The best restaurants

27/09/2025: Frankly I don't want to give false information for the sake of reviews. Magans in what I have seen when I pass by it, is well frequented by customers. It is quite popular in the area. The aroma of the food which wafts out is mouth watering. The service also must be good that is the reason why so many people come and eat and take outs. I wish them all the best. Keep it up.

17/09/2025: Awe this is my local chipper and I just love the friendly hello and the banter with staff, the kebab box is a must if you fancy a feed. The gorgeous chicken burgers are just delicious.

31/10/2025: FX Buckley in Monkstown is a gem. The place looks stunning — cosy and warm, like you’re having dinner in a lovely home. The steak was unreal, cooked perfectly and full of flavour. Staff were sound and the whole vibe was just spot on. Can’t wait to go back!

24/10/2025: Really excellent steak, can’t complain other than beef is getting very expensive these days everywhere. However, you won’t get better than this.

06/09/2025: Friendly service and great food. Highly recommended

06/09/2025: The best part of life is pure joy. Not only does the restaurant offer delicious food, but the owner's warm and welcoming hospitality makes you feel right at home, and the wait staff are incredibly attractive. The restaurant is clean and tidy, the food is served quickly, and the prices are reasonable. The owner's cooking is delicious 👍, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal 🥳. A special thank you to the owner for recommending our signature dishes that day, which satisfied the four of us tourists. Highly recommended for the food, service, and ambiance. We even took a photo with the owner that day. If you have the chance to dine here, don't forget to experience her hospitality! ❤️

28/10/2025: Welcoming atmosphere. The service from Bianca and Patrick was excellent. We ordered the beef and Guinness stew accompanied by a Merlot, as recommended, and it was wonderful. The dessert was also very tasty. I recommend it.

26/10/2025: Cannot give Patryck and the team enough stars. From start to finish, Patryck made sure our entire experience was flawless. From the moment we walked in, Patryck anticipated every need and helped us celebrate our recent engagement in a very special way. That mixed with being extremely personable made it the best service we’ve ever had. The food was spectacular and the drinks were perfect. To ensure we weren’t too hungover, Patryck entrusted us with a secret Polish recipe to a hangover cure and tasted phenomenal. Make sure to book a reservation because it does get busy but it is 100% worth it. Thank you for making our night so incredible.

27/10/2025: En route to Dunmore East. Popped into this little gem. The food is absolutely beautiful. Staff very friendly and very professional. There's a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Tried Ferrero roche cheesecake. It was beautiful. The risotto was amazing. Just a great place food amazing.

05/09/2025: We visited in August and had to wait in a long queue, as many people said the food was worth it. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. The food tasted worse than average – more like a cheap jar of pasta sauce from Lidl than anything freshly prepared. To make matters worse, I was served a dirty beer glass and dirty cutlery. Overall, a very unpleasant experience and definitely not worth the wait.

02/11/2025: Typical HRC style, great location. The food was good as always, prices are on par with Irish standards.

01/11/2025: It was very nice! The food was good but could have been fresher. The service was excellent!

02/09/2025: Lovely evening meal Chicken wings starter tasty hot sauce Mains pork and solely delicious Desert baked alaska home made delicious

23/08/2025: The food at the Kingfisher is always incredible! The nicest we've had around Carlingford!

28/10/2025: Simply Amazing! The exact fit for my hunt over a Coffee this good in Cork. 🌟 Gonna make this my regular go-to Coffee place. They're just like they say- "Serious about Coffee". They really are! 💯

13/09/2025: Lovely coffee and nice place to be sitting and enjoying your coffee!

14/09/2025: lovely spot, needs a bit of cosy added, so many options in line of pastries and savoury food

07/09/2025: €8.95 for a coffee and a scone. Way too expensive. Coffee was nice scone was ok. Got a pastiche de nata also for nearly 4 quid... Really poor left it behind. Staff were really nice.

27/10/2025: Got guff here from one of the staff for using my laptop, although I had a couple of coffees and cakes during the week, although their silly laptop rule only stated at the weekend.

25/10/2025: Hi, I'm a long-time regular here and I really appreciate the quality you usually maintain. I wanted to flag something recently: I always order the espresso but lately, the consistency has been off. The last few times, it has tasted distinctly sour and lacking clarity, especially compared to how great it was just a few weeks ago. Since I order the same thing every time, I can really notice the shift. I tried to tell the staff, but got an exact same sour shot again, I didn’t drink it.

05/10/2025: Had a lovely meal on Sunday. Staff are fantastic. Make sure to either book a table or get there before 1pm as it fills very quickly. That's the only quibble I would have.

01/10/2025: Great pub. Many's a pint had there.Never ask the owner for a bag of ice as its very precious to him.

20/10/2025: The food of the ninja is very delicious.

18/10/2025: We are two Korean families living in Germany, and we visited Dublin for our holiday. During our five-day stay, we went to Ninja Sushi Asian Restaurant four times — twice for dine-in and twice for takeout. That probably tells you how much we enjoyed this place! Although it’s a Japanese restaurant, like many others in Europe, it’s run by Chinese staff. Because of that, the ramen has more of a Chinese-style flavor rather than a traditional Japanese one — which was the only minor downside for me. Apart from that, everything else was excellent. The rolls were large, fresh, and delicious. The basic Japanese dishes such as takoyaki and tempura shrimp were of high quality, and the donkatsu rice bowl, yaki udon, and yakisoba were also outstanding. The food was served very quickly, which made the experience even better. The lady owner and the staff were very kind and flexible. Once, due to our family situation, only our children came to pick up the food for takeout, and the owner kindly allowed us to return later to pay — which was incredibly considerate. Overall, both the food and the service were fantastic. We truly enjoyed every visit and would highly recommend this restaurant. If we come back to Dublin again, we will definitely visit here again.
