The best restaurants in Dublin

13/12/2025: Amazing breakfast and friendly welcoming staff. Coffee was impressive, toast was massive, sausages out of this world. Came on the strength of their google rating, it is well deserved!

08/12/2025: My first, but DEFINITELY not my last, time in this joyous oasis of calm in a very frisky part of Dublin. (Artwork, both hanging & sculpture, is so beautifully curated and personal, btw, that it is a big part of the experience). I had the full Irish breakfast made to my personal specifications with no fuss whatsoever (apart from my own). When I changed my mind about the pot of tea, it was removed from both my bill and from my table! (Now that's class! 😎). The orange juice (and indeed apple, I did notice) is high-end pre-bottled, and served to one's preferred temperatures. Staff were uniformly kind and warm, as WELL as attentive and genuine. The owner/proprietor is obviously a gentleman. As previously stated, I do indeed intend to be back for this "breakfast of kings" (which actually served as my own breakfast/my late lunch AND as my early dinner, so generous were the portions on what was a very busy day). Amazingly: MANY other types of foods/meals/snacks/sandwiches/cakes/etc. are also available here! 😲 N.B.: Tem atendiamento em português 🇧🇷 também! 😎 PS.: "NOTA DEEEEEEZZZzzzz" (na voz do Carlos Impérial)!

18/03/2026: A little touch of France. Pleasant meal.

16/03/2026: Great time with Max! The service from Lisa was amazing! The food and suggestions were perfect!

09/03/2026: The most amazing food. I suggest you just ask your server to choose, because you can't. I think about that food way to much!

08/03/2026: Fabulous food, kind and wonderful service, and a night to remember! Stunned and so appreciative. I called a few days ahead to make a reservation and they fit me and my best friend on the bar. Showed up a few minutes before opening/our reservation and they kindly noticed and let us in. I had a fabulous drink "Bamboo" to start while my friend had prosecco. Later, getting a carafe of the house red. All drinks were spectacular. Nibbles: Local Irish oysters with rhubarb granita: I'm an oyster lover and these were plush and fabulous. Beef Tartare on potato: the potatoes were like pillows with light crunch, decadent and fresh tartare, and the egg yolk piped on the top made every bite the perfect one. (We ended up getting a second plate as 'dessert' later) Special of the day Quail Tortellini in stock: The depth of the stock was maybe the best I've had, slurped it all, and the tortellini was fab! Mains Quail & celeriac: OMG. Can't say ENOUGH! The way they butchered and prepared the quail, allowed for the perfect bite. The best quail I've had. Special highlight was the perfect quail breast. Cavatelli & mushrooms: FRESH. PASTA. the bite was perfect, not truly al dente, the texture showing all the benefits of the fresh pasta. I didnt even have to wonder/ask if fresh pasta was used, that's how impressive it was. Dessert Plums soaked and simmered in wine, shortbread cookie, cream: Wine completely cooked out, these tasted like oversized and plump Luxardo Cherries. The cream was light and held shape and the shortbread was not crumbly but didn't bend. Mastery. The service was quick, and the place being small added to the attention and the atmosphere. The whole team worked together to make sure we were taken care of. Jovial and kind, nothing but praise! 10/5!!!! I will be recommending this place to all who go to Dublin. My friend had lived there for months and agreed it was by far the best meal she'd had in the city. Yes it's not cheap but I feel the prices are fair and I did not feel short changed by portion size whatsoever.

25/03/2026: Utterly fantastic. Tortilla is a must.

20/03/2026: This place was recommended to me by a friend from London, so we made sure we visited when on a business trip to Dublin. It did not disappoint. The food and service were amazing! Will definitely be visiting again if I ever return to Dublin.

08/03/2026: If you're looking for a genuine, warm,cozy Irish pub that isn't packed full of tourists this is the spot to visit. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. The drinks are reasonably priced and the atmosphere is laid back and relaxed. And a massive plus is that they have cats in the pub. To me this is the icing on the cake.

07/03/2026: Great spot with lovely pints of Guinness 😀

10/03/2026: Great atmosphere with live music and great food - the beef and Guinness stew was delicious.

09/03/2026: Delicious food in a fantastic atmosphere with live music and exceptional service thanks to the attentive waiters. We went back two nights in a row because the food is truly delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed an authentic pub experience. We can't wait to return!

31/01/2026: Mallory was absolutely lovely and completely made the experience for us

30/01/2026: Really bad experience which is extremely disappointing. We were sat at the outside part of the restaurant. When we got our meal my partner was facing the glass frame around the restaurant where a man kept coming up to the glass and getting sick. We could see the sick and him hunched over for all of our dinner. There is a lady who works at the door and was standing there the whole time and never went out to tell him to leave. It took us to have to tell the host about the man in order for the woman to tell him to leave. Ruined the night completely for us. We were completely put off our food. For a high standard restaurant like this you shouldn’t have to sit down and watch someone get sick when you’re paying high prices.

30/03/2026: super cute and comfy place, the teriyaki tofu and sushi is amazing, and the staff are very polite and attentive!

29/03/2026: The best restaurant in Dublin. Very friendly staff, all the food is amazing - you really can’t go wrong!

29/03/2026: The ambiance and atmosphere is incredible, service is professional and top tier. One of the best restaurants I have every been to. They deserve 10 stars.......

20/03/2026: Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Highly recommended in Dublin.

03/01/2026: Great old Dublin pub, a must visit when in Dublin. Great atmosphere, excellent service and nice food at very good prices

01/01/2026: Nice bar with authentic old school features. Appreciated the lack of TV's and music. The Bar staff were indifferent at best and the vitamin G was just fine but not outstanding. Kitchen was closed so could not try the food, chef apparently is in "rehab"!

03/01/2026: We have been part of many weddings at No25 and it’s always unreal! This venue oozes character compared to many anaemic wedding venues, it’s intimate and weddings there are always fab. Stephen the manager/coordinator makes everything effortless and is so welcoming. Highly recommend you check this place out if you are looking for a great place to get married and celebrate in style!

31/12/2025: We attended a wedding here last week and credit where it's due, the place is incredible. Amazing food, beautiful setting, but it's the staff that really make it, so on the ball, on top of everything. Service is usually pretty good at weddings at nice venues so it's hard to stand out, but the staff at 25 really did. Special word for Stephen who really looked after us when it was needed.

21/02/2026: Food was really good! And Shannon was so sweet, definatelly recomend!

19/02/2026: Very attentive service, delicious food, and a very pleasant atmosphere.

19/02/2026: Definately loved it .First time but definately not the last 👍👏👏😊😁

18/02/2026: Great food, great service, beautiful bar, but loud.

24/03/2026: The Nashville Hot Chick was delicious and, the service by an girl called camila was extraordnary She was to attentive

23/03/2026: Cae was excellent. Superb service and really helpful!! Can’t wait to come back

20/03/2026: Absolutely delicious! Probably the best ice cream in Dublin or even Ireland! Most of the time quite busy though but they keep you entertained by giving you lots of tastings and even the very weird flavours like brown bread or sea salt are actually quite good. But the mango and the raspberry sorbet are just next level. Their ice cream cookie sandwich is amazing too, but it is already made and packaged, so it's only in vanilla flavour. Plus the shop itself is just super cute and the staff is amazing!

18/03/2026: Very little ice cream and very expensive
