The best restaurants in Dublin

06/04/2025: Good food at a good price, but the service was top notch!

06/04/2025: Ahhh the amazing pancakes they have 🤤

03/04/2025: I LOVE this place! Come here for brekkie/brunch multiple times a month - the go-to spot for a breakfast out ! All the staff are so personable and give the best service: accommodating and also a great chat. As for the menu, yummy and changes seasonally so there’s always something fresh 😋

03/04/2025: The menu forces you into difficult choices so you end up trying everything.

16/04/2025: The dinner was good and the food was delicious. The portions of pasta are small if you plan to take only the main course. The staff is friendly. But there was an unpleasant situation with the tip and the total bill. The tip is calculated automatically and included in the bill, despite the customer's consent. This was not mentioned anywhere. So there is no option to choose the amount. So we had an unwelcome surprise at the end. We were forced to pay (15% of the check for three people). When I asked why we had to pay, the manager said that the policy had been changed and that it was necessary to pay extra for 3 or more people, although it used to apply to groups of more than 8. It looked like we were being played for fools. This is not the first time this has happened. We’ve been here to celebrate birthday. Then our cake was taken to another table without even informing us. When we refused to pay a tip because of this situation, we argued for a very long time. This situation made me remember why I stopped going to this restaurant. I personally have a lot of experience in the service industry and hospitality , so I know what I'm talking about and that's why I'm writing about it. I have nothing against good work and gratitude for it. It's just that things like mandatory tipping (which is not common in Dublin restaurants) should be stated up front and not come as an unpleasant surprise, especially at small tables that don't require additional resources to clean. I am very disappointed, this kind of situation makes me not want to come back.

15/04/2025: Erica & Dennis ( yes ….Dennis the Italian) were just so friendly , helpful and provided great service. The food is fantastic and this place is highly recommended. Worth popping into toners for a pint too

31/03/2025: The staff are warm , welcoming and always smiley every single time i visit them … recommend this place for everyone☕️🚀

14/03/2025: Very nice coffee shop. Best off cofee. As always, the coffee is great.

29/03/2025: They have a wonderful and diverse selection of pastries that are some of the best I've ever had! The staff were friendly and the coffee excellent. Will definitely be returning!

10/03/2025: Top tier bakery. Excellent bread and pastries.

02/04/2025: Great local traditional feel to this pub

30/03/2025: Pints of Gunness are good 👍, atmosphere was v good as for the game of bingo we played was fun 😁.

12/04/2025: We’re currently dining here, and I can honestly say this is one of the best sea bass dishes we’ve ever had. The presentation was beautiful, and the side dishes complemented the main course perfectly — an absolutely delicious meal. The ambiance and service were also outstanding. Highly recommended if you’re in Dublin. Thank you, Sole!

12/04/2025: We booked well in advance for a party of five, so it was surprising to be seated at a table clearly meant for four. It took asking twice before we were finally moved to a more suitable table. Disappointing start to what we had hoped would be a smooth experience. Service remained slow throughout. Food was good on the whole, although the batter on the fish and chips was burnt. Limited dairy free options. Water charge was extortionate, especially when we were not asked if we wanted a second bottle.

18/02/2025: Nice place. It has a good variety of food and is fairly priced. The staff was nice to us.

17/02/2025: Superb 🤩 Welcome and server 👍 Fair priced and very good dish

16/04/2025: Fantastic hotel, very friendly professional staff. Food and service is absolutely amazing!

15/04/2025: Amazing hotel, Beautiful Executive bedroom and really enjoyed the meal in the bar and grill!

12/04/2025: Truly delicious food! Twas 2 for dinner and we ordered the Set Menu and Bao Buns to start us out - everything was so tasty that we then ordered another dumplings and scallion pancake. Service was brilliant, our two servers were such sweethearts and the restaurant had good buzz. Will be back!

03/04/2025: Recently had a group in for a dumpling making class, everyone really enjoyed the class and food, Fernanda and all the staff were fantastic!

15/02/2025: For me, who I was looking for healthy food in Dublin, this little place was like a piece of heaven. I don't mean that you cannot eat good food in Dublin, it's just that it's not always around the corner. Many places look flashy but they don't care about food quality. So I definitely recommend Soup dragon.

23/01/2025: excellent food made home with love. I recommend the Salami sandwich which is delicious. The atmosphere is very calm and warm. I recommend it especially for those who have a limited budget (even if I were rich I would come here).

14/04/2025: Went on a Sunday night, bar staff uninterested in serving customers, they were doing shots behind the bar with their ‘customers’ pals while I waited to be served. Terrible service. Asked closing time , told 1am, went to order a drink at 12:50 to be told bar closes. No notification, no lights flashed. Just told NO. Wanted to get a drink as had 2 Half full pint drinks stolen from table when went for a ciggy and when went to order at the bar. 2 separate occasions. Complained to bar manager about early closing and drinks taken, he was uninterested, offered a bottle beer but said everyone responsible for own drink, which is fair enough but cameras everywhere and would think that they wouldn't that type clientele in their bar, but again no intrest in customer service. Have drank in many many pubs in Dublin and haven't had drink swiped from table in 30 years. Used to be a well run bar but not anymore. Very disappointed!

13/04/2025: Arrived early for our booking and was welcomed instantly and seated , the food was so good and prices fair . Can’t wait to visit next year .

24/03/2025: Ordered online and it came the next day! Best cashews I have ever had!

01/03/2025: I was looking a long time for very good quality products, until I found Nutty Delights. I was surprised that I they didn't charged me for delivery and products came so fast. Quality is really very good. For sure Nutty Delights is on my favourite spices and nut butter shop.

07/04/2025: Good typical food and friendly people

07/04/2025: The best Breton crepes in Dublin...and certainly better than some "tourist trap" creperies in Brittany....

03/04/2025: I've got a turmeric latte. It was good but nothing more than what you can get anywhere else in Dublin, except the price. Slightly more expensive than I thought but overall good

21/02/2025: I would sell a minor organ to have Tiller + Grain in my kitchen every day. There are salads, and then there are salads—the kind that make you question why you’ve ever settled for anything less. Roasted squash that tastes like it was kissed by the sun, charred broccoli with actual personality, grains that somehow feel both hearty and elegant—every bite is a masterclass in how to make healthy food wildly exciting. And then there’s owner Clair. A total legend. The kind of person who makes you feel like your lunch was made just for you. The entire team? Impeccable. They move at lightning speed but still have time to crack a joke or remember that you always want the extra charred piece of cauliflower. The place itself is warm, welcoming, and always full of people who clearly get it. You leave feeling nourished, smug in the best way, and already planning your next visit. I adore Tiller + Grain. Adore. It. If it ever closes, I will personally chain myself to the counter.
