The best restaurants in Dublin

30/07/2026: Great place for sandwiches, cake and of course fresh coffee. Friendly staff with plenty of seating.

24/07/2026: The atmosphere is great, food is good and kindly staff.

08/07/2026: Ate from the salad bar and ended up with food poisoning…. On day #2 of my vacation in Ireland. So upset!!

19/06/2026: You can make a salad with various vegetables, add some couscous, falafel, or something else. You can also choose meat dishes. Eat in or take out. The atmosphere is airy, pleasant, and the prices are reasonable.

22/11/2025: Just an update in Nov 25. The food is better than ever. Just had one of the best hot and sour soups, packed with meat and prawns and deliciously spicy. The spice bag had delicious and large chicken pieces with very good chips. Breast of Chicken curry, fried rice and spare ribs all very good. Top class. Very tasty, authentic and consistent Chinese restaurant. Excellent for take away, top marks from me.

09/11/2025: delivery time needs to be set up earlier, we orderd at 4:55 as soon as they open it, all we got was chicken balls chips and 3 in 1 the food didnt arrive until 6:25, when we called at 6:05 the lady said its on the road and wont be long, we then called at 6:18, the lady once again said its on the way, lo and behold it did not arrive until 6:25. Either hire more drivers or open the times earlier

08/11/2025: Never been to Dalkey before. Great place. Make sure you try it.

29/09/2025: A friendly coffee shop with good light food options. A very popular spot in Dalkey, great outdoor seating.

30/06/2026: I bought a drink so I could use the bathroom, but a homeless man barged by me, nearly knocking me over, and went into the toilet before me. Security did not care that he did not buy anything or that he nearly knocked me over. He remained in the bathroom until closing and I was unable to use the bathroom. This is the only reason I even bought a drink so this is unacceptable

25/06/2026: Thursday, 25th June, 8:30am. Servers yawning while taking our order, visually unkempt hair and rudeness. Got our order wrong, then threw his eyes to heaven when corrected. Definitely doesn't keep with Costa term: Costaristas: Costa's term for their passionate, barista-trained employees

02/04/2026: Fantastic food nicest Thai food by far in Dublin

15/02/2026: It's one of our favourite takeaways..

12/07/2026: Fantastic stop for a nice, quite & easy coffee bike ride. Tried the lemon raspberry cake and an iced latte and was blown away by this hidden 💎

03/07/2026: I tried the iced strawberry matcha latte, unfortunately there was barely any matcha flavour coming through, which was a bit disappointing.

09/07/2026: A real gem on the North side of Dublin.Prices are average, staff are great , toilets are spotless , smoking area at back of pub. No Giant screens so you can catch up with friends. The product is excellent. 👍 Going in when Croke Park is open may not be a good idea, however there is a huge area outside Gaffney's to meet up...

19/06/2026: Lovely pint of Guinness but unfortunately like alot of pubs they are charging to much for a pint thanks to Diageo

16/07/2026: Love this place sooo much. The vibe, the taste, the staff, the music, and the colors. Got a sparagus and cheese pack and it was yummy. Made my day! Even for a quick pause, try this place!

15/07/2026: very kind staff and tasty sandwiches xx

05/04/2026: Fast delivery, Food used to be really tasty. but the last couple of times it hasn’t been great, you can tell the food is fresh but there’s no flavour to it, the likes of the curry sauce, spice bags, 3 and 4 in 1’s have little to no flavour. Food needs some work. Would be sad to see this place go down hill over very fixable issues.

05/12/2025: Always consistently good food staff very friendly 1 of the few takeaways where you can eat in also 10/10 best Chinese food in finglas

30/07/2026: Food didn't taste good or fresh everything seemed frozen even the salad bar and desserts were disappointing

22/07/2026: This is our go-to buffet in Dublin City Centre as they have loads of food options - from starters to desserts. They're reasonably priced for good quality food. Staff are so attentive, and so accommodating of our requests.They even personalised their birthday greeting for my son's 7th birthday. Soooo good! Thanks Wing's!❤️

29/06/2026: Love MAO at Stillorgan Village Centre — perfect for Asian food lovers, amazing Asian foods. great vibe.

16/06/2026: Booked a takeaway at 5.15pm yesterday 15th June but 7pm it hadn't arrived. Called Mao & spoke with the manager. He was so rude and continued to tell me to call deliverroo as it wasn't his problem ! Deliveroo customer services close at 6.30pm so no joy there. Called the manager back & asked for a refund. He said no refunds, he continued being rude and so unprofessional. I will never order from Mao again as I got no food, no refund & sent 3 hours of my evening trying to sort it out ! The food is definitely not worth the hassle! Will go to Camille in future !

13/07/2026: I visited the Nando's in Dún Laoghaire yesterday and asked about safe food options for someone with a specific dietary intolerance. The person who handled my inquiry—who I believe was the manager, as he explicitly stated he didn't want anyone dying on "his shift" and seemed to be the person in charge—gave me a shocking response. He told me that if anyone has any type of allergy or intolerance, they shouldn't eat at his restaurant because he "doesn't want anyone dying on his shift." Having a food intolerance or a medical condition is not a choice. People with dietary restrictions already face enough challenges trying to enjoy a meal out with friends without being treated like a dangerous liability. There is a massive difference between professionally explaining cross-contamination policies and being downright rude, hostile, and insensitive. If a restaurant cannot safely accommodate a dietary restriction, that information should at least be delivered with basic human respect, rather than making a customer feel unwelcome and humiliated. Shocking lack of empathy from someone running the floor.

28/06/2026: I had amazing service from waiters who even went and extra mile to take us pictures. The order was fast despite we ordered different menus because we were a group

17/07/2026: If you would like to get 5-star reviews and remove negative reviews from Google, contact me via my profile; my WhatsApp contact details are listed there.

29/05/2026: Simply wonderful. Very good, great welcome, excellent place!

17/05/2026: Myself & my partner visited this cafe on Saturday 16th May, based on our previous experience some weeks ago, when we got a delicious lunch of smoked salmon & cream. cheese with a cup of soup, which was special of the day. Our 2nd visit was far from even satisfactory. The special, which my partner opted for, was described as a goats cheese salad with pomegranate & oranges & nuts. There was little or no goats cheese, one small piece of orange, no nuts and the plate was mostly filled with rocket, priced at €14, very bad value. The waitress had an extremely poor attitude when I complained about it and was totally indifferent to my complaint. I asked for the owner and was told she was away until the following week. Would not be returning to this cafe. Before I left I heard the same waitress tell a couple at 4.05 pm that they were closing in 5 minutes when it states online that closing time is 5.00 pm. This waitress badly needs a lesson in good customer service. When presented with the Bill, there was no offer to reduce it to account for the complaint.

15/05/2026: Had small breakfast. Really tasty and cooked well. Staff lovely. Was busy but got a great table at the window for four of us. No complaints from any of us.
