The best restaurants in Dublin

03/11/2025: Excellent food. Great coffee. Excellent service. Large breakfast was enough for 2. Kids pancakes very good. Not the cheapest but everything is fresh and very tasty. Good products. Good suppliers. Some delays in service noticeable from time to time and kitchen gets slammed. Suggest hiring kp. Chefs too busy.

11/10/2025: Really good local cafe. Can be quite busy. .

07/12/2025: We came in for a drink and I was refused at the bar for not having my ID. Fair enough, we usually don’t get ID’d, but we completely understood and decided to leave. I went upstairs to tell my friend, and before we could even walk out, a female staff member followed us upstairs and told us to leave in an unnecessarily hostile tone, I turned to my friend and made a comment at my friend saying that it was crazy since we’ve never been ID’d before, and the staff member responded with “wow that’s crazy” in a condescending tone while turning her back on us, completely unnecessary, but we didn’t argue. We then went home, got our IDs and came back. We were served at the bar with no issues until about an hour later, the same lady approached our table and said “you need to leave,” again in an extremely rude, snappy and aggressive tone. When we explained that we had brought our IDs and had already been served, she responded with “mm that’s cute,” in a condescending tone and walked away. Even the table beside us noticed her unprofessional and rude behaviour making a comment to us that her actions were really rude and condescending and disturbed the section. We were shocked by her nasty attitude and before approaching the rude staff member directly, we first asked another staff member at the bar for her name, we described her, a dark haired, short ginger woman. Not only did the bar staff refuse to give her name, they even denied she was an employee and said there was nobody ginger working there, which is honestly unbelievable given she had been working the floor the whole time. We then went to speak to her directly and found her busy chatting with her friends. We tried to calmly ask for her name, which she immediately became defensive and unprofessional. She continued cutting us off the entire time, not letting me speak even though I was genuinely trying to have a calm conversation. She continuously repeating that she had no obligation to give her name, which made no sense if she really believed she wasn’t at any fault. In the middle of this already uncomfortable situation, another bar staff member happened to walk by. When I asked him for her name, he just stayed silent and walked away. She then immediately said, “He’s not going to give it, I’m his manager,” in the same hostile, smug tone as before. The effort to hide her name and avoid any accountability was honestly shocking. She continued ranting about how she’s had to refuse so many underage kids all the time, as if that justified the way she spoke to us. It was completely irrelevant to our situation, we weren’t underage, we came back with our IDs, and we were already served at the bar with no issue after having IDs checked. Her personal frustration with other customers is not a valid excuse for the negative, hostile attitude she directed at us. To make it worse, the friends she had been chatting with decided to chime in as well, and she did absolutely nothing to stop them, if anything, she encouraged it by standing there letting them get involved. It was unbelievably unprofessional and made the whole interaction feel even more hostile. She asked what we’d do with her name, & when I said we intended to report her behaviour, both her & her friends scoffed & laughed at us. Interestingly after demanding we leave again the second time, she didn’t even bother checking our IDs once we said we had them. That alone shows this wasn’t about policy, and if it was then she’s obviously extremely incompetent at her job. We came in without IDs, got refused which was fair, left, and brought them back. What wasn’t okay was her attitude, the rudeness, the refusal to let us speak and the completely unprofessional way she handled the situation. Her frustration with underage kids is not a reason to treat others with disrespect. Absolutely horrible customer service. Thoroughly disappointed and would not recommend. For references, we do not look like teenagers, we are in our mid twenty’s and the table beside us was also extremely confused and made comments that we looked in our mid twenty’s.

02/12/2025: Was here the other day for food. The place wasn't that busy but it is just awful. It clearly lacks the basic needs and trained staff of running a Pub

06/12/2025: After 12 years without visiting Dublin, first thing we did was coming to Apache. Good pizzas, specially the pepperoni one 😇

27/11/2025: Great food and even better atmosphere. Music is elite.

16/10/2025: This venue is well located, walkable distance to the town & nice drive to Cong. Bedrooms are a good size. Bathrooms would benefit from an upgrade but are fine. Receptionist was quite cold but all other staff were very pleasant. Food was very good, though service was incredibly slow. Night porter was extremely helpful. Didn't use the leisure centre but it looked quite nice.

14/06/2025: Great place, staff is very friendly, good selection of drinks.

03/10/2025: This is our family 'go to ' for indian food. We simply have never had a bad meal. Love the chats with people working in the place. Really, they are like family. I know everything I order i am getting their best. This is a real local gem that should be treasured. Lamb korma divine, sagg paneer to die for! This is not just good it's the best Indian food.

07/06/2025: A superb Indian. The food is very tasty, full of flavour. I recommended this place.

09/10/2024: Service is oky but fich it was testing freezing not frech

29/09/2024: Actually this is one of my favorite places in Ireland, their food is amazing

20/11/2025: Their driver just nearly caused a mass crash when entering N11. When we signalled him he tried to push us off the road. Mad!

01/07/2025: We love this four star. The staff are very good 👍🏻 Pizzas are simply delicious 😋

05/12/2025: The best chips in Dublin - most of the time. Sometimes undercooked chicken 8 - but overall a good and reasonably priced takeaway. Consistency of quality would make it great.

24/11/2025: Everything is yummy, fast, and efficient

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

10/11/2025: Very good and clean, friendly 👌absolutely brilliant staff, coffee and atmosphere 6 out of 5😊😊

17/10/2025: I was informed that Sunday - 12th Oct 2025 was the final service in Mario’s Ranelagh Great place, busy with locals! Nice food, House white wine was fab.

03/10/2025: Very disappointing. We were met by a sullen unfriendly staff member with very limited English and zero customer service skills. Throughout the evening we were served by four different staff members, no continuity of service and yet it took us the best part of 15 minutes to catch someone's attention to get the bill. At no stage were we asked if everything was ok or if we were enjoying our meal. Nobody said goodbye as we left, they were too busy sweeping and mopping the floor (at 9pm!). Food was ok. We thought our pasta portions were quite small, overpriced and I could make better myself. Overall impression was impersonal, take it or leave it service. As long-term residents of Ranelagh, very sad to see Mario's has gone downhill big time.

04/11/2025: Absolutely a lovely chipper passed this multiple times on the way to the mater hospital and never gave it’s thought until we ended up staying in the hospital with family member. It then be a regular dinner for us while at the mater . Staff lovely food always fresh and kept warm with the great heat bags they give you with a take away order . Would definitely recommend this chipper . Don’t live near it but would travel or stop again when near the hospital

12/10/2025: Simple cheap delicious. Only had chips and onion rings but they were really good. Staff friendly and place was clean.

08/11/2025: Bad Food. Too much Garlic on the garlic fries and the doner is not good qualify

04/11/2025: Friendly service, good value. Been here twice and both times didn’t disappoint. Def recommend the falafel wrap and garlic cheese chips!

15/10/2025: Delicious food, really nice guys working there. Came all the way up from Offaly for it and we were not disappointed!

06/09/2025: The chicken burger at Topbun was delicious – crispy, juicy, and full of flavour. The portion was just right, and it felt fresh and well made. Definitely worth trying if you love a good chicken burger.

28/11/2025: Excellent place to buy food or supermarket items in a beautiful location in Dublin.

14/10/2025: Cozy for a cold and rainy night.

30/10/2025: Great traditional pub great staff lovely atmosphere
