The best restaurants in Dublin

01/01/2026: I visited this Starbucks on New Year’s Day, and the experience was very disappointing. The staff was extremely rude and showed no concern for customer opinions or basic service. I ordered coffee along with pastries, but they didn’t provide any plates or spoons instead they gave us in a paper bag. When I later asked for them, there was no response for about 10 minutes. Eventually, a staff member came back and said all the plates were being washed, without any apology or effort to help. They also didn’t call out names when the coffee was ready, which added to the confusion. Overall, the store was not customer-friendly at all. The staff gave unwelcoming looks whenever I asked for assistance, especially one female staff member who seemed visibly annoyed every time a question was asked. This was a very poor experience, especially for a brand that is known for customer service. I would not recommend this location.

01/01/2026: I politely asked a staff member to add whipped cream to my 7-year-old daughter’s hot chocolate, as it was missing when we received it. Instead of being helpful, the female employee showed a very poor and unprofessional attitude. I felt truly insulted. I am Asian and she is Asian as well (I believe she is Korean), so this does not appear to be racial discrimination. I have been a regular customer, coming here every weekend, but due to this experience, I will never come back.

20/08/2025: 20/08/25 Undercooked Portion of sausage, top part was hot and bottom not even Luke warm. 🧐

20/05/2025: Ordered sunday evening 10 oclock roughly This place gave me food poisoning I have been vomiting the last 24 hours. Would avoid this chinese because i have never been so sick in years

18/08/2025: Rude and they give you a hand full of chips terrible value

18/08/2025: This chipper can’t be for real the portions are tiny. You make me ashamed to be Irish

31/12/2025: Always good service & great food! Churros were like a religious experience last time I had them here 🌅

10/12/2025: Absolute disgrace to what Apache used to be. Pizza is paper thin, no sauce and the garlic bread tastes like a buttered roll. Also came with a free piece of plastic to chew on, avoid at all costs. Update: tried again, still gross

24/11/2025: This place used to be nicer but it's not anymore. The new options aren't that good and they don't even give crisps on the side. It has a nice vibe but they've got a lot worse over the years.

15/08/2025: The guy who served me was quite rude, and the coffee wasn’t the one I ordered.

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.

08/11/2025: Very disappointing experience. The Szechuan duck was sour, the vegetables were raw, and the rice tasted stale. Overall, the meal was completely uneatable. I won’t be ordering from here again.

19/09/2025: Food is nice but way over priced. €7 for a small tray of curry chips that had a drizzle of sauce ? €7.50 for 5 chicken balls. I won't be ordering again.

09/12/2025: Order: chicken chop suey with fried noodles. Food: slightly above average chop suey. Not excellent, not bad, but reasonably good. They followed my instruction no celery, and the tray wasn’t overloaded with onion. Noodles were a bit oily but had decent flavour. Overall acceptable, though nothing that stands out. 7/10 Portion: standard size, fully fair for this type of dish. Service: simple packaging – plastic tray for the main, plastic tray for the noodles, basic brown paper bag. No napkins, no chopsticks, no cutlery. Functional but very minimal. 6/10 Price: typical for Dublin, neither cheap nor overpriced. 6/10 Overall: 7/10. Decent value, slightly better than average taste, nothing surprising. Likely to return.

14/12/2025: Very unfortunate that the food delivery went awfully wrong but I was accused of deliberately tricking them. Never placed an order from this place nor will I ever again. Very sad indeed!

16/11/2025: This place has been consistently excellent for myself and everyone I've recommended it to. The curries are beautiful and if you're unsure what to order, the staff are more than accommodating to help you. The waiting time for delivery is always quick. I must also mention all the chicken is proper fresh breast meat. Also the portions aren't left short. Can't recommend enough.

27/12/2025: This is a chipper you really need to try. The fresh cod is massive and lovely. Chips are home made and the delevery service is fast. If you are in the area, make sure you pop in or go online and order. The pizzas are to die for also. Well recommended to everyone.

14/12/2025: Doner kebab had barely any sauce or cabbage was just meat and pitta so dry , burger had the tiniest bit of lettuce and mayo and the chips were soggy

25/11/2025: Very nice place! Thanks to Iulia from the deli!

16/11/2025: Staff are unbelievably rude. Witnessed a staff member dealing the person behind me in the queue and she was so unprofessional. The woman asked for a sandwich and she said could she have it toasted, the woman behind the till said “yeah well you have to show me which one you want like” she couldn’t have said it any cheekier if she tried. The woman behind me was a bit upset after the interaction and I was disgusted. It takes absolutely nothing to be nice to someone, especially when it’s this time of the year.

17/08/2025: If you want a tasteless, dry burger, sauce should be optional! and bad fries for €21, go for it.

13/08/2025: Enjoyed the braised short ribs. I also got to try the Guinness bread(recommend).

01/03/2025: This restaurant is labeled as covered even though it's closed, I don't understand at all. Why are we going around in circles now? It's not nice.

22/02/2025: Doesn't look open whatsoever, don't go here.

11/01/2026: Went here for a sub, asked for lettuce, tomato, red onion and chipotle and they only had onion. My partner asked for a sub with just bacon on it and they put 3 strips of small bacon on it and then they said they would have to charge extra for more (first time I ever seen this) Staff were rude and argumentative especially considering their slogan is ‘eat fresh’ yet they have no salads… we told them we didn’t want the subs and left. Went to airside subway instead and we got a completely different experience. Won’t return to this location ever again.

22/11/2025: The person who was working on this day give me a bad experience for cost of my order 2 half sandwich for 44 euro as we know the prices of subways allover the world this kind of restaurants anyway is a personal behavior that is....😑😑

24/06/2025: Dirt. Used to be good. Chicken was pink last week. Im a loyal customer. These people have an excuse always. Cash only tax dodgers! Im sick of the service here. Avoid! Go to others in ballyer

14/05/2025: I ordered a spice bag no veg and large coke got i received veg in my spice bag and no drink was changed for everything when i phoned up jullie was not very helpful keep saying yes like she didn’t care i will never eat out of there again not the first time this had happened
