The best restaurants

16/12/2025: . Kitchen unorganised. Waited too long for food (35mins). Burgers are on the menu that they don’t have. Was given house chips instead. Only 2 slices pepperoni, a few hidden pieces of bacon with a nice sauce and basic chips.

20/11/2025: Food was ok. Service was very slow. 2.5 hours for 3 course dinner and half an hour was waiting for the bill. Music was too loud in the restaurant and noise levels from nearby tables makes it difficult to hear your table companions further away.

28/12/2025: Nice place, good location, lovely ambience. The food was good but elements missing. There should have been miso soup alongside two meals, which never arrived. My dessert was ice-cream with tuiles cases and berries. There were 2 blueberries! That's a disappointment. Don't bother saying berries, if you are going to serve two! Don't say you serve miso soup alongside, if you're not going to do that.

22/12/2025: Very poor experience received by management not on the ground staff. We had booked for 16 people food and karaoke - they charged us a €320 deposit for this booking, €20 euro per person which we thought was originally a bit steep! This was also not redeemable against payments on the day. We had group of 13 sit down for food, we had 3 friends that were unable to attend on the day due to illness - typical of the time of year close to Christmas with flus etc. In total between food (€870) , karaoke, where we also had additional friends join (€420) and drinks probably €500+ we spent close to the €2000 mark. Food and service were fine but nothing special, expensive as Dublin generally is but there are much better Japanese restaurants in Dublin. They are now refusing to return €60 of the deposit based on the fact that we had 3 friends not sit down for dinner with us, despite the fact we spent nearly €2000 in Maneki on the night. They are saying this is because we didn't have an accurate number of people for the booking 5 days prior to the date of the dinner - anyone that has an illness surely knows that you can't predict it five days beforehand and you are doing the right thing by not attending and spreading it to everyone else, despite this still 13 of us attended and there wasn't any money lost for Maneki. They have stopped replying to our emails and it has left an incredibly bad impression on our larger friend group who are all based in Dublin, none of us will return to Maneki again and will not recommend it to anyone in our wider circles based on the experience. Table was also delayed by 20 mins when we arrived and the karaoke room was also delayed by 20-30 mins. Mics were also way to high in the karaoke room which wasn't very enjoyable but the issue could not be resolved by the staff. To me, it seems that they take the deposit to make sure that you do not get some of it back, they made us even sign a waiver for the karaoke in case of any issues, seems like an incredibly greedy business model! Any of the Chinese restaurants on Parnell St are a much better recommendation for karaoke in Dublin :)

27/10/2025: Went for a sharing group session 🤍 had a lovely time, so cozy.

20/10/2025: A sweet homey atmosphere to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee in

26/09/2025: Great atmosphere! Everyone was friendly and accommodating

08/09/2025: Enjoyed a quality coffee and sandwich here today. Worth a visit

10/01/2026: Visited here today. Portions sizes are laughable. Two tiny pieces of chicken in the tender meal. Definitely won't be going back here.

28/12/2025: I went to Eddie Rockets Liffey Valley today and it has been my first time there in a couple of months. I have always enjoyed my visits but won’t be going again as the quality of the food has dropped drastically. The chicken tender, as shown on image, from the basket meal is smaller than a boneless wing. To serve something like that to a customer paying a high price is insulting to the customer and an embarrassment to the company. The amount of chips served was also laughable and would not feed a child. I would have rather paid a higher price, which is already high, than to receive this… absolute joke. Staff was lovely though.

08/07/2025: The worst tiramisu I have ever had. The layer didn't go well. I felt more like eating a dry tiramisu with not properly layered with cream. And the coffee powder sprinkling was so bad. They use the same base for both biscoff and tiramisu.

03/07/2025: Absolutely amazing! Huge portions at a very low price, full of flavour and protein. One sandwich can feed a starving man! Friendly staff and great service in French Tacos– truly impressed. 🌟

04/02/2026: Sorry I just went in to use the toilet on my way to Drogheda, nice bright and very clean,

16/01/2026: Friendly barman, great service and clean bathrooms. Great place, would love to come back someday. Got the sandwich.

22/03/2026: Stains all over my food and the food took 19 miniutes and 3 seconds there was stains all over the walls but atleast the atmosphere was electric

08/12/2025: Delicious and delightful. However I often wonder how authentic this oriental experience is as they sell burgers and the only person I've seen work there is a white woman. 当局者迷，旁观者清。

08/03/2026: Bins overflowing with rubbish. Rubbish on tables. Had to clean our own table. Floor covered in food waste. Staff cleaning windows

06/03/2026: Absolutely amazing service, and food was so yummy

06/01/2026: What a beautiful little resteraunt ,the staff were very efficient and helpful . The food was fantastic

28/12/2025: Place looked nice but it was so crowded I couldn't stay

08/01/2026: Great pub with traditional Irish music

06/01/2026: This is a lively pub, especially if you’re into live music—it’s definitely worth checking out. On weekends, it gets busy and energetic, with a great buzz. If you prefer a calmer, more relaxed evening, weekdays are the way to go. The place itself is huge, with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, so there’s usually space no matter when you visit.

09/01/2026: A great place to meet with friends, whether you’re just stopping by for a cup of coffee or planning to enjoy a full dinner. They also prepare meat exceptionally well, so if you’re looking for a really good steak, this is definitely the place to go.

08/01/2026: A few of ur recently visited Germaine's pub / restraint on a Friday evening. The staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient. We had a drink and some food, the food was good the portions were also good. Athmosphire,there wa none. There was one other couple there. The biggest problem for me was the cold. There was a stove benith the TV, that was it. We ended up putting our coats back on while having our meal. I came out with a runny nose, from the cold. It took me at least an hour to feel warm after going home.

27/11/2025: Lovely cosy pub with open fire.

24/08/2025: Great pub. We stayed here 1 night upstairs - really good. Can watch EPL and other sports here too

14/09/2025: Have visited a few times now and the food is always amazing. Very friendly and welcoming owners and staff. Would highly recommend.

09/09/2025: Popped in for lunch as knew was dog friendly Lovely Huntsman breakfast and bonus leftover sausage for the dog Staff super friendly and food delicious, great hidden spot in the curragh
