The best restaurants in Dublin

02/12/2025: It could be better in every way, starting with hygiene!

01/12/2025: Fine, missing some person and wasn’t happy without him to stay longer

20/03/2026: Dropped in for a drink in a Friday afternoon, very friendly, great service. Dog friendly in the bar when we visited! Food menu looks nice also.

18/03/2026: Following a 15 minute wait for a waiter or waitress to even look at us, the waitress serving us made us feel incredibly uncomfortable. She was aggressive and rude when we pointed out a mistake she had made with our order, insisting we were wrong. When she finally checked with the bar, she then confirmed it was indeed her mistake, after making a scene in front of other diners. An expensive lunch which was ruined, avoid!

22/04/2026: I would say that it's not a Persian restaurant from the combinations of foods and spices. It is just a restaurant with some offers of Middle Eastern food/grills. Perhaps, it is imitation of Turkish plus Afghan. I was little disappointed when I requested the reception lady to not put salt on the fries. Unfortunately, they didn't listen and sprinkled salt on the chips and I realised after I picked my food order. I think customers should be listened esp. if something they avoid due to health reasons.

21/04/2026: One of the best affordable food in Ireland.

10/04/2026: Playing Poole there was nice with the family!

05/04/2026: We arrived early at the venue, around 7:00 PM. There were no pool tables available—everything was occupied. That was fine, so we waited like everyone else. When we got there, we noticed three tables with “Reserved” signs, so we asked the staff. They told us one of the tables had a reservation and would be free at 8:45 PM. We then went to the counter to ask if we could reserve it for after that time, and they said yes—just wait until the time, then get a cue and pay. So we waited from 7:00 PM. When it was finally time to pay, we were told that other people had already taken the table. We complained to the staff, and one of them said that’s just how it works—whoever arrives and pays first gets the table. But earlier, another staff member had told us that once the reserved group finished, whoever got the cue and paid would play. We even asked if we could pay in advance as a “pre-reservation,” but they said no, only after the current group finished. Naturally, we were upset—we waited over an hour just for someone else to come in and pay for something we were told we couldn’t do. We called the manager. The great “THEO, JUST THEO”—that’s literally how he introduced himself when I asked for his name. He wasn’t even wearing a name tag or any identification, and he was casually drinking his coffee as if he were at home. He completely ignored our situation and showed no professionalism or leadership. Totally unprepared. After we complained, he simply gave us a thumbs-up 👍🏽 and walked off. This is the manager—who probably trained (or didn’t train) the staff, who were clearly confused. One said reservations weren’t possible, another said they were. The manager said reservations don’t exist, yet there were three tables marked as reserved. A complete mess. And just to add, we wanted to order a large portion of wings, and the staff couldn’t even tell us how many wings come in a portion. I work in a hotel, and all the waiters know this kind of basic information. But my main issue here is the manager’s attitude. This is someone who should be trained to deal with customers properly—completely unprepared. I’m writing this in English so that if there is a real manager reviewing these reviews and passing them on to the staff, they might at least consider hiring someone competent who knows how to solve problems. The place itself is good, but the staff and management are terrible.

18/04/2026: What a great place for go to Saturday For eat sandwich or brunch.. they have 4 tables empty eventually all booked even. if you ask They don’t do takeaway Saturday Sundays Food might be good didn’t tasted but I can tell they have worst operation and service…

15/04/2026: The place was nice, a bit cramped but clean etc. no problems with the staff. However I wouldn't recommend coming here for the fry ups in the morning. For the price of the full breakfast it's not worth it. The portion was meh The bacon was burnt The eggs were overcooked The butter was just out of the fridge and hard to spread Hash brown (singular) was bland, no salt either The beans were an odd type, it more just tasted bland, a mouthful of tomato if anything It's good they're locally sourced but it's too bougie to be a proper fryup and it was nowhere near as tasty as something regular, very spendy for it too. What a shame!

20/04/2026: We had a lovely dinner in Roly's on the early bird out on the terrace. We were so well looked after and the food was delish. Great value and would definitely return.

18/04/2026: If you are looking for a place welcoming with good service and good food for several occasions go to Roly's. I went there to meet a friend, originally for a coffee and then in the end we decided to go for some pints and sides. They have different rooms and can accommodate you for coffees, teas, lunch, dinner... You name it. Loved going in there. Highly recommended.

09/06/2025: Great food, great prices and most importantly….very friendly staff. Lovely place to go for breakfast or lunch

13/05/2025: Great cafe/ late tapas bar on selected evenings. Staff are so welcoming, a real community feel to the place

19/03/2026: It's nandos, you know what yonexpect

15/03/2026: Overall good experience, friendly staffs and always good food.

14/12/2025: Was there last night for there Xmas show. The Born Identity,Abba tribute, and Dame Scruffy great night band were excellent, drag artist was also super.

07/12/2025: I hosted my baby shower at Red Cow inn and it was fantastic! The space was beautiful, comfortable, and exactly what I needed to make the day special. Even though I set up everything myself, the venue made it easy and stress free. I would definitely recommend it for anyone planning a celebration! With booking they were very informative and got back to me quickly, i cant recommend them more!

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 😊

17/04/2026: Joshua was the most fabulous host. What a wonderful experience. SO Attentive and Professional! Give this man a promotion!

12/04/2026: Really lovely place. I just took my daughter here for a quick lunch having never been before. It was fabulous. Excellent pizza - so fresh, and piping hot. For those of us in the area who might’ve missed a local Italian I can highly recommend it if you haven’t tried it before. The staff by the way were just so friendly and available. We’ll be back.

22/10/2025: The code for the toilet is ... oh wait - if I post it they will probably change it. Never mind. Ask one of the beautiful & charming servers

28/09/2025: A coffee shop where you can drink coffee and have a quick snack. The price is lower than in authentic places, but the assortment is also ordinary. We didn't have to wait. The coffee is acceptable.

18/02/2026: Good food and very friendly staff. Kathy

24/01/2026: Nice food, little veg (even though explicitly stated on the menu). The chips could have been fried slightly longer. Portion size is decent, but men will probably need to order a side with it. Atmosphere is good, sports were visible from all booths. Service was friendly. Good traditional pub.

20/09/2025: On Sunday morning/afternoon only one barman serving alot of people and Chang kegs. Too much for one barman another one needed

12/09/2025: Lovely food, great service and great value. A quiet night but that didn't bother us. Nice and relaxed 😊

24/08/2025: Always good. Friendly service. Excellent food
