The best restaurants

13/06/2025: My husband Kevin and I celebrated our wedding reception at Medley, Dublin this May and we truly couldn’t have imagined a better place to host the best day of our lives. As two proud Dubs, we always knew we wanted a city-centre wedding. We chose Smock Alley for our ceremony, and after a short (and very scenic!) 10-minute stroll, with a few stops at some of Dublin’s iconic pubs of course, our guests arrived at Medley for the reception. From our first visit right through to the final dance, the team at Medley, especially our coordinator Chris, went above and beyond. This type-A bride sent hundreds of emails and had a million little questions, and not once did I feel like anything was too much. They made everything feel effortless, personal, and seamless. We were after a vibe that was laid-back but beautiful, and a space where all generations, could feel relaxed and spoiled. Medley delivered all that and more. The food was a standout — not your standard wedding fare, but something genuinely special and delicious. No soup or meat-and-two-veg here (unless you want it, in which case they’d still nail it). We would recommend Medley a thousand times over. Every time we walk through Dublin city centre now, we get to pass by the place where we had one of the happiest days of our lives, and that still gives us a little buzz. I have no doubt we’ll be back again soon as guests, raising a glass to someone else’s big day.

11/05/2025: Attended a wedding there last week. Very exciting day with great atmosphere and great service and very friendly staff. Food was second to none, would highly recommend

10/08/2025: Nice to have a drink with friends

06/08/2025: Good bar and vibe with a great beer selection

14/08/2025: Incredible food and service. Felt like we were back in Spain

11/08/2025: Excellent restaurant with lovely food and ambience. Will definitely be back.

01/08/2025: After two weeks in Co. Donegal this was by far the best food we have had all holiday. It is never easy catering for a vegetarian a carnivore and a pescatarian at any restaurant but it was no problem here and each noted how outstanding the food was. This is a first in over 25 years of travelling together. That says a lot

25/07/2025: Absolutely 💯 %, fantastic food & excellent service.

01/06/2025: Best coffees you’ll find in Dublin, amazing treats to blow your mind, best service from Frayank and the team and not that matters to me but it’s all vegan

01/06/2025: The range of food is very tasty, as someone who isn’t vegan can safely say one of the best cafes in Dublin City centre and coffee that’s always just ready to go from the first sip

14/07/2025: Simply perfect, good food, nice people, lovely place! What more could you ask for?

04/07/2025: Great spot for breakfast. Exceptional service, food was tasty and well presented

28/07/2025: Fabulous, staff are lovely and owner is so nice. She came and chatted with us. The halloumi was delicious

25/07/2025: Delicious food at a reasonable price It’s a lovely restaurant with great service. I would definitely recommend a visit when you’re in New Ross

24/07/2025: Went here for lunch and it was lovely. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Food was so tasty and the home made chips are beautiful!!

05/07/2025: My favourite place for breakfast in Cavan. You never leave disappointed. Service is very friendly and timely. Food is amazing and you won't leave with an empty stomach that's for sure. A must visit place to eat in Cavan no matter the occasion.

30/06/2025: A fantastic menu full of choice. Amazing home made brown bread and banana bread Friendly efficient service and great value with very big portions

01/07/2025: I loved the bartender out front. He was really personable and shared a tip for where to eat the next night when the pub was closed. It took a while to be seated and then for our food to come out, but we enjoyed a beverage while we waited. Most of us ordered the special...steak and Guinness pie. It was pretty good, came with fries. I didn't know there'd be mushrooms, so I had to pull them out. The desserts were a hit as there was Pavlov and fruit, dticky pudding, and a brownie with ice cream...yum! Too bad the pub isn't open again while we are here so we could try other menu items. It is open Thurs-Sunday only.

22/06/2025: Delicious, fresh, homely food. Desserts very nice also.

21/07/2025: Outstanding pizza in perfect location. Friendly and attentive staff.

20/07/2025: Very good experience and also with GLUTEN-FREE options!!!

20/06/2025: We always love this place for food but I have to say that the smell of oil fumes can be overpowering at times. Even in warm weather it's there and I notice a pellet stove up further which cannot cause the fumes. I also notice that nobody from the establishment doesn't answer reviews which Imust say is not very business like.

08/06/2025: Lovely roast beef dinner, staff super friendly and quick service :)

23/07/2025: Only one problem, and it’s a big one, they are not nearer my house.

23/07/2025: Amazing place Pistachio lovers should get the suprime 🫠 my heart just melted with every bite ❤️

06/08/2025: Loved the place. Food, drinks, atmosphere, staff, everything was what expected and even more.

06/08/2025: Could not have picked a better place in Dublin, service was brilliant, staff so friendly. Food was very nice, traditional Irish dishes.. and a great pint of Guinness. There was live music and it was just the best, the two chaps were brilliant.. we had so much fun and didn’t want to leave. Definitely will be back!!

27/07/2025: Lovely staff, delicious burger.
