The best restaurants in Dublin

16/09/2026: The manager with glasses is ridiculous. Rude to his staff and obnoxious to customers. Went in to buy a coffee and the till shut down (I’m assuming because of Wi-Fi); which meant nobody could pay. The guy ahead of me was told it’s okay and he got it for free and left. My drink had already been made and was sitting on the counter but he said then to stop serving anybody else. So I waited fifteen minutes standing there with the drink and he wouldn’t give it to me, mind you I asked can I pay for this? He ignored me. Obviously he didn’t want to give it to me for free (not my fault about the Wi-Fi) but we all know they just throw the drink away anyway so it was ridiculous. He’s often very blunt and condescending to the staff too.

08/09/2026: The coffee is delicious, the chocolate is amazing, and they even give you a free chocolate... I've had a hard time finding quality coffee in Dublin, even though it's expensive everywhere, but here you get quality coffee at a good price. It was recommended to us by the guide on a tour we took, and it was definitely a great find.

25/09/2026: The food is fresh a d tastes amazing. I had the lamp burger and it wasamazing

14/09/2026: Best for take away. Excellent quality & taste. They have both vegetarian & non vegetarian options.

09/09/2026: Very tasty! And well priced! We’ll come back :)

28/08/2026: Always great food and great service!

29/07/2026: We had afternoon tea there to celebrate my daughter moving abroad to study. The presentation of food, the service. Everything was wonderful. Would definitely recommend.

18/07/2026: For me, this is the no 1 thing to do in Dublin. 5 o’clock tea in perfection. Location, service, food, tea - even the restrooms: 10/10. Thanks Róisín for making this a memorable event!

25/09/2026: We ordered a chicken platter it was looking great but the flavour wasn't to my expectations.

20/09/2026: Authentic Pakistani food Umar was very fantastic....

09/08/2026: Arguably one of the finest places in the greater Dublin area, perfect for enjoying drinks with friends, sharing an intimate evening with a loved one, or reconnecting with family. The service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is both vibrant and inviting.

31/07/2026: I have lunched here on many, many occasions over the years and have always enjoyed it, which makes what happened a month ago all the more disappointing. During lunch, I was served a crab dish containing a small piece of rubber. I politely pointed it out to the waiter. We both agreed it was sensible to make the kitchen aware of it so they could ensure no other customer ordering the same dish would receive anything similar. A short time later, a French man ( who happens to be staff manager) who did not identify himself as the manager or a member of staff approached me in a confrontational and aggressive manner. He insisted the rubber had not come from the kitchen and had not been on the plate when it was served. I found this accusation both insulting and completely unacceptable. I was so taken aback that I immediately left the restaurant. As I was leaving, a local gentleman who happened to be passing by and had seen what occurred stopped to tell me that he and his wife had experienced a very similar confrontation with the same manager some months earlier. I later asked the waiter who had served us who this individual was, as I had never seen him before despite dining at 64 on numerous occasions over the years. He confirmed that the man was the current manager and apologised for what he had witnessed. It was an extremely disappointing experience and not one I would wish on any other customer. — Damien

25/09/2026: So fun and full of life, good food.

23/09/2026: I ordered a burger. Normally I'm used to being asked how I want it cooked. When it came out the fries were hotter than the burger which was disappointing. Staff if nice, but for $20 roughly for a burger and fries I would expect the food to be hot and not over cooked. Overall the place is alright, but what you get for the cost left me feeling a bit underwhelmed and I travel a lot, so a burger is often my go to for quick and easy when I'm trying to find something simple.

13/08/2026: Really nice dog friendly pub. The history is impressive and so was the food. We only tried the seafood linguini and they were delicious!

12/08/2026: Came in for a lite bite after a walk in the park. Super lovely place, food is great and service was excellent. Would recommend. Marta was excellent

11/07/2026: A very spacious local lounge with a lot of tvs. Very efficient bar staff , friendly, smiley and welcoming.

08/07/2026: Great spot friendly staff prices are ok.4 stars because no food although you are allowed to get a sandwich from the centra next door.

01/09/2026: Such an amazing vegetarian sandwich. So delicious, packed with filling and great price. Finally a vegetarian sandwich that isn’t boring. Cannot wait to go back. So amazing

30/08/2026: Superb sandwiches and coffee to go!

18/09/2026: This was one of the best pizza i have ever had in Ireland.

17/09/2026: Pretty decent stop if you’re in need of a quick bite. Kind of reminded me of Joe’s pizza in New York. You can get by the slice or whole pizzas though the slices are a good size. Not a whole lot of seating and it can get packed fast. Glad we had lunch here!

12/09/2026: We loved Chaplin’s, and Connor was the BEST!!! We asked him where we should get dinner and he wrote a whole itinerary for our Dublin vacation with recommendations for restaurants, pubs, and sights. What a pleasant surprise! Also, a very good Guinness pour.

01/06/2026: A quiet early evening with friends. We weren’t big spenders but the staff treated us like stars. So very courteous professional and helpful. I recommend the Toastie. Fresh crunchy Batch bread with good ham and cheese inside. The strong mustard sachet gave an added zing to a proper tasty meal.

17/08/2026: Every night you go here you'll be guaranteed a warm welcome and great service. Fantastic selection of whiskeys and craft beer. Love this place

11/08/2026: Nice local with some excellent craft beers. Friendly staff

24/09/2026: Amazing pub great atmosphere and the best food around

09/09/2026: Good atmosphere, dog friendly pub. Good selection of beers on tap. Very pricey beer for a suburban establishment, would expect these prices for a city centre pub
