The best restaurants in Dublin

09/12/2025: Wonderful! My phone battery was dead and they helped me, they saved me actually, because it's difficult for a Brazilian without a cell phone here at the beginning. Thank you so much. The chicken and cheese sandwich was delicious ❤️

10/11/2025: Insomnia is one of Ireland’s most recognisable coffee chains, and for good reason. Whether you’re in Dublin, Cork, or Galway, you’ll likely find one nearby serving consistently good coffee and a friendly atmosphere. Their espresso-based drinks—especially flat whites and cappuccinos—are smooth, rich, and well-balanced, often matching or surpassing what you’d get from smaller independents. The hot chocolate and seasonal drinks (like the winter spiced latte) are a treat, especially on chilly Irish days.

28/02/2026: Really good wood fired pizza. It was so refreshing because so many pizza places get hyped and you get there in the food is awful. This was really authentic and delicious. I was chatting with a stranger while I was waiting and she recommended the pistachio dessert and it was great.

29/11/2025: Recently at the Ballsbridge branch, delivery option is regularly not available. Ordered Collection, went down for allotted time, mayhem inside. Staff answering the phone and checking orders appeared new, slow and flustered, had to stand around for 10 mins before I accosted a worker and then 1 of 2 ordered pizza’s was retrieved from a heating bag. Had to wait another 5 mins until someone bothered looking for pizza 2. Various people in the restaurant in the same boat as me, frustration was rife. Suffice to say pizza was not hot, was saggy and greasy once home. With the cost of pizza’s, please do better. Expensive treat tarnished by poor service today

30/12/2025: Best burger place in town. Burgers were made with juicy and tender meat.

30/12/2025: A place that doesn't demand attention, and perhaps that's why it deserves it all. You come here for a proper smash burger, probably the best in Dublin—even if no one will ever say it out loud. The sandwiches are opulent and uncompromising: juicy meat, perfect crust, generously oozing cheese. Burgers that get your hands dirty and leave a lasting impression. The fries, thin and crispy, are impeccable for those who love this style. They don't use pork, but what they do with beef and poultry is top-notch. There's real substance, not just aesthetics. Unlike other city chains that invest heavily in branding, storytelling, and stage presence, here the focus is entirely on the dish. And it's a choice that pays off, for those who recognize quality. The place has a rugged and authentic soul, but there's a practical aspect that deserves attention: the smell of fried food is very persistent and risks ruining the experience. An improvement on this front would help further enhance an already excellent gastronomic offering. I keep returning without hesitation: for me, it remains the best burger in Dublin, even if few are ready to acknowledge that. 🍔

23/11/2025: Great local, Irish music and a cracking pint

08/04/2026: Absolutely horrendous service experience. One out of my room I asked the gormless receptionist if they could check the room for my AirPods. It took him 10 minutes of clicking through his computer just to then ask me “what room I was staying in”. He got someone to check the room for me, where I was then assured that they had “searched everywhere” and my AirPods weren’t there. I then got a call at the airport two hours later to say that actually, they hadn’t looked and my AirPods were there however I would now have to pay a €15 delivery fee. I paid this delivery fee and was told the AirPods would be sent the next day and that I would be provided with the tracking number. Since I’ve paid it’s been radio silence, despite two chases. I’ve been to Dublin many times but I can quite confidently say that I will never stay at this hotel again, and you shouldn’t either if you want to deal with competent individuals rather than this group of clowns.

02/04/2026: The rooms are good and the best things about is location is that it's across the street from Connolly train station. The area is sort of far from the main area of central Dublin and the surrounding sidewalks are full of trash and vomit. The hotel itself was great but would not stay again due to the location

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

06/02/2026: The BBQ rib steak burger was absolutely sumptuous

03/02/2026: Got this chipper last couple weeks and can see why it’s high rated quality ingredients not many places you feel fresh after eating a big dirty kebab and off the wall tray but here ya do haha great staff aswell

23/12/2025: Hi y'all Small little place, hard to get parking, expensive... But...nice...ish

08/12/2025: Used to be regular in killester supervalu. This one pales in comparison. But only option in walkable distance.

24/03/2026: We ordered spicy pork that was brought in a pan that needed to cook on a small stove. The meat was raw and surrounded bij onions and leak and covered in a very large amount of Korean spicy red paste (Gochujang). I’m a big fan of this condiment but it was so much that after cooking the meal it tasted as a box of Gochujang with some meat and veggies in it. It was bad. And it costed €40. When I complained to the staff he reacted that he’ll tell the cook. That’s it. The other dishes were ok-ish. (I have lived in Korea, so have an idea what good food should taste like). Not recommended.

22/03/2026: The Chinese staff are a bit abrupt

15/10/2025: Today I ordered a flat white (I had my own cup) and 2 chocolate covered dates and asked to pay 7.80 EUR, did not give attention and paid. Flat white costs 4.20 (with your own cup 4.00), each date costs 1.50. I then saw there is a coffee and cake afternoon deal (2pm-4pm) for 5 EUR. I kindly asked barista if dates were not included in the deal. She said they are included. It did not make sense and asked if she can explain me the breakdown of my bill: she said the cake deal price has gone up to 6.50 EUR today and one of the dates was included in the deal on my bill. I was negatively surprised with the price increase but did not comment on it. I then said but the dates are cheaper outside of the deal and I dont get why we are including one of them as a part of deal if it does not make total lower. If we take all products individually the total comes to 7 EUR, I dont get why I should pay more because they applied the deal where they should not. Barista kindly said she cannot change the rules. To be fair I am not blaming the barista as she was kind and she even offered some pastries later on to customers (including me) as everyone asked about price increase on afternoon deal. The whole thing just does not make sense.

09/10/2025: Great coffee and a nice place to sit outside and people watch!

18/08/2025: Good brekkie. Drinks should arrive a bit quicker but apart from that lovely job. Don't sit in the back on a hot day.

10/06/2025: Always lovely food. Great staff very friendly..clean premises

15/03/2026: Service staff were really lovely. But that's it, I had food from Coeliac friendly menu which is great to have that option, but both my starter and my sweet and sour chicken weren't good at all. I won't be back. Very expensive for what it is. Disappointed

15/03/2026: Exceptionaly mediocre food for a high price.

03/03/2026: Very nice place. But at the tll to take payments there was a girl serving me, quite rude and I suppose she would have preferred to be somewhere else but not there. Darling, maybe you should change job. People spend 4€for a coffe, at least they expect someone one nice to serve them. It happens today morning.

27/02/2026: Best burger we ever had 👌🏼And we loved our Austrian waitress 😊

23/03/2026: Spacious and inexpensive An English chain known for its affordable drinks and food. All in a large, historic establishment. They even have their own app for ordering and paying without leaving your table. Their prices make them very popular. The service is good and the menu is extensive, suitable for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's good.

22/03/2026: The place is good, a lot of places to seat in, bar in the first and ground floor, staff friendly, very busy so takes time to get your drink and food. But all good.

07/10/2025: Sorry but sandwiches are not worth the price. Crazy money to be paying over €10 for a sandwich to go and is a reflection of Dublin and wrip off prices. I must be honest and say that the sandwiches are only ok. Very good flat white I will say and staff are very sound but price for a sandwich is crazy!

07/08/2025: Excellent cafe. Great coffee, quality food and quick and friendly service. The coffee is so good, I'll be late to work to make sure I get it
