The best restaurants in Dublin

23/08/2026: We had a lovely dinner at O'Sheas . The staff very nice and welcoming . We had a Sirloin Steak with fries and salad . The meat was just perfect , very good size and was exactly the way we asked. I recommend and I would go back again for sure ! Thank you all

22/08/2026: The bread and Guiness Stew are amazing

20/12/2025: Nice Bar with Latino Vibes thanks to the excellent Carlos the Barman. We spent a perfect birthday gathering there.

13/11/2025: The friendliest staff the nicest pints the best athmosphere do go and enjoy a gem in the heart of dublin.

03/09/2026: Chicken inside the chicken balls is not a breast of chicken it's slimy and disgusting

24/08/2026: I get food from Summer Inn Artane most weekends and their spice bag is the best I’ve had around tbh. I’ve tried a few others around including Golden City which is very good too, but Summer Inn Artane wins for me. The chicken is great, the chips are great, and it’s full of flavour and seasoning. Very tasty. Can’t recommend it enough.

29/09/2026: The Food was really delucious!! We had the Butter chicken with Rice and really enjoyed it. The waiter was also genuinely soo nice and accomodating

27/09/2026: Lovely food and excellent customer service

14/09/2026: horrible place staff are so rude especially thomas, waiting a hour for food and man called me crazy and told other staff to not bring my food yet, he also dipped his finger in my curry before eating it. my daughter caught it on the way to the bathroom passing a small corridor where i seen into the kitchen as he was just walking out, disgusting and i am disgusted worst resturant i’ve ever been to. also got overcharged was waiting for the bill for about 30 minuets and was argued with when questioning the bill.

02/09/2026: Very authentic food and great service!

20/09/2026: Always good for a few pints before a game.

03/07/2026: A true Irish pub atmosphere, lots of beer and drinks available. Very popular.

14/08/2026: The new food service team in Quinlans Clondalkin serve a fantastic menu, while the menu is not extensive the food is fantastic. A favourite would be the Korean chicken and Bao buns which was excellent. King prawn tacos, smash burger and chicken burgers were all excellent too. Service was fantastic as always.

09/08/2026: Brand new carvery today, amazing food and experience. As a trained chef, critical of food, I can say with confidence this is the best pub carvery I've ever had. The stuffing was beyond good, turkey and beef was moist. Salmon was a lovely touch. Large high walled yorkshires. Real carrots cabbage and gravy. The kids had a little natural farm ice-cream for dessert. The staff were lovely, happy and helpful. If you're considering a carvery, a Sunday roast, an authentic Irish pub experience.... Come here.

06/09/2026: Super venue in the heart of Drumcondra. First time visit. Food was fantastic and the value was good.. They were busy.

04/09/2026: Expensive for the terrible level of service. Enjoyed meals here in the past but today when I brought my family of five out for dinner, I ordered the €41 steak and requested a simple substitution: swapping the onion side for mixed vegetables. I was informed my the manager that they don't accommodate swaps and that I would be charged the full €6.85 for an additional side dish. I even offered to pay the €1 price difference between the items, but this was also declined. At this price point, a basic level of flexibility and customer service is to be expected. Refusing a minor request so rigidly felt incredibly unwelcoming and won't have me returning.

28/09/2026: Would definitely recommend this shop for anyone looking to order spicy pizzas. Just tell them to make it spicy.

27/09/2026: place is dirty. food good but yeah

20/09/2026: Had a really enjoyable night overall, and I want to give special recognition to one of the security guards who was genuinely lovely. There was a small misunderstanding while we were dancing. I accidentally bumped into someone and immediately apologised, and a few drops of my drink ended up on another person. I apologised to him as well, but unfortunately the response was quite confrontational, which left me feeling uncomfortable. When we spoke to security about it, one of the security guards was absolutely brilliant. He took us aside, listened to what had happened and was incredibly reassuring. He made us feel respected, heard and safe, and handled the situation in such a calm and professional way. I really want to say a massive thank you to him, because after an uncomfortable interaction, having a security guard respond with that level of kindness and understanding made a huge difference. He deserves a lot of recognition for how he treated us. For reference, this was on the night of 19–20 September, at approximately 23:50, so hopefully the management team can identify the security guard who was working at that time and pass on my thanks to him. Overall, we had a good night, but I especially wanted to leave this review so that his kindness and professionalism don't go unnoticed. ❤️

19/09/2026: Food & drinks was good. Service was a little slow but I think we arrived during a shift change as staff seemed to be switching over or going on breaks. Overall would recommend!

03/07/2026: Great coffee, lovely friendly staff, the almond croissants are not to be missed. Can be a bit expensive- Citywest.

27/06/2026: Staff really nice. It's a great little coffee shop.

04/10/2026: The average price of a burger with chips in Dublin ranges from €15.95 to €19.95 but not in Waterbank Gastro Bar, because they decided to price their meal above the market for some reasons so you will be expected to pay 21.50 euros for below average quality meal. Be ready that waiters won't know much about the meal or what's going on in the kitchen, so the service is rather shocking. After 20 minutes of order being made a waiter comes and says "sorry we forgot to inform you but we ran out of cod". This used to be a decent place for many years when it was Gasworks pub, the place was always buzzing but on Friday night when we were there it was a different story.

11/09/2026: Top notch staff, well coordinated, attentive. Great food. Very large selection of drinks. Three seating areas - inside (tables, bar), semi-open glass area , and outside.

13/09/2026: Always lovely experience with lovely staff

12/09/2026: Staff is friendly, fast and do everything with care.

06/09/2026: Lovely place, excellent coffee and Chai latte, perfect scone, tasty and soft blueberry muffin. Best breakfast in town - in our humble opinion ☺️

17/08/2026: Great service with nice barista! The chai latte was great and so as the sausage roll which was warmed up. The place also had charging sockets for those that needed to get work done and a bathroom for customers, although it is kind of suspicious. The atmosphere was very intimate and because the space was not too big and you could hear what the people beside you were speaking about. One benefit of this café is that it closes late compared to other cafés. Overall, very good place that had decent prices.

15/09/2026: The cocktails are tasty, though not entirely to my taste. The service is a bit hectic and doesn't always respond promptly (e.g., when the water runs out, etc.). Nevertheless, the atmosphere is fascinating, and the bartender does a great job.

13/09/2026: Stellar craft cocktails served up in an intimate speakeasy setting.
