The best restaurants in Dublin

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

24/11/2025: Stuff was very nice. Food was simple and average.

04/11/2025: A good place to grab a coffee and a toast or panini before visiting the Guinness Storehouse. Very good coffee, very friendly owner. Simple but clean.

05/11/2025: This café is unfortunately no longer there. We were really looking forward to it.

13/10/2025: First of all, it was wonderful to be welcomed by the Italian owner! The place is located right in the city center and is very charming, structured on two levels. Breakfast is highly customizable: from sweet pastries like brioches to huge, typical local breakfasts (I took it!). The coffee is Italian, so exceptional! We'll definitely be back when we next visit Dublin!

09/02/2026: Excellent hotel and staff but lost a score for early check out of 11am and keycards didnt work from about 10am also no fridge in room. But saying all that the good out weights those points. Spacious parking, extremely warm welcome by reception and lovely clean and comfortable room. Breakfast was fabulous with a HUGE selection of quality food. Staff throughout exceptionaly helpful and friendly. We will definitely return.

09/02/2026: Room was clean and well provisioned: there was ironing board, safe, tea and coffee facilities, comfortable bed and good quality curtains so room nice and dark at night. Windows not completely sound proof and quite hot at night with only an option of basic fan to reduce heat if needed (no AC) Breakfast was great: fresh food, great selection of cooked and continental options and amazing coffee. However do not opt for dining here: it was chaotic....massive wait in restaurant for serving, food was not good: even hotel bar was overwhelmed: there appeared to be no direction for service and grossly understaffed.....I'd advise you dine elsewhere if staying in the hotel. Parking is provided under the hotel and was adequate however access and egress to car park is extremely tight....very narrow steep ramp with hairpin bends into carpark: if you are in a large vehicle it would be difficult to navigate. Staff overall very pleasant including the younger staff who really just seemed to be overwhelmed at the dining service.

24/12/2025: Fantastic Chinese takeaway. Worth a visit

01/12/2025: Ordered the Si Chuan boiled beef and chicken rolls. Staff were very friendly, good portion of meat in the dishes and flavours were amazing.. free parking outside
