The best restaurants in Dublin

04/04/2026: Venue and the comedians were absolutely delightful for the night. My comment really came from this waiter who came up to me and my friend who sat at the back of the venue and told me there's absolutely no talking during the show when I was mumbling to my mate about how funny the comedian on stage was while this table of guys next to us were flat out laughing like hyenas as per the comedian describes. Absolutely perfect line up with some serious questionable hospitality.

01/04/2026: Great fun night. Would recommend.

19/10/2025: Nice coffee but are we really only offering takeaway cups in 2025?

07/10/2025: Easily the best scones in Dublin. The Parlour in Blackrock is a little gem — great coffee, friendly chat, and a perfect spot to sit back and enjoy by the sea. The scones are traditional and done right, served with the all-important Dairygold (one for each side, as it should be) and proper jam. One of my wife and my favourite spots to wind down — simple, classic, unbeatable.

15/11/2025: Great food and service. Nov 2025, seems to have new staff, food is still good but portions not consistent. 4 stars

01/08/2025: Lovely staff last week. Two very friendly blond people male and female on reception Cleaning needed though.

20/07/2025: The documentary on Mairéad Farrell was both sad and poignant. She was a pretty and intelligent girl who ventured down the wrong path, since violence will never resolve any issue. Mairéad should have been united with the late John Hume's ideology, dedicated to peace. If not, she should have moved from Belfast to Dublin. This is an old conflict that I hope will be resolved.

14/03/2026: As expected, food was quick, staff were welcoming.

13/03/2026: We ordered coffee to drink after the meal and it was served to us immediately, cold, weak, and extremely expensive!

23/03/2026: Apologies for not putting more details initially. While the staff were excellent the restaurant itself is badly run down. The table was sticky, the decor was old and worn, there was a smell in the air that was not from the food. The stairs down to the toilet were unkempt and the handrail again sticky. When I reached the ladies. One toilet was blocked with an ungodly smell and there was a queue for the other and when I heard the woman in cubicle call out that there was no “bog” roll, I was out of there. Happy to leave the building as I just felt dirty afterwards. And as for atmosphere, sitting watching a security guard eye up everyone at the door is slightly off putting, nevermind sitting across the stairs to the smelly basement toilets. Staff are great. Clean up the place and invest some money into it!

22/03/2026: Worst food I have ever seen. Had to pay before you get your food. The staff are very unfriendly. Avoid Avoid Avoid

19/03/2026: Best Chinese takeaway without a doubt. Great portion and tasty food always.

16/02/2026: Been ordering from them for years now and I have always had a good experience with them 😃. I’d ignore the previous bad ratings. They have always been very generous with their food and especially their munchy boxes! They’ve got a wide variety of options. Highly recommend.

21/10/2025: I ordered delivery and was pleasantly surprised! The burger was super tasty, juicy, and well-prepared, with quality ingredients. The fries were also excellent, crispy and well-seasoned. You can tell they really care about the flavor and experience, even when ordering delivery! I recommend it.

10/10/2025: The hot dogs are gorgeous. I love it ❤️

27/12/2025: Great coffee, helpful friendly service

30/11/2025: Staff became new and confused, not really polite and it just is frustrating getting the order they make mistakes and expect you to apologise for them

26/07/2025: Great venue for a gig.. Wobblin Jude was the main artist. Exceeded expections.

21/07/2025: We came here for a wedding at the weekend and it was fab! The venue was lovely and a perfect size - felt intimate without being cramped. Food was tasty and staff were more than helpful in making last minute swaps for me. Alcohol free selection on the bar was great as well, the raspberry beer was so good!

15/01/2026: Just had an excellent lunch here, chicken kiev and salads. Staff were friendly too.

19/10/2025: Lovely staff. great atmosphere helpful and reliable and respectful to all customers 🙏 good breakfast Fresh cakes 🤤 Clean eating space Lovely place for a coffee a chat and nice food and cakes

15/10/2025: Lovely selection of fresh cream cakes at good prices

09/01/2026: Very nice service, quick and done very well, charming too. If you’re looking for a quieter place with enough room to not have your shoulder touching your neighboring table, it’s a nice place! Edwin was such a lovely server too, very friendly and attentive.

24/11/2025: Great quality, great taste and absolutly fantastic service.

29/11/2025: One of the best kebabs I’ve ever had. It will definitely become a habit. Chips with the kebab were great too.

16/11/2025: The food is delicious and the plate is full.
