone else that they hated the Musashi tofu and refused to eat it because it was so slimy, and I couldn't understand why they'd think that until I had this experience and realised it must have been this restaurant that they had been to. Do not come here for vegetarian food.

16/05/2026: Absolute gem of a place in every way. Dont ever change

04/05/2026: The soup was lovely, so was the fish and chips. Glad we found this spot!
