The best restaurants in Dublin

27/06/2025: Pleasant layout above the pub, so you can have a drink before or after your meal. Our party of five can heartily recommend the specials at 35 euros for three courses, the fish dishes in particular were excellent. Service was very good. Interestingly, there were no condiments on the table, perhaps it's a culinary statement but as the seasoning was good there was no issue. Reasonable wine list. Definitely worth a visit.

27/06/2025: Laurel in Blackrock is a fantastic restaurant tucked away above the pub—a real hidden gem. The food is absolutely amazing, beautifully presented on elegant plates that make the whole experience feel special. Every dish was full of flavor and clearly made with care. The atmosphere upstairs is stylish and relaxed, perfect for a nice evening out. The only downside is the music, which comes from the pub below and doesn’t quite match the refined setting of the restaurant. Still, the quality of the food more than makes up for it. Definitely worth a visit!

27/09/2025: This isn't my first time ordering here - it's a top sushi place, the sushi rolls are delicious, big portions compared to other restaurants, definitely recommend it.

20/09/2025: One of the best food delivery services in Dublin! Cityfood 4U is always my go-to when friends come over, and it never disappoints. Special thanks to Andrey, the operator, for his excellent service – highly recommend!

04/01/2026: Best place in town. This ist Dublin how it was.

10/12/2025: Best and cheapest fresh Irish breakfast I ever had. Best of luck to you ladies 😊

10/08/2025: An unpretentious vegan Lebanese restaurant with a casual, fast-food-style atmosphere, but excellent food. I'm a huge fan of baba ganoush, and I have to say the one I've ever had in a restaurant is the best, and that alone is worth five stars. The other dishes I ordered were also excellent, and the staff was young and friendly. They don't serve alcohol.

07/08/2025: Great vegan options. The falafel sandwiches are amazing and taste superb, some of the best I've had,unfortunately the bread wasn't quite as good. Would still wholeheartedly recommend this place for any vegan.

25/04/2026: Great location and side tables on the street great for a sunny day. The service is great and we enjoyed the coffee

16/04/2026: Very good food, service and value.

18/11/2025: For years, the canoe centre has been my go-to supplier for all things kayaking, providing the essential gear for both my personal adventures and for the youth organisation I work for. I've bought everything from "tip to toe," and the level of service has never wavered. ​The staff are phenomenal first dealing with Shane & Ciaran to the last couple of years with Hugh they have consistently offered knowledgeable and supportive assistance. The online shop is very user-friendly, stocking strong, quality brands that focus on depth of quality. ​A recent experience highlights their exceptional commitment: When a package went missing after posting, the team at the canoe centre put my needs foremost and promptly dispatched a second package before the original was relocated by An Post. This kind of proactive, customer-first service is why I continue to go back. ​No matter the size of the purchase, I always feel valued and acknowledged. An absolutely stellar sales and support service. Highly recommended.

04/11/2025: Fantastic Level 2 Kayaking Course with Keith! Keith was amazing — patient, knowledgeable, and knew exactly when to push us (and when not to!). We (Carmel and Sarah) were the two oldest in the group, with one of us new to kayaking, but he made it fun, supportive, and full of laughs. The group was an added bonus — we’re now all on WhatsApp calling ourselves The Liffey Lickers! Can’t wait for our next river trip with Keith to build on everything we learned.

28/10/2025: Well we often get fish there and it’s very fresh and the staff are very knowledgeable. Excellent bread and other deli items too. Also they have a little coffee corner and their coffee is delightful, you could try their Almond croissants – they are divine. They have a couple of tiny tables outdoors so you can enjoy sitting out there on a sunny day !

27/09/2025: Great oysters! Bud Spencer fan!

25/04/2026: An absolute gem. We all loved what we ordered. The okonomiyaki was fantastic and the portions were filling.

15/04/2026: The most lovely people and delicious food. Okayu is the best.

30/10/2025: Very delicious food, delicious coffee! The atmosphere is also good! We had one problem all three times we ate here; one of the dishes or drinks was always missing from our order! Always ask for the block and check your order!

17/10/2025: Very comfortable atmosphere and best Pastel the nata i ever had😋

18/05/2026: The hotel is well-located, and Dublin city center is easily accessible by bus. The bus runs very frequently. The service staff is very friendly and helpful. The food in the bar was good and plentiful. The hotel is a bit older, which is noticeable in many places, but the rooms and beds were very clean. A good hotel for a trip to Dublin.

30/04/2026: Corned Beef was top notch today 30th April. Just a super nice dinner.

16/05/2026: One of my favourite pubs to go to food is always tops staff r lovely n its local so all in all 👌

15/05/2026: Great food , always busy, great coffee and the staff are so so lovely! The only thing I will say is they could do with more vegetarian options!

23/03/2026: Fantastic local pub with great people. Thank you Liam for your kindness I look forward to seeing you guys again. Rob from NY

05/01/2026: Local pub shirt walk from stadium

22/12/2025: We get all of our Birthday Cakes from this bakery, they're always absolutely delicious. They always ask which way you want the cake, with a few different options of toppings, cream etc... Very friendly staff and the cakes are always very reasonably priced. I wouldn't go anywhere else for our Birthday Cakes.

21/09/2025: Lovely lady, delicious scones and soda bread

19/10/2025: Today I was here by accident because I wanted to eat something but I'm really shocked. I ate well and it was tasty and healthy. I love Polish and Hungarian cuisine The Lady working there was very nice, very kind, we had a great conversation, I really recommend going there, you will be greeted with a smile and a kind word, I recommend it

22/06/2025: Very nice service, real Hungarian lángos. It was a very good experience.

24/05/2026: Awesome boozer! Very friendly staff and customers. Great pint of Guinness too!

21/05/2026: The Hairy Lemon is a characterful Dublin pub with a wonderfully traditional and slightly eccentric atmosphere. From the colourful historic façade to the richly decorated interior, every corner feels full of stories, humour and local identity. The walls, old signs, flags, vintage objects and banknotes create a very distinctive setting that feels both lively and authentic. I had a hearty stew served with mashed potato and brown bread, together with Guinness 0.0, and it matched the atmosphere perfectly — simple, warm and satisfying. It is the kind of place where visitors can feel the spirit of old Dublin while enjoying a relaxed pub experience. A memorable stop for anyone who appreciates traditional interiors, good pub food and places with real character.
