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. .

27/11/2025: I have been a happy customer for many years now, and have never been disappointed.

11/10/2025: One of the worst experiences I have had, and I didn’t even try their food. We waited just under 20 minutes before someone came to our table, and that was after I had to go up to the host and ask if we could order. Keeping our 5yo entertained was not easy. When we then said that my wife was a coeliac the waitress said everything on their menu had gluten in it. Literally no options for a Coeliac. This made no sense as they had chicken, salads. Their burgers must be terrible, if they have flour in them! We left immediately, and they couldn’t care less. As we left we saw others with food and it looked cheap and nasty. Avoid at all costs

29/09/2025: Food is normally amazing just a few times recently it’s tasted like quite a bit worse when the food is good I’d recommend with flying colours

18/04/2026: They didn't let us in because of misjudgement as they thought we were yup Bros. Last time I checked we didn't need a 'guardian' to dine in. The food was horrible came cold the amounts were disgraceful and the price to amount is outrageous. the guy sucks don't recommend it run run run go to blazing flare there generous at least

09/03/2026: Good food. However it's very expensive for a miserable quantity of food.

23/10/2025: This was the most expensive breakfast I have ever had anywhere in the world. One small piece of toast, two small eggs and a few small pieces of bacon - €14. I asked for an additional piece of toast and was told that I need to get an additional portion of toast (2 slices) for €3.50. So for €17.50, I would actually have had a normal sized breakfast. This is how much I have paid for a continental breakfast in a hotel!!!! Food was average, came lukewarm. Ordered large cappuccino and it came with powdered cocoa with sugar on top. Without asking if I actually take sugar. The wait staff was nice but the rest of the experience was ridiculous. Never again.

22/08/2025: No puedo creer lo mal que le ha ido a Solo Café, Killiney, porque me encantaba. Todo fue horrible. El personal era realmente grosero y nos sentimos como si fuéramos un inconveniente al ordenar. La comida estaba literalmente tirado en la mesa y no recibimos nuestras bebidas hasta después de la comida, a pesar de que pedimos dos veces. La calidad real de la comida también ha ido terrible. Mi tortilla era dura y no comestible y venía con un montón de pasta horrible (decía ensalada en el menú), pero la camarera ciertamente no estaba feliz de hacernos saber en qué consistía una ensalada. Nunca volveré después de esa experiencia.

01/11/2025: Lovely coffee shop, great lighting and furniture - much improved. Came here Sat morning (1st Nov), all staff were friendly. Thanks

24/10/2025: Absolutely disgraceful and disappointing experience today. Refusing a 5 year old use of the toilet unless you pay for something. Even thoigh I didn't need anything I had to pay €2 for my 5 year old to use the toilet. Very disappointing. Costa has lost a customer

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

13/09/2025: Covid is over open the door into the sitting outside area.

23/11/2025: Very nice staff and yummy wings 🤗

07/10/2025: An hour for delivery. I live 5 minutes away. Chicken burger was decent, garlic chips were rank. Went back a second time. The Irish lady on the grill took my order then twenty minutes later just yelled that the machine is broke. Only for the Indian guy on the grill offering me a substitute, I wouldn't have got my food at all. Clearly the staff only are nice to locals.

12/05/2026: Great food, we ordered online and it satisfied our cravings 😀

05/04/2026: Waited 2 hours for pizza delivery.

11/03/2026: Best chipper for miles around. Chips are the best I've tasted in a long time. Could not possibly say anything but good about the food. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

05/09/2025: My favourite caffè nero. Best atmosphere good desserts and coffee.

30/08/2025: Very nice venue and great place to work on your laptop, definitely recommend!

06/11/2025: The crew is very disrispectful!! The night security guard, a skinny security was cursing me all the time, he said a lot of bad word to my mom and my daughter. It was horrible! How a company this big let a monster like that work in there? I will never come back to this place again.

05/11/2025: Avoid! My burger bun had mould on it.

19/04/2026: Very disappointing meal. We were there to celebrate a family milestone birthday. While the service is very friendly and efficient the food is mediocre and overpriced. We went with the set menu priced at €60 with an extra €15 for the steak (which was tough), we asked for chips instead of potatoes and were told we would be charged an extra €8 per head which brought it to over €80 for the set menu. Desserts are prepared in advance but very nice. Starter was nice too (prawn ravioli). Much better value off site in Blackrock or nearby areas. The room lacked atmosphere and didn’t feel like somewhere to linger.

20/04/2026: Went yesterday for some chips absolutely delicious, real chipper chips. Hope to be back soon. Staff were GREAT

29/11/2025: traditional fish and chips, very tasty. friendly service.
