The best restaurants

05/06/2026: I fricking love this place dude it is the best coffee shop ever! They also do sweet treat snacks 😉and the staff are immaculate and so welcoming and amazing manners!

04/06/2026: Great coffee. Cakes/pastries are a little overpriced. Coconut matcha with vanilla syrup priced at over €6.

30/07/2026: Busy takeaway which seems to be good indication. Chicken chunks are solid and not falling apart like in some other takeaways. My satay meter is unfortunately 0 out of 5. Sauce base is same starch as of most of takeaways would do. No nuts, no lemon grass aroma.

17/07/2026: Visited home recently and couldn't resist A house special curry banging lads well missed from London

05/07/2026: Always been banging food but last night got two single burgers instead of one double was super disappointed as the burgers are banging

19/06/2026: Good food and combination of tastes on burgers is excellent

29/08/2026: One of the best breakfasts I've had. TY.

23/08/2026: I was here today so amazing place, too busy but fast service, chicken curry and breakfast was amazing .💕

18/09/2026: Do not order for delivery took them 2 hours to deliver our food

29/05/2026: Been coming every Friday for the past I don't know how many months, food quality has gotten worse , the chips, they used to be the reason parnell is what it was known for , now the chips are unbearable to eat, don't know if not being cooked properly or switched ingredients. Also at busier times the customer service isn't great as the staff can be not so mannerly.

15/05/2026: The food was cold, poorly presented, and I waited a long time. The table was dirty and greasy, and I waited 15 minutes for it to be cleaned.

10/05/2026: We ordered two chicken & chorizo sandwiches and a BLT and honestly all three were awful. The sandwiches weren’t even toasted, the chicken had absolutely no flavour, and there was barely any chorizo in them. The salad came completely dry with no dressing, which just summed up the whole meal. The BLT was equally disappointing. For the prices charged, the food quality was terrible. Definitely won’t be returning.

06/09/2026: I have always loved visiting elm cafe but when i was here last week, i ordered a toastie and my son ordered the pancakes. Upon reviewing out food, i noticed a hair in my sons food. This was a curly, dark, thin hair. I immediately alerted the woman at the counter and she was horrified and apologised immediately. My food was on the house but to be frank, it doesn’t make up for that disgusting hair that was in the KIDS pancakes. My son didn’t notice it and only for i did, he would’ve eaten it.

05/09/2026: Food was nice but portion was small and forgetting about my meal. Service was poor. Not very happy

03/08/2026: Fantastic Tandori mixed grill - way too much so I have some to take home. Staff very engaging and courteous. 5/6!

10/07/2026: We got the veggie set menu for 2 and we were really pleasantly surprised with how good it was. The pakora and samosa were delicious! The sag aloo was fantastic, naan was good, balti was delicious and so was the korma - I don’t understand a lot of the other reviews complaining about the korma having ‘too much coconut and almond’ we thought it was delicious and thankfully not too sweet! We got a takeaway as we were too late to eat in any of the local pubs etc - for €30 for the two of us we really couldn’t fault it - loads of food and we thought it was all lovely!

06/09/2026: We are members of the RACV club in Victoria. We thought we would use the reciprocal club in Dublin, Assuming it would be of the same standard. How wrong we were. Our stay was like being in an episode of Faulty Towers. The club is run down, tired, untidy ! And completely behind the times. Reception was underwhelming especially on our arrival on a Sunday. I actually had to ask if I was in the right place it was so disheveled and chaotic. The room was very old and outdated. The bed reasonably comfortable which was a bonus. We had planned on staying there twice during our trip but immediately cancelled the second stay after night one. Very disappointing and it should not be a reciprocal club until it’s given a complete overhaul. The location is 5 star but that’s it.

28/08/2026: Deeply disappointed by an incident outside this venue. While temporarily seeking shelter from heavy rain at the entrance alongside a Muslim woman, a male member/guest arriving via the intercom openly referred to us as 'street rats.' This dehumanising and prejudiced language is disgraceful. Management has been formally notified with the exact timestamp. Dehumanising members of the public should never be normalised or ignored by historic Dublin institutions.

23/09/2026: Staff are so polite and friendly!

09/09/2026: I went to pick up a Too Good To Go order and the staff were so nice!

06/09/2026: I’ll say, Chin Can Cook indeed. My partner went feral for the spice bag and I couldn’t get a word out of her for about 20 minutes. Will be back next time we’re in Wexford!

28/06/2026: Brilliant food. Definitely recommend

20/08/2026: Was in carlow for a few days we ate ther twice food was amazing staff were lovely friendly and the service was excelent

02/08/2026: Food very Nice, good service ❤️

03/09/2026: Staff weren't very friendly, the coffee was ok put a bit pricey

27/06/2026: Best thing about this coffee shop is the wonderful customer service. All of the staff are so friendly and helpful. The food is amazing too. Staff are great with kids also.

06/01/2026: Unfortunately, Nanny Quinns has closed down now. We didn't book ahead of time but we will in future. That said they were very accommodating and took the pressure in their stride.Lovely old style pub serving great food and a great pint. The atmosphere was lovely and the service was second to none. Beside the canal so perfect for a drink on warmer days. I have passed it by for years but now that we are actually living nearby, we will definitely be frequent visitors.

27/08/2026: Really nice food at good price. Very friendly atmosphere

22/08/2026: Really disappointing experience. We came in with our small baby and the restaurant was very quiet, with around eight tables free. We were initially told there were no sausages left, which is absolutely fine, but the tone and attitude of the staff member were unnecessarily rude. She even referred to me as “she” when speaking to my husband, despite me standing directly behind her. We sat at a four-seater table because we had a buggy and a baby with us, and we actually chose to leave the buggy outside so we weren't in anyone's way. Despite the restaurant being largely empty, we were then asked if anyone else was joining us and told we would be moved if not. The whole interaction felt aggressive and intimidating, which was particularly disappointing when we had a small baby with us. When I raised the issue, I was told the staff member was “just doing her job”. Unfortunately, the way she was doing it made us feel extremely unwelcome. We had literally just placed our order when we decided to leave because of the way we had been treated. We immediately asked for a refund, but this was refused. As a result, we had no choice but to take all of the food away with us. While the food is overpriced, it is perfectly good, but customer service matters, and unfortunately our experience was extremely unpleasant. We left feeling uncomfortable and disappointed, and I certainly wouldn't return based on the way we were treated.
