The best restaurants in Dublin

22/12/2025: The place is actually great! Their service is good which was a surprise as the service in general in getting very poor around, but they have plenty of young guys all very friendly nice and quick. The timing for the food was actually short price was ok same as the portions it was right! They have lived music and the atmosphere gets very nice! Highly recomend the place

02/12/2025: Delicious food, friendly staff and warm comfortable environment, great place for a bite to eat and a drink.

11/12/2025: Enjoyed a superb evening away a real treat close to the city , we had an amazing room with incredible views, delicious food and quality service throughout , a hidden gem!

10/11/2025: From the moment of booking, EVERYTHING with our Haddington House experience was flawless. Ayesha and Sinead were fabulous with the pre-arrival plans. And going out of their way to make our stay really memorable. When we arrived, Flako, Elena and a lady manager (owner?) were so welcoming, professional, warm and generally - fabulous☺️ Our room was exceptional. With SO many lovely, lovely touches. The quality of the decor, fixtures and fittings is just next level. Not to even mention that view☺️ The food, and especially the breakfast, and the breakfast team, were of the absolute highest quality. Generally our stay in the Haddington House exceeded any possible expectations and delivered an exceptional experience. 10/5

25/11/2025: I was here few times: always as drop in when hectic traffic- to wait for better way- with my grandson. Such warm atmosphere, smiling and friendly staff - I am very happy here when spending few hours.. and.. a beef! .. just melting in the mouth.. quiet music…. What else one would dream when outside windy and traffic jam for hours? BIG THANK YOU!!!

23/11/2025: Good hotel. Very friendly staff (in Ireland, so what do you expect), good room size, quiet, and good location if you are visiting Park West. Quite a distance from the centre of Dublin, although there is a bus that is inexpensive.

07/12/2025: I rarely leave reviews, but this place is a real gem! Best Italian restaurant in Dublin I would say! Discovered it by coincidence even though I am living next door. Visited twice and both were amazing experiences. I tried there steak, pizza, and pasta. All were great, and the tagliatelle with chicken and wild mushroom is highly recommended!

18/10/2025: Very helpful manager. Accommodated us in spite of our delay. Food good. Service excellent

20/09/2025: I saw a Groupon voucher being sold for Fiesta Mexicana Restaurant, but when I tried to find the place, it seems the restaurant is no longer operating. This feels very misleading — offering deals for a business that doesn’t exist anymore is not just disappointing, it’s dishonest. People who bought vouchers are being misled, and that’s a horrible way to treat customers.

16/08/2025: The worst FAKE mexican restaurant that you can find in Dublin. They ARE NOT MEXICANS, and they DONT KNOW AT ALL HOW TO COOK MEXICAN FOOD. The local was totally dirty… the staff were unhygienic. They served the food like third world conditions. I was not even able to finish my meal… HORRIBLE. Tables were sticky… I wont come back here.

08/10/2025: Took take away once, tasted good

25/08/2025: Best chipper in Blanch. The ladies are always so friendly and the food is fantastic quality at great value for money

17/11/2025: Good pub, would recommend for a quiet solo pint. Manager has gone very corporate lately. Like a 2010s DJ he used to be cool now he’s pandering to the masses. Do I like the guy? Yes I do. Am I happy with him at the moment? No I’m not. Am I the best looking guy in Rathgar? Yes I am.

11/10/2025: Reallly nice pub, staff are brilliant and great atmosphere

12/05/2025: Food was absolutely delicious, lovely service too. Great spot for a late night snack

10/05/2025: Fresh and tasty. Great food with warm friendly service. I'll be back

29/11/2025: What a tremendous tavern serving stouts and perfect porters. If Dublin is a lady, Grace's is the corsage on her wrist!

