The best restaurants in Dublin

11/11/2025: Terrible management and poor organization overall. They don’t care about staff or proper training. Be careful with the food sometimes it’s old and not stored correctly. Definitely wouldn’t recommend working or eating here.

05/11/2025: Shop's awesome, especially Debbie

11/05/2026: The food was delicious and excellent! We requested two Benedict eggs but only received one,I simply ordered a pan cake thing(forgot the name) and departed

29/04/2026: We were regular customers because of the burgers and chips, unfortunately on our last visit a couple of nights ago we found that the burgers and truffle chips have changed. We ordered 2 Massey Fergusons and a Po Boy, the Masseys were overcooked and charred around the edges and the burger overall has less flavor. The Po Boy is now spicy and with different dressings than before, not the same burger, we checked older photos we took of the food, and it's not same. Finally, the truffle fries are also served differently, they have a lot more paprika on them and they are not crispy. It seems our favorite burgers have been ruined.

02/11/2025: Unpleasant experience last night at La Gordita for my birthday. We arrived on time and were seated at the bar. The staff were chatting with the two couples next to us, explaining the menu and taking their drinks orders. By the time our waiter came over, their food was already arriving. No one explained the menu to us, and the waiter seemed a bit sniffy when we ordered a cheap bottle of wine. The food itself was average. The crab salad was a highlight, but the garlic in the prawns was burnt and the Spanish omelette wasn’t a proper tortilla it was just a flat omelette topped with slices of potato and chorizo. Generally boring flavours and small portions. Staff checked in with the tables around us as they got their food - but not with us. After finishing the tapas we’d ordered, we were still hungry. When the waiter asked if we’d had enough and we said no, he just handed us the dessert menu and said “great.” We ended up leaving after about an hour - no dessert - and felt like just getting our coats back was asking too much. Not sure if it was because we looked young or like tourists, but the service felt frosty and unwelcoming. The host did check in once and the lady who took over the bill was nice, but overall the experience was disappointing. Wouldn’t recommend this place for a special occasion. I’d be really annoyed if I’d booked it expecting a treat based on the Michelin guide. We spent €140 on five tapas dishes, were largely ignored and left hungry. Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else.

01/11/2025: Top service and Spanish tapas. Staff were all awesome.

09/04/2026: The National Museum of Ireland on Kildare Street is a must-see for anyone interested in history. The prehistoric gold collection is breathtaking, and seeing the bog bodies up close is an incredible, albeit slightly eerie, experience. The building itself is a Victorian masterpiece, and since admission is free, it’s an easy addition to any Dublin itinerary. It's well-organized and perfect for a quiet hour or two of exploring Ireland's ancient past.

08/04/2026: It's one of the few free museums in Dublin, with many pieces from the protohistoric period. A more didactic explanation of the collections would be welcome. There are some particularly interesting pieces, such as two Iron Age "mummies"—corpses preserved thanks to their location in oxygen-deprived marshy areas. There are also many Celtic artifacts, a significant collection of goldwork, and Viking artifacts.

22/04/2026: Just back from there with husband and kids. Really really good place, food was delicious, kids meals were quite big, very reasonable prices and very tasty, I got Caesar salad and husband got the loaded potatoes skins, every thing was eaten, and it was all so tasty and price for all was very good value. Girl that served us was also so nice. Will be back!! ETA i have to say this place is gone downhill, I think they changed the chef, food is terrible, chicken wings were obviously lying there and then re heated because the meat was hard, husband got Guinness and it was really bad, we have tried this place a few times hoping it was a once off but no, awful so won't be back unfortunately.

23/03/2026: Staying with work in The West County Hotel and went for walk in Phoenix Park. Called in here for bite to eat and a drink on way back. first thing that strikes you is the interior is really nice and the pub has real character. Food was excellent with an extensive menu and staff were just nice people. Will definitely be back and would strongly recommend it. It's outside appearance doesn't prepare you for how nice it is inside.

24/12/2025: Very delicious the food! And very good service 😁

21/12/2025: Pizza was very good. Service was quick and very friendly. Definitely recommend.

10/05/2026: Had a fantastic dining experience at Ruchi Restaurant. We started with the lamb seekh kebab and lamb chops — both freshly made from scratch and absolutely class. You could really taste the quality and freshness in every bite. The house special mocktails were super refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. For mains, we ordered the lamb boti, chicken biryani, and the non-veg thali — all full of flavour and very satisfying. A special thanks to owner Satish for the complimentary dessert at the end. It was homemade, delicious, and a lovely touch to finish the meal. Great food, warm hospitality, and definitely a place we’ll be visiting again!

