The best restaurants in Dublin

15/01/2026: I recently stayed at Bracken Court Hotel over two weekends, and it was a wonderful experience. The hotel itself is beautifully built with a charming, classic feel that adds to its character. The staff were absolutely lovely—friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The rooms offered a lovely view from the window, which made mornings even better. Breakfast was delicious and well-prepared. On my first weekend, the dining experience was simple and pleasant, while the second weekend featured a buffet that was excellent. The restaurant food overall was very good, and I really enjoyed the quality and taste. There was also a music band during my stay, which was excellent and added a nice touch to the overall experience. If you’re looking for a hotel with great service, good food, and a warm atmosphere, Brecon Court Hotel is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended!

04/01/2026: This property is well appointed in the restaurant and lobby areas and focuses on providing locals dinner and drinks but drops the ball in terms of service for hotel guests. The bathroom was antiquated and not in good state. Three times our breakfast delivery was forgotten. The room was not made for two days. There are no luggage racks and no assistance with luggage.

17/11/2025: Yes, this is a small cafe, but the food and service is excellent 😁👍 highly recommend to visit here

10/11/2025: Delicious Irish breakfast. Cozy and local.

19/01/2026: Great place for good food and atmospheric

23/12/2025: Rude, bad Guinness. Not sure why the grey haired bar man has such an attitude. Lost a few customers tonight for no reason.

02/01/2026: We had a great diner! The restaurant atmosphere is very nice and the food delicious.

21/12/2025: Great service from the barman Murat. Friendly and professional, with a great sense of humour. He made us absolutely fabulous cocktails — delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommend!

04/09/2025: Really enjoyed my visit here. The service was excellent and Lana behind the bar was amazing, friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Will definitely be back!

24/08/2025: Best Guinness in town. Apparently rates so by a “Guineas advisor” - I agree. Staff are lovely. Very easygoing atmosphere

25/01/2026: Another great night out at the academy. A real intimate space for a great up close experience

05/01/2026: First visit here, great venue for watching smaller bands. Not massive queues at the bar and plenty of places with good views of the stage.

01/02/2026: Everything was excellent, exceptional fries. The sandwich was very good, I recommend it for a quick lunch. Much better than the usual fast food chains.

30/01/2026: I've been to several Five Guys restaurants in other countries, and I visit whenever I can – they're great!

07/01/2026: Best ever shop, good values and best price

24/12/2025: My partner was just around at this supervalue grabbing the last few bits for Christmas and she was followed all over the shop not only today but the other day by this new so called security guard? If this happens one more time I will be coming into the shop to take this matter up with management.. Who do they think they are profiling her?

19/01/2026: GOOD I came here in september 2025. I arrived at a very charming place with friendly and helpful staff. The food is good, even if it's classic Irish cuisine, but nothing exceptional. I recommend this restaurant because I still had a very good time there with my family.

05/01/2026: Went to The Woollen Mills and honestly loved it. The place has a really cozy vibe and the location is great. The food was super tasty and felt really fresh. the portions were spot on. We didn’t have to wait long, and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back next time I’m in Dublin

07/02/2026: Food was tasty and fresh. Very enjoyable

05/02/2026: I was sent an email to claim my free spice bag offer ends 6th of February. I voted and I always get Chinese from you. I was told no the offer ended yesterday the 4th. Not happy with that. I was looking forward to that spice bag. Yes I could’ve bought one but i voted and got an email to claim a free one and I had up until the 6th to redeem. Won’t be voting again. I did vote before the 4th. I went in and was trying to tell the guy at the desk. He wasn’t listening to me he kept saying his boss said no it’s done and he just kept saying it and picked up the phone and left me standing there I was embarrassed and walked off then. I showed him the email but he didn’t want to know.

13/01/2026: The food was okay, nothing special, but the service was disappointing. It took ages for the food to be brought to our table, which really affected the overall experience. Probably wouldn’t rush back.

03/01/2026: Great Pakistani taste of chicken Karahi as well as falooda. Highly recommended.

03/02/2026: Absolutely shocking no que was out for the night wasn't even packed doorman refused me entry didn't argue walked away then got into 3 other places without any problems. Miss this place out on your list to go!

23/01/2026: My friends and I absolutely loved the atmosphere at RIOT. From the moment we arrived, the vibe was amazing : great music, a really cool place, and a unique energy that makes you want to stay all night !! The drinks are excellent and well made, you can really tell there’s attention to quality. We were truly charmed by the entire RIOT team ⭐: always smiling, kind, welcoming and genuinely attentive. They make you feel comfortable and at home straight away. Definitely a must-visit spot in Dublin for a great night out. We’ll 100% be back!

11/10/2025: Friendly staff and great food - easy, mixed menu. Everything ordered was on point. Cool place to hang out

09/06/2025: Absolutely lovely wee place, my boyfriend and I ordered a portion of chips and some drinks and both were excellent. The staff are so friendly and polite, and made you feel so welcome. We would definitely recommend.