02/11/2025: Nice staff and service but a trad group essentially displaced us by slowly moving into our seats, shoving our belongings down and eventually telling us to move so we had to leave despite being customers for a couple of hours. Beware of this if you’re a younger person, it felt territorial

12/12/2025: Extremely rude and unprofessional service. The staff showed no respect, no willingness to help, and made the entire experience incredibly unpleasant. I was shocked by how poorly customers are treated here. I absolutely do not recommend this place to anyone.”

09/12/2025: We got off a train looking for lunch seen Graingers, looked cosy and got menus I ordered soup and ham and cheese sandwich "no you can not only order Wats on the menu that's all we do,what a grouchy barman, warm soup and brown bread.i will not be back again

24/11/2025: Burgers and chips are top quality at fishbar

05/10/2025: Absolutely disgusting. The fish was cooked in the same fryer as pork sausages, and the fries were the same. It's very old. It's called a fish bar, but they only have one fish dish and about 40 pork dishes. Please be careful.

17/12/2025: Was delighted this restaurant accommodated us for a 9:20 seating when their kitchen closes at 9:30. I've been coming here for years as it's a reliable and convenient place in Dundrum. Ordered the Duck Panang and brown rice. Was really a large portion but probably a little Spicer than normal. We really couldn't finish our portions so we took them to go, added a can of coconut milk the next day and it was the perfrct lunch and even nicer.

16/12/2025: Infrequent customer, but long-running advocate who has always enjoyed Siam in every aspect. On this occasion, I was in Dundrum with guests from overseas who have never eaten Thai food before, so we made an impromptu drop-in to Siam upon my insistence. Although we had no table reservation, the staff were kind enough to accommodate. We started in the beautiful Candlelight Bar for cocktails, before heading down to our table where I asked for our bill to be transferred. Everything was perfect up until this point, as the remainder of my experience was filled with frustration and unease by our waiter's rude demeanour and unattentiveness throughout. A simple question re. the menu prompted visible irritation in our waiter from the outset. He subsequently returned, deciding to completely ignore me and rather focus on my guests who, as it happens, do not speak any English. I flagged this to his attention, and still needed to ask him twice if he could stand nearer me so that I could give our order and avoid talking over my guests in doing so. He reluctantly approached nearer while upholding the very same discourteous attitude from earlier. Once the order was made, he never returned at will despite passing our table on numerous occassions. I needed to call for his attention for extra plates, and once again water for the table. Our food came out quick, and there was an impression of general urgency in the restaurant. Our bill came upon request, however did not include our order from the Candlelight Bar. This was genuinely not noticed by myself as I didn't take the time to fully check line by line. I wanted to pay and leave given the unease of how the evening transpired. After clearing the bill, the staff then approached with a seperate bill from the Bar, with a subtle insinuation that we were trying to pull a fast one. Once this was cleared (and mild embarrassment addressed with my guests) they used the WC and I decided to speak with the manager. She was incredibly respectful and understanding, and in fact spoke to me earlier that evening to inform and advise on the Early Bird menu - allowing us to arrive at our table 5mins early to avail of it. She did not have to do this, which showed real sincerity which I appreciated. She was professional and pleasant, as was the person who served us at the bar. My only gripe was with the person who served our table in the restaurant. We also never received any tea/coffee which was part of the Early Bird package, albeit we never thought to ask. However I think its incumbent upon the staff to ensure the option was there and made clear, particularly if you're paying for it. But again there was urgency in the air which really steals from the ambience and attentiveness I once really appreciated at Siam Dundrum.

20/08/2025: We had food and drinks couldn't have asked for any better great service aswell from Jeremy highly recommend

26/07/2025: Lovely place, quiz night is a lot of fun

05/12/2025: More relaxed than expected, especially during quieter hours. The seating and atmosphere allow you to remain comfortably without rushing. It works well as a casual stop where you can sit back, talk and enjoy a slower moment in the day.

30/11/2025: Magnificent, customised, succulent burgers. Cool tunes, a little quiet for a Friday night at 11pm. That’s Ranelagh Village

16/12/2025: The food is terrible, the beer is bland and expensive.

14/12/2025: Great beer and great live music
