The best restaurants in Dublin

28/02/2026: Supermarket with practically every type of food and shopping. Perhaps a little pricey, but it's ideally located for strolling around the docks.

19/02/2026: A cracking food store that also has a great variety of hot and cold food to eat in or takeaway

16/03/2026: Great cafe for breakfast and coffee staff are always helpful food is always lovely

14/01/2026: Food is just pre packaged frozen and low quality. The owner is also malicious and racist- avoid!

14/01/2026: The food was delicious 10/10 also very nice and friendly staff well recommended A+++

15/08/2025: Wouldn’t even give it a star, got a snack box today and chicken was raw wouldn’t go back ever again

25/09/2025: Lovely staff members, great coffee

10/07/2025: Walk as no marshmallows in hot chocolate daughter was disappointed

17/11/2025: These guys made a lovely birthday cake for my wife's 60th with her twin sister. They went to a lot of trouble to get the details right and at a very reasonable cost.

29/10/2025: Nice bakery for a quick stop. There is no seating available, but there is plenty of parking space out front, so you can eat or drink in your car or on the go. Staff was quick to assist. The chai latte I had was good, but not great. The croissant was huge, that made up for the price I paid for it. Special milks add 80ct to the price.

30/06/2025: Pizza Hawaiian - ordered today 21:50. Came very quick, hot and fresh food but - no sauce so I don’t know if there is no sauce at all or they forgot to add and the base seems like without tomato sauce, pizza hot and fresh but very dry from the other side, the tomato sauce if was added seems like it vapour.

01/05/2025: I ordered through Uber Eats and tried their bestseller meal. Honestly, it was only worth about one-sixth of what I paid for it

15/02/2026: I don’t know what to say other than disappointing. The prices are crazy for what you get given the quality is no better than a typical Chinese takeaway. The spring rolls were strange to say the least. Wasn’t able to tell how fresh the veg in them were. The garlic and black bean fillet beef was nice but no way was it fillet beef. The chilli beef was good too but very deep fried to the point you couldn’t taste beef and just deep fried batter. The worst thing we got at our table was the salt and chilli chicken, it was absolutely disgusting. And for nearly 30 euro - it was daylight robbery. The chicken itself didn’t look like chicken and it was drowning in oil. For the same price, I could have dined at a top restaurant in the city centre. Overall, really disappointing.

14/02/2026: The food did not live up to our expectations. Vegetable spring rolls were very dry and the dipping sauce was extremely salty and did not complement the dish. Main course of fillet beef with black bean and garlic was nice however the beef did not taste like fillet. Main course of shredded chicken was inedible. Noodles were in a puddle of oil. The pieces of chicken didn’t resemble chicken at all. We asked the waiter was it definitely chicken and even she had to cut a piece herself to confirm, will not be back unfortunately.

26/12/2025: Reserved a takeaway bag on Stephen's day through an app. No phone number included in app, no matching cafe name could be found on Maps. Called only number available before and after arrival but this only connected to the main line for the "estate". Gates closed, completely locked up when I arrived. Wasted drive across the city.

25/11/2025: Everything was so wrong today in this restaurant. Nothing worse than paying for bad service and food was not up to scratch. There were four of us. One had butternut squash soup that was far too thick. No vegetarian sandwich choices although egg mayonnaise was on the board, they said it was a mistake. They toasted a small roll with cheese and caramelised onion in (they took the ham out)! My 86 yr old aunt tried to eat this, but it was far too hard for her. One other had a scone that was very small, had a sugared top and was way overcooked. You could break a window with it. €4:95 for the scone! Originally I had to call Someone to take our order. The hot drinks arrived first and we had finished them when we were still waiting on the food. I had to ask where our order was. I had to ask for water for the table, I had to ask for salt as 2 peppers on the table. There was a little cutlery holder on the table with 3 knives in it and about 10 forks. It was a table for 4. We complained and got a 10% reduction off our bill! First time there and unfortunately our last. Nothing worse than having to keep asking for attention and ending up with overpriced inedible food!

