The best restaurants in Dublin

17/09/2026: Delicious food highly recommend

08/10/2026: Having traveled to 65 countries enjoying all kinds of restaurants and cuisine, this place joins my Never Forget category Hall Of Fame. The receptionist who welcomed us in a virtually empty space at 10 AM in the morning proceeded to inform us immediately upon sitting down that we could only have our table for one hour as it was reserved for someone else in an hour. Usually not an issue at all for us except in the manner and tone in which we were informed. We commented as such and then she doubled down and then tripled down on her assertion that we must leave within an hour. Never mind any other typical "welcome" or "can I get you something to drink" pleasantries. Honestly? All we wanted was some coffee and some eggs and toast based on the good online reviews. We didn't take an hour. More like 30 seconds later we promptly departed.

03/10/2026: Love this place, really good food and the staff were friendly and attentive. The speciality drinks are great too

13/09/2026: First visit to the Orange Goat after running the coastal path 😀🏃🏃 You guessed it-every thing is Orange 🍊 Very good coffee and good choices for breakfast. Portion quite large. I had the breakfast bun with extra hash browns 😀☕️😂🍳🥓🌭 Quite busy and waiting team working very hard but not many smiles to be seen 😀🇮🇪 Sitting inside and outside 😀 Good coffee and breakfast but if you look around in my opinion there are some outstanding cafes in Ballsbridge 😀🇮🇪 Recommended 😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

07/08/2026: Probably the best asian ever. Such a tasty and fresh genuine asian experience. We had ramen, chicken katsu curry and dumplings and wow...what a food what a taste what a service! Thank you!

16/08/2026: A wonderful, family-friendly pub. I'd love to come back again and again. Great food. Incredibly nice owner. 🍀🍀🍀

08/08/2026: Staff seemed quite annoyed by my existence.

29/07/2026: This was my first time ever experiencing Dublin and Ireland and this hotel made it that much more amazing. This gorgeous hotel sits just a 25 minute walk away from the city centre, which is great for me because I love a scenic walk! It is just close enough to experience everything the centre has to offer, but also be in the quieter bits of town when it's time to turn in for the night. I was solo traveling for the first time and felt extremely safe here. I had a single room for 3 nights, for around 147 euro a night, and had a gorgeous view. I was in room 420 and it looked directly out to the Museum of Literature, which is a stunning historic cathedral that has been converted into a museum! The room was the most adorable room with its charming wallpaper and furniture. Perfect for an old soul and history lover such as myself. The staff were so beyond lovely, and super understanding when I needed to have my room held due to a 24 flight delay from the states. And was able to check in with no hassle when I finally landed. Breakfast was included with my reservation and it was a lovely selection! They also have 2 restaurants, one that serves lunch, and one for dinner. And while I never utilized them, they were lovely to walk through while I was there. I would highly recommend staying if you are someone who values a quieter experience while in the city, something more with a bit more historic charm than a commercial hotel, and want to experience a slower pace within the fast past city.

24/06/2026: Friendly hotel. Good location for transport and walking. Northside nearer Croke park . Lots of steps/stairs in hotel. Old building with nice period features, room spacious , great shower room.. strange wardrobe set up nowhere to hang a dress even for shorter lady like myself even a knee length dress... Coeliac friendly gluten free options for cooked and buffet breakfast, great service at breakfast!!! International hotel. 24 hr reception

28/05/2026: On Thursday, 28 May at approximately 3:10 PM, three colleagues and I — professionals from nearby offices — visited The Art of Coffee. We are from different countries, but Russian is the common language we can speak. All of us made our orders in English and at no point were we loud, disruptive, or discussing politics. We were speaking Russian in the queue, a young female barista with brown hair abruptly asked us to stop speaking Russian inside the café. When I asked why the language was a problem, she referenced the war in Ukraine and personal family loss. While one can sympathise with personal tragedy, it does not justify hostility toward peaceful customers because of the language they speak. The situation escalated when I was questioned about whether Russian was “really” my language. When I asked for the barista’s name and requested to speak with management, she refused to identify herself and confidently stated that the manager “hates Russian language and anything Russian,” adding that we could only speak to management another day. This felt openly discriminatory and hateful on the basis of language and perceived nationality. In an international city like Dublin, nobody should feel unwelcome for peacefully speaking their native language in private conversation. Such discriminatory and hateful comments can be rightfully escalated to the appropriate city or equality authorities. It is especially disappointing given the café’s visible support for Ukraine, a country associated with European values such as tolerance and respect for linguistic and cultural diversity. We left peacefully after paying, but the experience was deeply disappointing and unacceptable.

18/03/2026: Great atmosphere and lovely barista. Will be back here again :)

25/09/2026: Really nice little pizza joint if you want a casual meal and a cocktail. Pizza was really nice, atmosphere is lovely and cosy. I'd recommend.

07/09/2026: Really nice lil place. Amazing pizzas and excellent service.

17/09/2026: A humble cafe that happens to host the nicest scone and nicest staff in all of Dublin

16/09/2026: Great wholesome Irish food. Ideal for lunch.

19/07/2026: Service was incredibly slow. So bad we had to get our food to go, as we had to go to work . They do have a sign up saying there maybe a 25 minute wait on food at busy times. Think we were waiting 40mins for 2 full Irish breakfasts. Figure out your kitchen operations. Staff were pleasant. Food was tasty enough. Best hash browns I've ever had 👌🏻 If you are there for a leisurely brunch , then it would be enjoyable. Just dont be in a hurry

15/07/2026: Great food and atmosphere. The place can get busy so expect some wait during peak hours. 👍

29/06/2026: The little coffee shop 😍 is so good service is fantastic and very good quality food and the prices are very good enjoy coffee ☕️ with beautiful people in the 4 coffee shop 😊 😀

10/06/2026: Nice atmosphere,lounge staff very friendly,food was good.Would visit again.

14/07/2026: THE pub in Cabra Great supporter of Bohemian FC Well worth a visit!

03/07/2026: Atmospheric Irish pub. Prices are also affordable. 🇵🇱🇮🇪👍🏻

05/09/2026: I purchased a yoghurt here recently but when I picked it up it leaked onto my clothes as it was already burst. Staff were apologetic about this.

24/08/2026: Graduated and decided to give it a comment. Most staff are nice. However deli wasn’t good. Once had some spoiled food in summer causing me diarrhoea. And an auntie in deli named Ellen wasn’t nice. Bad attitude. Had some bad experience with her in the winter of 2024. Didn’t know where that anger towards customers was from.
