The best restaurants in Dublin

29/11/2025: In for a pint for old times sake. Friendly service. Should have order Guiness stout as I was the only non Guinness drinker there. Would recommend it fir atmosphere and pints.

18/11/2025: Great local pub,good drink,lovely pints,and if you want to have something to eat Tayto is your man

28/10/2025: Best almond croissant of my life

26/10/2025: I thought it was even better than the last time I was there 😂 I had an almond croissant and a sausage roll 😘👌at I think 10am and I didn’t eat again until 5:30 but not sure I even needed to!

16/12/2025: One of the cosiest pubs in Dun Laoghaire. The silver application on the ceiling create a beautiful style at night and the pint they serve is delicious. The owner is a true gentleman and you will never have a bad experience in here.

07/12/2025: Love this place. Highly recommended. 🥂🍾🙏🫶

23/05/2026: If you are looking for an exceptional dining experience, this is it. We celebrated my birthday here and were completely blown away. The venue itself is stunning—the lighting and decor create an amazing atmosphere that you have to see in person. The food was top-notch, but what truly made the night was the staff, who went above and beyond for us. Thank you, Ananda, for a memorable night!

21/05/2026: Spectacular as always. Devine food, great service and an inviting atmosphere. The Tasting Menu is always worth a look especially if you're feeling adventurous as it changes regularly

07/01/2026: Very nice pasta, would highly recomened..look forward to trying some of the other pasta options on my next visit....

29/12/2025: The best Carbonara I‘ve ever eaten!

08/03/2026: First time there yesterday. Have always passed it over the years and always wanted to go in for a pint. Walked in yesterday. Sound barman served us Fantastic Guinness. It's a beautiful pub. Had a nice stroll around it as it wasn't busy in the afternoon. Will definitely return.

02/02/2026: Classy pub, with the traditional storefront, hardware and perfume bottles that used to be for sale. "Just going to the hardware store to buy a couple of nails and an Eau de Cologne", that old tradition. Heineken 0.0 on tap, that's pretty rare, and cool.

09/04/2026: Got a takeaway pizza from here. Very good quality and tasted amazing. Only thing I would say is it would be great if delivery pizzas had better packaging/were packaged a bit more securely.

09/04/2026: Restaurant was empty, Quick to have a table. Then... 30 minutes to get 4 pizzas, no kids format, no burgers, only pizzas and pasta. Pizzaiolo was in shorts, no regular coca cola but a Gaza cola which was annonced as a cola. Overall not so great on the service or menu, but pizzas were good !

04/01/2026: We ordered two burgers and some fries to share. The fries were tasty but a bit spicy and hot. We ordered the ones with lettuce, pickles, and veggie patty, but there was very little meat, hardly any at all. I quite liked my "chicken" burger, except for the buffalo sauce, which was incredibly hot. I had to remove one of the bun halves because I can't handle spice and I didn't like it at all. I asked the waiter to add a slice of cheese to my burger because none of the "chicken" burgers include cheese. The other burger was a double "meat" smash, very tasty but nothing special compared to others we've tried. Overall, we liked the place and the food was good, that's undeniable, but we've had better veggie options. Even so, we liked it and would go back, but we'd try other choices. What we liked least was that it was very cold inside, and also that the burger didn't come with its own fries.

03/01/2026: food was incredibely good and so many choices! meat alternatives were authentic. but the restaurant door couldn't fully close so it was cold inside

07/05/2026: We had a great experience with really good Pad Thai. The Sushi was okay but nothing to special. Service was really friendly and we got our food fast. Didn’t had to wait for a table but might be a good idea to have a reservation on the weekend.

06/05/2026: All is very tasty. Took 3 miso soup.

04/05/2026: We had such a gorgeous meal here yesterday. I had the wild mushroom and sausage pizza and it was the nicest pizza I’ve ever had. The base and the toppings were perfect. We also ordered the arancini as a starter, the ragu for our child and a Hawaiian pizza. The restaurant had a nice ambiance and the staff were very friendly.