30/04/2026: This was one of the best experience so far in ireland. The food was amazing the quantity was good and delicious. Ambience is crazy and even they have a 90 capacity seating upstairs. Really liked their gajar halwa and raita. The mix veg and aalo sabzi was amazing. The service was also good. I told them i liked the raita and manager gave me one more raita without charging. Quantity was really good i had to get a take away box as portions were huge. They have thali in both vegetarian and non vegetarian options. Will suggest to try their thali as it also has an amazing sweet dish.

09/10/2025: Popped in yesterday for a coffee after an event in the Rds, ordered but than realised I only had cash and it was card only.The lady at the till replied that’s okay just do something nice for someone.We left the cash on the counter and said do with that as you please ,such a kind interaction.Food was fantastic and so was the coffee very quick and amazing service. Thank you guys !

06/10/2025: I am visiting Dublin for a few days but the experiences I had here made me want to move here. I came here on a very busy Sunday and even though this place was packed to the gills everyone that worked there was so kind and polite. They were quick and efficient. The coffee was so good that I came back the next day. It was considerably less busy on a late Monday morning. I was able to sit outside and enjoy my delicious breakfast and coffee. The flat white was amazing. These people know how to make a good cup of coffee. The woman with the curly hair and bubbly personality made me feel so welcome. She even remembered my name when I left. Wish I could stay longer and become a regular. Come here and you will not be disappointed.

26/04/2026: Lovely restaurant with friendly staff. Food is really nice and reasonably priced.

26/04/2026: The food was very tasty and the owner was very nice and personable, explained to us how the food was traditionally served and how it was typically eaten. Loved all the unique but not overly spicy flavors, came with a side of onion Chile mixture to spice things up, and it tasted soon good.

02/05/2026: Best falafel in Dublin! Love this spot. The food is amazing, the staff are lovely, and the atmosphere is great. Super reasonably priced for what you get, too. Highly recommend this to everyone 😊

01/05/2026: Very good, kind, everything was delicious, top notch (Riccardo Vaglio)

22/12/2025: We are big fans of Garys in Dalkey - so happy to report the same delicious pizzas, super staff (as always Gary Balage Sonny ) and a fun night all round. Yummy GF pizza as well the same as Dalkey which is why we go there best GF pizza there is ! Ruth Dave and of course Joe

12/12/2025: This could be a lovely local spot however unfortunately its atmosphere seems to be ruined by the staff. Our first visit, we were treated rudely by the manager throughout the night which we tried to dismiss. More recently, not only were we berated again, she was also vocally treating her workers awfully in front of the whole restraunt. Both were disturbing experiences - do not recommend

10/05/2026: Why are there so many bugs?? Do I have to bring a swatter?

08/05/2026: Great pub for nerds! Awesome atmosphere and decoration elements, they even have arcade games. Food and drinks are very decent too!

13/05/2026: A great public house service excellent food near the railway station and town centre. Leo was a great waiter and very friendly. His cocktails were excellent.

12/05/2026: Good food and a lovely place overall. It’s a bit overpriced, but the location justifies it to some extent, and the quality of the food is definitely noticeable. Unfortunately, the customer service lets the experience down, which is why I can’t give more than 3 stars. We waited around 10 minutes at the entrance before being seated, while staff passed by without even acknowledging us. Once at the table, we never had the same server twice, which may have contributed to the slow and disorganised service. We ordered bread twice, and it arrived about 15 minutes later, just basic sliced bread. Overall, the service felt sluggish, especially considering it was a quiet Monday evening and not busy at all. Interestingly, the bill arrived very promptly :) The restrooms were also in poor condition, which added to the disappointment.

05/05/2026: Very very good veg thali plate, fantastic choice and great staff. Would recommend!

27/04/2026: Delicious, authentic Indian food! I have been to multiple states in India and this restaurant really captures the flavours and aesthetics of high-end food in India. I highly recommend the dum biryani and the veg thaali

12/08/2025: Great little pub, not touristy... Good prices for Dublin. A bit out of the way, but worth the short walk... Authentic... Top 👍

06/08/2025: Nice dog friendly bar. The seats outside catch the sun in the evening. Serve a small selection of Japanese food which was good.
