The best restaurants in Dublin

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.

18/09/2025: It was alright, I only got the wrappos and they were actually good but the prawn crackers were beyond stale, tasted like rubber and we weren't allowed to bring our own drinks in. There was also vey minimal seating here

15/10/2025: No staff and place is dirty as hell Very back service.

13/10/2025: Didn't look the cleanest on arrival. The machine for ordering didn't present a receipt. In fairness, not unusual for McDonald's everywhere. Unfriendly staff. Food passable. The most tasteless Big Mac I've ever had. Coke zero flat. All the tables and seats were filthy. The toilet was absolutely disgusting. Men's toilet had a used nappy dumped in the corner. Will definitely not be back

28/07/2025: €17 for burger meal in Dundrum.Looked good.No real taste off meat ,bun,kettuce or tomato.No nice sauce included? Burger was black on both sides and mot cooked in the middle.Im sure how they can justify the price?Certainly wasnt Gourmet quality.

30/05/2025: The fun began with their self-serve machine, which decided twice that it simply could not be bothered. I stood there like a chimp with an iPad, repeatedly stabbing the frozen screen while a queue formed behind me, full of people wondering whether they too would live long enough to place an order. Eventually, after what felt like a lifetime, the order limped through the system. Fifteen minutes later my number was finally called, but not before they managed to turn what should have been a simple handover into a full-blown drinks disaster. My Coke was launched across the counter like a low-budget stunt scene, showering three innocent customers. Unsurprisingly, this did not go down well. And then the burger arrived. Technically, it was a double patty burger. In reality, it was a cheap, greasy, structural catastrophe. The patties themselves looked exhausted — thin, grey, oily, and completely devoid of any real flavour. The cheese had melted into limp flaps, drooping sadly over the sides like melted plastic. And as if to ensure the whole thing was completely impossible to eat, they had crammed in a ridiculous slab of lettuce the size of a small parasol. It stuck out like the sails of a boat, making any attempt to pick it up result in an immediate collapse of the entire construction. This was not one of those indulgent, guilty pleasure burgers you rave about to your friends. It was a cheap, greasy mess you finish only because you feel too ashamed to throw it away. Gourmet Burger Kitchen needs to sort its technology, train its staff not to spill drinks on customers, and — most importantly — go back to sourcing proper burger meat. Because at the moment, it is a very long way from gourmet.

28/09/2025: I ordered beef with mushroom and oyster sauce and it looked nothing like any beef with oyster sauce I ever had in my life. It was actually not edible, it smelled awful, and it was super pale. I am so disappointed. I typically never leave reviews, and the people who work there seem nice but the food is absolutely dreadful. I don’t know if I could eat this even in an apocalypse.

27/08/2025: 16 euro for a muchie box with 4 pieces of shredded chicken 🤣🤣🤣 absolute joke

31/07/2025: Worst dining experience of my life. I ordered udon noodles with prawns and teriyaki sauce, and what I got was honestly the worst udon I’ve ever had. It felt more like teriyaki with a side of udon than the other way around. The dish was made with zero care or attention, completely lacking in love or effort. Extremely disappointing. Save your money and stay away from this shop!!! 🤯

07/09/2025: The initial professional welcome by the chap on duty was my highlight, thereafter it was interesting as this dinky and oh so trendy eaterie beyond the ladies 'leisure shoes' section positively leaked customers. No 'Front of House' staff stationed at the entrance, with, it seems, only two staff seemed manning the fort, a third on barista duty. We watched bemused as ignored and impatient ladies walked away while the priority seemed to be to clear tables. Ok, to the food: elegantly presented maple bacon croissant for me and a chorizo hash were tasty brunch items with decent herbal teas and coffees. Two poached eggs with each were cooked perfectly and the croissant was good for the 'mopping-up'. There's a good buzz in and around this place so maybe BTs has finally got a good café formula. Tweaks will come and the hard-working staff will hopefully get some leadership..

