The best restaurants in Dublin

23/12/2025: Great place and menu ,loved my break from work at this place

20/12/2025: Third Space Café in Smithfield is elite. Unreal coffee, unreal food, unreal vibes. From the second you walk in, the place just feels good — cozy, buzzing, and the kind of spot you accidentally stay way longer than planned. The coffee is consistently top-tier (never misses), the food is fresh and seriously tasty, and the staff are absolute legends — friendly, welcoming, and always up for a chat. It’s one of those rare cafés that actually feels like a community hub, not just a quick grab-and-go. If you’re anywhere near Smithfield and don’t go here, you’re doing it wrong. Massive recommendation ☕️🔥

13/01/2026: 5/5 seafood spot, hands down. The fish and chips were delicious and authentic - super crispy and perfectly moist. Being able to sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere that Howth has to offer is unmatched with a nice warm meal. The service was very prompt and friendly. Be aware that although we were lucky and got a table without waiting, there was a queue for pretty much the entire lunch hour after we sat down. At the longest point, I believe we saw around 30 people in queue. This was on a Sunday, between 11am - 2pm. If I'm ever back in Howth, I would 100% come back here!

11/01/2026: The quality of the service and the food was incredible. We had a wonderful meal and chatted with the staff. If we ever return to Howth, we will definitely eat at THIS restaurant. Thank you!

05/01/2026: Staff are incredibly vivacious and attentive. Food amazing.

03/01/2026: This is our “go to” in Terenure - we love the food and the service. Ricardo always makes us feel warm and welcome and we love the presentation and the food. We come all the way from Canada many times and never skip Bellagio in Terenure. I’d post a pic of one the dishes we had but cannot find that option here - Gracie mille, Bellagio!

04/10/2025: The place is beautiful, cosy and peaceful. The staff are all very kind and attentive. And the food is incredible!

02/10/2025: Such a cozy place, with tasty food and even better service! Felipe was lovely and picked out some delicious treats for me.

09/02/2026: Highly recommended for authentic Irish food! The staff is very friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and the food is delicious. Thank you!

09/02/2026: I had the vegetarian Irish breakfast...everything on it was perfect from the scrummy homemade baked beans to the heavenly potato cakes 💜

13/01/2026: A very cozy place to enjoy good food. Very nice stuff, i'm coming back really happy all the times. Highly recommended!

12/01/2026: Easy for quick dinner. We had bbq Korean and was fast service not expensive and good meat

11/02/2026: Booked for lunch after visiting the Guinness Storehouse. The beer flights offered had a delicious range of unique beers and the sharing platter had some really tasty food!

09/02/2026: We had an amazing time at the Guinness storehouse however the connoisseur experience was very different and special! Dan did an excellent presentation talking about the Guinness history. Very interesting! Thank you.

05/11/2025: I visited Chequer Lane by Jamie Oliver in Dublin for dinner, and the food was superb and amongst the best that I had during my time in the city. While there wasn't a dedicated gluten-free menu provided, my server talked me through the options and all the staff members had great knowledge of what I could and couldn't eat, I opted for the steak, which was served with a fresh garlic butter, the steak was delicious, had so much flavour and was cooked perfectly, and didn't even need any extra sauce, the fries again were so good, they were fresh, tasty and all the flavours had delivered. My only disappointment was in my cocktail - it was overloaded with ice and was almost like a slush. The other members of my party were also pleased with their food. The vibes inside the restaurant were really nice too - it felt premium yet with a modern twist so it didn't feel pretentious and you wouldn't feel out of place coming in after spending the day sightseeing around Dublin, it was that perfect combination. I'd return to Dublin alone for that steak!

04/11/2025: Excellent dinner. Burger. Beef tortellini. Old fashioned. Delicious!

26/01/2026: It looked good from the outside. I had a pretty decent burger, and my girlfriend ordered the duck wings, which were a revelation. We ordered a second portion to share. The fries are extra. We ordered the wings again the next night.

25/01/2026: Great food! Amazing customer service from Angela thanks so much. Duck wings have left chicken wings in the 18th century to die for!! I’ll never look at chicken wing in the same way

20/10/2025: This place has a very cute vibe! The food was delicious and the drinks were amazing. When I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to drink, the bartender personally came over and asked some questions to help recommend an amazing drink!

19/10/2025: Very cosy thay restaurant. Food was authentic thai and delicious.

04/02/2026: Our group of 11 were welcomed warmly upon arrival. Our drinks and food orders were taken promptly. The options on the menu were great. Plenty of choice. All of our food orders were exactly what we ordered. The staff were friendly and good fun. We meet every year in January and will be booking again for January 2027. Highly recommend the Treetop. You won't be disappointed.

08/01/2026: Always have a lovely dinner in here!! The trad music in the bar is great as well, great night out!

31/01/2026: Great tour with Guide Alice, 45 minutes just flew away. Nice tasting at the end of the tour.

31/01/2026: Had such a fun experience getting to know the history of the distillery and Jameson. Our guide Alice was lovely, fun and engaging!

07/09/2025: Beanhive? More like Queuehive. This place should hand out sleeping bags with every order, because you’ll be here long enough to consider filing for squatter’s rights. I waited so long for a sandwich I started a new life, paid taxes, and raised a family in the queue. And yet… when it finally landed in front of me, it was incredible. Annoyingly good. The kind of sandwich that makes you angry because you can’t even stay mad at it. So yeah, Beanhive on Dawson Street: where time stands still, staff move at the speed of interpretive dance, and the food is frustratingly delicious.

06/09/2025: The business is very good during breakfast time and the food tastes very good👌

12/08/2025: The čevapčići !!! We asked to half it, because the portion for one person is large, and we had sides of ajvar and kajmak sauce for it! All we had was so so delicious and well prepared - all ingredients were top quality!!! They have a wide range of Balkan dishes, so Davor promised me THE best moussaka; it will be what I am trying next time 🫶🏼

07/08/2025: My favorite place in Dublin. Not only local food but you can hear our language all around you. Great place when you get nostalgic. The best thing is that they have great Turkish coffee.

08/01/2026: Cosy pub, takeaway pizza from across the way lovely, decent Guinness, a bit out of the way

02/01/2026: A Christmas tradition, very friendly family run pub with a great atmosphere and a 10/10 food truck the goats gruff in there parking lot. Couldn’t recommend the place enough.
