The best restaurants in Dublin

16/09/2025: Bad service and very rude personnel! don't recommend at all.

08/09/2025: My first encounter with Ireland. Excellent atmosphere, breakfast and staff. They didn't make any problem with my request for a chair and an ashtray. The food was very good and reasonably priced.

01/11/2025: Very delicious food. Friendly people. Beautiful location. What more could you want?

22/10/2025: Don't be fooled into thinking you'll get a taste of Lebanese food here. Flavourless dishes served by charmless staff. The place was busy the night we were there....can't understand why.

16/09/2025: This is a lovely location; however, it feels so small and cottage-like that it’s hard to imagine choosing it as a place to stay for locals. There isn’t much to do. We didn’t stay overnight but visited the spa and explored the dining options instead. The estate itself is beautiful, with some charming touches and an interesting sense of history. The food was very good, artisan in style and tasting wonderfully fresh. The spa, on the other hand, was just okay. It lacked warmth and attention to detail, and it wasn’t particularly clean. Strangely, the spa felt more like visiting a shop than a place for pampering. It didn’t have the ambiance you’d expect from an upscale spa. No drinks were offered before or after the treatments either. Overall, there’s a big piece of hospitality missing here: client service. None of the staff around seemed to really care about anything.

13/09/2025: An Oasis of peace and tranquility set in the wonderful Co Kildare. Every member of staff from the young lady on reception to the lad who showed us to our accommodation were incredibly kind and are a credit to the Hotel. Our dinner at the Mill restaurant was exquisite and the young servers were attentive, genuinely ensuring we enjoyed our experience. Breakfast was equally amazing. We stayed at a cottage which was simply "wow". Our two night stay exceeded our expectations and we cannot wait to return.

13/10/2025: Sea bass was amazing food has got a lot better over the last few mths.

11/10/2025: Always a great buzz here, especially on a weekend or match day! The pub has a brilliant energy, with a good mix of locals and visitors. The live music sessions are top-notch. A solid choice for a fun night out with a great pint in hand.

01/08/2025: The best value dining in Dalkey. Really great food and friendly service. I've had take away and dined in multiple times and they're always good.

22/06/2025: It has been a while since we’ve eaten in Katmandu in Dalkey and after eating there recently I have to say it was absolutely lovely,the jhinga prawns,onion bhaji and masala including all the sides were delicious. The staff are so friendly and efficient. We can’t wait to return soon.

17/10/2025: Great chicken wings, amazing cauliflower wings - go just to try them! Shout-out to Todd (sorry if misspelled) - fantastic service! Only con being the DJ - he was a fine DJ, I just didn't think he fit the vibe nor did I think he was necessary. That said, will definitely be back!

11/10/2025: Came for some lunch with the family, atmosphere was nice and quiet and food was lovely top marks

16/10/2025: Great chilled out little cafe in Killiney Park in a lovely setting. All of the staff were really friendly and the cakes and pastries were to die for (best almond croissant and pain au raisin we’ve ever had) Also very dog friendly and you get meet loads of lovely dogs which was good as we love them and don’t have one of our own!!

15/10/2025: Lovely coffee. Fabulous brownies and protein balls. Interesting and broad selection of teas that I've yet to explore. Great layout where tired dog owners can relax and chat. A favourite switch off with nature. Food a bit pricey. Excellent service from very friendly staff.

12/10/2025: We went to this restaurant and placed our order, but after waiting 40 minutes, we had to ask about our food — only to be told they didn’t have what we had ordered. No one had bothered to inform us earlier. They said they would call the manager, but the manager never came to our table. In the end, I had to go over myself just to ask how much the drinks were, and they simply said, “Yeah, the order was cancelled.” I find it unacceptable for a restaurant to let customers — especially families with a child — wait that long, only to be told there’s no food available. The lack of communication and responsibility from the staff and management was shocking. Definitely not a place I’d recommend.

12/10/2025: Long wait for food and quite pricey.

10/10/2025: Great pub with great entertainment!

19/08/2025: Good Guinness and good atmosphere

30/09/2025: Fantastic food, tastes so fresh. Friendly service, in a quaint setting. Would most especially recommend the halloumi taco starter.

22/09/2025: We have been here with 4 people on Saturday to have diner we took the chargrilled sirloin steak and it was very very bad ,the meat was very tough with all 4 of us and when we told the staff it wasn't good, she just said ok 😳. So never again for us!!!!!

13/10/2025: We hadn't been in Delahunt for a few years until Saturday night. We were delighted to find the outstanding quality of food is still there as well as the warm welcoming atmosphere and knowledgeable and friendly staff. I would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing meal at a decent price. Thank you to all in Delahunt for your continued passion and excellence in providing top quality restaurant experiences in Dublin City Centre for us all to enjoy

13/10/2025: Really needed something special and Delahunt absolutely delivered. Lovely staff who were both attentive and personal. Food to die for. It's not priced at the average price of the street - but the quality of the food is twice as good. Can't wait to get back, thanks.

04/09/2025: Elite place, with great prices for Dublin. Jamie and Li do a wonderful job here, and the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. Warm hospitality, and a great selection of merchandise as well as their drinks. Will make it a priority the next time we visit. Thank you guys!

03/09/2025: What can I say if you're into folk and Irish traditional music this is the place located on clanbrassil street Dublin it's tops for music. And the atmosphere is great too friendly staff and great Guinness. You won't be disappointed ..👍👍👍👍👍

11/08/2025: Went for afternoon tea, the setting was beautiful and so relaxing with the piano being played in the background. The staff were all excellent and the coffee was delicious.

01/08/2025: The Art Afternoon tea was such a lovely experience - the food is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented in luxurious surroundings. The second serving of the deserts which are intricately designed to complement the hotel's beautiful art collection is a lovely addition. The service was excellent. Thoroughly recommended.

19/10/2025: Great Service and price. Vegetarian, vegan and glutenfree friendly. Would recommend if you are looking for an affordable lunch or breakfast menu.

04/10/2025: Great place for some good light lunch bites, friendly staff, fairly cheap, buzzing atmosphere, food was delicious and quite varied in the range of menu items. I'd definitely recommend a trip in here if you fancy a coffee and a chat or a light bite. I'll be returning.

17/10/2025: I used to staying with the owner Valerie when I did my Leaving Certificate a decade ago in Ireland. When I knew she's now owning a cafe, I came here to taste the food. I love the Chatty Fox Special, great taste of bacon on toast and latte. I love the chocolate brownie! 🤤 I'd recommend to my friends that whenever they visit Dublin, this is a place you must visit! Staff here and Valerie are doing an incredible job running the place. I will come back again next time here in Dublin. Matthew from Hong Kong, living in Derby, UK.

08/10/2025: Nice cafe full of locals, which is always a good sign. They do a good full Irish and the staff are friendly and helpful. It's a lot bigger than it looks, but any time I've been in there were enough people there to give the place a bit of a buzz and a good atmosphere.
