The best restaurants in Dublin

05/04/2026: Authentic Italian food! Pastas, risottos, delicious! Good portion sizes as well! I was too hungry - ate two mains! Atmosphere is calm/relaxed, with quiet Italian music playing in the background! It’s a place for people to connect and communicate! Highly recommend for people looking for authentic Italian food!

05/04/2026: ​I recently had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant, and it was easily the highlight of my trip to Dublin. ​From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel incredibly welcome. The owner, who is also the chef, is absolutely sensational! His passion for his craft is evident, and he is one of the kindest and most personable hosts I have ever met. It’s rare to find such a warm, authentic connection in a restaurant these days. ​As for the food, it was truly exceptional, honestly the best Italian meal I have ever had. Every dish was prepared to perfection, bursting with authentic flavors and high-quality ingredients. ​If you are in Dublin and looking for a dining experience that combines world-class food with genuine, friendly service, I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

23/05/2026: This was the best meal I had in Ireland. I have to give a thumbs up to the chef and the enthusiastic waiters. Everything was wonderful when I dined here!

23/05/2026: We were served by Virginia she was unbelievable.

15/08/2025: I have been coming back for the cheese tart, but I know most of my friends also love the cheese cake! Just superb!

15/08/2025: Been coming here since they open! To all Malaysian! Those cakes and tarts are so close to home!

05/05/2026: We booked for 6:30 pm and the restaurant was still quiet when we arrived. The service was very attentive and kind, the place is beautifully decorated, and the food came quickly. The portions are just right (neither too big nor too small) and the pappardelle venison was absolutely fabulous! I’d love to come back and try more of the menu.

05/05/2026: Delicious food (great ragù) and a nice and warm atmosphere. The service was very attentive and friendly!

05/05/2026: Meal was good, service less so.

05/05/2026: Excellent food. I had a full sea bass, boned at the table, with a delightful curry flavour for my main. My partner had the vegetarian platter which was also great, tho I preferred mine! And the prawn starter and panacotta dessert were both delicious. A bottle of house wine and the bill was €130 including tip. As cheap or cheaper than Daata and for me the food is definitely better. Will be back.

20/05/2026: Lovely dinner, really enjoyed the food. Daniel is very pasionate about the food and wines he serves. Absolutly loved the duck 😋

15/05/2026: Consistently grand food at Dan’s - we had fish and chips and half roast duck with cheesy and croquette potatoes with sauté onions accompanied by a lovely Chardonnay and a nice red from South Africa. Well worth visiting

09/05/2026: Very busy family owned restaurant serving delicious fare. Its a real gem.

02/05/2026: Short rib and risotto were phenomenal.

11/05/2026: Lovely spot for a date night dinner and a couple drinks, Rashid and Afrodita were our servers and they were lovely. Very attentive and helpful

11/05/2026: Food was phenomenal, got the Caesar salad, garlic bread and the burrata pasta dish. All of that was amazing. Gave the food 4 stars because we ordered a cheesecake to go and got back to our hotel and for 14 € it was the worst cheesecake I’ve ever had. Service was good except at the end we had to wait quite a while for our check. Overall would recommend this place to someone looking for a good “Italian” dish here in Dublin.

04/05/2026: Service was amazing. Food and coffee was so delicious 🤤. Come back for sure.❤️Thank you for such nice Experience. See you soon

04/05/2026: Good coffee ☺️ They're friendly 👍🏻

07/05/2026: Lovely atmosphere and amazing service but unfortunately the taste did not impress. Even though plates looked well the food did not blend well. Had a nice negroni and the Guinness bread was unique.

30/04/2026: staff were unbelievably lovely and made us feel very comfortable, food was divine - delicious little works of art! definitely did not go hungry but also didn't feel disgustingly full after. such a great combination of flavours all around and from the chef's table the kitchen staff actually looked like they were having a nice time which is a good sign for a restaurant.

06/01/2026: a lovely authentic Italian meal. very busy and great staff. Sat in outdoor heated area in December and they'd blankets too. highly recommend

18/12/2025: Just a superb restaurant staffed with fun Italian personnel

02/01/2026: Everything I've eaten is delicious and super fresh

24/12/2025: Friendly staff and value for money breakfast roll was 10/10

13/12/2025: Amazing breakfast and friendly welcoming staff. Coffee was impressive, toast was massive, sausages out of this world. Came on the strength of their google rating, it is well deserved!

08/12/2025: My first, but DEFINITELY not my last, time in this joyous oasis of calm in a very frisky part of Dublin. (Artwork, both hanging & sculpture, is so beautifully curated and personal, btw, that it is a big part of the experience). I had the full Irish breakfast made to my personal specifications with no fuss whatsoever (apart from my own). When I changed my mind about the pot of tea, it was removed from both my bill and from my table! (Now that's class! 😎). The orange juice (and indeed apple, I did notice) is high-end pre-bottled, and served to one's preferred temperatures. Staff were uniformly kind and warm, as WELL as attentive and genuine. The owner/proprietor is obviously a gentleman. As previously stated, I do indeed intend to be back for this "breakfast of kings" (which actually served as my own breakfast/my late lunch AND as my early dinner, so generous were the portions on what was a very busy day). Amazingly: MANY other types of foods/meals/snacks/sandwiches/cakes/etc. are also available here! 😲 N.B.: Tem atendiamento em português 🇧🇷 também! 😎 PS.: "NOTA DEEEEEEZZZzzzz" (na voz do Carlos Impérial)!

17/05/2026: Great food, Great service, would recommend.

16/05/2026: Lovely dinner! We started with the scallop ceviche and a goat cheese pear dish which were both delightful. Would recommend their fish! And ending with an almond cookie, so tasty. The early dinner is a great way to try more for less.

19/05/2026: The setting is beautiful, feels so warm. I got the duck for main which was delicious but the absolute star of the show was the crème brûlée which was just outstanding, felt like I was transported to Paris. Very friendly atmosphere too.

16/05/2026: I would gladly come back every day... it's so good!
