The best restaurants in Dublin

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 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

11/01/2026: Great little gem out the back entrance of a wonderfully chaotic second hand bookshop. The cakes were delicious and the staff helped create a friendly atmosphere. Note: it’s better to enter through the bookshop over the strange back alley route.

23/12/2025: A truly special, tucked-away cafe with gorgeous cakes and scones and other treats baked on site. Food portions are large, hospitality is warm and generous, and it's a peaceful spot to spend an afternoon. Abundant courtyard seating (with heaters) for the warmly dressed (my first visit was in December). Highly recommended for people who want a Dublin oasis within an easy walk of Grafton/St. Stephen's/etc. Also of note: While the cafe has been in business for a couple of decades, it changed hands this year and the new owner, Julio, was on site, very warmly welcoming, and seems to have a happy staff working for him. UPDATE: Just noting after several more visits that my first impression has only cemented into a conviction that this is a world-class cafe and people who take the time to seek it out will leave feeling like the luckiest and best-liked customers who have ever visited.

11/03/2026: I have had many experiences with this restaurant, both dining in and ordering takeaway. Unfortunately, the service has been very disappointing. The delivery drivers often tell customers the food is on the way, but in reality they take multiple deliveries at once, which causes long delays and leaves customers waiting. The staff also seem to struggle with communication. In many cases they have very limited English, so even simple requests have to be repeated many times and sometimes the order is still not correct. Because of these issues, the overall experience has been frustrating and unreliable.

10/03/2026: This is a place to go in Dublin if you want authentic, fantastic tasting Karahi and proper roti/nan bread. Good portions and fair prices. Lots of other options on offer and we have tried some of the starters which have been spot on. Staff are friendly and the establishment is split into a restaurant area and a canteen/café area where the open kitchen is based. It is an alcohol/wine/beer free zone but there is a good selection of soft drinks available.

20/11/2025: Wilde and Green in Milltown is one of those places that seems to have been designed by someone with excellent taste and absolutely no interest in where you’re supposed to park your car. You arrive hungry, optimistic, and ready for lunch, only to find a small car park across the road that appears to operate on a first come, first serve, and good-luck-to-you system. There are, technically, two spaces outside, but they are about as attainable as front-row tickets to a sold-out gig. Once you manage to wedge your vehicle somewhere within the general postcode, however, things take a turn for the better. I went in with my uncle for an early lunch. He ordered the breakfast sandwich, I took the chicken sandwich, and both arrived pre-made but warmed up to a level that, against all odds, actually works. My uncle then demolished a scone with the enthusiasm of a man who has found his true calling. The coffees followed: he became an instant devotee of their cappuccinos, while I stuck with an americano that did exactly what it was supposed to do without making a fuss about it. The staff were sound, friendly, and helpful in the kind of effortless way that makes you forgive nearly anything. They’ve also got a gourmet range of bits you can take home, all of which look dangerously tempting, especially if you're the type who shouldn’t be trusted with a credit card while hungry. In the end, Wilde and Green is one of those spots that would be almost perfect if someone could simply magic twenty extra parking spaces into existence. But once you’re inside, with a warm sandwich, a good coffee, and the faint smell of baked goods calling your name, you forget the minor battle you had outside. Worth a visit. Just bring patience for the parking.

25/01/2026: Best sushi I've had in the city, we're very lucky to have lived within walking distance for years so we've visited countless times. Service is always incredibly quick, with friendly and welcoming staff. Decor and atmosphere are wonderful, it's just a fantastic place to eat. To top it all off, it's actually cheaper than similar Japanese restaurants. Grab a Tiger beer, a spicy tuna roll, and enjoy a wonderful evening my friends

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

19/10/2025: Not very impressed when seeing one of the staff members getting money from a customer (coins) having gloves on counting before taking them away to the cash register and back touching the food afterwards!

Although slightly on the pricier side, it is well worth the investment. The cocktails were delicious. Thank you so much to the amazing staff for such a lovely meal. Will certainly be back!

15/10/2025: Great to have this place in Inchicore. Lovely wine and produce. I must say though the staff could be friendlier! They are not very chatty
