The best restaurants in Dublin

16/06/2024: Delicious picanha, friendly and polite staff, pleasant atmosphere.

03/05/2024: Every time I feel like eating feijoada, I go to Tia Maria, a delicious and well served feijoada.

30/09/2024: Uped the prices on boxs, and no can, Menu said there was, false advertisement.

09/07/2024: Great chips but your man behind the counter is a grump. Seemingly annoyed by people ordering chips in a chipper.....his chipper

29/07/2024: Don't know from where the positive ratings do come from!? It took almost 15min before someone came to take my order. I had a drink, starter and main course which came after another 40min... except the drink which I had to remind them and then was brought after I was half through my meal. The chicken Masala was ok but not really tasty. The Nan bread was dry and more like a carton. The waitress was not unpolite but very distant w/o a smile in her face (perhaps she had a bad day!?). Also the ambience of the restaurant was not really comfortable. At least it was long ago since I've been at such disappointing restaurant. The only thing on the positive side was the prices which are low compared to Dublin level.

05/02/2024: First time here . Had coffee and scones. Delicious 😋 the food look very tasty and will return for bigger bits

07/01/2024: The food, coffee and service is good, the seating is nicely spaced out making it a nice place to be.

17/11/2024: Mugs Cafe in Dalkey is a cozy and inviting spot located at 61A Castle Street, Dalkey, Co. Dublin. Known for its expertly brewed coffee, warm ambiance, and welcoming staff, it’s a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Their chai latte comes highly recommended, and they offer a variety of pastries and snacks to complement their beverages  . The cafe operates from early mornings (6:30 AM most weekdays) to evenings, making it a convenient stop for breakfast, brunch, or a casual coffee break. While praised for its atmosphere and community feel, some reviewers have noted minor issues, such as prices not always being displayed  . Mugs Cafe accepts cash payments only and provides both indoor seating and an outdoor option across the street. If you’re in Dalkey, it’s a lovely place to experience a mix of great coffee and local charm  .

05/11/2024: Lovely coffee and handy outside seating when you're on the bike. A tad pricy though at nearly €9 for 2 coffees and €3.50 for a small scone.

29/10/2024: Poor enough food. It arrived lukewarm and they forgot one of the extras. Very annoying, very below average experience.

25/10/2024: Food is delicious and great value. Ready to collect within 10 mins. Shredded chicken so tasty

02/11/2024: Overpriced and staff quite aloof. It was obvious they were not happy I only got main course. Charged 6.95 for a bottle of heineken. Rip off. Food was okay, not amazing.

29/10/2024: Si estás en Dublín y no has llegado a Bel Cibo, te lo estás perdiendo, ¡así que lo estás! El lugar tiene una gran vibra, justo en el corazón de Smithfield. ¿La pizza? ¡Jaysus, es salvaje! Corteza fina, coberturas adecuadas, y cocinado a la perfección. El personal sonaba como una libra, siempre dispuesto a charlar. Ya sea que estés tras un bocado rápido o una larga charla sobre café, este lugar es el negocio. ¡Baja ahí, no te arrepentirás!

16/11/2024: The best off licences in Dublin.

06/08/2024: Amazing hotel perfectly located. Delicious breakfast and perfect from check in to check out . Staff are so polite and helpful. We will be back next year. Thanks a million Temple bar inn. Ignore the negative comments, not sure how you can make it any better.

25/09/2024: Accidentally eating at Oscar’s Cafe provided me with one of the best breakfasts I had on our trip to Ireland. I was doing the driving, so I asked my sweetheart and trusty navigator to find us a bakery so we could grab a coffee to go and a pastry for the road. I was hoping to find something before we got into Dublin, and the driving got “tricky” since I’m from the states. She assured me it was a doughnut place on the outskirts of Dublin and was only 20 minutes away. Well, in all its wisdom, Apple Maps routed us to the warehouse for a doughnut shop. Luckily Oscar’s was there too! We may not have been the usual clients at this cafe, serving what I would estimate to be 99% locals, but the staff was friendly, and helpful. The portions were generous, the food was good, and that latte might have saved my life. 10/10 Oscar’s, but I can only leave 5 stars. Thank you!

16/07/2024: I had training there so had lunch and coffee break here for many days. The service is very good especially the boss I think so he is, warmly welcome hospitality with nice and gentle attitude makes me feel so welcomed. I love the plaint omelette a lot. The dear sister who made omelette for me every time, tasty and delicious.

08/11/2024: I tried the new thai beef salad and it was amazing!! Thanks guys for the excellent service

01/11/2024: Noodles tasteless and dry as the desert. Springroll unnecessarily expensive, tasteless and insanely oily. Definitely not worth it.

29/07/2024: The worst dining experience I have ever had!!! I wouldn't give anywhere a bad review but this was shocking. Firstly me and my wife were greeted with as much as a grunt and a "Sit wherever we are empty anyway" attitude. We were sat at a table where menus were basically thrown at us. The layout of the menu is awful the mezze boards were written all over the place, when my wife tried to order the Syrian platter the owner repeated Beirut, she pointed at the Syrian on the menu and he repeated yes its the Beirut, which of course when it came it was not what we wanted on the platter at all, and at a price of €25 is too much to be wrong. We ordered the rest of our meal which was promptly rushed out of my wife as if he had better things to be doing. All the time we were there we were never asked for drinks so I had to ask as he had no interest, and on the menu it said it came with ice and lemon, but it arrived with neither. Our mains arrived and my Wifes tasted like the yoghurt sauce had turned, and there were no pomegrante seeds as stated on the menu. Mine was rock solid, molten hot (Microwaved) and contained plastic containers for sauce that you would expect from a take away. The meat and rice were so hard and inedible that as I write this I feel physically ill. I proceeded to try and ask could we get the bill and explain that the food had been inedible but to my surprise me and my wife were left completely alone in the restaurant with no one. I went into the kitchen and found someone and asked could we sort the bill and where our waiter was to be told he has left and we would have to wait until whenever hes back. This is outragious he left his customers completely alone in the restaurant and we were expected to stay than pay for attrocious inedible food. The poor kitchen porter was super apologetic and even looked afraid of what will happen when his boss arrives back. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!!!

14/07/2024: It's lovely place I love the food and the decorations well done 👍

20/11/2024: The service here is horrible. If you don’t like people you are not supposed to work in direct contact of customers. Too bad because the food is great.

13/11/2024: Tables dirty... endless fruit flies... you have to like it.

09/11/2024: Food made with smile and fire from an amazing woman from Barcelona!! Super tasty and not overpriced! Gracias chica!

26/10/2024: Beautiful authentic Spanish tapas, every dish was fantastic, staff were lovely & the wine was 👌 🇪🇸 We had an amazing cocktail to finish, the whiskey sour was top notch Well worth a visit, will be back soon

29/09/2024: Called to the slipper pub on way to the helixConor the barman was amazing.Will be back again.

25/08/2024: There's no food on Sunday evening, but who needs food if there's Guinness on tap? The atmosphere and service are great.
