The best restaurants in Dublin

02/11/2025: Really unusual, cosy pub. We just found it because we were looking for a pet friendly place near Henry St. Lovely little snugs/booths. 80’s & 90’s alternative hits playing. Will definitely be back. Hidden gem

25/10/2025: I didn't eat anything, so it's hard to comment, but the place has a true Irish feel. The bartender is wonderful and helpful. The individual booths and local people are just what I was looking for in Dublin :)

03/10/2025: We stayed in Dublin for four days, and we came here for breakfast/lunch every day. It's a charming and centric place with very dedicated staff, especially the waitress Nerea, who gave us recommendations and was super friendly. What's more, my partner is gluten-free and vegetarian, and they had gluten-free options for all the crepes/pancakes and quite a few vegetarian options. We loved it and will definitely be back!

22/09/2025: Never left a review before; this place inspired me. Advertises itself as a gluten-free breakfast cafe but has nothing gluten free on the menu. The only thing they could offer was a €7 crepe. Except when I went to pay it had a €2.50 surcharge for being gluten free that they didn't advise in advance. €9.50 for one pancake with jif lemon and some sugar. The tin hat was the €3.80 cup of black coffee I didn't even finish because it was more bitter than this review must sound. Will never darken the door again and, my advice, you shouldn't either.

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.

31/01/2026: Good drinks, nice staff and great outdoor vibe. Plus dog friendly

31/01/2026: Old style bar. With decades of memories. Beautiful pints of Guinness.

24/12/2025: Happy Christmas 2 all the staff

16/12/2025: A new find for us. Staff so warm and welcoming and a great pint

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.

31/07/2025: My favourite spot in Dublin (if not the country) for food! Always delivers the flavour. First time in the new premises but great to see the same friendly staff and high quality food continue. Always recommend Alma to anyone looking for good food in Dublin knowing they won't be disappointed.

23/07/2025: A difficult spot to visit due to high demand & limited space however worth the effort of making a reservation ahead to visit. I recommend trying the avocado toast and the pancakes after to share. Fresh orange juice and a coffee are also a great option at Alma. I recommend checking them out.

03/02/2026: I love tacos here but they are very expensive, The tacos are authentic Mexican flavor, I have been trying different restaurants and this one is my top 1 only for birria tacos, I wish they could serve more soup, they only give a little bit of it and the price is very high. Staff is a bit rude, tables are very close and space is too small

26/01/2026: We ate there twice, and both times it was yummy and flavorful :) The consomé is great and tacos filling !

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.

25/10/2025: Just a great place for a quick cuppa.

09/09/2025: Great Coffe and iced Matcha! Finally something nearby.

11/02/2026: Food was good. The Irish Stew was lovely. Bread A+++! Enjoyed the Chicken Boxty, the flavor can get tiresome after a bit, but it comes with a tiny salad to break up the taste. Friendly Service. Would recommend.

10/02/2026: we love the stew and calamari so yummy nice fries too but not crispy(idk if boxty fries are like that) it was super nice overall

12/02/2026: Perfect spot for a good pizza. Very friendly staff! Good vibes.

10/02/2026: Went here for a solo date on my birthday - loved everything! The pizza was amazing, I had the #8 and it was delicious. Lovely light dough, thin crust that was charred to perfection. And the blue cheese dip was stunning - will definitely be back here!

18/01/2026: Great Pizza, amazing prices, best pizza in town