28/09/2025: Thank you, I come early in the morning and do abit of work from my laptop before library opens. The staff is very friendly! The milkshake is amazing:-)

22/09/2025: I was there early - helpful & friendly staff - coffee just ok

22/02/2026: Have ordered before from Spice Cottage and food was always great. But yesterday, we ordered two starters (onion baji and chicken pakura), both were soaking in grease and virtually inedible…we ordered one main (chicken tikka masala with Pilau rice), the rice was the best part!! The Nasn bread was soggy. Feels like a completely different takeaway/chef…reluctant to try again!!!

28/01/2026: Avoid prawn starter just a tub of tomato sauce lamb jalfezi have had way better 28 euro not impressed

27/11/2025: Shocking customer service. Equally shocking food left with lasting nausea.DO NOT Recommend

20/10/2025: Ordered Lilac snow and mango sago and it was very awful.

02/01/2026: The coffee was very good. Everything else was extremely disappointing. 👎👎

23/11/2025: Great coffee, fresh bread and pastries, and a friendly atmosphere. Definitely a place I’d come back to

16/03/2026: Don’t understand the hype unfortunately. Ate this right after it got handed to me. Chips were super soggy, battered sausage: the outer layer was not crispy at all, but sausage itself tasted good. Fish not bad was quite flaky and juicy, but batter some parts were fried too hard (not crispy but HARD), while other parts felt like not fried enough almost tasted like raw batter.

14/03/2026: Completely gone to the dogs now. Assemble line servicing at its best, staff barely speak a word if English , multiple visit have left items out of order. Chips are soggy, just cooked enough to be eatable and out the door on to the next order. I'd been coming for years at this point, but the last visit is and will be the last time I'd ever visit. The meal was a batter sausage (this was fine) and chips (soggy tasteless strips of potato at Monte Carlo prices) and would only recommend this place if you have a fist full of money to throw away and as a last resort would I recommend this. Great at one point. Desperate now. Pity management is entirely blind to see this.

18/07/2025: Visito este lugar cada vez que tomo el tren de Belfast que es aproximadamente una vez al mes. Gran café. Gran comida, personal encantador y gran gente mirando. Tengo la tentación de visitar incluso cuando no estoy tomando un tren 😊

05/05/2025: Had a coffee and danish pastry before setting off on our day trip - tasty and good value

21/03/2026: Ordered vegan burger with fries. Fries were either refried or deep fried for too long. Didn’t like the vegan patty too.

15/02/2026: I placed an order through Deliveroo from Stoned, 6 Parliament Street, during their buy-one-get-one-free promotion. My order included two Coca-Cola Zero, one Half & Half side, two chicken burgers, and four Double Cheese burgers. Unfortunately, I only received the side and the chicken burgers, several items were missing. Trying to resolve the issue was even more frustrating than the incomplete delivery. After calling for over five minutes, someone finally answered, only to shift the blame onto the delivery driver, claiming he had picked up two orders. This explanation made no sense, especially since the receipt clearly matched my order. I was told they would speak with the manager and call me back, but I never received any follow-up. After waiting 30 minutes, I called again and made more than 50 attempts, repeatedly being left waiting until the call disconnected. On one occasion, they answered and immediately hung up. An extremely disappointing experience. Mistakes can happen, but the lack of accountability and the poor customer service were unacceptable. Ignoring customers instead of solving problems is a sure way to lose them. If this continues, perhaps one day there will be no customers left. Update following the restaurant’s public response: As you chose to publicly describe a customer’s reaction as “crazy,” that unfortunately speaks more about your professionalism than about my complaint. At no point during the phone call was it clearly explained that the order was in two separate bags. Instead, responsibility was immediately shifted to the delivery driver. The receipt was attached to the bag I received, which reasonably indicated that it represented the complete order. Beyond the missing items, even what arrived was incorrect. Calling multiple times was not about overreacting, it was about attempting to resolve an issue while the restaurant was still operating. When a customer places an order, the expectation is simple: to receive what was paid for, without needing to pursue explanations or refunds. This situation has nothing to do with age or “learning that life has bigger problems.” It is about accountability and basic standards of customer service. Mistakes are understandable. Dismissing legitimate concerns publicly is not. Ultimately, time will reveal whether requesting the correct order was “crazy,” or whether responding to customers with sarcasm and condescension is a sustainable approach for any business...
