The best restaurants

12/04/2026: I was pleasantly surprised. The food usually takes a little while, but it's worth it, and the service is very friendly. But if there's one downside, it's the door—wow! 😳 I sat almost at the entrance and I think I got up seven or eight times to close it because it wouldn't close automatically, and water and wind were getting in, which was quite uncomfortable. Opening and closing it is rather awkward and unintuitive; you practically have to slam it shut, and you hear that every five minutes. It's not pleasant.

07/04/2026: Definitely a must visit. Reserve a table if you're planning to be here on a public holiday or weekend as it can be difficult to get a table. Had a wonderful and amazing roast chicken and bangers and mash. Service was impressive and the ambience was wonderful!

28/09/2025: Very pleasant atmosphere, great service, and good food. For such an iconic place, it's not overly expensive compared to other places in Dublin.

28/09/2025: Stopped in for a pint and to hang a FD patch. Staff were great and made me take a selfie with it.

09/04/2026: Nice food, good low prices, would recommend it

05/04/2026: Very good food. We got the Pad Thai and the Fried rice. Highly recommend!

09/10/2025: Popped in yesterday for a coffee after an event in the Rds, ordered but than realised I only had cash and it was card only.The lady at the till replied that’s okay just do something nice for someone.We left the cash on the counter and said do with that as you please ,such a kind interaction.Food was fantastic and so was the coffee very quick and amazing service. Thank you guys !

06/10/2025: I am visiting Dublin for a few days but the experiences I had here made me want to move here. I came here on a very busy Sunday and even though this place was packed to the gills everyone that worked there was so kind and polite. They were quick and efficient. The coffee was so good that I came back the next day. It was considerably less busy on a late Monday morning. I was able to sit outside and enjoy my delicious breakfast and coffee. The flat white was amazing. These people know how to make a good cup of coffee. The woman with the curly hair and bubbly personality made me feel so welcome. She even remembered my name when I left. Wish I could stay longer and become a regular. Come here and you will not be disappointed.

29/11/2025: Excellent food. First class service. Good atmosphere. I will be back Went again tonight As good as the last time It's still worth a visit

14/11/2025: Tofu Bento was amazing. There are few veggie options, but the ones they have are pretty good.

07/04/2026: Had a brilliant stay in the Lyrath Hotel for my girlfriend’s birthday. The hotel has so much character and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious with lovely green views. We took a walk down by the lake and it was spectacular, seeing herons and swans by the water. They do have a Falconry, which I would definitely do next time! I booked The Grill restaurant for food and the food was easily some of the nicest, (if not the nicest) food I’ve ever had on a night away. We had the beef fillet with chips and tender-stem broccoli and it was absolutely unbelievable. Would definitely recommend a stay in here even if just for one night to relax, have some good food and enjoy a bit of music with a drink. Would love to come back here in the future.

07/04/2026: Such a beautiful hotel! Rooms are lovely and the food is amazing. The staff are so friendly, helpful and cannot do enough for you. The grounds of the hotel are gorgeous. I would highly recommend the spa, it's so relaxing and the pool has a great view over the gardens. I have stayed here twice now and each stay has been outstanding. Would highly recommend.

03/04/2026: One of the party was vegetarian and gluten free, they couldn't have been more accommodating. The dish was full of flavour and texture, baked on site gf bread, flavoursome starter and main. Friendly staff and quiet, warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone!

13/01/2026: (Traducido por Google) Fantástico servicio Gran menú (Original) Fantastic service Great Menu

05/11/2025: I visited Chequer Lane by Jamie Oliver in Dublin for dinner, and the food was superb and amongst the best that I had during my time in the city. While there wasn't a dedicated gluten-free menu provided, my server talked me through the options and all the staff members had great knowledge of what I could and couldn't eat, I opted for the steak, which was served with a fresh garlic butter, the steak was delicious, had so much flavour and was cooked perfectly, and didn't even need any extra sauce, the fries again were so good, they were fresh, tasty and all the flavours had delivered. My only disappointment was in my cocktail - it was overloaded with ice and was almost like a slush. The other members of my party were also pleased with their food. The vibes inside the restaurant were really nice too - it felt premium yet with a modern twist so it didn't feel pretentious and you wouldn't feel out of place coming in after spending the day sightseeing around Dublin, it was that perfect combination. I'd return to Dublin alone for that steak!

04/11/2025: Excellent dinner. Burger. Beef tortellini. Old fashioned. Delicious!

24/04/2026: One of the top three places from our trip to Ireland. I had the lamb and it was excellent.

21/04/2026: Had heard good things but was sadly disappointed. Service from the young man behind the bar was unfriendly and almost hostile, atmosphere was cold and no ambience. Unoccupied tables sat still dirty, and USA police badges stuck everywhere, quite off-putting. Interesting history and good location near the castle and river, but not worth visiting when there are so many great pubs to compare it to.

05/03/2026: Lovely place to go for food and a nice pint 👍

18/02/2026: (Traducido por Google) Estilo antiguo, buena comida, buen personal. (Original) Old style great food good staff

19/09/2025: Lovely restaurant in Rathmines. Pizza was excellent, maybe the service should be a little bit quicker but I love it

18/09/2025: Lately they've downgraded in terms of customer experience. This has been my local since they open. Staff was always really sound and would make classic cocktails outside the menu or accommodate certain details, last two times I went there, they were rude and seemed like they were rushing everything and couldn't be bothered even when it wasnt a busy evening. Would hate to see them going down that path.

27/04/2026: While we didn’t spend the night, we did enjoy the great food. Beautiful bar!

08/04/2026: Hotel located in a beautiful area. The staff is very welcoming and pleasant, especially the lady who served us breakfast, which was excellent and varied. Large parking lot not far from the hotel. We ate at the restaurant one evening, and it was excellent! It's a shame that such a beautiful hotel has a view of the ventilation vents coming out of the kitchen roof...

03/04/2026: Idk y’all… food was quite mid esp considering the price. My veggie dish felt like it was heated up in the microwave sadly. My partner’s beef he said was fine. We didn’t bother with dessert. Would skip esp if only doing one meal in Cork as portions are literally tiny for 27€.

27/03/2026: Soo good - everything was delicious and service impeccable

24/04/2026: A true hidden gem. The seafood was exceptionally fresh and top quality! The scallops were the best we’ve ever had, and the fish fry is easily the best in Dublin. An absolute must-visit, but be sure to make a reservation.

22/04/2026: Great food. Great atmosphere and very friendly.
