The best restaurants

12/06/2026: When we first entered the room, we were welcomed by a fish smell because the window was broken and the fumes from the kitchen were directly entering. We tried watching tv and couldn't because nearly all the channels were locked with a pin code that not even the manager knew. The water in the sink wouldn't drain. We tried to shower before bed but the hot water was shut off without prior notice. During the night, we were unable to sleep because all you could hear were the sounds of the pipes in the building that sounded exactly like a ship's horn going off every 10 minutes. We were left there wide awake to stare at the huge water damage stains in the ceiling. My partner suffers from epilepsy and sleep is more important for him than for the average person. At the price of 207€ for a night we at the very least expected to get a decent night's rest and that was not the case. We spoke to the manager and he told us he couldn't issue us a full refund. Only 20€. He said it wasn't within his power and that we'd have to go through Booking.com for a refund. Surprise surprise, it turns out he simply does not want to refund more than half. Very deceitful. This is place is more of a hostel.

10/06/2026: Recently had a two night stay here celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary, top marks all round, lovely hotel, exceptional staff from Louise on reception to Olya in the restaurant and Paul the owner, all so friendly and helpful, great location, will definitely return and would highly recommend. Many thanks Margaret & Tom

09/06/2026: A fantastic place, full of history and works of art, with a clear and very intuitive presentation, allowing for easy understanding, even without a guide. Each work has a proper description with all the necessary information for a perfect understanding.

08/06/2026: It's full of objects but too compressed. Light are old and not enough to see everything and read. Also everything could be better organized adding information like line history and more maps.

19/04/2026: We had a wonderful meal here tonight, the burger was put of this world. Thank you for treating us so well.

05/04/2026: Connor, the barman at Avenue Bar and Restaurant, is absolutely exceptional. His mixology is incredible, his service is outstanding, and it is all topped off with the kind of personality every customer hopes for. Connor is the reason we became repeat customers. If his drinks were not already the star of the show, he easily would be himself. He has made several evenings truly memorable. Matteo also deserves a special mention. He is consistently welcoming, attentive and professional, and he adds so much to the warm atmosphere of the place. His service is excellent, and he helps make every visit feel smooth, relaxed and enjoyable. They are truly lucky to have him, and his contribution certainly does not go unnoticed. Andrew was an absolute pleasure to be served by. He was attentive, personable and eager to make sure everything was just right, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. What really stood out was the human touch in his service — we had such a lovely chat with him, and it was genuinely refreshing to be served by someone so warm and engaging.

13/05/2026: Got a vegan spice bag... I was looking forward to it. It was very small a rip off

17/03/2026: Great fresh and tasty food. Quick delivery. All you need

11/06/2026: Quaint little tea house with the best scones!

07/06/2026: We had a gluten-free breakfast! Was delicious and service was great and really nice! Washroom was clean. Was pretty crowded, as it is a good place to have breakfast. A lot of local people go there.

25/05/2026: 19,20€ for two jagger shots. Shameless

23/05/2026: We went there the other night as soon as we arrived in Dublin. The place has a typically Irish feel, well-maintained, and a great atmosphere. There was live music, so it was quite lively during happy hour. There's a good selection of beers, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Recommended!

07/01/2026: We stopped here for lunch after visiting the Kilmainham Gaol, on the way to the Guinness Storehouse. Service was friendly and prompt. My Napoli panini (basically eggplant parm with pesto) was excellent; the pesto was terrific. My ginger carrot soup was good, but a hair on the bland side for my taste. My wife's margarita pizza slice was good, very cheesy. Her salad was OK, but some of the lettuce seemed a little old. The decor is fun. A bottle of water and glasses was already set when we sat down. We'd definitely return.

20/12/2025: The only place to find the true taste of Italy in the area! Fantastic spaghetti bolognese, mouthwatering bruschettas - and plenty more, always made with the best, fresh ingredients. An absolute must in D8!

06/11/2025: Nice Rap Music in the background, great cinnamon rolls and good Cappuccino. Friendly service.

02/11/2025: Great coffee! Nice to be able to order coffee as Gaeilge as well!

27/05/2026: Great service, location perfect for Dingle Walk, food was very good.

14/05/2026: Great bar, kind staff, good food.

07/12/2025: Hi Patrick and to all who knew my dad Mario, I think of you all often, and next time I am in Ireland I'll do my best to pop up for a visit. I hope you are all well, I hope you all have a lovely Christmas 2025. Fabio

25/10/2025: 5 stars all the way for our day 2 wedding celebrations at Swan's Curragh. If you are looking for a venue look no further than Swan's. Amazing atmosphere and very friendly staff. Even a lift home at the end if the night. Thank you Patrick for the music and food recommendations a perfect night to end our celebrations Ken and Rosalind

09/09/2025: Authentic pub with fantastic food! Service was rather mediocre.

09/09/2025: The Skeff is part of the The Skeffington Arms Hotel. Food was very good. The Seafood Chowder and a couple of (non!) Stout beers from other parts of Ireland were a welcomed change of pace. IPA's, actually. One from Letterkenny, and the other from Kill, County Kildare. Other than the service being just a tad slow, it was (overall) very good. And the live music was magical this night. Okay...Not exactly magical, but covers from bands/artists that everyone knows, sung by a group of a youngish band of 3 called The Groev. They did a great job, actually.

26/11/2025: Amazing food, amazing prices, service and atmosphere. It's our new stop for future road trips to Galway breakfast stop. Delicious.

22/11/2025: Great service and lovely food, would recommend the club sandwich!

07/06/2026: Lovely food after visiting the animal farm in Maynooth. Add fries as side option will be great.

07/06/2026: Great experience had with my family everyone enjoyed themselves. Great staff and chef was really funny and great with the kids. Well priced lovely tasty food and the home made sauces where delicious 😋 we bought some to bring home. I've been many times and will be back again. 💯 % Satisfaction

30/12/2025: Good food, good prices. Staff is nice.

16/11/2025: Mani In pasta italian restaurant offers a warm and inviting dining experience filled with rich flavors and comforting dishes. The menu typically includes classics like pasta, pizza, risotto, and fresh salads, all made with quality ingredients and plenty of authenticity. The atmosphere is cozy, often featuring soft lighting and charming décor that gives a true Italian feel. Service is attentive and friendly, and staff are usually happy to recommend dishes or wine pairings. Whether you’re enjoying a casual meal or a special occasion, an Italian restaurant delivers delicious food, great ambiance, and a genuinely enjoyable experience.

03/04/2026: 5/5 for everything, blissful experience - we recommend the spring rolls, chicken sweet and sour, Thai Red Curry - all splendid. The service was excellent and staff are lovely.

26/03/2026: Great food and lovely ambiance to meet friends or have a birthday dinner 👌❤️
