The best restaurants in Dublin

11/05/2025: Very good for breakfast. Not very expensive.

10/05/2025: To test a coffee shop u simply order espresso...that is most difficult to get right. This coffee shop pulls espresso that is perfect...as good as my setup at home. Perfection.

17/05/2025: The food and coffee is absolutely superb. Finally, an avocado toast where the bacon is not just a measly strip, but a heap of bacon. Killer. The staff at the counter was very friendly too and the atmosphere is nice. But seriously the breakfast is worth more than 5 stars.

15/05/2025: I used to love this place for breakfast. I was sitting in the outdoor area that has a sign saying smoking is prohibited. A woman next to me lit a cigarette, and the owner or manager showed up at that very moment. I thought he was going to ask her to put it out, but instead, he lit a cigarette right next to her table. 🫠

17/05/2025: I’ve been a regular at this cafe for quite some time and have always appreciated the welcoming atmosphere, quality food and coffee, and excellent service. Unfortunately, that experience has changed recently. It seems the staff has been replaced, and the new team doesn’t maintain the same level of service. On our latest visit, customer service was disappointing. We were dining in, but all our food and drinks were given to us in takeaway containers. This has never happened before. Some customers did receive bowls or plates, which made it clear that proper dishes were available. It felt as though the staff simply didn’t want to clean up afterward. While we were there, the staff were engaged in personal conversations behind the counter while dealing with other customers. They didn’t approach our table to confirm our orders or deliver drinks properly. Instead, they shouted coffee orders across the café, expecting customers to know who they were talking to. It felt unprofessional and careless. We also noticed that there was no dog bowl available, even though this place has always been dog-friendly. When we asked, they said they never provided one, even though we’ve visited multiple times in the past and a dog bowl has always been available. We were handed a cup of water instead, which is fine. Given that the food and coffee here are priced higher than average, I would expect a much better level of service. The previous staff were always kind, attentive, and professional. Sadly, this visit felt like being served by a group of teenagers. There was also a long line of customers waiting for food, many of whom looked just as frustrated. I truly hope this cafe can return to the standards it once had. It was a very disappointing experience

16/05/2025: What a busy little spot. Small but nice atmosphere. Only went in for coffee however, the sandwiches looked lovely. Simple and very well done. A welcoming coffee shop.

21/05/2025: The restaurant had a very nice atmosphere and staff were all very friendly and accommodating 👍🏻😊 it would be best to make reservation to make sure you have a seat as the restaurant is quite small. The food overall is ok - we ordered Calamari & Veg Fritti, Arancini (these two were great and definitely recommend to everyone 😍) We also ordered Rigatoni alla Amatriciana & Mushroom risotto. The pasta sauce was abit too sour but still ok if eating with the pancetta. The risotto was creamy and not too salty which was nice 👍🏻

21/05/2025: I went today with a friend and everything was great, and both the guy and the girl who served us were very nice!

19/04/2025: Nice bubble tea shop and lovely staff . Classic milk tea

12/05/2025: Very nice little spot! Amazing selection for cakes and the lady serving so kind. They also have very good coffee! I highly recommend them and can’t wait to comeback!

17/05/2025: It's a great spot for a quick coffee and pastries!

15/05/2025: I love this place! It's my go to for brunch/lunch/coffee in the area. The cinnamon buns are to die for. The iced drinks eg. iced tea are really good value, they can customise a lot of things to accommodate for dietary restrictions eg. Vegetarian. The staff are so friendly. The vegan cheeky plant it and the American pancakes are great. The inside of the place is really cute with decorations and they have loads of outdoor space. It's also dog friendly! Love love love this place

01/05/2025: Authur's is a great spot with great food and drink. I have yet to order a side or dish that disappoints or is subpar. The staff are very friendly and kind. It gets pretty busy at times, so asking nicely will get you sorted. I'm a local and really enjoy this place over the other pubs in the area. It has 1 outdoor covered area and another open area. A bit of a darker pub but I like it. It does have cozy lighter seating as well. This is my spot 👌

16/04/2025: Excellent atmosphere, service and burger. I'll definitely go back.

12/05/2025: Best KBBQ in Dublin. We had the Set A and Set B bbq menus between 4 of us along with crispy chicken wings, fried dumplings, rice and kimchi. It was so so much food but great value! The spiced beef and beef rib were definitely the best meat items. The staff are so lovely and explained everything. You can get top ups of any of the sides like lettuce or samjang or salad. We had a lovely evening and can’t wait to come back.

10/05/2025: My go-to Korean restaurant whenever I'm in Dublin. Highly recommend the cheesy tteokbokki and kimchi pancake. They also do Korean BBQ, which is a great experience. The staff are nice. Portion sizes are generous.

23/05/2025: Quays was the best restaurant during our stay in Dublin! At other restaurants, you'd feel like you should leave immediately; sometimes you just weren't served. That wasn't the case here! The staff was extremely friendly, the food was delicious and had deep, super-tasty sauces! We were very satisfied!

23/05/2025: Traditional Irish food, well prepared!

17/05/2025: Nice modern and really well kept hotel with parking on site, restaurant and really nice breakfast.

17/05/2025: My go to hotel on Dublin North Side. Comfortable and friendly. Good location. Stayed here many times.

04/05/2025: Very good museum dedicated to educationalist and revolutionary Padraic Pearse set in beautiful parkland grounds

06/04/2025: Very nice and informative place. Always a good visit.

02/06/2025: Excellent place great food and quick service

24/05/2025: Not my first time at Fire & Stone Eatery and it won't be my last. Food is always lovely. I had the breakfast salad and was allowed to substitute one item for another without any difficulty. The service is friendly without being in your face and the spacing of the tables allows privacy for quiet conversation. Price is not too bad considering the times in which we live. I'll definitely be back.

28/05/2025: Was there for dinner with my son @7pm on a Saturday. Lovely cute place with nice decor. The portions were sizeable and delicious. The staff were both attentive & professional. I would definitely recommend 👌

16/04/2025: Vincent is so nice here! Would recommend for anyone. Great craic

28/05/2025: Absolutely fantastic place to have good food friendly staff and a great Spotify play list.🤗 Would definitely recommend 👍

27/05/2025: Came here for an early lunch on a busy Saturday. Service and atmosphere were lovely. Unfortunately was a little disappointed with the food. The mezze bowl was a very small portion, with hardly any hummus, soggy flatbread as it was in a bowl with wet salad, and 5 circles of cucumber (which look a bit silly) not really worth it in my opinion. It was 20euro for a coffee and a mezze bowl. The pastries and other options looked good, so maybe I just got a bad dish.
