The best restaurants in Dublin

18/10/2025: Fine pub. Great pint of Guinness and lots of TV screens to engage. Don't be put off by its size when you first walk in.

16/08/2025: Killmardinny Inn is a fantastic Irish pub with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It's perfect for families, groups of friends, and anyone looking to enjoy a good time. The live band is a real highlight – great music and great vibes! Staff are very attentive, and the service is excellent. A big congratulations to the owners for creating such a welcoming place. Highly recommended – a must-visit spot in the area!

26/09/2025: the food here is always delicious, the service is quick, staff are friendly, n the music is great too. only issue w the place is that they are card only but most are these days so it’s nothing big

24/09/2025: From my personal experience it is good, especially Fritopol.

10/10/2025: Lovely staff and chef Amazing potatoes.

13/09/2025: I absolutely loved going there for breakfast and the prices are good and the food was amazing every time. Brendan and his staff are all so nice and caring absolutely recommend going to this place.

13/06/2025: My husband Kevin and I celebrated our wedding reception at Medley, Dublin this May and we truly couldn’t have imagined a better place to host the best day of our lives. As two proud Dubs, we always knew we wanted a city-centre wedding. We chose Smock Alley for our ceremony, and after a short (and very scenic!) 10-minute stroll, with a few stops at some of Dublin’s iconic pubs of course, our guests arrived at Medley for the reception. From our first visit right through to the final dance, the team at Medley, especially our coordinator Chris, went above and beyond. This type-A bride sent hundreds of emails and had a million little questions, and not once did I feel like anything was too much. They made everything feel effortless, personal, and seamless. We were after a vibe that was laid-back but beautiful, and a space where all generations, could feel relaxed and spoiled. Medley delivered all that and more. The food was a standout — not your standard wedding fare, but something genuinely special and delicious. No soup or meat-and-two-veg here (unless you want it, in which case they’d still nail it). We would recommend Medley a thousand times over. Every time we walk through Dublin city centre now, we get to pass by the place where we had one of the happiest days of our lives, and that still gives us a little buzz. I have no doubt we’ll be back again soon as guests, raising a glass to someone else’s big day.

This type of service is wonderful to have still in Ireland . This pub should be supported because they care about people first and foremost. . I will definitely be back. Thank you

06/11/2025: Top restaurant with very authentic food and extremely generous portions. The owner will go out of his way to make sure you're catered for and enjoying your time there. Highly recommended for Mediterranean and middle eastern cuisine.

02/11/2025: Took a chance this afternoon and arrived without a reservation. Very friendly greeting on arrival and facilitated immediately with a table for 3.On heading to our table we were greeted by Moustafa and we asked him for his recommendations. We opted for hummus and falafel for starters followed by moussaka,kefta and lamb chops. The food here is phenomenal with all the different tastes blending together seamlessly. For dessert we had baklava and coffees and the in-house made baklava is amazing. Thank you so much to Moustafa and his staff for a wonderful afternoon.

18/10/2025: Fantastic shop very well stocked and very helpful and knowledgeable staff

16/10/2025: Hadn’t been paddling in years …. Brought my old dry suit to have the gaskets done …. Spoke with Keith and Hugh …. They followed up …., practical and extremely helpful …. Very trustworthy in what they suggested ….. would build a lot of confidence in their leadership in a cynical oul fella like me …

15/09/2025: Gorgeous spot with great coffee, love the pastries, its my go to spot in north Dub

01/08/2025: their coffee and biscoff cookie was sooo good! ☕️🍪

12/10/2025: Very disappointed with the seafood paella — it tasted like tomato soup or risotto, not a paella. The rice was overcooked, and the price for that dish was not worth it. We’ve been here a few times, but this visit will be our last. Not recommended.

15/09/2025: I do not leave reviews very often, but Rudy’s was worth it. We were recommended this spot by a customer service agent at another store who said they had great food, and they were absolutely right. We stopped in for dinner on our last night in Dublin, and it was amazing. The food was top notch, the portions were filling, and the service made the whole experience memorable. The gentleman working and the young woman on staff were both so kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made us feel right at home. This ended up being one of the best restaurants we visited on our trip. It is clearly a favorite among locals, and even though we were staying near the airport, it was easy to get to. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Dublin.

29/09/2025: Nice pint of guissness..quiet on a Monday..

27/09/2025: Just a great pub all round. Food is consistently good. Service excellent. Occasionally the music is a bit loud.....but that says more about my age than the pub/music! 😄

10/08/2025: My partner and I left vomiting all night and extreme stomach sickness after eating here, no manager to speak to, to help deal with this situation, was left speaking to the assistant manager who has no clue what she is doing and accused me of lying just to get my money back, told me to go get proof that im sick from the doctor, said her name was Monica just talked over me the whole time on the phone and acuused me of lying and was shouting at me the whole phonecall, absolutely horrible person, has no place in a customer service job, please dont eat in this dump unless you want to be sick and abused

19/06/2025: Food so good staff are so helpful and friendly

02/10/2025: Dive bar with craft beer, weird crowd
