The best restaurants in Dublin

19/09/2025: I had a great experience at this bubble tea shop Ea-Tea! The staff were really nice and very accommodating, always ready with recommendations. I was pleasantly surprised by their dim sum menu — delicious, fresh, and such a good complement to the drinks. Everything is fairly priced, which is quite unusual in Dublin these days where prices are generally high. Great value for money and definitely worth a visit! 💯❤️

09/09/2025: I love Taro tea but not many Tea places does it that taste good. This is one of the few! I usually go to my "reliable bubble tea shop" but decided to try this one for a change and it didn't disappoint. I've stopped there with my two little kids and as it was lunch time we got some chichen pop corn and chips as well with our Taro bubble teas. Chicken is super delicious! What a treat and surprise. We liked so much we got more to take home as the ration is good for one person and we are three so we kinda fought a bit over that chicken 😂 There are few tables inside for a quick stop and snack and it's just on front of Parnell Luas stop. Staff are also welcoming and friendly. My son says the man in the counter looks like one of the guys in Demon K-pop Hunter but I'm not sure about that or who 😅 He also says he wants to come back again. And we will!

05/02/2026: Good food with cheap prices mi

17/01/2026: Ordered online, simply put , ABYSMAL. Overpriced, under seasoned, bad aftertaste. In short if your looking to waste your money and run the risk of food poisoning this is for you. Otherwise stay clear.

29/11/2025: Could not of had a better experience. I came in for gait analysis and new trainers. The owner was so friendly and knowledgeable, he was able to size up my feet by just looking. He recommended an excellent pair of runners which already make running feel alot more stable and comfortable along with some great general running advice. Could not recommend enough I will be back.

12/10/2025: Top class service, Ash has a wealth of experience and his advice and support has made a huge difference to my running and recovery, amazing selection of products. Recommend 100%

04/09/2025: Delicious and strong coffee. The sandwiches are a delight!

09/08/2025: Really nice little coffee/sandwich place. Nice outdoor seating. The coffee is amazing. The staff are very friendly and nice.

18/12/2025: Were there on a Sunday night. Guy behind the bar was very pushy for us to order two wing deals when we only wanted one to start with. We overheard him instruct the kitchen staff to make our buffalo wing portion extra, extra spicy, and that we had asked for that - we hadn't - and called us names to the kitchen staff that I won't repeat here. He clearly didn't realise we could hear him, he did seem a bit drunk. I regularly eat very hot sauces with Carolina Reaper or ghost chilli, but the portion we got was extremely hot and borderline inedible. Not blaming the kitchen staff at all, they seemed like they didn't want to make the dish so spicy, but the bar man pushed them to do it. When we asked him if he had ordered them extra hot for us he made up some BS story about other customers complaining that they used to be too mild, and that's why they are now hotter, etc. Very disrespectful and hostile way to treat your customers. None of us will ever be back.

30/11/2025: Lovely vibe! Not much of loud music soo if you want to get together with friends and have conversations over a pint, definitely the place!

03/11/2025: Very good service and great food quality! Recommend 🫶

29/10/2025: Really great variety of food, great soups and great coffee also. This is a very nice atmosphere here and Staff are very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

13/03/2026: Had late night -after bar- curry and loved that they were open late

23/02/2026: SUCH GOOD FOOD I CAN GOON TO IT 🤤🤤🤤🤤

06/02/2026: Grand spot altogether. Staff were sound and on the ball, food was savage with good portions, and everything ran smooth. Toilets spotless, seating comfortable, and the atmosphere was great once it got going.

18/11/2025: Grand spot, was at niece's 21s Plenty of seating.. lighting was poor, a lot of missing bulbs in area. . Toilets clean, place was cold, as door for smoking area. Food service was very good, good selection of food on platters. Also bar staff good and friendly, just a better selection of non alcoholic beverages would have been good.... Overall good spot... Second time been at this location. Downstairs before and good food, service ect .... Well done guys. Just parking could be looked at... As we were coming from outside area .. n required car ect .