08/04/2026: Staff so patient helpful great with kids

07/09/2025: Good place for a quick lunch, double deal has so much food it could easily feed 3 people. I expected a bit better pizza, it is tasty but does not compare to pizza I ate in Italy or another italian restaurants.

06/09/2025: I came here with my friend to order. My friend ordered a €10 pizza deal first and paid immediately with the card machine the chinese server provided. After that, I ordered a €10 pizza deal (takeaway) and a €17 pasta deal. When I paid, I was charged €37 instead of €27. We only realized after sitting down that we had been overcharged by €10. When I went back to the counter to explain, the server looked confused even though the whole thing had happened less than 7 minutes earlier. She said the refund could only be done through the card machine and that I would have to wait until the next day, instead of simply giving me back €10 in cash. What disappointed me most was not the mistake itself, but the attitude. From start to finish, there was not a single “sorry” for the inconvenience. Mistakes happen, but good service is about how you handle them. By the way that rude chinese server named BETTY.

16/05/2026: Very good serveur , my friends love guinness. The shot of baileys is okay

26/04/2026: Popped in for a quick pint on a Friday night. Very nice pint of Guinness

17/01/2026: I used to order from 4Friends back when I worked in the city, back when it was a place you would actively recommend rather than quietly apologise for. I am now living on the other side of town, usually relying on Deliveroo to get my 4friends, and after a lot of travel I found myself back in the city centre this week. Feeling nostalgic and full of goodwill, I brought my girlfriend in, proudly talking it up like a man revisiting an old pub that once served the perfect pint. What I found instead was deeply depressing. The first thing you notice is not the smell of burgers or sizzling beef. It is grime. Tables smeared with old sauce, sticky to the touch, looking like they had lost a fight with a bottle of ketchup sometime last Tuesday and never recovered. The place felt tired, unloved, and frankly unclean. Then came the real horror. After eating, I went downstairs to the toilet and was greeted by a smell so aggressively sewage like that it should come with a warning sign and a hard hat. Sitting upstairs you are blissfully unaware, but once you know, you know. And it makes the idea of eating there again physically impossible. Now to the burgers. I ordered the Professor, a burger I once travelled for, a burger I spoke about with the reverence normally reserved for religious experiences. This version was a pale imitation. Somewhere along the way you have swapped out your beef supplier for something generic, bland, and utterly forgettable. The signature juiciness is gone. The flavour has packed its bags and left without saying goodbye. You can taste the cost cutting in every bite. My girlfriend’s reaction summed it up perfectly. One bite, a pause, and a polite “it’s just ok”. That silence was louder than any review I could write. While I was there, a delivery arrived from Sysco, which rather confirmed my suspicions. This is not progress. This is what happens when you start shaving quality to save a few bob. The place was empty, and that should worry you. I want you to be around. I want 4Friends to succeed. But you do not get there by serving burgers that could have come from anywhere. Behind the counter there were three staff members and a rotating cast of their mates coming in, laughing and joking, while tables sat uncleared and customers sat wondering why nobody cared. Basic stuff is being ignored. Cleaning tables. Keeping the place fresh. Making sure it does not smell like a blocked drain. This place used to be worth the journey. Now it feels like it is going to the dogs. Please go back to the original beef supplier. Please sort out the hygiene. Please fix that smell. Because cutting corners does not save you money in the long run. It just drives away the people who once loved you. Do better. With genuine affection from a once loyal customer.

10/01/2026: Loved this place but recently their portions have reduced (tapioca dice) by almost half and the price has increased. Understandable to have a small price increase but cutting the potion size that drastically was pretty disappointing as someone who has spent a good amount of money here over the years.

21/05/2026: Great food, Guinness, and staff. It's one of my favorite pubs in Ireland.

20/04/2026: Great staff and friendly atmosphere. Sunday night pub quizz, nice bit of fun. Heineken was excellent

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.
