The best restaurants in Dublin

07/07/2026: As hotel guests, we dined at Café 1920 a couple of nights ago and were blown away by the service. We didn’t catch the name of our young Brazilian server, but he was exceptional. He was warm, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, and took the time to chat with us about where we were visiting from and his own time in Ireland, which made us feel incredibly welcome on our first trip to Dublin. He truly made our experience memorable and is a real credit to your team.

26/06/2026: I visited your restaurant on Wednesday and ordered the Beef and Guinness Stew, which was absolutely delicious. I was also very impressed by the professional and friendly service provided by Anastasiia. Thank you for such a wonderful experience — I will definitely be returning to your restaurant in the future!

17/07/2026: My friend and I had a wonderful few hours in this historical museum and garden. We both have mobility issues but our problems were resolved by Muireann in reception who advised us how best to access the building by taxi. She was exceptional in her welcome and friendliness and it made our day. She also had an extensive knowledge of the building/ Pierce family history etc. Well done Muireann.👏👏👏👏🙏

14/07/2026: Unbelievable. Never knew this place existed . Beautiful walks and a lovley café at the end of it all Can't wait to go back and visit the museum.

01/08/2026: Great place ! Food is delicious!!!

30/07/2026: Food was delicious, affordable and I'm satisfied with the quality and portion size, great for a big eater and they've great sushi

13/07/2026: Beautiful and truly authentic location. A local sitting next to me explained this is one of Dublin’s historic pubs. Lots of locals, few tourists, the atmosphere is incredible, with people just genuinely wanting to spend time together chatting and playing cards. The bartender was exceptionally kind and attentive, with remarkable sensitivity. There were two of us in wheelchairs, and despite it being Friday night, he found us a comfortable table and served us with genuine care for our needs. Highly recommended! We returned with great pleasure the next evening to watch a World Cup match, and the experience was equally spectacular.

08/07/2026: Watched a world cup game after work with a lovely pint of Guinness

23/07/2026: Best salads I have had everything was banging with amazing flavours and great service.

21/07/2026: I had the BEST SANDWICH OF MY LIFE here. Pillowy delicious focaccia, aubergine croquettes with a pickled slaw and a gingery sauce, it was huge and it was amazing. Super kind staff too.

24/06/2026: We had a fantastic dinner at Jaipur Dalkey. The staff is extremely attentive and we felt welcome right away! They are very knowledgeable and aware of gluten intolerance and celiac disease. The food was very tasty and we had a lovely evening. Thank you!

21/06/2026: Spectacular!!! I had a wonderful time there and was incredibly well looked after by Santosh our TREMENDOUS server. I can't recommend him enough. Put the heater on, prepared us for wait times and even brought water for the dog! 🐕

06/07/2026: Food is authentic Mexican food. Tacos had a great taste, full of flavour. Portions were enough for lunch. Food is highly recommended. Beer is very expensive.

01/07/2026: The Birria Tacos are the nicest thing I've ever eaten! Lovely staff and so authentically Mexican. I loved it!

07/07/2026: We chose Etto based on its outstanding reviews and beautiful photos of the food, expecting a memorable dining experience. Unfortunately, it ended up being one of our most disappointing meals in Ireland. The presentation and execution of the food simply didn’t match the reputation. I ordered the cavatelli, which was gummy and carelessly plated. My wife ordered the monkfish, but it was noticeably overcooked and rubbery. After sending it back, she was chose to trythe pork loin instead, but it was also overcooked and lacked tenderness. And although my wife only took two bites of the replacement dish, it still remained on the bill. We weren’t expecting a free meal, but we did expect better quality control and a more thoughtful resolution given the circumstances. We understand that every restaurant can have an off night, but based on our experience, the meal fell well short of the expectations set by the reviews and I would not recommend it

28/06/2026: The food was nothing short of exceptional - whoever put nduja on mussels should be able to retire from the proceedings of this idea. The service was very attentive, super friendly, and informed about all the meals and wines... The venue was described somewhere as quiet, calm and cosy - it was none of those things, which is hard to pull off positively, but they managed it: a happy, noisy crowd having a perfect time with good hosts and perfect food: silence was not missed. neither was space. we had a great meal and a very nice evening!

16/07/2026: 5/5 and you know why? BECAUSE ITS FREE! As it should be always. Culture is for the people and must be always like this. Even the lockers were free… I mean love it. No lines. Amazing collection. Nice building. 10/10

16/07/2026: very nice and recommended museum, also free

01/08/2026: Peak experience, great pizza (from Italian eh)

01/08/2026: Very chill and nice people, hosted us for a long time even through they didn’t have much space, love them🫶

31/07/2026: Really extensive wine list and the food is good too. They even have Georgian wine which I believe is hard to come by in Dublin! Good location and atmos too.

20/07/2026: Awesome place to sip wine on the streets of Dublin! Met cool locals and the service and selection were amazing! Prices are fine too. If you’re looking for a glass of wine, don’t hesitate to come here!

26/07/2026: These are our top eats in Dublin. Grove Road Cafe - for brunch (we went twice) situated right on the canal, breakfast with a view. Irish cafes have a smaller menu on weekdays but still served bangers. Didn't hurt that it was opposite our hotel. Great spot if your in the Camden/Portobello area. Super attentive service, if they spilled your coffee even a little bit, came straight back with a new saucer. Poached eggs always popped, flat whites on point. Benny’s to die for (thats brunch talk for Eggs Benedict). Weekends have a fuller menu including a Frenchie (French Toast) and a Brisket Benny. Weekdays the Poached eggs with pesto was class, and so were the pancakes. We got straight in during the week, and had a short wait on the Sunday

07/07/2026: The food was amazing and the staff are really friendly.

28/07/2026: The coffee was great, the salted caramel brownie was amazing and the atmosphere very cozy. The staff was friendly and it was probably the first clean toilet in Dublin I saw in two days.

28/07/2026: The staff really know what they’re talking about, and are so fun and friendly. The coffee was great too.

22/07/2026: Outstanding seafood and good prices

19/07/2026: Excellent all round food fab staff friendly and professional great atmosphere

25/06/2026: Forever coming back for the ice chai

12/06/2026: Stopped by here for some blue matcha. The matcha and the staff were phenomenal
