The best restaurants in Dublin

20/09/2025: Lovely cafe hidden away very close to Corkagh park. Brilliant breakfast.

03/08/2025: Really great place. Attentive staff and food was served quickly. Poached eggs were perfect. Lovely coffee too

08/01/2026: I recently photographed a gorgeous wedding at The Stephen’s Green Club and I couldn’t have loved the experience more. The venue is elegant and full of character, right in the heart of the city, with beautiful rooms that photograph so well throughout the day. The staff are truly exceptional. I absolutely LOVE working with them. They were welcoming, attentive, calm and incredibly well organised, making the whole day feel effortless. Their care for the couple and for everyone involved really stood out and created such a relaxed, happy atmosphere. I would happily recommend The Stephen’s Green Club to couples looking for a classic Dublin venue with warmth and personality, and to fellow suppliers who value working with a brilliant team. An absolute joy from start to finish.

20/12/2025: Nice historic hints but a touch of class with modernity mixed in. Location gives most of the stars.

13/09/2025: I had a few drinks with local lads here. felt welcome and would recommend

18/08/2025: Amazing!!! We were here three evenings ensuite. And the best was the singer today (name??) Thanx for the Guinness. Espacially the two ladies behind the bar!! Incredible!! How fast they work and at the same time so relaxed, even singing and dancing during pressing the beer. Sorry for my horrible english- greetings from Ilka and Peter from Berlin/Germany

03/11/2025: Great coffee , will be back again 🥰

25/09/2025: Brilliant cafe lovely food the staff are very good

03/02/2026: Went to a Christian Meditation group on a Monday evening at 7.30 . Different forms of meditation each week. Coordinated by either Fr Frank Okeefe or Pat Talbot. Believe there is also a Buddhist group..

06/12/2025: It's a nice place for cakes bread and coffee

27/11/2025: I've been getting my coffee and the odd treat off Jane in The Artisan since she opened years ago. I can't fault the place from it's cleanliness, friendliness, huge selection of tray bakes, sausage rolls and breads and of course the lovely coffee.

13/10/2025: Very pleasant atmosphere with great coffee and pastries as well!

02/10/2025: Coffee can be hit or miss but in recent times the service is so slow even during quiet periods kinda frustrating

13/01/2026: This is a fabulous restaurant located adjacent to the East Pier in Dun Laoghaire. The decor is beautiful and the restaurant boasts exceptionally warm staff and in my ten plus visits to this restaurant I’ve never had a bad meal! The meatball starter is a myriad of flavours and I can attest to both the pasta and pizza dishes as sumptuous! Also the pricing is very fair in comparison to other South Dublin restaurants! Cannot wait to return!!

04/01/2026: The food is excellent. Highly recommended

02/01/2026: DJ’d here for a private function. Beautiful hotel. Load-in not too easy. Bringing trolley with equipment through hotel reception isn’t ideal. Staff helpful and friendly. Event space is outdoors under a canopy, can get cold and heaters can get hot beaming down on you. Overall though, I would recommend this hotel for any event. Need a DJ for this venue?

22/12/2025: Unfortunately can't recommend this hotel. - The hotel room was probably the loudest I've ever stayed in. The bedroom looked directly out onto the hotel's bin store. We kept being woken up by hundreds of glass bottles being poured into the bins. The hotel is also right beside Searson's (famous Irish pub), so you can hear every conversation customers are having outside in the smoking area. We said this to the hotel staff on check-out and they just shrugged and said "oh, yeah, Christmas". - The hotel has zero facilities. No spa, no massages, no swimming pool, no sauna, no steam, nothing. It's really quite hard to believe this is actually a "5 star" hotel. - I emailed the front desk numerous times over a 48 hour period asking for a late checkout. The hotel took over 24 hours to respond, and never actually gave me a proper answer. At check-in, I asked again. They said they would have to check, and I should come down again in a few hours. I said, please, I've been emailing you about this for 2 days, can you just figure it out and email me? Thankfully they said they would. No email ever came. Eventually I had to call reception again on the morning of our check-out to request late checkout again. I found it ridiculous I'd need to try 3 different forms of communication over a >48 hour period just to request a late check-out. - Very uncomfortable pillows. There are only 2 options, and neither are any good. I had a terrible night's sleep (between the pillows the noise). The location is great, but I've had far nicer stays in mediocre 4 star hotels.

12/12/2025: Booking canceled on day of booking following confirmation via phone 2 days prior, avoid at all costs.

02/12/2025: Consistently good service and food.

21/01/2026: Amazing service highly recommend

20/01/2026: I ordered for collection, food was 10/10! The service from Kenny and Nikita was delightful

20/12/2025: It’s the best pizza in Dublin hands down. No hype, just quality.

13/12/2025: The place is a super cozy and fun little cabin. We went for dinner in the middle of December and it was wonderful; it wasn't cold at all, there were heaters and blankets. The service was super fast and the pizzas were delicious. We highly recommend it!!

17/01/2026: Really good choice on the menu for all tastes. Good recommendations from the serving staff. The food was amazing. Between us we had a calamari starter, gnocchi, tiramisu and profiteroles for dessert.

31/12/2025: Popped by for a quick breakfast bc I was staying around the corner, and I’m so glad I did! Had an excellent coconut milk cappuccino and pastries. The service was friendly and attentive, and the croissants were delish.

14/10/2025: Honestly the Nicest cup of Coffee on the Southside I drive from Terenure at least twice a week made to perfection a perfect mix of smoothness and Blend Very enjoyable looking out over the village top

12/10/2025: Basic coffee shop all over good
