The best restaurants in Dublin

16/03/2024: Itzel the best waitress ever. Very friendly and helpful. Amazing food

20/02/2024: Group of us met for a special (roundy!) Birthday meal for a couple of our great friends. 12 of us in all. Service was first-class, food was beautiful. The waiters were super, very pleasant, good-humoured, couldn't do enough for us. Altogether a first-class experience. A little pricey maybe, but we certainly got what we paid for! We'll be back.

02/04/2024: Popped in for a quick coffee on a weekday afternoon - had the vegan energy ball and black coffee, both were excellent. The cups and plates are in the theme of the cafe and very nice. The interiors are done up well and the place has a nice atmosphere. It also had a kids play area and some books for a quick read. The pastries looked delicious but we came after lunch so couldn’t try any. Staff is friendly and courteous.

31/03/2024: What a great little find! The coffee was top notch, and the banana bread was absolutely delicious 😋 also bought a cinnamon bunny to bring with us and it was amazing.

10/03/2024: Excellent restaurant, both for the quality of the food and for the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. Fantastic place, absolutely worth trying! .. wow wow wow wow dishes, you will leave happy!

04/03/2024: A lovely little gem at the end of Dalkey main street. A small intimate venue, genuine Italian food which was gorgeous, reasonable prices and very friendly staff. The first time we were there and we did not know what to expect, but we were very pleasantly surprised and since then have been back on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed. Recommended.

31/03/2024: Food was great, i really loved the interior of the restaraunt. Overall had a great time, but one thing to note is that our main courses took quite a long time to arrive, and we found quite a lot of the dishes to be quite salty

26/03/2024: First, please make a reservation. Please. You really need one. Second, Declan is one of the most gracious and charming managers I have ever met. Quick with a joke and willing to spend time with his guests, he wins over a table with ease and grace. He handled our reservation expertly and worked with me on some of our requests with no qualms. Third, the concept of a pub with upscale food might seem out of sorts to some. It didn't to me. And it rewards those who are looking for that sort of vibe. The interior is warm and inviting, without being too on-the-nose or too rustic. The music that is piped in is surprisingly retro-contemporary. The staff are knowledgeable, up to the point that our server said, politely, "You shouldn't order any more food." Who does that?!?! The food was almost perfect. Why almost? My cousin's lamb was a bit tough, with a bone-to-meat ratio that seemed off for the price (but, to be fair, we didn't complain because we were having a wonderful time and things happen). My fish was a touch dry, even as the sauce and accompaniments were delightful. Otherwise? Spot on! The starters, the sides, and the other mains were expertly prepared and delivered at a perfect pace. One standout? The oyster and tartar. Yes, you only get one per order. So, you order as many as you need. And, trust me, this is not a dish to be missed. What doesn't sound like it should work is a perfect version of surf-and-turf that I am surprised I haven't seen anywhere else! A delicious bite that leaves people stunned (and the presentation is great too). The deviled eggs are also an example of a well-priced and well-prepared starter, a solid take on an old classic made better by the addition of the brine note from the fish eggs. And then . . . the power went out! What could have been a disaster was instead handled with care. As the desserts came out under candlelight, the end of our night was as good as our start at Spitalfields. The handling of payment is just another reason to recommend this place. No power? No way to process credit cards. Trust me, it was handled wonderfully. Declan, you deserve your restaurant's accolades. Thing is, you don't act as though they are markers to which your guests are subjected (some fine dining restaurants do). Instead, you treat guests as welcomed friends. My group left with smiles on our faces and a sense of gratitude. To the one, when (not if) we return to Dublin, one of our first reservations will be at your restaurant. Thank you.

05/04/2024: Probably the best pub in Dublin but don't let Two many know because the staff are so wonderful you won't leave.

25/03/2024: Best pub for atmosphere and follow every guide line there is its spotless the bar girls constantly wiping seats when people leave friendly people everyone like a family in it

03/04/2024: Absolutely incredible and authentic Italian restaurant. Very friendly staff serving delicious food and great wine pairings. If you can get in for a table it’s worth every penny.

02/04/2024: Had a great lunch here! Food is unbelievable, wine is next to none and service is imbecile ❤️ thank you for a lovely lunch

04/04/2024: Kind, fair priced, delicious. Down to the ground and I think family business. Not a Instagram place but I loved it

29/03/2024: Real site. Cheap and good breakfasts. Very nice staff. Thank you!

03/04/2024: Nice place to visit although I didn't really know the buried characters very well. Very careful, with tourist office included (basic guide in Spanish for €2.50). Free entry bathrooms.

01/04/2024: A very helpful young woman on the information desk helped me find burial places of family members. Wonderful, efficient service.

02/04/2024: Very friendly and attentive staff. We enjoyed the food and the live music. Slightly ashamed to say that with all of our choices, we went to this pub three times in four nights.

02/04/2024: Excellent atmosphere and decoration, very friendly waitress. The food was very good and there was also live music.

02/04/2024: The food here was great and portions were generous. Looking forward to coming back. Staff was attentive and pleasant.

29/03/2024: Good Korean food and beverage to enjoy some authentic food. Place is crowded and service is good. Food is delicious and within budget comparatively. Try their burgers also we tried their chicken bowl with kimchi rice and sauce.

04/04/2024: Amazing food with incredible flavour. We have been several times. The food is delicious and very consistent. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We tried the Samosa Chaat, Onion Bhaji, Lamb Sheekh Kebab, Chicken Tikka Biryani and Veg & Paneer Biryani. I would highly recommend Kings Biryani, you will not be disappointed.

29/03/2024: I ordered food from this restaurant based on the positive reviews, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. Despite requesting spiciness, the biryani and chicken 65 were bland and overcooked, and the prices seemed high for the quality. I advise caution before ordering. It's puzzling how there are so many positive reviews; perhaps there's an incentive for them. Save your money and consider other options.

27/03/2024: Absolutely amazing cookies and pastries, can't wait to go again!

27/03/2024: Had the Seitan & Pesto wrap for lunch today. Absolutely delicious!

02/04/2024: Real old world feel and good pint at a decent price.

02/04/2024: Best pint of Guinness I ever had. It's a really nice little pub, the atmosphere is great, not too loud, and it looks great.

03/04/2024: Great wee pub, lovely atmosphere, dog friendly, great pints. Toasties available. What more could you ask for.

02/03/2024: Lovely pub. If they’d take away the flags in the ceiling it would be even better.

31/03/2024: Very enjoyable 10/10, will be back again!

30/03/2024: I highly recommend the Outcast sauna! The mixed between sauna and the cold plunging it's really cool , sauna has very good temperature and clean all the time! Chill environment! Good to relax and chill
