The best restaurants in Dublin

03/11/2026: Had a great experience at O'Neill's! It's a self-service bar, which is a fun and convenient concept. Easy to grab your own drinks without having to wait around for service. The atmosphere was enjoyable, and it was a great spot to stop in, relax, and enjoy a few drinks. Definitely a unique experience and worth checking out if you're in the area!

03/11/2026: A large, multi-story, and labyrinthine pub. The food was decent and reasonably priced for Dublin. The atmosphere was very pleasant.

07/11/2026: Staff at checkout were so rude I left without buying anything. Really unexpected for an M&S.

07/11/2026: Cameron in the Edinburgh store (opposite the ferris wheel) was amazingly patient with me, and helped me find what I needed.

11/09/2026: Quality has unfortunately dropped.

30/07/2026: My friend and I are making our way through The - Dublin Coffee Guide cafes. Generally we have found these to be excellent and the owners and staff to be knowledgeable, friendly and proud of the service they provide. This was no exception and the coffee was excellent. Seating is limited but we were able to get sitting on one of the two outside benches. Plastic tubs are available as supplementary seating if required. As the name implies, they was also a fine selection of quality grocery products.

07/10/2026: Nicests staff! Great food, handy location, 100% recommend

01/10/2026: I`m a regular in this cafe because the food is always top quality and very reasonably priced. It`s great value and always a great service from the ladies. Nice to sit in too! Recommended.

09/10/2026: ⭐ Excellent Food, Terrible Service and Seriously Misleading Charges The food at Dada was excellent, which makes the extremely disappointing service and questionable billing practices all the more frustrating. Unfortunately, we left feeling misled, rushed and overcharged by over €40. We will not be returning. Our waiter, Orwin, seemed friendly at first, but as the evening progressed, we felt increasingly pressured into unnecessary extras and misled about what we would actually be charged. We had already ordered our meals, yet he continued pushing us to order more. As we were bringing our own drinks, he then suggested that ordering an additional starter costing €15 would cover the situation. We understood this to mean we would not be charged corkage if we ordered the extra starter. However, we were charged corkage anyway, separately for each drink. Had this been explained honestly, we would never have ordered the additional starter, which was practically the size and price of a full meal. We would simply have paid the corkage. Instead, we spent extra money based on what we were led to believe, only to be charged for both. The birthday experience was equally disappointing. We were told that a birthday cake would be complimentary, and it was even indicated as complimentary on the bill, yet the cake was never brought to our table. Then came the water charges. We specifically asked for tap water, staff repeatedly brought extra bottles, without informing us that there would be a charge. We did not drink five bottles, yet we were charged for five. Two full glass bottles were still sitting on the table, and we were charged for those too anyway. In Ireland, tap water is provided free of charge in restaurants, and if bottled water is being supplied and charged for instead, customers are told clearly. Their treatment was very cheeky and misleading overall. On top of all this, there was an additional 12.50÷ charge for a “large group”, despite us being a small group. This felt completely unreasonable and was another unexpected charge that had not been clearly explained and wrongly charged. Between the extra starter, extra corkage, tap water charges and additional wrongly added "large" group charge, we were lied to, ripped off and overcharged over €40 unnecessarily. We trusted the staff and did not scrutinise every line of the bill at the time. Unfortunately, we only realised the extent of the problem when we checked the detailed bill afterwards. We were rushed at the end, with Orwin standing over us waiting for payment, which made us feel uncomfortable and pressured to pay and leave rather than question everything on the spot. The service throughout the meal was also disappointing. Three different staff (2 males + 1 female) members repeatedly asked whether we had finished eating while we still had a table full of food. We were eating mezze-style and trying to enjoy our meal, but the constant interruptions made us feel as though we were being hurried out. Staff even appeared ready to take food away while we were still eating. It was not particularly busy, and there were other empty tables, so there was no obvious reason to rush us like this. The biggest disappointment was not the price itself, but the lack of transparency and the feeling that we were being deliberately upsold and charged for things we had not agreed to. Customers should not have to scrutinise every interaction and every line of a bill to feel confident they are being treated honestly. It is a real shame because the food genuinely was very good. However, excellent food cannot compensate for service that leaves customers feeling deceived, pressured and taken advantage of. Dada needs to look seriously at its customer service, billing transparency and staff practices. Be upfront about charges, respect customers' choices, and allow people to enjoy their meals without constantly pressuring them to order more or leave. You owe us €40! Sadly, what should have been an enjoyable birthday meal turned into a very disappointing experience. We will not be back.

