The best restaurants in Dublin

16/12/2025: Great local cafe / restaurant. Fresh top class breakfast and lunch with friendly well trained professional staff. I've been several times with my wife and friends and will be back again. Good value, spotless, friendly staff. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed

04/10/2025: Absolutely beautiful food and great service 👌

07/12/2025: Polite friendly staff with quick service

30/11/2025: Not happy, ordered through deliveroo, they took my order from deliveroo, driver was outside my apartment but didnt take my phone number from deliveroo, wheres the sense in that

18/08/2025: The doner kebab rap here is a must try.

10/07/2025: Unfortunately, I've had my orders messed up multipe times and been outright given the wrong order more than twice from different staff and seen them mess up other people's orders and have to run after them. I mean in both the sense of getting the order's detail wrong, like leaving on onions when you asked for none, or outright giving you someone else's food. There's making a mistake and there's being consistantly disorganized. The staff arent at all unfriendly, the food is fine when you get what you ordered, but double check what they give you before you've gone all the way home. I really don't recommend going here if you have specific allergies.

25/11/2025: A wonderful, atmospheric and elegant store with a true soul. The selection is of the highest quality, and you know that the pieces you buy will last you for many years. The staff are incredibly kind, friendly and professional, always ready to offer help and advice whenever needed. I wholeheartedly recommend this place.

13/11/2025: Great spot for some Irish wool scarves! A lovely and well-made souvenir for a holiday visit!

19/10/2025: With group of 17 people, I visited this travelling all the way 1hour from Newbridge because local Indians told good Indian food is served in restaurant owned & run by Bangladeshi. Though I was bit reluctant because of Bangladeshi angle told by people but found to be quite better than many restaurants run in the name of Indian restaurants in Ireland by Pakistanis & Bangladeshi. Alu Tikki chat, Samosa Chat , Paneer cuisines, Dal tadka, other veg dishes , Roti, Naan, Biryani etc were good and tasty and didn’t disappoint as normally happened with restaurants branded as Indian restaurants in Ireland, UK. I chose Keema Pav for myself and I was highly satisfied with taste and content & I just forgot my apprehension that I had before visiting restaurants. Serve was good and serving staff took well care of us. Suggest do visit for better experience.

05/10/2025: There is a new menu, and from what we were told a new chef. There is also a severe price hike when dishes went from ~20 to ~25 with clearly no improvement on the quantity or quality. This is strangely correlated with the opening of a Pakistani restaurant across the road. Also the lady serving us tonight was… not great. Anyway, this is all very disappointing. We used to come regularly, tonight was the last time.

07/10/2025: The pistachio doughnut is to die for. A lot of filling inside, not too sweet, just perfect.

04/10/2025: Staff were very friendly, knew specific prices off the top of their heads. Donuts were fresh. Great service.

23/10/2025: Pleasant friendly and helpful staff There is always excellent service here

13/10/2025: Regular here and they never disappoint. Coffee is always unreal and the workers are lovely, particularly Caoimhe (I'm so sorry if I spelled this wrong 😭😂). Such an angel and always full of smiles 😊

11/11/2025: I went to this café today and ordered a small mocha. While chatting with my colleague, another staff member (different from the one who took my order) called out “your mocha,” so I naturally went up and took it. A few moments later, the person who originally took my order came up to me and started speaking to me quite loudly, accusing me of taking a medium mocha instead. I tried to explain that I just took the drink when their colleague handed it out, but she continued to speak in an unpleasant tone and gave me angry looks — right in front of my colleague and her staff. I found that very unprofessional and unnecessary, especially since the difference was only €1 and it wasn’t even a mocha — it turned out to be a cappuccino. I wasn’t bothered about getting the wrong drink, mistakes happen, but the way the situation was handled and the attitude shown were completely unjustified. A little more courtesy and understanding would have gone a long way

29/07/2025: Costa pulse at ucd have my heart, they have the best staff always there to serve you. I was a student here and everytime i used to enter the cafeteria they remembered my regular order and with a bright smile they served me. Thanks to the entire team for making my time in UCD great. Kudos. The small mocha will be missed.

26/08/2025: This is a great spot! An excellent Latte, hot chocolate and treats were had. Excellent service! Highly recommend

26/08/2025: Great coffee. Best Espresso around so far. Good sitting areas and spacious you migh be able to use your laptop or charge your phone. Power close to tables. Good cosy and quiet atmosphere. Its a regular.

30/10/2025: Amazing small old school pub. Staff are very friendly!

29/10/2025: Iconic pub with all kinds of Irish beer and whiskey. Naturally, it has an electric atmosphere. But it serves only ham sandwiches. Having more food choices would be nice. Overall, it is a must visit in Dublin.

24/11/2024: Not sure what happened with this spot. Some years back it used to be great coffee and good pastries. Then they changed to cheap coffee over covid and the quality never improved again, although with the shift towards bakery it was still a good spot, with subpar coffee but great pastries. Every now and then that nostalgia will bring me back but today I paid a fortune for a carrot & rocket sandwich in stale bread to a cashier that didn't really want us there. I hope whatever the new location is will bring back the old standards.

17/11/2024: My go to place for pastries - cinnamon bun, coffee walnut bun, almond croissant, the cookies… I’ve had them here many times and was never disappointed.

21/10/2025: Pub is usually closed. Expect for big match days. I think

31/08/2025: Is a good place good pint decent price decent food but when it's hoping on a match day 10/10 pure class! 🍀🇮🇪🍀

19/07/2025: Me and my partner came here on Thursday , the Bouncers wore extremely friendly and nice and the atmosphere was great but unfortunately an extremely rude bar person is the reason why I will never go again, I was waiting at the bar for at least 10 minutes and he eventually turned around to me and said he doesn’t serve my kind, then continued to serve everyone else, will not be returning.

18/07/2025: It's a shame that in a place with such a good vibe and even better entertainment, there are such arrogant bouncers who yell in your face for leaving your bag somewhere you didn't know you weren't allowed to leave it. They even touched my belongings without permission—really awful behavior.

12/10/2025: Good for food, service and atmosphere. Really busy spot but over priced, 17 euro for a burrito and bottle of water.

27/08/2025: Great burritos, friendly and efficient staff

31/10/2025: Just ordered through Deliveroo (I don't live far from it). It arrived on time, not too late, but both milkshakes were literally melted. Pure water. The waffle was rock hard and insipid. Will never ever try again. Wishing them what they deserve.

26/09/2025: Loads of options including brownie with ice cream and cookie ice cream sandwiches, also does Sundays. Very tasty!
