The best restaurants in Dublin

09/09/2026: Great service and outstanding food. Good value as well. Highly highly recommended

07/09/2026: Lovely food, service a little slow I guess due to them being so busy. Highly recommended.

26/08/2026: We keep coming back to Bang since it reopened, and for good reason! The food is consistently exceptional, and the atmosphere is always vibrant. Special mention to Carmel, who is such a fantastic, attentive host. Looking forward to our reservation this weekend—a must-visit restaurant in Dublin.

20/08/2026: Virginia was really friendly & helpful. Food was fab!

13/08/2026: Had an amazing experience at La Caverna! Great food and our servers Dima and Billy were terrific

13/08/2026: I had one of the best vegan meals that I have ever had before! It was a great experience, as my boyfriend is not vegan, it’s usually hard for us to find good restaurant options that suit us both. So we really enjoyed our dinner and had an amazing time. Patrick and Kris gave us a great service, very professional and friendly!

01/09/2026: We stopped into Hugo’s last weekend on a whim for a glass of wine before dinner somewhere else, and pretty much as soon as we walked in, we wished we’d booked dinner here instead. The place has such a warm, cozy feel to it, with wine bottles lining the back wall, and after looking at the menu, we immediately regretted already having dinner plans. But what really made the place was the people. A special shoutout to Imogen, who was fantastic. I’m very much an Italian red wine drinker, especially Amarone, and she took the time to steer me toward a few French reds I probably never would have ordered on my own. She even let me taste them before committing to a glass, which I really appreciated. We only came in for a drink, but Hugo’s ended up being one of those unexpected finds you remember from a trip. Next time I’m in Dublin, it’s absolutely on my dinner list.

31/08/2026: Absolutely delighted by my experience here. From walking up you could see the outdoor seating and the views into the window tables. You enter and it feels like going back in time to someone’s home with a wine wall in front of you and gorgeous, textured wallpaper, plush cushion and both booth and chair and high top table options. The staff (Luke and Imogen) were welcoming and friendly. The menu was full of Delicious items. Since I was at Hugo’s I opted for a Hugo Spritz which I paired with their signature oysters to start, the soup of the day a cream corn chowder with Irish bread on the side and finished with a light pannacotta for dessert. I had a late lunch so not a huge appetite or I would have gone for even more. Great as a solo diner or a group. They had seating in the upper and lower dining areas. Plus the outdoors. Highly recommend and would return.

27/08/2026: Yummy, yummy! Absolutely delicious, and such a lovely, wonderfully cosy little place. I felt as though I'd known the owner and the staff for at least a decade. You absolutely have to try their full breakfast rolls.

25/08/2026: Simply the best breakfast roll in the city centre

03/09/2026: A very nice little restaurant. Friendly service and very good food. The many good reviews are absolutely justified.

28/08/2026: Fantastic dinner, from start to finish.

05/09/2026: I’m a Japanese student currently studying abroad in Ireland, and I came across this restaurant while looking for somewhere to eat. I’m really glad I decided to come in. This place is wonderful. First of all, the Italian owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. The service was excellent, and I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. In fact, I felt very comfortable throughout my visit. As for the food, I ordered the carbonara, and it was absolutely delicious. Honestly, without exaggerating or trying to be polite, it was the best spaghetti I have ever had in my life. The portion was also very generous, so I think students with a big appetite would be more than satisfied. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Italian food in Dublin. I’m very happy that I found this place!

05/09/2026: Owner chef server.. singlean operation. Excellent food, somewhat limitedenu but if they have what you want then who needs a 50 page menu?

13/08/2026: A really special but really cozy spot, tucked half below street level so you watch the legs of passersby drift past the windows while you eat. Classic Italian cooking done really well, the food was great, and the service and atmosphere matched it

05/08/2026: Great atmosphere and food, friendly attentive owner

23/09/2026: Excellent restaurant and they have kept up the great quality over the years, that’s very impressive. Great food and staff. Highly recommended.

27/08/2026: Had a wonderful meal in Daniel’s restaurant, he meets and greets you and goes through the menu and suggests what to have to accompany your meal, I ordered the half lobster it was beautiful and my companion had the rack of lamb which fell off the bone. All his sauces are made from scratch and you can see he puts so much passion pride into his restaurant. The dessert menu was even better and we couldn’t decide what to have but decided on the deep fried ice cream with butter scotch sauce and it was absolutely delicious. This restaurant doesn’t need the fancy lights, decor or fancy foams the food says it all.

27/08/2026: Great tracks and fresh table salsa

27/08/2026: Great food, jonh was a great server. Birra tacos were delish

22/09/2026: So friendly and accommodating, a fabulous spot to go to whether you’re looking for a matcha, Acai or a hearty breakfast!

19/09/2026: The food is amazing!!! Can really recommend it! I ate the protein pancakes and they were excellent! But servers (not all of them) might wanna consider acknowledging/speaking to all guests, not only men. Otherwise well, no tip.

08/08/2026: Simply the best, Ham & Cheese sandwich Beer Service Ambience History Culture I could go on and on. Don't change. Brilliant.

06/08/2026: Visited grogans castle lounge today, ordered a pink gin tonic and a Guinness. Bill came to 18.90. We ordered another round and was charged 21.90 so I questioned it and was told it was correct. I queried it and they gave me a copy of the receipt to which I saw they charged me a bottle of sol instead of a bottle of tonic. They then gave me 2.90 in change short changing me 90cent. I live and I am from Dublin, I will not be returning! ***TOURIST BEWARE***ASK FOR A RECIEPT

05/08/2026: I eat here approximately once a week and I was never disappointed. Food is amazing (meals and my favorites are sushi). Big mentions for the specials sushi they are amazing. The staff is always very kind and the food is made vary quickly so very practical. The restaurant area is actually beautiful so I recommend to eat in !! I will come back as usual cause I love this place. Totally worth the price!

27/07/2026: Bento Box was amazing , tasted delicious

31/08/2026: You get an authentic irish breakfast. It came fast and was very delicious. The prices were very fair and the service kind. Next time I'm in Dublin, I'll come back.

29/08/2026: For me, it's the best Irish breakfast I've ever had; the quality of the products, the friendliness of the staff, and how comfortable you feel are rare.

05/09/2026: I really enjoyed my barista course! I learned about many different types of coffee, and Bartira was a great teacher. She explained everything clearly and was very kind and attentive. Highly recommend! ☕️

05/09/2026: Great teacher! She’s very kind, attentive, and explains things really well.
