The best restaurants in Dublin

06/07/2025: We had a fabulous meal helped by staff who gave us a very friendly service experience . A very nice meal that included sides of pilau rice , and naan breads that were delicious. Thankyou

04/07/2025: Really enjoyed dinner here midweek, reservation was definitely needed as it was impressively busy for a Wednesday. Food was delicious, service was swift but not too abrupt, a good balance! Will definitely return to try their other menu options.

24/02/2026: A must visit pub if ever near Stillorgan. The food was delicious and prices were decent for the quantity. They do one of the best chicken wings in town. The ambience is very vintage. The staff were soo polite and kind. Highly recommend!!

02/02/2026: Unacceptable treatment and exclusionary service I visited The Mill House with my family, and we left feeling deeply insulted by the way we were treated. It was a distressing experience that felt pointedly discriminatory. The Experience: • Deliberate Seating: Despite there being plenty of available tables in the main dining area, the staff insisted on seating us in the bar area, specifically at a table directly in front of the toilets. • Complete Neglect: Once seated, we were effectively ignored. We were not provided with cutlery and had to wait over five minutes just to flag someone down for basic service. • Inattentive Management: The floor manager/supervisor was completely dismissive of our presence, while other tables around us appeared to be receiving standard care. It is heartbreaking to take your family out and be met with this level of bias. We were treated as "less than" other customers, and the "service" we received was non-existent. We will not be back, and I hope management addresses the underlying prejudices in how their staff chooses to seat and serve diverse groups.

28/12/2025: Visiting from Seattle and found this gem on our way to Galway. Ingredients were fresh and delicious. Would 💯 recommend!

20/12/2025: the staff, food, drinks and atmosphere are so good! we loved the soup, the oriental bowl and homemade chai...

24/10/2025: What an excellent little deli! The staff were lovely too. I heard the lovely gentleman behind the counter say that they never reused meat from the day before and you can absolutely taste the freshness. Will absolutely be back if I’m ever in the neighbourhood again.

21/10/2025: One of the nicest sandwiches I’ve ever had. With a name like Pig and Heifer, I wasn’t sure about what the vegetarian options would be, I got Gorgonzola and Veg on toasted Sour Dough. The produce is at the highest end you can get, just 10/10. Also, seemed to be independently owned with regular customers, good atmosphere.

20/03/2026: Had the best st. Patrick’s Day with our friends. Everyone was so lovely! Definitely will be back!

16/03/2026: Extremely rude gard. One man told me that I cannot enter with the hat from Oliver’s pub, I did not invest my movement before the second guard grabbed the hat from my hand, and started pulling off the pull over that I had in the hat. After I grabbed the head back and the pullover, and told him that I can do it myself I don’t need assistance, he pushed me and said then you cannot enter. I was with my girlfriend I was extremely embarrassing. Terrible terrible attitude. Again I was completely sober, and I don’t think anyone deserves to be treated like that.

04/10/2025: loviest place ever. went there upon seeing all the reviews raving about how good this place is. and it’s safe to say it definitely met those standards. their spice bag is not those kind sprinkled with seasoning but instead it’s drenched in sauce. had a nice salty & sweet & spicy taste to it and you can definitely taste how it was made to order. to top it off, when we requested to change the chicken tenders to popcorn chicken after we saw everyone raving about it, the ladies at janet’s gave us half a portion of the popcorn chicken on the house. thank you janet’s for making our night and we look forward to coming back!

13/09/2025: Crispy chicken bao bun is incredible

27/10/2025: Karol served with smile but the other waitress wearing spectacles seems like she doesn’t want to serve customers. Visited the restaurant because of the good food but please improve the service. My partner also told me that several times the waitress with spectacles seems judgemental and giving side eyes. Smh

27/10/2025: A pretty good South Indian restaurant that truly preserves the authentic flavors and spices. The highlight, however, is its clean and well-maintained washrooms — a rare find among Indian restaurants, even the “famous” ones in dublin.

07/03/2026: I love how it feels like the restaurant is full of locals, it’s such a good sign when you can literally spot returning customers. The host- great at her job, staff are super friendly and our food was great. My only critique is- I feel as though the high volume of locals makes the service for new/less frequent customers too casual. For example our waitress kind of just came over and gave us a thumbs when checking on us. Which in theory is fine, and we didn’t mind, but perhaps could be an issue for other diners.

25/02/2026: We had a lovely experience, we had a new staff waiting our table and she did great! Food was very good, we had the Guacamole (only thing that we wouldn't have again, quite tasteless, looked like it came out of a can) and the Hummus (gorgeous). Then the steak and Fish and chips for mains, both veery good. Ending up with the chocolate 'Budino', a smooth mousse that was the perfect way to end up the evening.

16/09/2025: Love getting the matcha here and the atmosphere is amazing. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. 🥰🥰

15/09/2025: Love the coffee and staff is super friendly.

17/03/2026: One of my favourite place in Dublin, cozy and well decorated. 🫶🏻

07/03/2026: Great food, great staff! Highly recommend the Tuscan Beans or Porridge. Or have a pastry with your coffee

29/12/2025: In the heart of the most tourist area of Temple Bar, you’ll find an exquisite wood-burning authentic pizza restaurant. It arrivals anything you’d find in New York City or anywhere in Naples. I needed to get eight pizzas to go for the cast and crew of a performance just down the street at the project art center. The staff was incredible to deal with and had my eight pies ready in under 10 minutes. The cast and crew raved about the pizzas plenty of options for vegan to vegetarian to a meat lovers delight.

25/12/2025: Pizzeria opposite Temple Bar, prices slightly lower than many other pizzerias, good pizza, let's say it's on par with an average Italian pizzeria, so for a place outside of Italy, it's very good, especially if you're looking for something more Italian after a day of fish & chips and local food. Quick service and a quiet, pleasant atmosphere.

20/03/2026: We were passing on our way home from work this evening and decided to see if we could get a table last minute. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and happy to accommodate us, they were also very helpful with recommendations and asking how long we would like to wait between courses to ensure we had the most pleasant dining experience. The food was absolutely incredible and there are plenty of meat, vegetarian, seafood and vegan options to choose from. We are looking forward to returning and experiencing some more tasty options.

18/03/2026: Very good experience. Great food, generous portions. Beautiful and decorated environment. Friendly staff. I can recommend the moussaka and other vegetarian options falafel, lentil soup. Tasty guava juice.

03/02/2026: Lovely staff excellent fresh cod and chips well worth a visit

10/01/2026: Great fish and chips. Fair price. Loveley staff. I had a nostalgic moment when i tasted the food that was fried in, what i think was, beef fat.

07/01/2026: One of the most consistently nice pints of Guinness in Dublin. Great bar.

28/12/2025: Very friendly staff and nice cozy pub

05/12/2025: A well-balanced cafe that manages to stay comfortable even during busy hours. The layout allows people to sit without feeling cramped, and the overall pace never feels rushed. It’s a good spot for slowing down, having longer conversations, or simply taking time out while staying close to the city’s energy.

02/12/2025: Modern, upbeat cafe with staff who clearly enjoy their work. The atmosphere is lively but never overwhelming, making it suitable for casual meetings or solo visits. Coffee quality is high, and the space has a natural flow that keeps visitors comfortable for longer periods.
