The best restaurants in Dublin

10/05/2026: We stayed two nights in the Brooks hotel while in Dublin. I thought the hotel was very nice and in a good location for walking to the main attractions we planned on visiting. I give them a 4 only because we arrived at the hotel after a long international flight at 11:30 am local time. We asked if they had a room available since we desperately needed a shower and short nap to recover. They said yes, but it would be $30 euro. As we were exhausted we said ok, however, it is not like they were going to give the room to someone else for 3.5 hours. This seemed like a chintzy way to treat your guests when you had the room clean already. Not a good look for such a nice hotel. It is the little things that you remember when choosing a hotel.

09/03/2026: Amazing stay! The staff were absolutely incredible—so friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed. The room was extremely tidy and well looked after, and the beds were really comfortable which made it easy to relax after a long day. The location is also great, with easy access to the city centre, which made getting around really convenient. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

19/05/2026: Joe behind bar excellent addition to staff Very friendly and funny greets everyone with a smile

16/05/2026: Platters for party were poor. Chicken wings on them looked like they were from sparrows, they were that small

06/12/2025: Excellent coffee options. Food is great too. Try the jam-jams

04/12/2025: A modern and well-organised cafe that feels open even during busy hours. The layout avoids crowding and noise, allowing for a comfortable, extended stay. It’s a dependable place to sit back, talk or unwind, especially when you want a controlled environment that doesn’t feel hectic or overstimulating.

29/10/2025: Vegan food option and great coffee. 🧡

17/10/2025: THE STAFF ARE EXCELLENT AND WELCOMING

31/12/2025: Great restaurant with Brazilian food right in the center of Dublin, good price and very good service.

30/12/2025: I'm Nilson, and on the last Friday of the year I went to the restaurant for dinner for the first time. And I can only thank you for the excellent service and the wonderful food. For me, the best barbecue in Dublin. Thank you very much to everyone who works there.

30/11/2025: 5 Euros for a latte, won't be back

27/11/2025: A charming, cozy spot with amazing coffee, lovely staff and delicious treats. So glad I found this place, it’s definitely going into my regular go-to routine!

16/09/2025: Love getting the matcha here and the atmosphere is amazing. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. 🥰🥰

15/09/2025: Love the coffee and staff is super friendly.

14/05/2026: The best coffee in Din Laoghaire.

03/05/2026: Probably my favourite coffee in the area. Vey good quality. The matcha is also very good.

06/05/2026: Stopped in for lunch on a weekday. Friendly staff and good food and value. Will be back to enjoy the night music.

29/04/2026: Great Pub for meeting Shels fans , food good, service good, near Tolka, what's not to like. Staff are always helpful. There is table service. Toilets were spotless on my last visit.

26/05/2026: I'm all about finding good seafood in Ireland and you can't go wrong with The Eagle's Seafood Linguine and the Cod with veggies in Dun Laoghaire. Definitely delicious, large portion and very clearly well made and presented. I will be back for more.

22/05/2026: I booked The Eagle over a month ago for 9pm this evening. I specifically booked The Eagle as they had a table at 9pm and I had visitors flying in so we couldn’t eat earlier. A few days ago they asked me to confirm my booking which I did. Imagine my shock when today at 3pm they called me to tell me they’ve changed the hours of the kitchen and could I come in at 8pm. I explained why that wasn’t feasible, this meant I now had no venue for my guests, their attitude was that it wasn’t their problem. I asked why they were only giving me six hours notice and they admitted that they should have informed me days (if not weeks ago). Whilst they apologised they made no effort to make amends for their unreasonable conduct. I am a local resident. I have booked The Eagle for food reasonably regularly. I even booked it every December for a large party (14-18 people) but I shall no longer be using it as I see how unreliable they are. Big shout out to Benitos in Dalkey who have found us a table last minute, we are very grateful to you. Edit: I just looked at the booking system for The Eagle. You can still book tables up to 9.15pm which makes me wonder did they lie to me or have they not updated their website.

30/10/2025: A wonderful café in Dublin! We had lunch here — chicken with vegetables and potatoes, and a burger with fries. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted amazing: the chicken was juicy, the vegetables fresh, and the sauce perfectly balanced the dish. The burger was rich in flavor, with melted cheese, fresh veggies, and a nicely toasted bun. Cozy atmosphere, quick and friendly service. Great spot for lunch — I’ll definitely come back!

21/09/2025: Very nice Nice food Good service

03/05/2026: What a pleasant surprise- really good pizza with a tasty thin crust- tasty toppings and a super nice proprietor. The shop is nice & modern. Loved the buffalo cheese!

21/03/2026: Excellent pizza, nice calm and relaxed atmosphere

10/04/2026: Riccardo was the best server, we had so much fun, will definitely be back

10/04/2026: Amazing evening, Ricardo was so attentive😊

25/05/2026: Quirky and one of a kind, but also relaxing, inviting, and friendly describes this place well. We watched some locals play snookers, and quickly got wrapped up in the friendly games. It felt like a bit of an oasis in the usual loud bustle of pubs. With my food rating I'm talking about drinks, and pub snacks, I don't think that any actual food is served here.

15/05/2026: Best bar in the city trust me, I would know. I've been to exactly four bars in the five hours I've been here and it was swell.

28/09/2025: Loved this place!!! So sad its closed

16/09/2025: Nice restaurant. Service was really slow but staff were friendly.
