The best restaurants in Dublin

10/07/2026: Delicious coffee. Quite busy mid morning.

07/07/2026: A few years ago, a friend who does not even like coffee and does not live in Dublin told me, “You have to try Brew lab.” Because he was not a coffee person, I did not take the recommendation seriously. I assumed it was just another commercial coffee shop and skipped it. Months later, I happened to be nearby and finally walked in. I still remember that first feeling. The moment I stepped inside, I felt the spirit of the place. There was something special about Brew lab even before I tasted the coffee. I walked to the bar, ordered a coffee, and met Arvind. From that first day, he never made me feel like a customer. He treated me like a friend. We talked, shared our love of coffee, and I enjoyed every second I spent there. That first visit turned into countless more visits, conversations, and memories. From that day until my last in Dublin, Brew lab had a special place in my heart. Arvind and his wife Renata became like family. Sean, David, Ali, Hoi, Arthur, and the whole team gave the place its soul. Brew lab was never just about great coffee. It was about the people, and the feeling of walking through the door knowing you belonged. Leaving Dublin meant leaving many things behind, but saying goodbye to Brew lab was one of the hardest. I came in for coffee and left with friendships and people I will always consider family. Brew lab will always be part of my story in Dublin.

12/07/2026: We ordered 4 pizzas and they were delicious. We'll definitely order again.

03/07/2026: All workers are so lovely and attentive and food is always amazing

14/07/2026: Excellent pizza, very similar to Neapolitan pizza. Fair prices.

13/07/2026: The food and everything was amazing and Darius was very nice with us

25/10/2025: My group and I loved the food, drinks, and the atmosphere. The people who work here are a JOY. We loved the happy vibes. Breakfast was filling and the lattes were great. Employees went above and beyond offering extra things to make our experience the best.

24/10/2025: During my stay in Dublin I had breakfast here twice since I loved the first one so much. Staff is super friendly and the food is really tasty. I had the bagel with salmon twice, I loved it and still think about it.

15/07/2026: Great experience, great hospitality could not recommend more

13/07/2026: Surely was one of the best steaks I have add! Great place

08/07/2026: Got a mixed kebab box , huge portion and good taste

28/06/2026: Tried to give 0 stars.... Almost 2 hours waiting on a delivery, have rang multiple times to be told 10-15 mins, last time I called the staff member hung up on me. Annoyed that I even bothered to order from here..... Avoid the place at all costs

05/05/2026: Amazing atmosphere and amazing staff. Pub was full and they still made an effort to ensure we got a seat. Friendly team who even played happy birthday for my friends dog. One of the few last proper Irish pubs in the heart of the city

02/04/2026: Staff was lovely. A cosy atmosphere when it's not too busy. Honestly a great bar!

13/07/2026: Deluxe Chowder not that great as used to be and more expensive. Sea food tasting platter was quite disappointing. Hopefully just different chef on Monday.

11/07/2026: Stopped here for lunch by chance and what a pleasant surprise! Turuly made our day out in Howth memorable. Best calamari I’v had in Ireland, had mixed seafood linguine for main, gf’s hake was also produced to be excellent! Also, great unfussy and friendly service, recommended!

19/07/2026: An absolutely beautiful environment. The ideal traditional pub experience in Dublin.

17/07/2026: There is no food served here and there are no TV’s. Not sure about music. It’s a place to go to for either a chat with mates or time on your own. Great pint of G here. Class Irish pub.

17/07/2026: Really nice cafe, nice place and delicious food. The Pistachio New york roll is amazing and their baguette is soooo good. Recommend it for sure.

11/07/2026: One of the best bakeries in Dublin.

06/01/2026: a lovely authentic Italian meal. very busy and great staff. Sat in outdoor heated area in December and they'd blankets too. highly recommend

18/12/2025: Just a superb restaurant staffed with fun Italian personnel

04/05/2026: Gorgeous decor but unfortunately we would not recommend it for food. Each dish seemed like a collection of well-made parts that didn’t belong on the same plate. We had the crab cakes, oysters and gnochetti crab and amalfi lemon. Extremely overpriced for dishes that do not come together. Wine was good and oysters were the best part although we have had better.

24/04/2026: Exceptional glamorous place that breathes, tastes and feels like you're in Italy. Can't recommend this place enough if you're looking for a romantic date night or if you're a bunch of colleagues that want to dine really well and enjoy the peaceful and quiet ambience that this place offers. 10/10

15/05/2026: Really nice people, good food and polite service.

06/05/2026: The Coffee Bean is a nice little café in Dublin with a relaxed atmosphere and a good location for a short break while exploring the city. Coffee quality was really solid and the selection of drinks and pastries felt well thought out. The place has a more independent café feeling compared to larger chains, which makes it quite comfortable to sit in for a while. Staff were friendly and the overall atmosphere was calm despite the busy surroundings outside. A good spot if you want a coffee break in the city centre.

04/07/2026: Me and my friend went to get food and someone came inside the building with a Pitbull that started shaking fur everywhere, and I’m allergic to dog hair but also asthmatic so I was pissed off. Everyone in the area slowly started leaving not just us, plus the staff pet the dog and went back to organising the clean glasses… disgusting

29/06/2026: This bar has no respect for locals in the area. Quite often, their security alarm goes off and it’s loud, very loud and worst of all, it’s in the middle of the night where no one can turn it off. The owner has been informed of this issue but nothing has been done. Nothing! Do better, respect the local area.

07/07/2026: At the entrance, the oldest female server showed absolutely no sense of service—she didn't even say hello when we walked in. Seeing that she said nothing, we went ahead and found our own seat. Then she called out "Wait a minute!" while slowly handing us the menu, which was extremely impolite. When it came time to pay, it was still her, and she didn't even bother saying "Welcome back" or look up from her work. What kind of vision does the owner have? What kind of business philosophy allows such people to work there? In contrast, the younger servers were more professional and courteous—so I give them one star. We paid about 40 euros for two dishes, but the food had no character at all—simple and bland. Having been to so many restaurants, this is the only one I wouldn't recommend.

30/06/2026: I got nasi lemak rendang chicken, the sambal is nice but more to sweet, not spicy, food portion is generous, price is average. The location is near to my school.
