The best restaurants in Dublin

29/09/2025: Not too bad, true speakeasy vibes with secret password and entrance. Creepy back alley that leads you upstairs to a comfortable venue above. Downstairs is the restaurant and the more pub-like sister “speakeasy” (which is not hidden by any means and much louder). Red Elixir 3.5/5 Petite Dejuener 4/5 (better if warmed)

11/09/2025: “A mysterious little speakeasy, distinguished by its intricate and enigmatic entry system and whimsical décor. With exceptional drinks and remarkable music, it is an experience worthy of your research.”

31/10/2025: It was so great. We had the set menu with the striploin as the main course. Every dish was fantastic. The service was also very attentive and friendly from the moment we entered until we left the restaurant.

21/09/2025: Amazing place. Super vibe. Absolutely delicious food. Friendly staff. Highly recommended. We had the chef’s menu and did not disappoint. It’s also loads of food for two people, no need to add anything else! The only thing I didn’t love was the salad, but everything else was a 10 out of 10.

02/11/2025: We enjoyed eating here a lot! Lots of veggies, different proteins, seasonings, sauces and toppings: you get to chose yourself what you want on your plate and then hand it to the griller who will prepare to food for you. Great variety for vegetarians as well (they even asked me if I wanted my food prepared on a different part of the grill than the meat/seafood options). We both had a lunch bowl (which comes with a bowl of steamed rice) and we're quite full after the meal. Definitely recommend!

22/10/2025: A warm welcome and a generous selection from the buffet, including meat, fish, and vegetables for the wok. Quickly prepared by a friendly chef. In short, a great place for a delicious "all you can eat" meal. Tip: Arrive before 7:00 PM for an early bird discount!

02/11/2025: Very cozy restaurant! Nice, happy and helpful staff. The food was very tasty and well prepared!

17/10/2025: Favorite meal of the trip. Excellent food and fantastic service. Dessert was phenomenal with the homemade maple vanilla ice cream and the pecan pie was the best I’ve ever had!! Servers also gave a great variety of recommendations for other establishments in the area and for things to do in Dublin.

31/10/2025: My family and I celebrated my graduation yesterday and for us it had to be here. We always find the food and ambiance a step above others. Tamas made the experience even more fantastic with his attentive service and insightful support on food choices. Great night thank you and see you soon Peter (PhD) and family PS The pork chop is fantastic!!

30/10/2025: Had a lovely dinner here tonight! Balazs provided a really attentive and polite service!

15/10/2025: Phenomenal place to end a river trip, food from Goats Gruff and pints from Strawberry Hall. Rumour has it that This is where the best pint of Guinness can be found. Frequented by a congregation of Great Paddlers

15/09/2025: Brilliant pub, always excellent. Pizza is a new addition and really nice.

16/10/2025: Really delicious meal, very good thank you

15/09/2025: As always, excellent food, excellent service and a great atmosphere. Taza is a top class restaurant and we are looking forward to our next visit

16/09/2025: I came here on the recommendation of a friends and this place did not disappoint. I had the pork dumplings which came out steaming hot and fresh! But then I had the pork char siu and the meat was so tender and exceptional well spiced. Also, the decor of this place is AMAZING, truth be told I just wanted to sit after seeing pics online, but it has such an incredible vibe. Service was quick and everyone here from the host to the servers were incredible. Will be back when the wind takes me this way again!

14/09/2025: Food was lovely and not overpriced, staff is very friendly. (Do not eat the black peppers in the Kung Po chicken if you can’t handle heat 🥵)

18/10/2025: Very friendly staff. The food was delicious.

13/10/2025: The manager was really very aggressive… Really

19/10/2025: We were served undercooked rice in our risotto. Although risotto is Al Dente this rice was so undercooked we were picking crunchy bits from our teeth. The rest of our food was fine however the biggest complaint of the night is, that after we Informed then undercooked rice and the "tried to fix it" it came back undercooked again. After we didnt eat it considering the obvious health risks associated with raw rice they refused to take the price of the risotto off the bill. The staff/manager were actually really nice and understanding of our situation but obviously seemed under some sort of pressure from the owner, who they called to see if it was possible to remove the risotto from the bill which they refused. They then tried to tell me because nobody else complained about the risotto that night then our complaint was invalid(no longer nice and understanding) and because the chef/owner is from Italy ge knows what hes doing. Then when an obviously intoxicated woman on another table began shouting at us that we had clearly never eaten risotto or been to Italy(which added to the insanity of the situation) the management refused to address the fact we were now being charged for an undercooked meal and being berated by a drunk. Final point. Considering it probably cost the restaurant less than 2 euro to make a single plate of risotto, the owner is clearly a cheap cowboy who has no consideration for customers and zero accountability for the short comings of his restaurant.

15/10/2025: Worth recommending to everyone, the 2-course set is good value for money and unimaginable in Dublin

13/10/2025: This was everything you want from a restaurant, the service was above and beyond, the food arrived fast, everything was very clean and everything was absolutely delicious. Totally recommended

10/09/2025: I love going here for lunch. The daily bento box or poke bowl are always delicious and well portioned. Great food and atmosphere.

04/11/2025: Came here a few times already ever since I was Young. I came here with my friend for who is his first time and it was packed. The food was still delicious as always and so CHEAP TOO. The drinks are so nice and refreshing I just didn’t like the fact that it’s so small and so packed. Overall experience, we’ll be back. Continue what you guys are doing 👏 Don’t forget it’s CASH ONLY!!!!

04/11/2025: Fantastic food! Great authentic soup and Bhan mi. Highly recommended!

12/10/2025: Great atmosphere, food was fabulous. Price was so good really worth every penny. €150 for 3 people in total included 3 x starters to share, 3 x mains with 2 different meats, veg and rice. Staff where friendly, funny and so entertaining. Great for a girls night out and or a night with the family.

23/09/2025: Everything was top-notch quality. Taste, preparation, service & staff … love to go back :)

02/11/2025: Excellent food, friendly staff. Will come again.

02/11/2025: GREAT pizza in the correct style (IMHO): thin crust baked fast. Excellent! Friendly crew, speedy service, fair prices! And they have a range of white pizzas that are very creative. Don't miss!
