The best restaurants in Dublin

04/08/2025: Delicious ramens, relaxed and kind service. The decorations give a bit of a Japanese atmosphere. Excellent place, would recommend them from the bottom of my heart! Thank you very much! ♥️

27/07/2025: Sushi was good. However, Ramen did not taste nice, broth had no flavour, beef was not fresh. The waitress said she will tell the chef but no commercial gesture, nothing was done. Edit (Reply to owner): I did finish the broth as I hate wasting food and I was very hungry. However, please bear in mind the beef tasted almost rotten. No attempt was made by the staff to fix the issue. We will not be back. Your reply is unprofessional given the experience we had.

14/06/2025: This used to be a great restaurant. Sadly, it’s now closed. A new place with different owners has taken over the location—it's called Koi Palace.

28/05/2025: Was there for dinner with my son @7pm on a Saturday. Lovely cute place with nice decor. The portions were sizeable and delicious. The staff were both attentive & professional. I would definitely recommend 👌

24/09/2025: Costa Coffee in Blanchardstown Centre is a cozy and welcoming spot to recharge during a shopping trip or catch up with friends. With its warm atmosphere, friendly staff and consistently good coffee, it’s a reliable go to for everything from a quick espresso to a leisurely latte. The seating is comfortable and there’s usually a nice buzz of conversation and relaxation. Whether you're grabbing a drink to go or settling in with a book, Costa here offers a pleasant break in the heart of the bustling centre.

21/09/2025: Great staff serving Costa good selection coffees.

28/10/2025: Great coffee stop with safe parking for bicycles, sitting indoor and outdoor, amazing selection of cakes and other sweets, great coffee. Very friendly and efficient staff👍

13/10/2025: Absolutely lovely. The food is delicious and the coffee is amazing.

28/09/2025: The food here is very good. We tried three dishes, and all three were excellent! Especially the one that was quite spicy! The service is also excellent!

26/09/2025: this is authentic szechuan food, they use great spice levels. super tasty and would return. the beef dumpling with crispy shallot and teriyaki was awesome. loved the crispy chili chicken too (a favorite we order in NY too). and the spice bag was a delight (yes I know it is not authentic but had to try it)

26/09/2025: Lovely little cafe with delicious coffee and sandwiches. Great value lunch meal with a really good variety of choices for a sandwiches. Highly recommend it

11/08/2025: Good pastries and coffee. Pleasant atmosphere and good service. Reasonable prices, something not very common in Dublin. I recommend it.

18/10/2025: The coffee and tea are excellent. The breakfast menu portions are ample and filling.

17/09/2025: We’ve been working with Kennedy’s Clontarf store for years, and they remain one of our most reliable, professional, and friendliest suppliers for many of our catering needs. Communication with the team is always easy, which makes a huge difference during busy times. They’re incredibly flexible with our requests. The food is consistently delicious and always enjoyed by both our staff and office visitors. A big shoutout to the entire Kennedy’s Clontarf team!

18/07/2025: Very friendly service, the food was ready very quickly. The spice bag (comes with a drink) was massive, hot, and super tasty. We will definitely be coming back!

16/06/2025: Esto fue una comida para llevar un sábado por la noche. Carne y frijol negro / arroz estaba bien. Los fideos que acompañan al Pollo Szechuan estaban bien. El pollo en este último estaba seco como un hueso, claramente sobrecocinado y se dejó reposar durante horas - estaba bordeando lo no comestible. Llamé al restaurante, saben mi dirección. Hubiera esperado una llamada y/o una disculpa. Cero seguimiento. No lo suficiente.

13/12/2025: The hot latte was really good 🩷^_^ The curry was delicious and served piping hot. I would definitely go back. Very nice place 🩷

13/12/2025: Ordered food online at 6:20pm and received a confirmation stating it would be ready in 20 minutes. Arrived to collect at 6:50pm and was left standing there for another 10 minutes with no update. After repeatedly asking about the order, I was finally asked “what was your name again?” and then told they couldn’t find the order and that it must have been missed. At that point it was nearly 50 minutes after ordering. No apology, no explanation, and no gesture of goodwill — just asked if I wanted to wait again while they cooked it from scratch. Very poor service and complete lack of customer care. Won’t be returning

19/12/2025: It was a good place, planned last moment. It is little difficult to locate unless you are close by. Mixed feedback, had good and bad experience. I would really pick good one, because good people efforts should be appreciated. But would like to share my overall experience. Quiet small place and lesser tables, lady at the reception was rude while we asked her for table and we really wanted to leave the place immediately it felt racist behavior not a ideal welcome for customer in restaurant. We planned to stay, then we had a table assigned and waiter named James. He was amazing, just turned out experience to good with his warmth and friendly nature. I would have really given one star for the initial behavior but for James I would really appreciate his work and kindness. So is my rating 4. By the way pizza was good, we liked it very much. Limited menu! Thank you!

15/12/2025: Best pizza place for date night, never had a pizza this good in ages and staff were the nicest!

12/11/2025: Right next to the prestigious Trinity University is this unassuming café. Filled with students, researchers, the professor from the nearby university, you get the idea. So over the course of a cappuccino you can learn about the latest in space research or mathematics. All in the worst Stephen Hawking spirit. I had a ristretto and one was. Panini with cheese & ham. Perfetto! The coffee was as perfect as it can be, I have only had a sandwich as good in one place, namely café Sosta in Stockholm! Ambient jazz tones blared from the speakers, the rain was falling outside…

10/11/2025: For Dublin, the prices are fair (€5.90 for a cappuccino and muffin)

26/10/2025: Not recommended, friendly welcome upon arrival, food not very special. The staff got grumpy because you didn't leave enough of a tip. Strange turn of events at the end of the evening.

22/10/2025: A very nice experience… Friendly service, good food (Burger was delicious though they do it well done)!

30/11/2025: Great Little Local Bakery - my go to for Sourdough Bread & sweet treats

01/11/2025: Great bread, rolls and doughnuts. Everything really!

09/10/2025: Great Private Gated Apartment Community. Very quite & very well cared for. Ideal location, close to all public transportation.

22/12/2025: If you’re looking for a nice breakfast spot close to the city centre, this place is worth considering. Having a reservation is definitely helpful, especially on busy days. I went there specifically to try the pistachio pancake that I had seen in Google reviews, but unfortunately I was told it is no longer available, which was a bit disappointing. My only criticism is that although the seating area is indoors, it felt quite cold due to a constant draft. The kitchen door and the exit door were often left open, and I ended up feeling cold throughout our visit I even had to keep my coat on. Paying a bit more attention to this would really improve the overall experience.

19/12/2025: Great spot for a brew and although the food isn't cheap, it is quite good!
