The best restaurants in Dublin

25/05/2025: We came searching Parnell heritage as my husband Ron Parnell and his family (Don Parnell,Dana Tucker, Lindsi Wake, Deedee Reinert, Judy Parnell-Hernandez, Wendy Parnell, Brody Wake) are related to the infamous Charles Parnell. We went to see his statue, Parnell Square, Parnell Street and best of all The Parnell Family visited the famous The Parnell Heritage Pub & Grill. After having a Guinness 🍻 and a fabulous Sunday Roast dinner- The owner Louis Broder took us for a fun and learning tour of the pub!! He was so kind he had us behind the bar pulling the tap, and even gave Ron Parnell a bottle of limited Parnell porter !! The food was great the people better!! Thank you for an experience of a life time!! We will never forget it, Louis!

23/05/2025: I visited here to taste Irish stew🙃👍

29/05/2025: Really tasty pastries and lovely coffee.

29/05/2025: Really good bakery. Supertasty and rich in flavours.

19/05/2025: Well I am living in Clontarf for years aways had good experience with the shads but today almost closing pub time me and my friend played music on my phone outside of the place and the manager kick us out because of it, in a summer night and end of night looks that was a bad thing be having fun, still don’t get it how that was so bad, shame on you the sheds…

10/05/2025: Was at The Viking Theatre here. Great space with super atmosphere!

28/05/2025: Always a pleasure - friendly welcome and efficient service. The setting is typical of a pub but elegant! A good selection of cocktails, traditional Irish pub menu. A good local address for a family lunch and/or to watch a match.

20/05/2025: Aye here in advance of a leinster match and the food was delicious. Small group, we all got burgers. My burger was the vegan burger and it has to be one of the best vegan burgers I've ever had. Chips were delicious too. Loved the atmosphere and the rugby memorabilia that decorates the walls.

20/05/2025: Great atmosphere and service. My wife had a lamb pie dish which was dry. I had hake which was excellent. I would definitely go again. It was a beautiful sunny Saturday evening by the water.

18/05/2025: We actually went back here nearly a month back but I didn’t get a chance to write then and I just thought it it now. It was a really nice experience . Great staff which I have to commend but didn’t think my meal was perfect it was a bit small for portion size overall. We had a nice date night though and we’re happy overall

31/05/2025: Gran comida y servicio como antes, pero después de pagarles más de 400 € incluyendo propina discutieron con nosotros por un cinco! Mala forma...

19/05/2025: Café di Napoli is the best Italian restaurant in Dublin. We are always well served and the food is absolutely delicious. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.

21/05/2025: perfect place to get coffee and breakfast/lunch at an affordable price. lots of space to sit, limited outdoor seating, very clean, and friendly service. food came out quickly. great for tourists

11/05/2025: A not so hidden gem! Love this spot

03/05/2025: Lovely people are working there. Great buzz in the place. Had a couple of drinks here before the Sound House upstairs opened at 23.00 for a Hard Techno and D&B. Prices weren't bad for Dublin. On Edens Quay.

30/04/2025: Really love this place. The waitress Catharina was so lovely and helpful

11/05/2025: The place isn't everything, you don't really feel welcomed, the staff is a bit of a jerk, except at breakfast, but for the bar, no, the staff really leaves something to be desired. The room then, for the price of an exclusive, is nothing exclusive. Not up to expectations, and don't trust the photos. Otherwise the hotel itself is pretty, but once again, the location is not everything. So I don't recommend it.

11/05/2025: BEWARE!!! They cancelled our room 3 days before arrival, booked 7 months in advance! Horrible! They never gave us an explanation. Also asked them why we were being displaced versus others that had booked after us.... no explanation again. They said they "upgraded" us to a room in downtown Dublin for a "discounted rate" of $250 for the night. Quick online search and same average hotel ware $168/night. What a joke. Would NEVER recommend to anyone and would never try to go back. Zero stars.

28/05/2025: I loved this boutique style hotel. Lovely rooms and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

27/05/2025: Fantastic hotel. Great location, great staff. Maeve and Laura are amazing. Very friendly and professional. Breakfast is wonderful

10/05/2025: Great bartenders and a bit off the main path.

06/05/2025: We had an amazing time at The Wild Duck in Dublin—easily one of the highlights of our trip. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the drinks were top-notch (the Guinness was perfect, of course!). Whether you're a local or just visiting, this place is a must. Can’t wait to come back!

28/04/2025: My favourite pub. Been going here on n off for a few years and the food and drinks are constantly 5 star. The waitresses are all very nice, kind and helpful as well. Honestly the best meals out there and this isn't a paid review. Just love the place and the old style of the interior as well. Will be back soon as usual ❤️

26/04/2025: Great spot. Been coming here for years and never disappointed. Whether it be on my own, with friends, or a larger get together, always a good time. Food is always great, and service is lovely. Vibe is chill and cool decor

15/05/2025: Lovely menu with plenty of variety especially vegetarian dishes.

10/05/2025: Great pub, especially neds bar, Staff and customers are so nice and chatty, Food is amazing

26/04/2025: The staff are so warm and friendly. Absolute legends. 5* coffee too!

15/03/2025: Great spot for a lovely coffee & a nice pastry. Very friendly staff.

19/05/2025: Food tasted like Chinese food masked as Japanese food, which makes sense because the place is not operated by Japanese. As if that's not bad enough, the place is so small that the restroom is only separated by a made-up wooden sliding door at the back of the room. Each time a guest or worker goes to the restroom, that door is often not closed back - exposing the toilet 🚽🪠 bowl to all who are unlucky to be seated at the back of the room. Unsanitary and frankly utterly ridiculous. I am guessing the only reasons why this place is even popular are for two reasons. First, some folks cannot distinguish the difference between Chinese and Japanese cuisines. Second, there is no other place that serve sushi in the vicinity. We will never return. We would rather eat take-out pizza.

16/05/2025: Excellent sushi spot in Dublin! Fast service and a great atmosphere. The servers give fortune cookies at the end.