01/03/2026: A humble chinese restaurant but a real gem in south dublin. If u r looking for a venue like i was for a family of 10 people, trying to impress ur in-laws and your young adult children in a Chinese restaurant, you know you got it right when the draft beer was fresh, wine delicious and the food menu has everyone s favourite and the service speedy. Here's what I ordered and all of them delicious: 1.Signature crispy roast duck 2.Crispy chilly chicken with salt and pepper 3.King prawns with corn and salt egg york 4.Seabass sweet and sour 5.razor fish with minced garlic 6. Twice cooked pork belly 7. Sizzling Beef with black bean sauce 9. Stir fried green veg 10. Stir fried aubergine and long beans 11. Chinese pork dumplings To add to our delight, the owner offered a huge complimentary fruit platter for our birthday occasion.

24/02/2026: This is a fantastic Chinese restaurant. I love seafood and meat, and I can find everything I like here. Steamed fish, boiled fish, ginger and scallion lobster, ginger and scallion shrimp, spicy stir-fried razor clams, and scallion-oil snail slices are all my favorites. The stir-fried lamb, cumin beef, Sichuan-style chicken, and sliced ​​beef and tripe in chili sauce are also excellent. There's a large parking lot downstairs, which is super convenient. Eating Chinese food here is definitely the right choice. It's also a great dining spot between Dublin and Powerscourt.

01/03/2026: Usually have a lovely time here. Last night was disappointing. One table where loud and had too much to drink and been very vulgar (can't blame the restaurant for this? We where asked to give back our table before we where offered desserts, this was 45 mins in ton out arrival Our bill came and have the items where not charged for. When we explained and asked for correct bill there was additional drinks and food added. After 20 mins bill was resolved. Personally I feel the restaurant was over booked and staff could not function . Definitely won't be going back here on a Saturday night gor a while

28/02/2026: This place has really gone downhill with new ownership. It used to be such a gorgeous local spot, now the atmosphere is cold and contentious with ill mannered staff. Avoid.

19/11/2025: Found this pub really great. Superb staff and staff apart from one member of staff. A younger blonde woman who was quite unhappy and rude a couple of times while serving me. Overall well worth a visit

26/09/2025: Great chipper , I drive out of my way to get their chip's,yummy.and the staff are lovely to deal with .

18/10/2025: Delicious fresh coffee and very delightful service!

10/06/2025: I’ve no idea why there isn’t reviews calling out the extortionate prices of a coffee from Mocha Beans?! I’m a regular Pearse commuter and sometimes give in to a coffee from here knowing… a small cappuccino with almond milk costs €5.20. That’s insane. Alt/ non dairy milk is either cheaper or soya milk is at least free in most coffee shops (albeit soya milk is pure gick). They charge 60c extra for all non-dairy milk. Base price for their smallest cappuccino is €4.60 which is still mad but base price in Dublin unfortunately. Think about it- 60c for coffee with non-dairy milk. Say a carton of non dairy milk would cover 15 coffees. That would round up the cost of one of their cartons of almond/ soya/ oat/ coconut milk to €9, A carton of these mills costs just over €3 and you can get cheaper with generic brands (which I’m sure mocha beans do). The mark up just for having non- dairy is robbery. I dunno if they count on people ignoring price as people on platform are often tired after a days work or tired first thing in morning after train but it’s crazy. The coffee is decent but not near other known vendors who get away with a coffee for over a fiver. Avoid avoid avoid no matter how much your commuter caffeine craving tells you otherwise

11/01/2026: Great little gem out the back entrance of a wonderfully chaotic second hand bookshop. The cakes were delicious and the staff helped create a friendly atmosphere. Note: it’s better to enter through the bookshop over the strange back alley route.

23/12/2025: A truly special, tucked-away cafe with gorgeous cakes and scones and other treats baked on site. Food portions are large, hospitality is warm and generous, and it's a peaceful spot to spend an afternoon. Abundant courtyard seating (with heaters) for the warmly dressed (my first visit was in December). Highly recommended for people who want a Dublin oasis within an easy walk of Grafton/St. Stephen's/etc. Also of note: While the cafe has been in business for a couple of decades, it changed hands this year and the new owner, Julio, was on site, very warmly welcoming, and seems to have a happy staff working for him. UPDATE: Just noting after several more visits that my first impression has only cemented into a conviction that this is a world-class cafe and people who take the time to seek it out will leave feeling like the luckiest and best-liked customers who have ever visited.

18/03/2026: Visited, 13 of us, 2013, was terrific. The Clarence location allowed us to walk to all of Dublin's sights. No cars on bridge over River Liffey out photo point. Less chaotic and more minstrels , jigs, on cobblestone streets -The Porterhouse, the best part of Temple Bar.
