The best restaurants

14/06/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall, we had a pleasant experience, but it didn't quite live up to the hype. We waited about 45 minutes for our food, which felt a bit long considering the dishes were good but fairly average. The seafood was fresh and reasonably priced, so I wouldn't call it overpriced. The oysters were definitely the highlight of the meal—excellent quality and very enjoyable. The chowder was good and comforting, though fairly straightforward and nothing particularly memorable. The patatas bravas were a little disappointing, as they arrived somewhat soggy. The boyfriend called it a passable grade bland meal - had beer battered fish. Service was fine, and the atmosphere was enjoyable, but the restaurant felt a bit overrated based on our experience. One area that could use attention is the restroom, which was quite messy during our visit. That said, we still had a nice meal, and there are some standout items on the menu. Worth trying if you're in the area, just perhaps with slightly tempered expectations.

11/06/2026: Very enjoyable! The oysters and mussels are so delicious. The sauce of mussels is super nice! Maybe it’s not best season of scampis. Still 100% recommend!

28/05/2026: Wonderful place to enjoy an evening meal. Our waitress Emily gave us such good service and even asked the chef what kind of sauce we had with our duck. She offered to order us a bottle but we did not have the time. So instead she poured some sauce on a waterbottle and gave to us free of charge. Would not even accept a tip for this wonderful gesture. "This is how we do it up here" she said. The food was very good and you sertanly get your money worth. Would absolutely recommend all of my friends and family to go here.

05/04/2026: Amazing spot, beautiful food. The Owner, Saff and locals really friendly and helpful , went above and beyond for us 🙏🏼🇮🇪

06/05/2026: After walking the town and spending some time down by the harbor just taking it all in, I figured it was time to grab a bite. I made my way over to Kelly’s Pub, settled in, and kept it simple with a Jameson, ginger, and lime. No luck on food; no pub toasty this time. Slight disappointment there. But honestly, it didn’t take much away from the stop. It was one of those smaller, quieter pubs where you’re not there for anything flashy, just a drink and a moment to sit. I stayed for a bit, listening to the staff talking back and forth, the kind of easy conversation that tells you this place runs on familiarity more than anything else. Even without the food, it was still a solid pause in the day.

05/05/2026: If you're looking for a truly quaint spot, this pub is a must-see. It's located right on the beautiful seaside promenade, and the atmosphere is truly Irish. I drank an excellent Guinness, expertly poured. Keep in mind that they don't serve hot meals or food, so if you're feeling peckish, your only option is the classic bag of chips (which always go well with beer). Prices are absolutely average for the area. Highly recommended for a refreshing drink.

02/12/2025: Wow this is a little hidden gem :) It is in a little random place but once you find it, it is a cozy and warm place to be! Great for kids and the food... is one of the best bang for buck deals in Dublin!!

27/11/2025: This place is gorgeous. The food is carefully sourced, well made and fairly priced, but above all delicious. Sitting by the window with a coffee in an enamel cup is a singular joy. I have noticed it is really family friendly also. The owners have created something really special here.

01/01/2026: Great vibe and atmosphere. Food were great. I missed here and I will surely return!

23/12/2025: Really good food, coffee and staff. The staff are friendly and the service is great. They are accommodating and happy to help. The outdoor covered seating area is very uniquely decorated, and very much adds to the atmosphere. The decor lives up to the cafe name. They provide blankets and heaters so no worries about being cold. The vegan options are delicious, as is the coffee and sweet treats

03/01/2026: Beautiful, quirky pub with a unique character. Excellent Guinness, Estrella Galicia 0.0, and friendly staff... their Copper Throat cask strength whiskey is quite good too. This is a local for those who prefer an intimate, authentic setting over larger, more modern venues. A great spot if you want a pint in a place with soul, character, and a warm, fireplace-lit welcome. It does feel like a "living room" rather than a commercial bar, with music-heavy decor, vintage memorabilia, and an open fireplace. Music seems to be central to its identity, particularly during the Skerries Traditional Music Weekend, but also with a great eclectic soundtrack. Overall a well balanced cosy atmosphere with a traditional Irish pub feel and a modern, somewhat alternative edge. In addition to being a pub, it now houses a coffee shop and bakery right beside.

12/12/2025: Such a cosy pub and warm atmosphere. Perfect for a date, few deinks and caters for large groups too and opens late. Didn't eat here but say the food is pretty good if they do serve food.

13/06/2026: A lovely pub, great atmosphere, good Nechi beer, very tasty and inexpensive food.

04/06/2026: Food lovely and nice atmosphere Usually food pubs don't attract drinkers but this has good mix of both hence good atmosphere

03/06/2026: I had an amazing Thai Yellow Curry here the best I’ve ever had. Chocolate brownie with ice cream for dessert was amazing as well. The vegan pad Thai was amazing also

01/06/2026: Having lived in Thailand, it's always difficult to find "authentic" Thai cuisine in Europe. But here, the food was delicious and the portions were generous. The female staff, in particular, exuded Thai charm. Definitely recommended.

19/05/2026: A lovely place with great food and great staff.

17/05/2026: Place is excellent and staff was awesome.

05/12/2025: A well-balanced cafe that manages to stay comfortable even during busy hours. The layout allows people to sit without feeling cramped, and the overall pace never feels rushed. It’s a good spot for slowing down, having longer conversations, or simply taking time out while staying close to the city’s energy.

02/12/2025: Modern, upbeat cafe with staff who clearly enjoy their work. The atmosphere is lively but never overwhelming, making it suitable for casual meetings or solo visits. Coffee quality is high, and the space has a natural flow that keeps visitors comfortable for longer periods.

09/06/2026: Had the Irish stew and the fish and chips. Huge portions very good food. Unique atmosphere.

08/06/2026: Such a cool place with great food, drinks and service! 10/10 peri peri chicken wings and the server had great drink recommendations and even offered to take our picture behind the bar!

01/06/2026: 🍕 I ordered from Apache Pizza recently and was really impressed! The pizza arrived hot and fresh, with plenty of tasty toppings 😋. Delivery was quick 🚗💨 and everything was spot on. Definitely one of my favourite pizza places now. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

01/06/2026: 😍 Absolutely loved my order from Apache Pizza! The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and everything arrived right on time ⏰🍕. You can really tell they use quality ingredients. Will definitely be ordering again soon! 🙌⭐

12/04/2026: Servers were lovely and the portion sizes were massive. Nice place would come back

11/04/2026: Very nice restaurant in the heart of Dublin. The staff were friendly and helpful. We ordered the Carbonara and the Amatriciana. There was a problem with the Carbonara and the staff was quick to offer another plate or to remove it from the bill. The Amatriciana was delicious with a great sauce and perfectly cooked pasta. We will definitely give them another try. 👍

18/05/2026: Great restaurant food and service very good.

16/05/2026: Portions are big, not too expensive, not too cheap
