The best restaurants in Dublin

01/10/2026: I’ve been coming here for over a year since I moved into the neighbourhood and have found it to be incredibly warm and welcoming. The staff really make this place special, especially Rachel who is always up for a small chat. I usually pick up a flat white and sometimes a scone, one of the best I’ve had. It’s always a good day whenever I can stop by.

16/06/2026: Quite a sweet coffee, ordered a small one & was given a large. Wouldn’t recommend. One Kinda Folk nearby is better.

20/09/2026: Had a lovely burger and chips 🍟 😋

07/09/2026: We arrive to this Burger King way before they were closed. The guy said they were closed even although they are listed to be open much later. On September 7th. Very disappointed walk back to our hotel. Take your money elsewhere

25/08/2026: Sat in this chipper yesterday. Service was 10/10. As we ordered our food and sat down one of the chefs was about to sit down for his break I noticed he got back up after he opened his own meal and got us cutlery. Wouldn’t see too many young lads think like that. Food was fresh and delicious. Definitely one of the nicest chippers around 👌

20/08/2026: They didn't have ray. I got fresh cod and chips. Cod was smaller than it should have been but there was an extra scoop of chips. Food was tasty

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

13/09/2026: Holy crap! Some of the best soft serve ice cream in a cone that we’ve ever had. It was way different from the United States, this is like way fluffier and creamier. 10 out of 10!

24/08/2026: The older woman working at the sandwich counter may have some difficulty hearing or seeing—I couldn’t quite tell. That might explain her behavior; otherwise, I don’t understand why she was so rude. She didn’t listen to how I wanted my sandwich made and even lectured me on how I should speak. I will never order a sandwich from this place again.

09/08/2026: Best kebab in north Dublin, and the fresh cod and chips are great as well

19/05/2026: This chipper is a propper chipper, love the smoke cod 👌

08/09/2026: Nice place, but pretty dingy, not what I was expecting from the nice area

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.

08/10/2026: I always come here, but specifically today the meat wasn’t good, the fries not completely cooked and was soft and oily. Different is when there are the others guys cooking. The two girls working now there are so rude and disappointing that neither they say “hi” and is not the first time. I already avoided entering more than one time because of them. I will check first who is cooking and who is managing and will avoid to enter inside. Unfortunately today I wasn’t able to see who was preparing the burger, I felt him very dirty, not really professional, all touched with his hands in a way that was so dirty. Anyway thanks to the guy in charge today he is very respectful and professional, but the two girls my god so rude.

06/10/2026: Minimalistic but as usual the best burger for me is always Eddie rockets 🚀

03/09/2026: Terrible coffee,cold to no atmosphere,dark unpleasant place.

31/07/2026: My drink yesterday had small bits of foil

01/09/2026: I ordered a chicken fillet kebab, and my salad had bugs on it! The kebab was rather bad than nice, I'll tell it in couple hours😭

30/07/2026: Had a bad experience orederd batter buger chips burnt,, soo I always got a takeaway from them for years ,, but haven't orederd from them ina while,, so I fancied a takeaway tonight,,yeh give them another chance ,, ordered at 7.44pm it didn't arrive till 8.44 ,, rang then ooh its on its way ,,, never will I say to my friends about golden grain again ,, food not satisfying anymore, delivery joke , an hour waiting not on

08/08/2026: Update: Ordered a half and half for €7.50. This is what arrived??? It used to come with a bowl of chips and 3 onion rings. Where are the chips??? 16 chips and 3 onion rings for €7.50!!! I'm done with Eddie Rockets now, will NEVER be back. Scabby portion sizes for the price. Original: Better than they don't take upfront payment now but prices are ridiculous. €51 for a small adult burger, a regular adult burger, two cheese fries, a toddler meal and one adult soft drink!!

20/06/2026: Sorry, but not even close to the Clarehall branch, unless things have gone downhill there as well. The Frank’s hot wings were extremely vinegary; we couldn’t finish them as they just weren’t enjoyable. The fries that came with the wings weren’t fresh either, mostly just small broken pieces. We didn’t finish those either. The blue cheese was sour and way worse than it used to be. €40 completely wasted.

10/08/2026: I’ve been into this shop multiple times over the past month, and honestly, it’s ridiculous that the exact same thing keeps happening every time. The blonde girl is clearly working her arse off trying to serve customers and keep everything running, while the dark-haired, emo-looking girl and another member of staff are quite happy sitting at the back together doing absolutely nothing to help. There are often queues of around five customers, and somehow the blonde girl is expected to deal with every single person on her own while the other two are sat at the back chatting. How is that remotely acceptable? She is left running around trying to serve everyone while they completely ignore the situation at the front. In fairness to her, even while under stress she always greets me and others with a smile and with great service so this is in no way a reflection on the blonde girl. What makes it even worse is how obvious the exclusion is. The blonde girl is basically left on her own while the dark-haired girl and the other employee stay together in the corner, making no effort whatsoever to help her. I’ve also seen this happen to another girl working there. I’ve repeatedly seen the same behaviour now which is honestly such as shame as I really enjoy this bakery as the food is fantastic. It’s extremely unprofessional, unfair and honestly just embarrassing to watch.

09/07/2026: Wow soooo many flies ALL over the beautiful cakes and the young girl behind the counter on her phone not a care on the world. Mentioned the flies all over the cake to her she just shrugged her shoulders

06/07/2026: Nice coffee, had a spicy chicken, bacon panini, which came with a bottle of water. They also do waffles and ice creams, plenty of seating as well. Nice spot on a hot day.

26/05/2026: I don’t even want to give this place a star. I ordered an iced latte with oat milk but was given regular milk instead. This wasn’t a preference, now feeling sick. Really disappointing experience.
