The best restaurants in Dublin

16/12/2025: Staff very warm & welcoming. Restaurant Supervisor was smiling, friendly & attentive. Lovely decor and ambiance. Unfortunately, to our surprise, the food wasn’t very nice. Goats cheese & beet starter was served resembling a piece of pie. It didn’t appear to be freshly made and was somewhat dry. Fish & chips very poor quality. The cod was wafer thin, hard and basically a piece of batter. I’m almost sure the chips were cooked from frozen and not “homemade” prepared, as expected for the price. Beef was just ok but wasn’t finished due to the overly fatty content and off putting texture. Table bread and salmon starter was lovely and served fresh. We did not stay for dessert. The full amount paid was €120 for two persons, this included €10 tip for the service staff. In my opinion, it’s just not worth the money based on the overall quality of the meal served. Such a pity considering the performance we went to see was amazing. We could have eaten better elsewhere for 1/2 of the price. This was our first time to eat at this restaurant..

16/10/2025: Great buzz great atmosphere great food despite some dodgy reviews so pleased with lovely grub

27/11/2025: Price of food quite disgraceful for a students eating area, especially considering it's cheap-tasting. Id you order anything for takeaway, they give you about half the amount you'd get if you're eating in, even though you're paying the same price. Drinks are worse, no cider on the student price menu, and cocktails/mixed drinks are watered down or barely any alcohol in them. Whenever anything brought up with main fella he's quite hostile/unfriendly. Pool tables that you need coins for but they don't offer cash back/coins.

30/09/2025: Better Restaurant on the campus. Students can discuss their issues

15/09/2025: They have a variety of foods, cakes, breads, desserts, etc. I love the atmosphere because it's very calm, there's no pressure, and you can enjoy beautiful views. The staff is very friendly and patient. I love going there for breakfast and different drinks ☕️

09/08/2025: A lovely cafe at Rathfarnham Castle. We sat at a table overlooking the beautiful grounds. The display of food looked so fresh and appetising and we enjoyed our choice immensely. Thank you to a charming young lady, (who seemed to be new and training) that looked after us very efficiently. Such a hidden gem. Will definitely return

09/12/2025: There's only chip size option; large and it's a standard size portion in my opinion. I ordered the chips and a southern fried breast of chicken. I asked for salt and vinegar and when I started eating, the first thing that struck me was how bland the food was. There was very little salt and vinegar on the chips. In fact I suspect it's that watered down 'vinegar' some chippers use. The chicken was a big let down too. Southern fried should have tons of flavour but this tasted of nothing. Overall it was a disappointing meal and service was very slow. Also, leave the chips unwrapped and the salt and vinegar out on display so customers can add more. Will not return.

14/11/2025: The kebab had to much lettuce and cabbage and the curry chips I got were too dry didn’t have much sauce 👍

12/10/2025: Absolutely horrible cinnamon roll I saw the old comment and I trusted but was a huge disappointed

30/09/2025: Horrible cinnamon roll. Used to be one of the best in town.

15/06/2025: Closed on Sunday Too lazy to advertise their schedule. Disgrace.

04/01/2026: We went for lunch for 8 people before a game in the Aviva. Service was very poor, no consistency with waiting staff. We were served by a different waiter every time. Very slow to get drinks and food. It took over an hour for the kids to be served their food. Food was average but overpriced. Tempura prawn starter had 2 prawns for €22. Kids meal €18 for 2 courses!! We were the only table in the restaurant so I’m not sure why service and food was so slow. The hotel is beautiful. The setting is lovely. If service was better this could be a great place to dine.

19/10/2025: Truly awful experience today for lunch. We had been on many occasions before and were always wowed by the atmosphere food and service. A group of 6 of us arrived for lunch today and were seated next to a group of 50 people which appeared to be a christening. The noise was deafening, children running around screaming and staff were few, and very overwhelmed. The food was really poor, the accompanying salad with the prawn tempura lacked freshness, the steak was as tough as old boots with no marination, and the ice cream for dessert was similar to what you’d get at a children’s birthday party. I complained to management and they did discount the bill, a solid gesture but not what I was looking for! We were looking for a nice meal in a ‘small leading hotels of the world’ restaurant but it felt like a cross between McDonald’s and a roadside cafe. Management need to step up, this is APPALLING, and we will not be stepping in there ever again

26/06/2025: Great service,great food choice also order is made fast. Food taste great.

20/06/2025: Best chipper around.The staff are very friendly,and the place is spotless.Would'nt eat anywhere else.

22/08/2025: I really enjoyed my lunch here. There was a good choice of main courses. My chicken curry was tasty & the cabbage was great too. The Warbler & Wren coffee was delicious. If you bring your own mug of cofeee you get a 10% discount. It's very economical compared with many eateries in the vicinity, The dinning area is extensive and I enjoyed talking to some students eating lunch with me.

10/08/2025: It's advertised as open until 10:30am for breakfast. We went in at 09:55 and they had already stopped serving. We asked one of the staff, who was quite grumpy about telling us food was only served till 10. Went to Keoghs instead.

02/01/2026: Surprised that the food was ok, but not surprised at the service. Order wrong and when you return the wrong item, the staff make out like they are doing you a favour

27/12/2025: Worst customer service and specially packaging

20/11/2025: This place is quite consistent in messing up orders, today was the last straw for us. No accountability. The food here is barely worth it if their service was any good, without that this place is an easy skip. Recommend to avoid.

14/11/2025: Absolutely beautiful chips! My son got a chicken burger, and I got a quarter pounder, both cooked to perfection! My other son who had Autism will only eat some batter sausages and he devoured the batter sausages from here. The man serving was polite and very fast considering he was serving alone. Keep up the great service and food! We thoroughly enjoyed 🥰 Thank you!

05/09/2025: Wasn’t expecting too much as the location is a standard hotel adjunct, but had the Thai curry that was one of the freshest tastiest ever had. Sometimes you have to look past the expectation.

12/05/2025: Avoid at all costs, the Manager Alex was so rude, incompetent and arrogant, treating customers very disrespectful..

20/11/2025: Cashier is very friendly (Lin) . Lots of stuff this time. Promotion is worth it. The cashier system must be improved. Excellent

17/10/2025: Recently booked, paid online and pickup keropok lekor from here. Wanted to drop by just to pickup keropok lekor but we ended up adding more Malaysian gem stuff into our carts 😅 From kicap habhal, serbuk asam and asam boi, twisties cheese!! Lovely service but be mindful of the expiry date, ask for discount if you’re willing to buy it if it hs already expired 😉 The “fresh” goods are not something you would come for here but their packed Malaysian goods are definitely worth coming for.

13/12/2025: Cod batter was burnt at one end . Chips are included with fish rather than done separately so it hides the fact there are less. The chipper in greendale is far more generous !

06/11/2025: Best chipper on the Northside.Food is excellent

13/08/2025: Ordered take out. The food was surprisingly tasty. Didn't expect to get authentic taste of Chinese food in Ireland. And the portion is quite big too. Worth every penny.

11/08/2025: Ordered a spice bag with spring roll. Safe to say it was well seasoned and absolutely delicious. It wasn’t too crowded so the service was quick. The server was super friendly.
