The best restaurants in Dublin

17/07/2026: Would agree with the most recent review. Have seen this spot a few times on my route to work and was keen to try it. It’s a handy spot for staff at the hospital. However, the coffee was on the bitter side and weak and the croissant I ordered tasted a bit stale.

16/07/2026: As a barista myself, I pay close attention to the details. Unfortunately, I found the coffee to be bitter and not up to my expectations. I also noticed that the coffee machines and work area did not, in my opinion, appear as clean and well maintained as I would expect. The service also felt rather rushed and not particularly friendly. Overall, it wasn’t an experience I would recommend.

30/01/2026: First time getting Ly in a few years. It use to be massive but the spice bags are flavourless now, just 90% onions no garlic like it use to. The fried noodles tasted just like pepper and the only thing that was decent was the curry sauce. Plus you miss the 2 Jess’s. Place was flat

28/01/2026: One of the best spice bags you can get around Dublin.

05/11/2025: Your food was so tasty, thanks 😋

04/08/2025: Got a takeaway that I ordered online. I was starved. Hit the spot.

07/12/2025: Typical atmosphere, savory breakfast, excellent price! Highly recommended.

11/11/2025: When you're in need of a great breakfast this is the spot. 2 lovely ladies turning out delicious food at a tenner a head. What's not to like! Highly recommended

04/05/2026: We miss you, please come back. We are lost without you.

25/04/2026: Was great a few years back. Gone to the dogs!

15/03/2026: My sister lives in the area, and brought me for breakfast. The food was lovely, so was the tea and coffee. Even the toast was lovely. It was a lot better than I expected.

03/03/2026: Excellent food . Good service. It was all well cooked and quantity ingredients. We will be back

22/05/2026: Very nice cafe & staff.i think it may be a bit overpriced but there was plenty of food

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.

17/01/2026: Absolutely awful experience. Service was diabolical the place was extremely loud and expensive. I paid €8.79 for 4 mozzarella sticks with a bland sauce and neary 30 euro for a bacon and cheese burger with a small portion of chips. Waiting 20 minutes for someone to take away my starter after I had finished and was not even given a knife or fork for my main course. Avoid this place at all costs, you will pay nearly half the price for better food and service in Eddie Rockets across the road.

15/01/2026: Very greasy food, lost its charm years ago

25/11/2025: Great service, food was yummy, felt like I had finally eaten substantially (if you are south asian you know) Food was nice quality and halal so definitely recommend Definitely should be busier. Very underrated

30/10/2025: Got the Twisted Tikka Masala and my boyfriend got some curry dish. The curry was good, but the Tikka Masala was not what I would consider a Tikka Masala. The flavour was only of tomatoes, there was minimal spices added, the colour was red rather then the usual orangey colour. I ordered for takeout so I was glad to have spices at home to fix it… but I would have definitely asked for something else if I was there in person. Pretty pricey as well for the quality and portion

25/05/2026: I have been a loyal customer here for a long time, but after my last visit, I will never step foot in this place again. When I walked in, the chef gave me a really strange look. I ignored my gut feeling and ordered my usual spice bag anyway. It tasted off, but I stupidly finished it. That was a massive mistake. The next morning, I woke up violently ill. I was incredibly sick all day long, to the point where I couldn’t even function properly at work. It was an absolute nightmare. They have completely lost a regular customer. Avoid this place unless you want severe food poisoning.

23/04/2026: If you want a Chinese takeaway that has salt, spice, and everything nice. This is what you need

09/07/2026: Fresh cod is durt. One of the worst fish and chips ive had . Absolutely horrible. Shame on you serving the crap

27/06/2026: Don't know what's happened to Silvio's nutgrove was ordering for years 😕 fish is horrible kebabs are frozen don't order them and when you ask for extra salt and vinegar you don't get it delivery is terrible food was cold so many times just gave up on this place

22/02/2026: Sadly now permanently closed (February 2026)

27/01/2026: Magnificent! Food on point and the mocha was simply the best i’ve had in Dublin. Definitely would come back.

05/07/2026: lovely McDonald's food so fresh

27/06/2026: Shitty place with shitty prices. Just don't eat here
