The best restaurants in Dublin

09/10/2025: The food was great and the staff were nice but there was a bad smell like from the sewer It made it hard to enjoy the meal this smell was there since last time I visit It made it hard to enjoy the meal

23/09/2025: Great pizza, great chicken, great time had

07/02/2026: The restaurant offers a buffet option, but it's not actually a buffet. It's a combination of six different dishes served together, and you can only take one. I don't know why it's called a buffet, but it's still a good deal.

04/02/2026: I recently visited Pasha on Dorset Street and was quite disappointed. While the food quality was decent, the overall experience was not worth the price. The meals are quite expensive, and the service was slow, which made the visit less enjoyable. Overall, I’d say it’s not the best value for money.

01/10/2025: Very cool guys selling nice coffee. Enjoy!

22/09/2025: The Cosy Bean is a great local coffee shop. The pastries are delicious and the staff are always friendly, especially Emily.

21/01/2026: The lassi was thick and cold, and the chicken starter arrived charred from the flame, juicy and spiced just right. It was a good start. Not a small portion. Best shared. ​Then came palak paneer main course. It was perfect. The spinach was vibrant and smooth, the paneer firm but yielding. There is no better way to eat in Rathmines when the night is cold and the rain is steady. It is honest food, cooked with care. Five stars are not enough, but they are all I can give. ​ ​If you are looking for authentic flavor in Dublin, look no further. I started with a refreshing lassi and the chicken starter, which was seasoned to perfection and incredibly tender. ​The highlight, however, was the deliciously perfect palak paneer main course with garlic naan. The texture was spot on and the balance of spices was masterfully handled. It’s rare to find a dish this consistent and satisfying. Great service, warm atmosphere, and easily the best meal I've had in a long time. Highly recommended! And I have a take away box for tomorrow for lunch or dinner.

25/12/2025: This is an absolute gem and amazing for weekend breakfast. I tried their indori poha and aalo paratha which was delicious. This was the best poha I had in ireland. I will also try their egg pav and misal pav the next time. The service was amazing and quick. Taste was incredible and must visit place for an authentic indian food.

06/11/2025: Had takeaway. The seating area seemed nice and clean, but wasn't in long enough to get a good feel for it. The food was good, but the order got messed up and we one dish was lost. Double checking the bag would've been a good idea.

22/10/2025: Lovely food plenty of it. Good service too.

08/01/2026: Nice pub with nice live music and tasty drinks.

07/01/2026: Last time I was here was 25 years ago. Not changed much. In a good way. Great music enjoyed it will be back but in a shorter time frame 😀

01/01/2026: Great expresso coffee. Appreciated the fairness of the price of a single shot expresso. Its was perfect served in a porcelan cup and very good quality. The croissants where very good, fresh and crunchy. The ambiance is relaxed and cosy and enjoyed the decor with paintings on the wall and a map of the Suppliers in an outstanding frame. It has our reccomendation. Well done to the owners and Er Buchetto team.

01/01/2026: I used to go here regularly after work or sometimes with my friend on a Saturday afternoon when I lived nearby. I always had the toasted panino with roasted aubergine, roasted pepper, melted mozzarella and pesto, my dream food. If I had only one meal in life I think I’d seriously consider this. The coffee was top class. I’m the hardest person to please when it comes to coffee so this is saying something. The lady who owns the caffe I remember was such a hard working lady, so passionate and down to earth. I’m going to make the trip this week to pop in. I can’t wait. Great to see small local cafe’s come out tops 👍

13/01/2026: Overall it was OK, the food was good. The place is really cramped and even if it is not busy they still put you on tables one next to each other. The tables are so small that you barely fit drinks on them and maybe one course. The chairs are really uncomfortable and there is no space at all for coats, bags, nothing. The staff was friendly and the service quite quick.

11/01/2026: Staff was very friendly and helpful, and extremely quick. It is quite big, although from outside it doesn’t look like. Great variety of choices not only ramen.

24/12/2025: The staff that working in are noisy, feel like you are in Turkish bazaar, better on takeaway than sitting in

05/11/2025: The newly refurbished Costa is very nice. Staff are great too. Its now also a Drive-Thru. Can be a tad chilly inside, possibly due to the drive thru open Hatch.

25/01/2026: Best sushi I've had in the city, we're very lucky to have lived within walking distance for years so we've visited countless times. Service is always incredibly quick, with friendly and welcoming staff. Decor and atmosphere are wonderful, it's just a fantastic place to eat. To top it all off, it's actually cheaper than similar Japanese restaurants. Grab a Tiger beer, a spicy tuna roll, and enjoy a wonderful evening my friends

19/01/2026: Best California roll I’ve ever had

17/06/2025: Just had drinks … nice Guinness

19/08/2025: Went to Grumps for the first time, guided by Google Maps, but turns out the opening hours were completely wrong. Why would a business not update that info themselves, instead of waiting for a customer (or in this case, a wannabe customer) to do it for them?

03/07/2025: Lovely tea and ham and cheese toasties

12/10/2025: No matter who you are or where your from, you will always be welcomed, by both staff and patrons, you would enjoy the friendly atmosphere, and the patrons are not shy, they love having the crack,( laugh), and will get up and sing and dance, You wouldn't be left sitting on your own, for their Irish nature would welcome you into their company, and the stories they could tell you about their lives, they would have you in stitches laughing, but they would respect it if you just wanted to sit by yourself to have a quiet drink, they wouldn't take offence, they would just have their Irish friendly nature The owner and bar staff are the same, friendly welcoming, and treat everyone the same, whether your a local or visitor, many years ago I was a landlady of a bar, and had lots of staff, although some where good, but nothing compared to the staff they're, everyone if them are professional, friendly, and courteous, this is why the patrons respect them all, and it believe because of the staff, the pub is still in the area, where there were lots of pubs on that street and this is the only one that still remains open, I've seen people coming in that where either holiday makers or new to the area, that would pop in, intended just to have one drink to see what it was like, and they would end up staying for the night, they had that much fun, because of the staff and patrons down to earth personalities A good idea to try ring to find out what night they have entertainment, as you will certainly enjoy the atmosphere

01/10/2025: Lovely warm welcome in a proper old Dublin pub

24/01/2026: I LOVE WOWBURGER Regards, Francine

15/01/2026: The gentleman who takes the order is super nice I recommend, the food is excellent

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!