01/08/2025: Kinda Terrible... Order: Chorizo Hash (€17.50), Chicken Wrap (€15.50), 2 × Americano (€8.40). Total: €41.40. for a below average brunch. The chorizo hash was mishandled twice. First plate arrived with hard-cooked eggs; when I queried it, the response was awkward with the waiter, another staff member rescued the situation from afar. The second plate swung the other way: the egg whites were undercooked and runny, you know like snotty egg white (gag) and the dish was over-sauced and oily. The chicken wrap and coffees were fine, and the room is pleasant, but at these prices I expect consistency and properly poached eggs. Service was willing; execution wasn’t. Bottom line: disappointing overall — we won’t be back. I'd suggest, don't waste your time / money here.

29/09/2025: The breakfast is good, but the lunch menu is terrible and the same thing every day: pasta, pizza, sandwiches. They look good, but the taste is hard to describe... Why can't there be a proper restaurant on campus? Is it difficult to offer different dishes every day or a semi-buffet restaurant?

05/09/2025: The food is very bad! The problem with Gather&Gather is that we make beautifully looking food, but unfortunately it tastes bad. Also, why don't we have normal food menus like all the other universities? TCD has different lunch menus everyday with at least four options including chicken curry, grilled beef, fish and chips...lots of options and true lunch food!

16/09/2025: I have a complaint about this place: every time I buy my favorite coffee, it doesn't taste good. They are stingy with the caramel, or on one occasion they gave me one that wasn't what I ordered. Also, the coffee isn't so cheap that they don't put love into it... I hope it improves.

28/06/2025: A meagerly stocked franchise. The cappuccino I had was watery and unpleasant. A cappuccino should be a light and frothy morning drink, not a scalding hot insipid latte.

06/09/2025: Self service machines always out, hard to order anything there.

28/08/2025: Good service. The taste is just above average. Dine in spaces are available there.

01/09/2025: Very bad swimming in grease not nice

30/08/2025: Incredibile how a portion of chips is now 4.50eur. in there, they never give you a receipt and they also cheap out on the size of a single portion. I was literally able to count the chips in the bag.

27/07/2025: Ordered from Mizzoni’s several times, always hit or miss. Today was especially poor. long wait, had to walk to meet the driver, and the food was cold. Pizza wasn’t even fully cut. Overall, really bad service.

17/03/2025: I placed an order via just eat, the food arrived 40 minutes late, missing and incorrect food items and absolutely freezing cold and when I called the restaurant they hung up on me both times. Avoid

23/05/2025: You dont see much of Dublin and after a while it gets boring. Not in Temple Bar at all. There are better ways to spend an evening, disappointed. Go bowling instead.

11/05/2025: I do not recommend booking this. I was on a stag do the weekend just gone and arranged the pedal bike tour for 9 people costing €270. The reviews and the website describes the tour as lively, you get a tour of Dublin, the leader gives good banter, stories and the pubs you stop off at are excellent. 4 pubs in total and the last one is great. Here’s the reality - you meet at the Lombard before you begin which is a great pub. Then you stop off at 2 pubs - both overpriced, terrible pubs before returning to the Lombard! The leader says hardly anything during the tour, you see nothing of Dublin and the bikes have definitely seen better days. It’s a complete rip off for €270 and I recommend not doing this!

07/06/2025: I grabbed lunch from this small but functional Subway kiosk inside the petrol station. Service was simple and fast. I would go again.

07/06/2025: Worst subway I've had in 20 years. The ham served here was not fresh at all, borderline out of date. Oily and tasted really bad. The counter was not clean at all and plenty of ingredients were all spilled on top of each other. I think the managers need to improve the hygiene standards.

10/06/2025: The pizza was delicious. I especially liked the milkshake.

17/05/2025: Another disappointing experience at the apache newlands cross. Yet again they have managed to mess up an order leaving out items ordered or delivering the wrong item. When I called the store back to inform them and to have it corrected, they were very rude and were reluctant to correct it. I had to press the point for him to at least credit my account for which let's face it the guy on the phone was so rude I'm doubtful he has even done that. Do I have confidence they will improve their customer service, unfortunately No. Apache Head Office should really audit how franchises are managed and the quality of the customer service provided.

12/09/2025: Best spice bag I ever had I bring all my mates here. Nothing hits better then an andrews spice bag man

07/07/2025: In fairness I haven’t eaten in Andrews since Covid began. I checked the menu tonight to discover that for example Malaysian curry but no description of what’s in the curry. Just extras ie Boiled rice or fried rice. Yes you can pick your protein or veg but what else s as re they putting in. Also how hot is the curry
