The best restaurants in Dublin

17/04/2025: Great heated terrace, the servers are very responsive, however I had a burger (the first one, the most classic), I was disgusted by the taste of the steak, advertised as black angus, I doubt that it was, it had the same taste as the frozen steaks with onions from Lidl, I couldn't finish the burger because the steak didn't taste like meat....

16/04/2025: Really great service! Food was very good, awesome pub! Thank you!!!

25/03/2025: Good spot for games, slow service if you're sitting outside, but worth it, good people

15/03/2025: Unbelievable craic after a 🏉 match

08/04/2025: Had an amazing business lunch in glover alley last week - easily the best lunch I’ve had in Dublin. Bbq pigeon was incredible. Staff were very friendly - Mathieu is an excellent host

14/03/2025: I don’t usually leave reviews but felt it was important here to let the team know at Glovers Alley how good a job they did. From the moment we walked in we were taken care of in the fantastic setting of the restaurant. We had a 3 course lunch and it was exceptional. Can’t fault any of it. Head chef Andy came out and chatted to us for 20 mins which topped off our day and really made the experience. You wouldn’t get that in other restaurants of this caliber. Can’t wait to go back.

20/02/2025: Excellent Guinness, good service.

17/02/2025: Proper pub. Great Guinness, nice outdoor area

06/04/2025: Very good food, for acceptable price and good service! I'd recommend it any day of the week. The Chef is pure class!

31/03/2025: Great food, great service, great atmosphere - what more could you want? We followed other Trip Advisor reviews as we were in the hotel next door - and we just couldn't walk any further. The wife's face when we walked in spoke a thousand words. Looks like the type of place where the piano stops playing and all the locals stop talking and glare at you. Don't be put off it isn't like that at all and the wife really warmed to the place. More authentic than a lot of the other 'authentic' pubs advertised in Dublin.

14/04/2025: The gelato is okay, but hardly very good. The outlet is grossly overpriced

06/04/2025: The moment you walk by, the wonderful aroma pulls you in. Even if there’s a long line, don’t worry—the staff is super fast and efficient. You’ll be enjoying what might be the best ice cream in Dublin in just five minutes. Mint chocolate was my favorite

04/04/2025: One of my personal favorite FX Buckley locations. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is by far the best you'll find in dublin. I personally recommend the ribeye and the barrel and bone cocktail, they never disappoint

03/04/2025: Lovely Evening with work colleagues , started with Scallops and Pork Belly followed by SurF and Turf and finished with a Cheesecake and Cappuccino , food was excellent and will definitely be back

21/03/2025: A really lovely little café. The girls are super friendly and attentive. The drinks and food were absolutely delicious. I'll be back!

19/03/2025: Service and food is very excellent and the staffs are dealing with the customers with a professional manner. We would highly recommend this place and for enjoying the real taste of Koffee & Kale.

06/04/2025: Extremely neglected by the cashier at the front desk. Today, I went to eat at this buffet and was the first in line at the door. Then, a bunch of people arrived after me and walked straight in. So I followed them inside to queue properly. When it was finally my turn, the woman at the front desk told me she needed to seat a “reserved” table first and asked me to step aside and wait. I was there with my children, and we waited and waited. Meanwhile, many people who were behind me in line came in saying things like, “I need a table for three,” or “We’re four,” and she just seated them right away. I asked her politely, “Should I come back later or…?” She gave an awkward smile and ignored me. Completely ignored me. Eventually, almost everyone behind me had been seated, and I was still standing there with my kids. I stayed calm and told her, “I don’t want to make trouble, but are you being racist?” And unbelievably, her response was that all of them had reservations. That is a blatant lie — none of them mentioned any reservation or even gave their names. This was by far the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. Absolutely unacceptable. We will never go back again.

06/04/2025: Worst ever visit in the restaurant. The timing says 9 PM closing but actually they are closing 1.45 hr early. If this is the case why can’t restaurant keep this info on their website and not just misguide their customers with timings. Pathetic and this is second time.

17/04/2025: Great pub that looks authentic auld Irish. Nice food n hood Guinness.

15/04/2025: The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Lovely spacious and clean restaurant. We only ate there once, but we would definitely go back again and would highly recommend it.

05/02/2025: Great coffee, great food, great service!

29/01/2025: Love this little spot. Staff are lovely and always a great cup of coffee ☕️ ❤️ 👌

25/03/2025: Awesome little gem in Capel Street! Do yourself a favour, walk into the shop, get a table and order this super tasty bowl. Super recommended!

18/03/2025: I was here last time 8 years ago. Unfortunately, the beef was quite fatty. I had it better in memory.

11/04/2025: Great restaurant with authentic Irish dishes. The staff is warm and smiling. The only downside is the price: the dishes are certainly very good, but a bit expensive. I recommend it if you want good local cuisine. Great restaurant with authentic Irish dishes. The staff is warm and smiling.

10/04/2025: A great find. Great atmosphere & service . Leave room to try the Bread & Butter pudding for dessert the best I've ever tasted. The main meals are great too by the way.

16/03/2025: All kinds best coffee beans 🫘 😋 yummy on the tummy

15/03/2025: The BEST coffee Ive had in ages. Lovely staff. So happy it's my local while staying in Dublin. Cant wait until tomorrow!

23/03/2025: Went for corporate drinks with large groups. Snacks served were nice. Nicest bar wine I've ever had. Especially the Malbec. Nice bar atmosphere but a slight bit crampy in a cornered off area. Staff didn't know were not aware of corporate reservation and had to say name 5x before someone copped on.

17/03/2025: Very off putting to have a guy in the toilet hassling you for tips when he gives you kitchen roll for drying your hands even if you say no thanks. Not sure why they allow this in their toilets.
