The best restaurants in Dublin

12/12/2025: Lovely restaurant, food is to a good standard, staff very attentive.

11/12/2025: I am not always a fan of Irish food, but this place makes a fantastic boxty! Excellent drinks as well, and a wonderful, friendly staff.

04/12/2025: Nice place to go for a pint, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.

23/11/2025: Went for lunch on a Saturday. The carvery was delicious & very reasonably priced with half portions available & a good selection of desserts. Will 100% be going again.

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

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.

14/10/2025: I was there for lunch today, the food was very good and the service provided by Manu was brilliant. I definitely recommend it.

27/09/2025: Brunch was perfectly fine, nothing that will make the highlight reel but nothing to complain about either. Food was good, service was friendly, atmosphere was pleasant. All round solid, the Switzerland of eateries: neutral, polite, and the sort of place everyone agrees is ‘grand.’

02/12/2025: Good service by Ashna and also the food was good . We tried chattichore and mandi , its met our expectation👍

28/11/2025: Food and service was excellent 👌 We were late to book so it was pretty empty but can imagine that with more people it would be buzzing.

24/12/2025: Absolutely phenomenal experience, service was next level - we had a last minute change to our dining party on a holiday and the staff went well out of the way to take care of us. I am GF and there were clear gluten free options and the food was superb!! Atmosphere was festive and unparalleled - highly, highly recommend!

19/12/2025: we had a nice christmas lunch. I would highly recommens starter called Calamari... its absolutely amazing you will love it

22/12/2025: Cute teahouse with the sweetest waiter. Be sure to try the sausage rolls with relish.

05/12/2025: I have passed by this chocolatier’s many times . That changed yesterday. The layout inside is a feast for the eyes , so many beautiful chocolate creations inside . The man serving us yesterday was so friendly . We had a hot chocolate and an americano and had to try the cakes. So picked up a rocky road and a chocolate caramel shortcake. Have to say everything was outstanding. Fell in love with the place. You seriously need to give this beautiful place a visit. I know my hot chocolate and this was one of the best.

29/11/2025: The place is fine, it's clean. Good music. But the food was horrific. I got a chicken spicebag. It was dry and chewy, and felt old since at least a week ago. Barely got any peppers in it and no onions(which it says it does come with). And most of the potatoes were charred to complete blackness.The curry sauce I got with it tasted nice but had the consistency of water.The Camille thai in Santry is much better than this one, I wouldn't waste my time here if I were you.

14/11/2025: Great food We are using Camille since they opened the place 5*+

02/12/2025: A great buzz its old and quirky highly recommended.

16/11/2025: Absolutely fabulous Short Rib. Great presentation and taste. Lovely lamb stew and a fresh pint of Beamish with great friendly service.

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.

02/12/2025: Lovely place..warm and welcoming..Drew the Manager is a gentleman and is a credit to the place

30/11/2025: This was a gem! Right by the Hilton where I was staying. Great service from friendly people. John was top-notch. He made me feel like a local/regular from day one. Really enjoyed the music too. Definitely will be back.

14/12/2025: Love this place. Great food, lovely staff and music just right volume to have a conversation. Hope to visit again soon 😁

13/12/2025: We enjoyed the burgers and fish and chips with the cozy atmosphere. The Hawaiian burger was really tasty.

26/10/2025: They made a "flat white " that tasted like plain milk, when i took the lid off it was just white liquid in the cup, will never go there again. And I dont recommend it

16/10/2025: I really like coming here. The staff are so friendly and happy, and the coffee always tastes delicious!

24/09/2025: Best bubble waffle ever, and so affordable, super cute cafe and super funny workers❤️

24/09/2025: Came here w my girls after a night out most amazing service with Carlos! Such a blast and such amazing deserts!!!
