The best restaurants in Dublin

06/04/2026: Today I had a very disappointing and upsetting experience with the entrance security staff. The way we were treated was extremely rude and unprofessional. Without any valid reason, the security guard behaved in a disrespectful manner and made us feel unwelcome. At one point, he even said he didn’t like us, which felt very inappropriate and unfair. His attitude came across as discriminatory, and it really affected us. My friends and I were excited to spend a good evening at your bar, but this incident completely ruined our mood and what was meant to be a special day for me. I strongly suggest you address this issue with your security staff, as such behavior is unacceptable and can seriously damage your reputation.

06/04/2026: Completely racist security at the gate. Checked the id and did not let us in. We were very well dressed. Very rude behaviour. These guys need to identity humans than black/white. Horrible experience. These guys need to be educated . We literally had to ask are you not allowing us because of our colour ? And he had no answer

18/07/2025: I come here very often and buy two of my favorite bakery items an Almond Croissant and Chocolate Orange Cake

03/07/2025: Nice bakery and pastry shop in Stoneybatter, lovely almond croissants, beautiful sourdough loafs and nice Toastie or pre made rolls. Highly recommend

22/03/2026: My recommendation is not to stay in this hotel or not to support this hotel in any way. It has 2 floors open to the public the rest of the hotel is for the International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS). Such a pity I used to love this hotel and its location for work purposes. Very sad to see it operating in this fashion - taking taxpayers money etc.

15/03/2026: Held event & team were amazing. The room is big without being too big. A lot nicer than standard conference room you get in hotel.

04/12/2025: Really unsure how to say this, but the cheese they are using in the Christmas special, when melted, has the unmistakeable odour of ***. It was overwhelming. I don’t remember this smell being present in last years Christmas sandwich. I suggest that the chefs smell the creation when it’s heated.

01/12/2025: This cafe is a little gem in the heart of Rathmines. I had a beautiful salad there today, it was delicious. I regularly stop off for a coffee when I'm in Rathmines. The staff are so warm, friendly and helpful. 10/10

07/08/2025: Lovely coffee and friendly staff.

20/06/2025: The CoCoBrew van joined us for Day 2 of our wedding celebrations, and they were an absolute hit! From the moment they arrived, they brought such a fun and relaxed energy to the day—and the coffee, cocktails, and baked goods were all next level. After a big day and night of celebrating, guests were raving about how CoCoBrew was the perfect elixir to bring them back to life! Whether it was the coffee, cocktails, or a sweet treat, everything they served was delicious and exactly what we all needed. The service was top notch too—friendly, efficient, and full of smiles. The team were an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout, and they made everything so easy and seamless. CoCoBrew truly added something special to our Day 2, and we’re so glad we had them there. We’ve had so many guests mention how brilliant it was—and we couldn’t agree more. Highly, highly recommend!

22/03/2026: Missing the authenticity. Food was ok, service not too good. Neither service nor cooks are Italian at least did not even greet in Italian. Wines were sold out and they tried to sell us the most expensive. Upon claiming that they somehow „found“ another bottle of the requested. It was also very bright illuminated and not very cozy. Not what we are used to by an Italian restaurant.

22/03/2026: A good Italian restaurant. The first courses are well-made, the pasta cooked al dente, and the sauces aren't too spicy. The restaurant is spacious and the staff are friendly. Recommended.

05/01/2026: Very nice pizza, I will definitely come back to try other options too . Thank you .

29/11/2025: Pizza super tasty and arrived piping hot

27/12/2025: Nice looking pub, but the beer was flat. All three of us left our beers half drunk. Arrived at the door and the bouncer was unfriendly. Asked for a coffee and was told there was no coffee, then the bar staff made a coffee for themselves. Bad experience all round. Do better at the prices you're charging. We actually came to support an off the street bar.

21/12/2025: Pint is cheap and interior is surprisingly spacious. AI signs on the wall are odd. Two urinals in a box room can be a bit awkward.

09/09/2025: Great place for food and drink. Always a lovely atmosphere and the staff are very friendly.

30/08/2025: Came here for a family lunch, and I simply can’t fault a single thing. From the high quality food to the fantastic service, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Although slightly on the pricier side, it is well worth the investment. The cocktails were delicious. Thank you so much to the amazing staff for such a lovely meal. Will certainly be back!

21/09/2025: Unfortunately, the broth wasn't tasty, but I recommend the pork chop.

13/09/2025: I recently had the pleasure of stopping by Smaczne To Go, and I must say it turned out to be a very pleasant discovery. From the moment I walked in, I noticed how neat and orderly the place felt — clean tables, tidy counters, and an inviting display of food that immediately caught my attention. There is something comforting about seeing a spot take pride in its appearance, and Smaczne To Go gives exactly that impression. What truly stands out, though, is the food itself. Everything I tried tasted incredibly fresh, as if it had just come out of a home kitchen. There’s a clear emphasis on quality ingredients, and you can taste it in every bite. The menu lets you enjoy a little piece of Polish cuisine, from hearty flavors to lighter options, all prepared with care. It’s rare to find takeaway food that manages to keep a homemade character, but here they pull it off beautifully. Service-wise, the ladies behind the counter don’t go out of their way to be overly warm or chatty, yet they remain polite, efficient, and professional. They greet you, take your order, and make sure everything is correct without unnecessary fuss. While some people might prefer a bigger smile or extra friendliness, I appreciated that they focus on getting things done smoothly — and in a busy takeaway, that’s often what counts most. Another big plus is how reasonable the prices are. You really feel like you’re getting good value for money considering the freshness and quality of the food. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch, taking something home after work, or just want to enjoy a taste of authentic Polish flavors, it’s an excellent option that won’t put a strain on your budget. Overall, Smaczne To Go is a clean, dependable place with consistently tasty dishes, fair prices, and service that, while not overly warm, is always respectful and decent. If you’re nearby and looking for a satisfying meal that feels both simple and carefully made, this little spot is well worth a visit.

16/03/2026: Lovely wine. Friendly staff. Nice selection of cheese. Nothing more needed.

06/03/2026: Nice but small place. Cheese plate was amazing. 15 Euro service fee if you buy wine and want to drink there.

19/11/2025: The atmosphere and the service was great. The coffee was excellent. The chocolate croissants tasted like it was from yesterday even though I came early in the morning.

09/11/2025: A lovely cafe beautiful food and coffee and a nice outdoor seating area

30/11/2025: This is strictly old man's pub , quiet , comfortable....pint and paper land , front window long hall stuff

19/11/2025: Good old school pub with reasonable prices and great friendly staff.

22/10/2025: We visited Olives Garden with our daughter and our dog. Lovely outdoor seating, family-friendly atmosphere, and a great selection of pastries. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view. Great coffees

13/10/2025: Great coffee and delicious cake! Very busy but that was due to the sunshine...
