The best restaurants in Dublin

24/09/2024: went there around 8:30 so maybe we were stuck with the leftovers but the ramen was bland as water. gyoza was stiff like it was a piece of toffee or something. took ages to digest felt it sittin in me stomach for an hour or so after. go anywhere else. kinda sad cause other reviews are so good

18/07/2024: Unfortunately this place has been closed since 6/11 per their Instagram :(

28/09/2025: Fegan’s 1924 Café is one of those places you walk into and instantly feel something special. It has a charming style — a mix of vintage touches and comfort — that gives it character without feeling forced. The interior is cozy but well thought out, with seating that lets you relax without feeling crammed. Its location is excellent — well placed, easy to get to, yet with enough of its own space so it doesn’t feel swallowed by busy streets. That balance is important, and Fegan’s manages it nicely. The staff are warm, friendly, and genuinely seem to care. From greeting you when you walk in to checking in during your visit, they make the place feel welcoming. It doesn’t feel transactional — you notice the care. This is absolutely a café you’d go to when you want to slow down, enjoy a good coffee or snack, perhaps read or chat, and soak up a relaxed ambiance. It’s well worth a visit for anyone in the area or looking for a spot with soul.

16/11/2024: I love this bar. Lovely vibe. Great to for a pint in the afternoon and the staff are generally lovely. However, my friend came here wasn’t drinking but had Guinness zero and was part of a larger group and 4 rounds in asked for another Guinness zero as part of the round, which the staff had earlier produced with no issue, change of bar staff and was told no Guinness Zero as it was located in the other section of the bar and to quote the bar man when questioned as to why Guinness Zero couldn’t be got, when the other staff members had provided it he said “I’m not that guy!” - clearly not, terrible experience!

16/06/2025: Buen ambiente, buenos precios (para la zona) y buena música. Alejado de los otros pubs irlandeses de la zona en cuanto a estilo y clientela

13/05/2025: EL pub en Dublín - Se siente como en casa! Histórico, encantador pub vintage de la vieja escuela con el famoso Snug! Seguro que el mejor pin Guinness (ssss) que he probado, tan fresco, cremoso y perfectamente aprovechado por bartenders muy agradables, amables y divertidos! Conocí nuevos amigos irlandeses nacidos y vivos en The Snug; ¡una de las mejores noches que he tenido! Como me dijo el muchacho irlandés: ¡Eres más irlandés que el ppl más irlandés!” ¡Gracias por recibirnos!

22/03/2024: This cafe used to be a regular stop for me for coffee and/or food. Since Covid, I've been an infrequent visitor. What a change. And not for the good. Yes, the coffee is good. And possibly anything else that doesn't require the input of a cook. My scrambled eggs were a travesty on a plate. Basic cooking techniques absent. The eggs were not whisked properly and so seriously overcooked (burnt edges) The staff are friendly, and keen to help. But when a server coughs frequently without any attempt to cover their mouth it begs the question what training, if any, these people have been given? This does not bode well for Idlewilde. I hope positive changes are made.

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.

15/10/2024: Why did this place close all of a sudden? Will it ever open back up?

21/07/2024: Pleasant atmosphere with plenty of tables to eat at.

22/10/2024: Food was late and cold We found rodent droppings pressed to the outside of the bag

31/07/2024: Thanks to the two lads working the night shift, good burger and chips

28/05/2025: This place has been closed a year. Submitted multiple edits on Google Maps and you still haven’t changed it to permanently closed.

10/11/2024: Estaba lloviendo afuera y frío. El restaurante era agradablemente cálido. No teníamos una reserva, pero amablemente nos ofrecieron una mesa. El excelente estante de carne de cordero y ternera nos levantó el ánimo.

08/07/2024: Muy excelente menú de temprano. Muy buena relación calidad-precio. El restaurante era tranquilo, pero la decoración preciosa y el personal era eficiente. Realmente hermoso filete y postre muy memorable.

28/07/2024: Ordered kebab, it smelled like hot garbage (i swear this is not an exaggeration) and the food was SOOO bland i doubt there was even salt. 2 bites then garbage where it belongs.

22/07/2024: Very poor taco fries here recently. I arrived to collect my order and they had not noticed it on the system. They asked me to wait 5 minutes which I did. At the same time some customers ordered taco fries. When I got the order home the portion of taco fries was laughable for over 10 euro. Very few fries and pretty much just covered in sauce. Would not recommend here. Very bad experience
