The best restaurants in Dublin

21/05/2026: My wife and I visited last night for a quick dinner before a concert. I'm so glad we booked! It's very busy and having visited, I can see why. There's nothing not to like. It's cosy, staff are lovely and the food was amazing. My wife had the Gambas pasta dish. Loads of prawns and cooked without chili as requested. I had a pizza from the specials board. Dessert was an amazing tiramisu which we couldn't finish. Given the quality of the food, we think it represents great value. We will certainly visit again, but I wish it was closer to home so we could visit often!

18/05/2026: We were bunch of hungry shouldy who has landed in Dublin and for the love of good food came in to Paulies Oh boy it truly lives up to its expectations. The vegetarian pizzas were savored more at our table for the freshness of the ingredients and the taste. The starters were great too and the tiramisu at the end was a treat. The service was great and the hosts were very gentle and helpful. All in all it was great experience

07/05/2026: So lovely! Amazing waitress Diana was very helpful

04/05/2026: Had a good experience as always. We made a mistake while ordering (didn’t read the menu right haha) and the waitress was very very kind and understanding and offered to remake the meal without the food aversion. Really really appreciated that despite it being very much our fault. Will return again :) Can’t remember her name but she was blonde, but huge shutout to her for being so kind !

17/05/2026: Taster menu was unreal great place

14/05/2026: Such a cool vibe, and amazing food! We sat downstairs (I.e, not the gold bar), which I can very much recommend doing!

13/05/2026: A great restaurant to relax and refuel after a short hike! Very friendly service, good food, and a cozy atmosphere!

12/05/2026: Nicely prepared food. What you expect.

14/05/2026: Incredibly good gnocchi and tortelini Nice staff, cozy place, but they didn't have beer

13/05/2026: Only thing I didn't totally love, is it's a very small restaurant, so I felt like I was sitting on the person next to me (not at my table). Food was authentic and delicious. Staff was friendly and it had that family owned vibe which is my favorite!

25/09/2025: Unbelievable pizza but the tatties steal the show, absolutely delicious!!

18/09/2025: We had Deanos wood fired pizza truck to celebrate work anniversary.Pizzas were amazing and staff were very quick too making them for over 40 people.Special sauce and chillie honey were class.

22/05/2026: typical pub in ireland, cheap guinness, nice service

14/05/2026: This is diamond🤩 Very cheep prices and very friendly staff. You must to see this by yourself!

15/12/2025: Went for my birthday ,food was great,staff were brilliant and a superb atmosphere

15/12/2025: A very beautiful and excellent restaurant, you can go there without hesitation. A huge thank you to Tara who was very friendly and professional during service. I also celebrated my 38th birthday there on December 14th. I also want to thank the person who found me a table at the restaurant since I arrived without a reservation. They were very welcoming and kind. I'll be back for my next birthday. Thank you Djamel

10/12/2025: Lovely cafeteria in Dublin. Best in town quality/price! Lovely service.

29/11/2025: Amazing coffee and great service. Best coffee we've had in Europe and everyone was very friendly and helpful.

12/04/2026: We had an amazing meal at Glover’s Alley. We did the tasting menu with the wine pairing and loved every course. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The wine pairings were all excellent and the Somm explained everything to us and was happy to answer our questions. We’ve done lots of tastings and this one was pretty affordable and not too pretentious. Perhaps the ambiance could’ve done with a little more attention, but overall a really excellent meal, exceptional service and a really lovely way to spend our first night in Dublin. Would highly recommend.

07/04/2026: It's been a while since I've been, but as I remember I definitely left more satisfied with the tasting menu than other Michelin star restaurants that I have visited. While I was much more of a picky eater when I went (only course I didn't enjoy at the time was a scallop ceviche, however I've expanded my tastebuds since) Price has definitely gone up since I've been there, but recommend going at least once.

04/04/2026: 10/10! Tastes good 🤤 The staff are so friendly, they offered me a free drink because they gave me the wrong order. Thank you 🙏🏻

02/04/2026: Staff and food are amazing the vibe is lovely 😁

22/05/2026: We stopped by before and after a match at Aviva. Even though the place was crowded, the staff did a great job. The blueberry pancakes were amazing!

15/05/2026: Perfect for groups or just for a quiet drink. Nice little heated outdoor area. Always friendly staff.

03/05/2026: We didn't have food this time but it is very good,it's just a great well run pub.

28/04/2026: One of the few remaining true gems in town, and a quality pint

31/05/2026: I've stayed at the Marker Hotel on my last two visits to Dublin, each lasting about a week. While the hotel is beautiful with great amenities, this most recent visit fell far short of expectations. The curtain issue: Our room curtain would not close fully, allowing light to stream in and making restful sleep nearly impossible. We reported this to staff multiple times throughout our stay. Each time we were told it was fixed, but it never was. Staff would simply force the curtain as far as it would go, and the problem persisted the moment it was reopened. On our fourth or fifth attempt, the curtain partially detached and fell on my friend. Despite further repair attempts, the issue was never resolved. While the hotel sent chocolates and wine (which we appreciated), what we needed was either a proper fix or an offer to switch rooms. The result was a week-long vacation where we never felt fully rested, hardly what you expect from an expensive room. The spa policy: We booked this hotel primarily for the spa. We understood that child access hours changed during the Christmas–New Year period and planned our days accordingly to use the spa during adult-only hours. However, multiple times we arrived to find the pool and hot tub packed with children, splashing, diving, and screaming, making it impossible to relax. When I asked staff about the discrepancy, I was told they were allowing children during adult-only hours due to check-ins. This was incredibly frustrating, as the spa was the primary reason we chose to return to the Marker. We never got to use the facilities as planned and never got to fully relax. The staff response to this issue was also insufficient. We also experienced issues with shower pressure, noise, and other minor problems. For the price point, I'm disappointed we didn't receive what we paid for. We're returning to Dublin in May and had initially planned to book the Marker again, but based on this experience, we'll unfortunately be looking elsewhere.

30/05/2026: Nothing but love for this hotel! Good location, fantastic service and all the Me ties you could ask for.

15/05/2026: Small and cozy space, very industrial style, with the option to eat at the counter. The meat is the star and is very well prepared, as are the side dishes. For me, the only downside is being so far from the city center.

02/05/2026: One of the best steak I’ve had in Dublin. It’s a bit on the expensive side but it’s yum and tender.
