The best restaurants in Dublin

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.

21/06/2025: Pedí un tostado de jamón y queso salió con salsa y lechuga en él. Terrible Pedí una botella de sidra de una pinta dijo que no había, pero que lo tenían, así que tuve que conseguir una sidra diferente Terrible servicio

17/06/2025: Excellent place not to be missed

27/10/2025: Excellent pub with great Guinness

14/09/2025: I've been to this pub (just for a glass of water, that's all) about few times. It's a very nice place. The staff are friendly especially Alan and Fiona themselves. Fiona is a lovely girl, isn't she?

20/09/2025: Lovely gluten free French toast 🌸

12/09/2025: The food is exceptional! I love the veggie grill.

25/10/2025: Lovedd the food, was soo tasty and fresh

24/09/2025: Great food but yhe services is painfully slow. I literally had to ask for the check 5 times before having to walk up to the kitchen to pay 😅

12/08/2025: Absolutely incredible grilled pork chop and grilled ribs!

12/08/2025: I made a reservation online and unfortunately I made a mistake and it was not confirmed. The effort was immediately reflected on the credit card which I showed to the person in charge. She turned us away with a smile. In my country, because hospitality is considered quite important, I would have expected her to have made an effort to serve us. It doesn't matter. All I can say right away is that the shop, being quite small and claustrophobic, black in color, had a stifling atmosphere with a strong smell of roast meat. You leave smoky. Maybe the food compensates. I won't know. Be well. -"Comment to the owner's response" - Dear, the one star is for your behavior and the stifling atmosphere. Not for food that I didn't have the "honor" to try. I mentioned it anyway. The fact that you respond regardless of what I write and insult me on top of that shows who you are. I attended today with a group of 5 people for dinner. I did not deprive you of money. I had heard the best things about your restaurant. You summarily kicked us out. I showed the Visa charge that seemed to indicate that there had been an attempt on my part to make a reservation. Instead, there was no attempt on your part to provide service. Be well and I have indeed learned my lesson... Again, I wish you the best!

29/07/2025: Nice atmosphere. Good place for a toastie. Coffee is good

17/07/2025: Nice breakfast and very comfortable surroundings

04/11/2025: I recently visited Wood Fire Café and had an outstanding experience! The moment I stepped in, the cozy atmosphere stood out warm lighting, elegant wooden accents, and the inviting aroma of freshly baked goods filled the space. The staff were welcoming and attentive, offering thoughtful recommendations and making sure everything was just right throughout our visit. I tried their signature wood-fired pizza and a freshly brewed cup of coffee, and both were exceptional. The pizza had a perfectly crisp, smoky crust with high-quality toppings that blended beautifully. The coffee was rich, aromatic, and paired perfectly with the meal. I couldn’t resist finishing with a slice of their homemade cake, which was moist, flavorful, and just the right level of sweetness. A truly delightful experience from start to finish. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

04/11/2025: Dinner at Wood Fire Café was a truly memorable experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the lighting elegant, and the staff attentive. You can watch the chefs in the open kitchen working their magic while you enjoy a glass of wine. We tried the seafood pasta and margherita pizza — both excellent. The desserts were equally impressive. A perfect place for a relaxed yet classy evening.

04/10/2025: Service was great, the two girls we dealt with were v.friendly & efficient! Food was lovely, tempura, Oki and sweet potato dumplings all fab..the pickled cucumber was tasteless tho and it would be nice to have some options for dipping sauces rather than sweet chilli and soy. Def recommend overall tho. 🙂

03/10/2025: Had a great experience at the Lucky Tortoise. The owner and staff are very kind and the food absolutely hit the spot. The tempura was excellent with light batter and great variety of vegetables. My favorite was the pork siu mai. They had a bunch of vegetarian and vegan options. We were also very impressed with the kids menu. We are only staying in Dublin for a few more days and will be back before we go!

15/10/2025: The hotel the day this restaurant is in is beautiful. The restaurant itself wasn’t fancy but felt very approachable and welcoming. The food was great and I loved that they had a Slovakian tasting menu. We didn’t have it but my husband did have the potato dish from that menu and it was excellent. The pork chop that I had was delicious! The staff was so kind and attentive. The wine was really delicious. Great start to our Dublin vacation.

01/10/2025: The ambience of the Merrion hotel was exceptional. The restaurant was lovely with good food and the chef was excellent. The thing that let it down is the service. Not great for a uptown restaurant

10/09/2025: Good experience here. Staff welcoming and attentive. The pub itself is dated and the carpet on the floor needs to go. The food was fresh and tasted very nice.

29/08/2025: Excellent carvery lunch menu, lovely staff

20/08/2025: Best guinness in the city centre. Always a good buzz. Only food option is a toasted ham and cheese, which is lovely, they even give you a jar of mustard which polishes it off. But don't go here if you are looking for food options. Old style bar. Love it

18/08/2025: We stayed for a couple of drinks and the bartender was so friendly and helpful. The ambiance was also so cozy.

09/10/2025: One of our favourite, long term , to places for food. Everyone should try Lemongrass

19/09/2025: Amazing food and excellent service!

12/08/2025: The čevapčići !!! We asked to half it, because the portion for one person is large, and we had sides of ajvar and kajmak sauce for it! All we had was so so delicious and well prepared - all ingredients were top quality!!! They have a wide range of Balkan dishes, so Davor promised me THE best moussaka; it will be what I am trying next time 🫶🏼

07/08/2025: My favorite place in Dublin. Not only local food but you can hear our language all around you. Great place when you get nostalgic. The best thing is that they have great Turkish coffee.

19/09/2025: Lovely restaurant in Rathmines. Pizza was excellent, maybe the service should be a little bit quicker but I love it

18/09/2025: Lately they've downgraded in terms of customer experience. This has been my local since they open. Staff was always really sound and would make classic cocktails outside the menu or accommodate certain details, last two times I went there, they were rude and seemed like they were rushing everything and couldn't be bothered even when it wasnt a busy evening. Would hate to see them going down that path.
