The best restaurants in Dublin

07/06/2025: Lovely coffee and staff are always friendly

13/05/2025: First time to get coffee from here. Coffee was excellent, full of flavour and not too strong. Service was very slow, waiting ages for order

17/12/2025: Really enjoyed the food and service was very quick

03/12/2025: They should call it a cabbage kebab instead of lamb. 90% of the thing is cabbage that you have to scrape away. Absolutely rank. Stomach was in bits after eating there. This is literally the definition of how to screw up something as simple as a kebab. Place feels dirty. It has the vibe that everything is going to be sticky. If you love cabbage and stomach pain this place is amazing!!

30/01/2026: I've been several times and it never disappoints. Good portions, and friendly staff.

30/01/2026: I’ve ordered delivery from Musashi Sandyford a good few times, and today I decided to eat in. As usual, the food was great, and I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent service and lovely staff. I’ll definitely be back.

23/06/2025: I ordered the vegan babe and hazelnut latte. Friendly staff, aesthetic location and good food.

08/11/2025: Never been to Dalkey before. Great place. Make sure you try it.

29/09/2025: A friendly coffee shop with good light food options. A very popular spot in Dalkey, great outdoor seating.

13/12/2025: Ordered food online at 6:20pm and received a confirmation stating it would be ready in 20 minutes. Arrived to collect at 6:50pm and was left standing there for another 10 minutes with no update. After repeatedly asking about the order, I was finally asked “what was your name again?” and then told they couldn’t find the order and that it must have been missed. At that point it was nearly 50 minutes after ordering. No apology, no explanation, and no gesture of goodwill — just asked if I wanted to wait again while they cooked it from scratch. Very poor service and complete lack of customer care. Won’t be returning

13/12/2025: The hot latte was really good 🩷^_^ The curry was delicious and served piping hot. I would definitely go back. Very nice place 🩷

04/08/2025: Delicious ramens, relaxed and kind service. The decorations give a bit of a Japanese atmosphere. Excellent place, would recommend them from the bottom of my heart! Thank you very much! ♥️

27/07/2025: Sushi was good. However, Ramen did not taste nice, broth had no flavour, beef was not fresh. The waitress said she will tell the chef but no commercial gesture, nothing was done. Edit (Reply to owner): I did finish the broth as I hate wasting food and I was very hungry. However, please bear in mind the beef tasted almost rotten. No attempt was made by the staff to fix the issue. We will not be back. Your reply is unprofessional given the experience we had.

29/11/2025: I think this place is really cute! It has great tea selections I think I had this apple and peppermint last time and it was great. Desserts are good but I wouldn’t recommend the sandwiches so it’s better to go sweet! But the upstairs seating has such a chill vibe

11/10/2025: Select your favorite coffee and they grind it and make it for your choice. Deserts delicious 😋, I had the pistachio cheese cake . Staff welcoming and serving you with a smile 😃, keep going this way. Thank you.

22/01/2026: Food is amazing Service is good Staff is very good specially shift manager Danish

08/01/2026: Absolutely TERRIBLE experience. Said my order was delivered and it never arrived. Wasted money on this. Never order from this place

05/02/2026: Section booked for a going away party. Plenty of empty tables. Would not serve more than one drink to large group that work in a nearby hospital as we ‘weren’t rugby fans’ according to the bar staff that said this and were very rude and condensing towards a large group made up of mainly women.

17/01/2026: What a great pub... very nice and comfortable.

08/01/2026: Friendly,accommodating and helpful staff. Highly recommend this hotel

02/01/2026: Stopped in to grab lunch after a funeral and was very well looked after by the staff there. Good honest food and generous serves.

02/02/2026: We were 3 adults and 2 kids, our food was all lovely & service was good. It was very busy when we were there but we were served very quickly and everything was fine.

31/01/2026: Great little spot , food was fresh and staff very accommodating

12/01/2026: Good burgers and a nice place to watch football!

06/01/2026: I was at the game last Saturday and there was a lot of disorganization at the bars. The card machines had no internet connection, so it wasn’t possible to make payments, and the manager, a bald gentleman, was quite disrespectful to the customers. On top of that, the place was extremely warm, and it felt like the air conditioning wasn’t turned on.

15/09/2025: Wow! We attended a hen party over the weekend & absolutely everything was perfect. The boat, drinks, sound system & every single member of the crew were AMAZING. We had the best day party & start to the day Thank you

15/09/2025: We hosted a hen party here on Saturday for 21 ladies, and it could not have gone better! The team were incredibly accommodating – they allowed us to set up our own decorations and food, and were so helpful with everything from start to finish. We had corkage on some bottles of prosecco for a welcome drink, and the staff went above and beyond making sure everyone’s glasses were always topped up, even when we moved up to the top deck. As we essentially ran an open bar with drink tokens for guests, it was great to see how respectful and honest the staff were – they made everything so easy for us and didn’t take advantage in any way. Another lovely touch was being able to connect our phones via Bluetooth for music, which meant we could play our own playlist on deck and set the perfect atmosphere. The whole experience was honestly the highlight of the day, and all of our guests had an absolute ball. Thank you so much to everyone at the Dublin Canal Boat Restaurant for helping us create such a memorable start to our hen celebrations!