07/10/2026: Amazing people, very attentive to their clients’ needs, going above and beyond to serve them

18/10/2026: We ate delicious traditional dishes here

17/10/2026: We stopped on the way back to our hotel from the Temple area. Happily we.were sat right away. Hubby ordered the lasagna dinner and I had the Cajun chicken burger. Both dishes were yummy.

17/08/2026: We went for a roast and it did not disappoint. Every part of the meal was suburb. The staff were helpful and friendly.

06/08/2026: The best wings and the best Friday nights.

20/02/2026: WORST MEAL I HAVE EVER HAD IN A 'RESTAURANT' !!!!!Terrible dried out overcooked pizza and lasagne was similar! Small portions too !White wine was acid! Overall poor. 50e for two, definitely not!!!!!Avoid, never going back! 0 out of 5!

07/02/2026: excellent service great food ,warm environment will be back again for sure

28/03/2026: You had to try the lahmacun here. Sadly they've closed in March 2026.

02/03/2026: I was seated and then left waiting for 20 minutes before anyone bothered to take my order. When the waitress finally came, she rushed through it and didn’t even ask about drinks. The starter arrived after 15 minutes, and the main course showed up 40 minutes later. The service was a disaster from start to finish — inattentive, rushed, and unprofessional. I eventually got up and left. Definitely not coming back.

06/10/2026: Such a beautiful spot for an evening drink. We loved the atmosphere and the wine selection, very elegant without feeling too formal. A lovely place to sit, relax and enjoy a good glass of wine.

04/10/2026: Went there with a group of friends. We were 8 and had a table that would fit 6, so it was a bit crowded for us. Food was ok, I've had much better and tastier dishes, but this is again subjective. Food presentation and display was excellent. The mood is romantic, probably not the best for a party of 8, more for a romantic dinner. You can see the decor in my video, this might be what you are looking for, for your next outing!

10/08/2025: An unpretentious vegan Lebanese restaurant with a casual, fast-food-style atmosphere, but excellent food. I'm a huge fan of baba ganoush, and I have to say the one I've ever had in a restaurant is the best, and that alone is worth five stars. The other dishes I ordered were also excellent, and the staff was young and friendly. They don't serve alcohol.

07/08/2025: Great vegan options. The falafel sandwiches are amazing and taste superb, some of the best I've had,unfortunately the bread wasn't quite as good. Would still wholeheartedly recommend this place for any vegan.

22/10/2026: Extremely rude and unprofessional staff – left waiting then lied about closing time We arrived at this KFC 20 minutes before closing. We pulled up to the drive-thru order speaker and no one answered. We waited there for a full 10 minutes with no response we assumed they were busy. Eventually we drove up to the next window thinking the speaker might be broken. We could clearly see the staff inside laughing and trying to hide. When we asked if we could place our order there, the woman at the window was snickering and told us they were closed. This was still 10 minutes before their actual closing time. They had left us sitting at the speaker for 10 minutes knowing full well we were there, then lied and claimed they were already closed. Completely unacceptable behaviour. Rude, unprofessional, and deliberately misleading customers. We will not be returning and will be taking our business elsewhere. Management needs to address this kind of staff attitude urgently.

27/09/2026: the food was very tasty,the staff was friendly and the store environment was pleasant

11/10/2026: Food is almost like fastfood not a restaurant quality. Will not go back again.

05/09/2026: We ordered a takeaway, Amazing as always, so fresh!

17/08/2026: the lads love this place, fantastic breakfast

11/06/2026: You get exactly what you ask for every time without having to listen to any upselling like in the chains 👍 A++

06/07/2026: Excellent pizza. They knead it fresh for you. Very friendly service. Good prices.

06/07/2026: We buy a pepperoni pizza, and, as an italian, is very gooood! We wait less than 5 minutes for the pizza, the atmosphere is excellent, good music good tables. Consigliata a tutti, davvero un ottimo lavoro, bravi!
