The best restaurants in Dublin

24/08/2025: Great venue for a work event. Right on the river you can do team building racing on the river followed by a BBQ and a nice bar and function room for a few beers.

31/07/2025: Had a family party here , would recommend to anyone for a small private function, good facilities and ambience. The club members were very helpful as well.

31/07/2025: Amazing and helpful staff! I dropped in for an iced coffee and the staff helped me store some luggage while I enjoyed the area before my flight. Really kind of them!

21/07/2025: Such a cute atmospherical place, coffee is amazing and the people are even better. Must visit

10/05/2026: The hotel is a 30-minute drive from the airport. A great pub is a 10-minute walk down the road.

06/05/2026: Good location for Dublin area access. Food is decent and great staff. Nice pint of Guinness.

09/05/2026: Great family run restaurant with fresh tasty food!

08/05/2026: Vegetarians/Vegans beware. Ordered from this restaurant for the first time today. I ordered the Bulgogi Tofu, which is specified on their online menu as a “Top Vegan” option. When I received I started eating but started getting suspicious of the texture and appearance of the “tofu”, when I looked it up it turned out that what I had been sent was the chicken bulgogi. I am now sitting here completely sick and upset. The restaurant needs to be SERIOUSLY careful about what they send customers, especially when sending out something that they recognise is either a dietary choice/ requirement. This could have gone very badly if I had an allergy…

14/05/2026: Good burger and very good sweet potato fries. Love the simplicity of the call card menu.

20/04/2026: Delivers high quality food for a pretty decent price. Burgers and shakes are excellent, fries aren't the best but are still worth the price. Service is good and fast as long as you don't go at absolute peak times (e.g. I was seated in about ten minutes on Monday night and left after waiting for about an hour on Friday night).

18/11/2025: Lovely and super attentive staff! The portion sizes are very decent and the food is delicious! Will definitely be back again!

26/10/2025: Really good food and excellent service. A must visit if you are in Blanch village. Place is super clean and the ambience is good.

30/04/2026: This was our first stop after dropping off our luggage at our hotel after an overnight flight from Canada. We had a delicious brunch of various savoury and sweet crepes from courteous and quick staff. I would definitely recommend. They have seating inside and a pation in warmer weather.

20/04/2026: It’s one thing pay a tip when it’s deserved but to trick people at the pay counter with a contact list … tap it thinking you’re paying the bill & it’s just a tip machine. The guy saying oh thanks with a smirk on his face like he got over on me! Plus the coffee wasn’t even warm enough! Way too expensive for what it was!! You’re better off going to Butlers next door. No thanks. Never again

10/05/2026: We went last Monday with my son to eat before leaving to return to Italy. Beautiful place with a view of the canal and a relaxing atmosphere. We ate well and the service was excellent.

10/05/2026: Loved the look of this restaurant. We came for brunch and i was set on a burger. When I got to ordering, I was told they were out of burgers. Was just a little annoyed because it could have been mentioned when our menus were handed to us. None the less, the chicken and waffles i ordered was amazing! My wife's pizza also tasted really good. Will give this place another shot for sure.

06/12/2025: Great food, pleasant service. Would 100% recommend and go back

26/11/2025: For all you chicken lovers, this is the perfect place! Chicken in all its forms, a delight in every dish. My favorite is the Caesar salad, exquisite!

31/03/2026: I booked this place for 2 nights as a last minute change in plans. Check in was easy. Staff were very nice. location is perfect. The bar/restaurant is great. Room was nice cozy and not noisy. Would stay again.

03/02/2026: Fantastic food atmosphere and staff couldn't ask for more would definitely stay again

23/07/2025: Terrible experiencia, el puño del camarero no tenía experiencia, luego cambió más y cuando me di cuenta de eso y le dije que se estaba haciendo el tonto y luego fue realmente grosero, al final el gerente me devolvió el dinero pero el camarero fue un dolor.

14/06/2025: i went into the circular with pure joy. the atmosphere was amazing with the music the people and the workers. i ordered a coke zero and got served by a lovely young man called denise he kept me accompanied and made me feel welcome. amazing service

07/05/2026: The waitress made the experience extra special. She was so attentive and friendly especially with our little baby.

03/05/2026: We stumbled upon it by chance and we loved it, the food is excellent and the staff are very attentive.

11/05/2026: Great overall experience. The location was convenient, and the quality of service was excellent.

10/05/2026: InterContinental Dublin (by IHG) — Short Enthusiast Overview InterContinental Dublin A refined 5-star luxury hotel in the elegant Ballsbridge district of Dublin, InterContinental Dublin is one of the city’s most spacious and classical luxury stays — known for its resort-like calm, large landscaped gardens, and traditional grand-hotel feel just minutes from the city centre. Originally opened in 2001 (and formerly the Four Seasons), it remains one of Dublin’s most established high-end hotels, operated by IHG Hotels & Resorts. Atmosphere Think: A quiet urban palace set inside gardens — formal, polished, and intentionally calm, despite being in a capital city. It feels less like a modern boutique hotel and more like a grand international residence: marble, chandeliers, wide corridors, and soft classical luxury rather than trendy design. Why it stands out Located in leafy Ballsbridge, one of Dublin’s most prestigious residential areas Set on large private grounds with gardens and sculpture paths Known for some of the largest hotel rooms and suites in Dublin Full resort-style facilities (spa, pool, gym, dining, events) inside a city hotel Quiet atmosphere despite being close to central Dublin Signature experiences 🏊 Indoor swimming pool with large windows and spa access 🧖 ESPA-style spa with treatments, steam room, and wellness suites 🍽 Multiple dining spaces including lounge dining and afternoon tea in elegant rooms 🛏 Very large rooms and suites with marble bathrooms and garden or city views 🌿 Garden walks and landscaped outdoor areas inside the hotel grounds What enthusiasts love most The space (rooms feel unusually large for Dublin standards) The calm, almost “country hotel inside a city” atmosphere Beautiful gardens that soften the urban location Strong sense of traditional 5-star service and formality Ideal balance of privacy + accessibility Style & character Compared with other Dublin luxury hotels: More classical and spacious than The Fitzwilliam Less modern and dramatic than The Marker Quieter and more residential than The Shelbourne Less boutique, more “grand hotel residence” Best described as: “A tranquil garden palace hotel hidden inside Dublin’s most elegant district.” Best for Luxury city stays with peace and space Business + diplomatic travel style stays Spa relaxation in a calm environment Guests who prefer classic, formal luxury over modern design hotels Longer stays where room comfort matters Official site: InterContinental Dublin Official Website
