The best restaurants in Dublin

30/06/2026: Charming irish bar, around the corner from Heuston station. Great place to have a pint. I'm told the Guinness is excellemt

24/06/2026: If you're near this lovely pub, take time to pay a visit. The service is great, and the whole place is very well run. The staff are great, they're friendly and enjoy "the banter" with the customers. If you need a telly there's an abundance of them, no need to miss your game, race etc. They have two music sessions per week, on Thursday and Saturday. I've been there on Saturdays, and the group is excellent. An eclectic mix of....you name it. The musicians display a rare generosity and allow customers to perform with them. Great mix of people as well, thanks to the proximity of several hotels etc. The locals are wonderful too, friendly, helpful and witty. I usually only go on Saturday, and they have a rota of staff; George, Jack, Melissa, Gabriella and Maria will cater for your every need, with a friendly smile, quips and indeed chips. Well done my lovely people. Oh !! and the pints are Par Excellence, and all other drinks as well. Try it for yourself. ENJOY TOTOMAC.

02/07/2026: Absolutely loved this place! The food portions are incredibly generous, the coffee is absolutely delicious, and the whole place has such a great vibe. Friendly atmosphere, excellent quality, and definitely worth a visit.

25/06/2026: Had the franks chicken Benedict which was great and the service was top notch

17/07/2026: Food was just okay. We had to send the Caesar salad back as it was very mushy, but the onion rings were lovely. The garden terrace has a really nice atmosphere and I’d definitely recommend sitting outside. It was a lovely way to spend the evening. A special mention to Mario, who provided excellent, friendly service

16/07/2026: Nice restaurant at Hilton Kilmainham

03/07/2026: I was here 3 years ago and gave it a 5-star review. But I went back again yesterday and was disappointed. I ordered the choripan argento. I asked if I could swap the eggs for something else as I can't eat them. They said no. So I ended up paying €16.40 for one small slice of toast, with some salsa and one sausage. I was still hungry leaving. They tried to push a to go coffee when we were paying.

03/07/2026: My wife and I were visiting Ireland for five nights and were looking for somewhere special to have breakfast. Thankfully, my wife came across Alma, and from the moment we walked in we knew we’d found a gem. From start to finish, the whole experience was outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and attentive. A special mention has to go to the gentleman who was organising all the tables and seating – he was fantastic and made everyone feel welcome while keeping everything running so smoothly. Every member of staff went above and beyond, and the food was absolutely delicious. We loved it so much that it became our go-to breakfast spot, and we ended up coming back every single morning during our stay. Not once over the five visits were we disappointed. The food, coffee, service and atmosphere were consistently exceptional every single time. If you’re looking for the perfect breakfast or brunch in Dublin, I honestly couldn’t recommend Alma highly enough. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Ireland!

11/07/2026: Unbelievable place, best Avocado-salmon sandwich I’ve ever had

11/07/2026: The best breakfast I’ve ever had! The avocado toast was to die for and the breakfast bagel was out of this world. The coziest place with the most amazing staff. This is a must try spot and I will recommend this to everyone!

25/05/2026: 19,20€ for two jagger shots. Shameless

23/05/2026: We went there the other night as soon as we arrived in Dublin. The place has a typically Irish feel, well-maintained, and a great atmosphere. There was live music, so it was quite lively during happy hour. There's a good selection of beers, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Recommended!

23/07/2026: Hands down the best place in the borough for a gelato 🍨. Boris’ is a true gentleman and it’s clear from the quality of his product and the service that he offers that he’s very passionate about what he does! Thanks as always.

20/07/2026: Boris has a lovely shop, and serves beautiful ice cream, and has always made me feel very welcome.

17/06/2026: We booked ELY wine bar for our friends Hen party. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Never an empty wine glass, always filled. The food was delicious and there were many options available to suit everyone. Would highly recommend coming here for an event.

16/06/2026: We visited Ely with a large group and booked their private dining area. Everything was great, the food was lovely and the service was amazing, any questions we had before our event was also answered very quickly and they were very helpful in every aspect. We would definitely return again for our next event.

13/07/2026: Great food and prices. Also a great place to eat if you're going to croke park

13/07/2026: One of the best pubs I have been to, Especially wonderful was the staff, and quality of food was nothing shy of superb. Little joy of this visit was the waitress who was humming along good music and was one of friendliest persons we met today! This is without a doubt place to visit again and again!

26/05/2026: We had a great experience at Milano - Temple Bar! Delicious food, quick and friendly service (Corina was great!), and not as expensive as some other nearby restaurants. Highly recommend!

25/05/2026: Overall and enjoyable meal. We thought the food was very nice and good value.

15/07/2026: I really like Zambrero but until they stop ripping people off with charging €2 for a teaspoon of guacamole, I’ll continue to give low star ratings. I’d happily even pay more for a reasonable size but the bag of chips need 3-4x this much

09/07/2026: Great good and very friendly staff. Special shout out to Luciana. Great customer service skills. 😍

28/09/2025: Stopped in for a pint and to hang a FD patch. Staff were great and made me take a selfie with it.

28/09/2025: Very pleasant atmosphere, great service, and good food. For such an iconic place, it's not overly expensive compared to other places in Dublin.

05/08/2026: It was a very nice experience. Cinnamon bun was good. If you’re looking for size - go to Morilles. If you’re looking for price - go to UCD Poolside cafe. If you’re looking for a the best cinnamon bun ever - go to caffeine coffee shop in Tallinn Old Town. But for a good cinnamon bun go no further. And there was a cornucopia of alternatives if you aren’t going first a cinnamon bun. The coconut matcha was good but for five stars they could knock a euro off the €6.50 price.

05/08/2026: I was in Dublin for a couple of days and Cornucopia stuck out as one of the surprisingly few decent options for vegan food. It didn't disappoint. The breakfast tortilla was an unusual offer for that time of day, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was good value for money. My only criticism is that there seems to be mixed messaging as to whether this place is vegan or vegetarian/vegan. I'm still not 100% sure that my cinnamon roll had no dairy in it?

07/06/2026: Catherine and pat were absolutely lovely. Pizzas were smashing

04/06/2026: Staff are really sound pizza is class!

18/07/2026: Excellent breakfast at Mister Magpie Coffee! Delicious products, a warm welcome, and a very pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend this place.

18/07/2026: Excellent coffee, delicious morning bun. Quiet location, right next to St Stephen's Green. Very friendly staff.
