The best restaurants in Dublin

23/09/2025: Pastry is dense and not fresh, beverage is cold. Everything is obviously defrosted and old. Don’t waste your time coming here!

07/09/2025: Keep the oven open please. The pastries are tasty but coooooold :(

04/05/2026: The worst spice box if that's what they are calling it, Chicken was horrendous. And can only pay by card for anything over 10e

15/03/2026: Received this as a “spice bag” €37 order for a 4in1, “spice bag”, beef curry and chicken balls. Shocking value & portions

14/12/2025: There are so many better cafes and bakeries around Dun Laoghaire, don’t bother with this one. Got two pastries to take away which were gone off.

11/11/2025: they’re very lovely however the food is rather pricey…

21/12/2025: I got food poisoning from a burrito here yesterday and still suffering. Extremely bland burrito with low quality super-market ingredients. Thank goodness I didn't finish it or I would have been even more sick.

14/04/2026: Disappointing service – stingy with basics I had a very frustrating experience here. The staff was incredibly rude when we made a simple request for extra tissues. We were only given one, and when we asked for one more, the salesperson was dismissive and claimed they didn't have any. It’s hard to enjoy a meal when you feel like you’re bothering the staff just by asking for basic necessities. Won't be coming back.

07/01/2026: It would be good if they worked with gloves, but people don't work with gloves in the kitchen. When you handle money with gloves, you shouldn't touch the food with those same gloves.

25/08/2025: Unfortunately, it seems to be closed forever. 😢

02/08/2025: The bar here now is not the same one that garnered all the good reviews (against the grain). Google should reset the ratings, the bar here now is miserable.

21/02/2026: One Karin works there. Amazing personality 🤮

05/02/2026: Website said the cafe closes 9 pm but it is only 7:30 pm and the staff told me to leave and the sitting area is closed now. It is so small to even call a cafe. The have only 6 small tables and the staffs are also so rude.

31/05/2026: I wouldn’t even order this when I’m drunk or hungover. The curry sauce is ridiculously watery, the chips are disgusting, and the delivery takes forever.

22/05/2026: I wouldn’t feed the dogs with this food 🤢.Stay away

27/09/2025: Horrible service and not allergen-friendly whatsoever. I ordered an all-day egg works from there and was served by some grumpy old woman. When she cut the bagel she used a dirty knife that had been used just before mine. Gross enough already, except I have an allergy to cashew nuts and the knife had pesto on it. I asked if there was cashews in the pesto and she rudely asked my why. Even after explaining she just looked even more pissed off and used a slightly cleaner knife to cut a new bagel. Absolutely no manners and regard for health and safety. Could not recommend this dump less.

03/08/2025: The bagels are inedible, the cheese is microwaved instead of toasted which is strange but honestly the most disappointing thing is the service, the people working here have no manners honestly and will never return here, absolute waste of money. I work in retail as well and i understand you can't always be at your best but I got no hello or thank you back and the lady was just hostile to say the least and yelled at me instead of asking questions notmally. No comment

18/05/2026: Everything is done very quickly and efficient and the food is to die for. Everything is reasonably priced and staff are lovely

28/03/2026: Unfortunately, we encountered an awful situation. They were super discriminative against women. They were very disrespectful and awful when asked for an order, and made fun of us because we were from abroad. Never going back to this place.

12/09/2025: Gone very downhill. The service was always atrocious but the food made up for it. Now the food has gone properly downhill. The last few times it was very disappointing.

28/08/2025: this is genuinely the worst chinese in dublin, spicebag was full of disgusting greasy scabby chips with about 4 tiny pieces of chicken. curry sauce is greasy enough to give you a heart attack. chips and chicken taste like decade old oil aswell

06/02/2026: Undercooked, tiny portions and incredibly slow service.

18/01/2026: Undercooked chips and microwaved chicken.

19/11/2025: What a racket. Nearly €10 for 2 machine coffees and they were hardly drinkable. At least it is in keeping with the Irish Rail experience!

22/10/2025: The male barista’s attitude was just terrible. I ordered a wrap and asked him to heat it up because it had cheese inside, but he said “It’s not possible.” I mean, if a customer asks to have it heated, they should be able to do it, right? Also, I ordered a flat white with oat milk, but he gave me one with regular milk instead. That flatwhite was just like small cappuccino. Please be careful when you hire someone!!!!

11/02/2026: We booked a meal for eight of us on Jan 17th 2026 after the miss siagon show in Bord Gais. Firstly they hadn't got our booking but accommodated us after a little wait. The first notable thing was the really poor service. It was very obvious from the start that they had a lot of new waiting staff that were very poorly trained. All the staff that served us had little understanding of English and we had to repeat ourselves several times to make sure they got the correct orders. Two of our party were coeliacs and we had to explain this and wait until they checked with a manager every time we asked about it. Eventually they brought a supervisor over who was able to explain what was gluten free. To be honest we felt so sorry for the young staff that seemed out of their debt. Eventually when the food arrived, it was all right but just all right. For such a well known hotel the food was very average and disappointing, plain and very low standard. I would not recommend this to anyone unless overall standards improved.

24/12/2025: It says open today but its a big fat lie. They are closed the entire christmas. False advertising this.

15/12/2025: Grabbed two foot long Christmas subs on my way home. The bread was stale and the sub wasn’t very good! Really disappointing.

12/11/2025: How the hell did my 6 inch cost €10? And as an avid subway point collecter I didn’t get my points. I’ll be back for them though.
