The best restaurants in Dublin

17/07/2026: Great pub, great atmosphere and staff are friendly and chatty. Loved the place, will come back again when I'm in Dublin next time.

16/07/2026: Did not eat but beautiful pub would highly recommend, great location just before the madness of the city on Baggot street junction before the bridge. They have tall tables, regular tables, booths and an outdoor smoking area upstairs. Really friendly manager/owner/doorman,barmen they have very respectful and professional staff who really know their locals but are also very friendly to strangers 🥰Has a charming lil piece of history for any one who's interested, the have created a Brendan Behan snug/corner where you can sit & enjoy a drink where he used to💚🤍🧡💚🤍🧡*I would say very family friendly but maybe not on big match days😃

29/06/2026: friendly barman and amazing Guinness

28/06/2026: Visited on a Sunday around lunchtime for a quiet pint. I ordered two at the bar, watched the bartender pull them, and waited while they settled — only to then be told I couldn't be served because of my trousers. No issue at the door, no warning when I ordered. The decision to enforce a dress code policy after the pints were already pulled is poor customer service, plain and simple. If a dress code is in place, customers should be informed on entry — not after they've been kept waiting at the bar. Won't be returning.

12/07/2026: What a beautiful gastro pub. Warm atmosphere and good food in a great location.

11/07/2026: Went during lunch and place was empty, selected on menu was small, food was nice but nothing special, as prices increase and it wasn't cheap I think food quality should be better.

26/07/2026: Chris, our server was so helpful and accommodating! The food was amazing and the steak was cooked perfectly! We had such a great night! We will 100% be back!

25/07/2026: Food was not great, everything was way overpriced.The decor looks a bit dated. The clientele left a lot to be desired. Avoid.

03/07/2026: Good solid good and an amazing staff

01/07/2026: Excellent food! I had the Megrelian Khachapuri as a vegetarian, and it was amazing. It looked a bit small at first, but it was actually more than enough and very satisfying.

06/07/2026: Our favorite date night restaurant

05/07/2026: Overall the food was great and the steak was amazing, but in the end you feel totally rushed to pay and leave that it really feels cheap for a restaurant of this tier.

30/06/2026: What a find! After mooring in the marina after a 30 hour passage we were just looking for a decent place to sit down and have some food to fill us up, but we got much more than that. We waited about 5 minutes for the Lady of the house (sorry, I didn't get your name) to prepare a table for the 7 of us...it was a squeeze but that made it all the more authentic and personable. Food, Top quality! Service, like in a small ristorante somewhere in the Italian countryside (the lady of the house said she was from Rome, but it didn't feel like a city restaurant)! The wine was delicious. And as a bonus we were allowed to join in the retirement party of Jerry, the computer science teacher, on the table next to us (including a visit by the head mistress to our table to cheer to Jerry). We had a great night, more than we could ever expect, to be sure. So thank you to the Lady of the house, to the kind and patient waitress, and good luck to you, Jerry. Thank you for all the years teaching our (their) kids.

20/06/2026: Small cosy place! A piece of Italy in Dun Laoghaire. The staff was friendly and the food was amazing.

11/07/2026: Attentive, friendly staff. Could do with a makeover. Food adequate. Sushi was good, crispy chicken was disappointing, a bit hard and stringy.

27/05/2026: I have eaten in the restaurant and ordered out and every time the food and service is brilliant. Staff are so friendly and accommodating., especially for special occasions like Birthdays.

24/06/2026: Vice was once genuinely one of the best coffee spots in Ireland. The standard was exceptional and it felt like a place that really cared about what it served. Sadly, it feels like it has been coasting on its old reputation for years now. I still go back occasionally hoping it has bounced back, but the coffee has consistently been harsh, bitter and unpleasant, nothing like what made the place special. It seems to still get plenty of love for Irish coffees and the experience around that, but as a regular coffee spot it’s a real shame to see how far it’s fallen

21/06/2026: I came here just for the Irish coffee. I had the fancy frankie, really delicious! Delicate with hints of orange. Spectacular!

29/06/2026: The little coffee shop 😍 is so good service is fantastic and very good quality food and the prices are very good enjoy coffee ☕️ with beautiful people in the 4 coffee shop 😊 😀

10/06/2026: Nice atmosphere,lounge staff very friendly,food was good.Would visit again.

12/07/2026: Best guinnes in Dublin, great staff

10/07/2026: Best strawberry daquairis around Dublin 8 area.. .food and staff amazing especially the lounge girl downstairs is the star of the show 🫶🏻🍹👌

23/07/2026: The restaurant and the service was great but I was very disappointed of the seafood chowder, I don t find mussels suits very well on it, bits of shells are very hard to eat, very crunchy, I would say it s the worst one I ever eat, very cheap version of a traditional one

23/07/2026: We had a very good dinner at this restaurant. The service was very friendly, they greet you with a smile and give you all the necessary explanations about the dishes. We liked the careful presentation of the dishes.

17/07/2026: Great food quality and affordable prices. Would definitely come back.

12/07/2026: You charge service, but can’t even do basic math We visited as a group larger than four people. An automatic 10% service charge was added straight away — which they are entitled to apply, but then they refused completely to split the bill. In Dublin it is very easy to reach €500–€600 for a group meal, especially with bottles of wine. It is simply not acceptable that one single person has to advance an entire week’s wages just to enjoy a dinner out with friends. This is not convenient, it is not fair, and it makes no sense at all. If you charge extra for “service”, please learn basic division first. If your system or your procedures can’t handle splitting payments, fix that problem yourselves — don’t make your customers pay the price for it. I will not be returning. I strongly advise anyone booking a larger table to ask about payment rules before you sit down, otherwise you might get caught out. “Also remember: under Irish consumer rules, any mandatory surcharges like service fees must be clearly displayed upfront. Refusing reasonable bill splitting on large amounts is very poor practice.”

07/07/2026: This is a lovely tea shop with delicious food and an excellent assortment of tea and coffee to choose from. I got the cheesecake and a strawberry aloe tea, both of which were delicious. They have indoor seating along with a quaint, shaded garden to enjoy your food/drinks in. I would highly recommend!

01/07/2026: From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by the comforting aroma of freshly brewed loose-leaf tea, instantly creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The neatly arranged displays of tea jars reflected the shop’s commitment to quality, freshness, and meticulous attention to detail.

28/07/2026: Exceptional typical Irish breakfast at the right price, recommended

27/07/2026: Great little cafe serving great food highly recommended used whilst visiting Dublin was so good we went back again for breakfast
