The best restaurants in Dublin

16/12/2025: Great establishment for fresh morning breakfast and afternoon lunch.

19/07/2025: Friendly, helpful staff and always good food. Recommended

12/11/2025: Right next to the prestigious Trinity University is this unassuming café. Filled with students, researchers, the professor from the nearby university, you get the idea. So over the course of a cappuccino you can learn about the latest in space research or mathematics. All in the worst Stephen Hawking spirit. I had a ristretto and one was. Panini with cheese & ham. Perfetto! The coffee was as perfect as it can be, I have only had a sandwich as good in one place, namely café Sosta in Stockholm! Ambient jazz tones blared from the speakers, the rain was falling outside…

10/11/2025: For Dublin, the prices are fair (€5.90 for a cappuccino and muffin)

09/02/2026: Always a comfortable experience, well managed, friendly helpful staff members. A lot of food choices with so many businesses available, also eason's newsagents.

25/01/2026: Great place 👌 👍. Ireland 🇮🇪 Best city in the world 🌎.

09/09/2025: I googled this location on the maps, just to eat and have a beer. The waitress told me that no food is served here, despite it's on the menu on Google Maps. She was also not friendly at all. So I just left.

06/09/2025: Nice atmosphere, very authentic. Delicious beer 😊

18/11/2025: The only thing the has the air a conditioner on and it is November. It is not nice to sit down to ha a nice coffee with the cold air on your head at this time if the year.

12/11/2025: Good place to have a cup of tea ☕

06/12/2025: A uniquely calm cafe set within a peaceful cultural space. The surroundings naturally encourage slowing down, and the seating supports longer visits without discomfort. It’s ideal for extended breaks where you want quiet, reflection and a relaxed pace away from the city’s rush.

20/11/2025: Very delicious food and fresh as well and the service was amazing very good staff

12/10/2025: No matter who you are or where your from, you will always be welcomed, by both staff and patrons, you would enjoy the friendly atmosphere, and the patrons are not shy, they love having the crack,( laugh), and will get up and sing and dance, You wouldn't be left sitting on your own, for their Irish nature would welcome you into their company, and the stories they could tell you about their lives, they would have you in stitches laughing, but they would respect it if you just wanted to sit by yourself to have a quiet drink, they wouldn't take offence, they would just have their Irish friendly nature The owner and bar staff are the same, friendly welcoming, and treat everyone the same, whether your a local or visitor, many years ago I was a landlady of a bar, and had lots of staff, although some where good, but nothing compared to the staff they're, everyone if them are professional, friendly, and courteous, this is why the patrons respect them all, and it believe because of the staff, the pub is still in the area, where there were lots of pubs on that street and this is the only one that still remains open, I've seen people coming in that where either holiday makers or new to the area, that would pop in, intended just to have one drink to see what it was like, and they would end up staying for the night, they had that much fun, because of the staff and patrons down to earth personalities A good idea to try ring to find out what night they have entertainment, as you will certainly enjoy the atmosphere

01/10/2025: Lovely warm welcome in a proper old Dublin pub

30/01/2026: We recently ordered food for collection from this place, and despite the name Spice of India, the food was the complete opposite of what you’d expect. While the prices are reasonable, the food had no real Indian flavour at all—just the colour of turmeric and an overwhelming sweetness. It honestly felt more like “Sweet of India.” There was no depth, no spice, no soul to the food. It seems heavily toned down and customised for people who think they’re tasting authentic Indian food, but aren’t. We cook far better Indian food at home using proper spices and flavours. Overall, a huge letdown and a waste of both time and money. There are many better places in town if you’re looking for genuine Indian cuisine.

04/01/2026: Had a good experience. Raj’s service was nice, and the food was really good.

20/05/2025: Terrible and inconsistent service. Was there yesterday may 19th Monday. Amazing service with a smile. Came in today, Tuesday 20th of May an it couldn’t be worse. Young lady just miserable.

14/05/2025: One of the best coffees I have ever tasted. Nice and friendly staff

24/12/2025: great stop for a coffee and cake

11/12/2025: Delicious ham&cheese sandwich 🥪 Fab coffee...quick and easy drive thru with quality products!

10/03/2026: Phone stolen here along with 3 other girls in the same hour. Be so careful with your bags and keep them in front of your body. A thief went into my bag whilst it was on my side and stole it. Lots of thieveslurking by the bar.

03/03/2026: Hophouse tasted like soap and hadn't been refilled 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 but the live music was nice 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

15/12/2025: The mocha was smooth and comforting, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming 💗 I really appreciated the warm service. Thank you for making my day!

29/11/2025: hidden gem of a place in the heart of Dublin, cosy seating, decent prices. their vegetarian focaccia was unreal 😍

11/12/2025: Enjoyed a superb evening away a real treat close to the city , we had an amazing room with incredible views, delicious food and quality service throughout , a hidden gem!

10/11/2025: From the moment of booking, EVERYTHING with our Haddington House experience was flawless. Ayesha and Sinead were fabulous with the pre-arrival plans. And going out of their way to make our stay really memorable. When we arrived, Flako, Elena and a lady manager (owner?) were so welcoming, professional, warm and generally - fabulous☺️ Our room was exceptional. With SO many lovely, lovely touches. The quality of the decor, fixtures and fittings is just next level. Not to even mention that view☺️ The food, and especially the breakfast, and the breakfast team, were of the absolute highest quality. Generally our stay in the Haddington House exceeded any possible expectations and delivered an exceptional experience. 10/5

16/03/2026: Beautiful restaurant,food is so fresh and tasty and is always a pleasure to come back. Service is super fast and the stuff-top class! We will be back for sure 👌

12/03/2026: Food: we tried their Tom Yum soup, chicken wings, potato fries and chicken and cashew curry. Everything was quite delicious service: service was a bit slow Atmosphere: the vibe of the restaurant is super charming. Even their menu is very creative

04/12/2025: Really unsure how to say this, but the cheese they are using in the Christmas special, when melted, has the unmistakeable odour of ***. It was overwhelming. I don’t remember this smell being present in last years Christmas sandwich. I suggest that the chefs smell the creation when it’s heated.

01/12/2025: This cafe is a little gem in the heart of Rathmines. I had a beautiful salad there today, it was delicious. I regularly stop off for a coffee when I'm in Rathmines. The staff are so warm, friendly and helpful. 10/10
