The best restaurants in Dublin

01/01/2026: The staff was very polite especially the girl who made reservation for us. Loved the mango lassi. Butter chicken was not as good and the quantity was meagre. Sev puri felt dry. Overall ambience is fine but confined but it works.

31/12/2025: Wonderful food, vegetarian is great. So tasty and hearty. The cheese dosa was amazing as well as the chana masala and paneer were delicious. Great service from Namrata. Fully recommend.

14/01/2026: Very welcoming place, highly recommended

02/12/2025: Vibrant food market with a welcoming, communal atmosphere. It’s lively yet not chaotic, allowing visitors to explore comfortably. The variety of food stalls, casual seating and upbeat energy make it a perfect spot for quick bites or a relaxed afternoon of tasting and wandering.

16/03/2026: Lovely wine. Friendly staff. Nice selection of cheese. Nothing more needed.

06/03/2026: Nice but small place. Cheese plate was amazing. 15 Euro service fee if you buy wine and want to drink there.

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

07/08/2025: Lovely coffee and friendly staff.

20/06/2025: The CoCoBrew van joined us for Day 2 of our wedding celebrations, and they were an absolute hit! From the moment they arrived, they brought such a fun and relaxed energy to the day—and the coffee, cocktails, and baked goods were all next level. After a big day and night of celebrating, guests were raving about how CoCoBrew was the perfect elixir to bring them back to life! Whether it was the coffee, cocktails, or a sweet treat, everything they served was delicious and exactly what we all needed. The service was top notch too—friendly, efficient, and full of smiles. The team were an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout, and they made everything so easy and seamless. CoCoBrew truly added something special to our Day 2, and we’re so glad we had them there. We’ve had so many guests mention how brilliant it was—and we couldn’t agree more. Highly, highly recommend!

22/03/2026: We had a great time at The Woollen Mill and overall it was a really enjoyable experience. The food was excellent, everything we ordered was very tasty and well prepared, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. The staff were friendly and the whole place had a really nice buzz about it. The only downside was that the table we were sitting at wasn’t very comfortable. Also, we wouldn’t really recommend sitting outside unless the weather is unusually good! Ireland is just too cold most of the time to properly enjoy outdoor seating. Also would expect Guinness to be served. But overall, we had a great experience, really enjoyed the food, and would definitely come back.

22/03/2026: This place was recommended to us by chat gpt as great local Irish food. Their website looks attractive with modern balanced dishes. We had a lunch there on Sunday, very limited menu with mostly unhealthy options. Little vegetables, I asked for a plane leaf salad with tomatoes for kids which they didn’t have and couldn’t make… white sweetened buns for burgers with fries, and vegetable nachos for me. I couldn’t eat nachos as they were all stocked together. Attaching the picture. Not coming back for sure

19/11/2025: The atmosphere and the service was great. The coffee was excellent. The chocolate croissants tasted like it was from yesterday even though I came early in the morning.

09/11/2025: A lovely cafe beautiful food and coffee and a nice outdoor seating area

04/01/2026: A lovely Pub, Staff Very efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend this pub.

04/12/2025: Great pub, friendly service, fantadtic music on a Wednesday night!

21/09/2025: Unfortunately, the broth wasn't tasty, but I recommend the pork chop.

13/09/2025: I recently had the pleasure of stopping by Smaczne To Go, and I must say it turned out to be a very pleasant discovery. From the moment I walked in, I noticed how neat and orderly the place felt — clean tables, tidy counters, and an inviting display of food that immediately caught my attention. There is something comforting about seeing a spot take pride in its appearance, and Smaczne To Go gives exactly that impression. What truly stands out, though, is the food itself. Everything I tried tasted incredibly fresh, as if it had just come out of a home kitchen. There’s a clear emphasis on quality ingredients, and you can taste it in every bite. The menu lets you enjoy a little piece of Polish cuisine, from hearty flavors to lighter options, all prepared with care. It’s rare to find takeaway food that manages to keep a homemade character, but here they pull it off beautifully. Service-wise, the ladies behind the counter don’t go out of their way to be overly warm or chatty, yet they remain polite, efficient, and professional. They greet you, take your order, and make sure everything is correct without unnecessary fuss. While some people might prefer a bigger smile or extra friendliness, I appreciated that they focus on getting things done smoothly — and in a busy takeaway, that’s often what counts most. Another big plus is how reasonable the prices are. You really feel like you’re getting good value for money considering the freshness and quality of the food. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch, taking something home after work, or just want to enjoy a taste of authentic Polish flavors, it’s an excellent option that won’t put a strain on your budget. Overall, Smaczne To Go is a clean, dependable place with consistently tasty dishes, fair prices, and service that, while not overly warm, is always respectful and decent. If you’re nearby and looking for a satisfying meal that feels both simple and carefully made, this little spot is well worth a visit.

22/03/2026: Missing the authenticity. Food was ok, service not too good. Neither service nor cooks are Italian at least did not even greet in Italian. Wines were sold out and they tried to sell us the most expensive. Upon claiming that they somehow „found“ another bottle of the requested. It was also very bright illuminated and not very cozy. Not what we are used to by an Italian restaurant.

22/03/2026: A good Italian restaurant. The first courses are well-made, the pasta cooked al dente, and the sauces aren't too spicy. The restaurant is spacious and the staff are friendly. Recommended.

19/09/2025: I had a great experience at this bubble tea shop Ea-Tea! The staff were really nice and very accommodating, always ready with recommendations. I was pleasantly surprised by their dim sum menu — delicious, fresh, and such a good complement to the drinks. Everything is fairly priced, which is quite unusual in Dublin these days where prices are generally high. Great value for money and definitely worth a visit! 💯❤️

09/09/2025: I love Taro tea but not many Tea places does it that taste good. This is one of the few! I usually go to my "reliable bubble tea shop" but decided to try this one for a change and it didn't disappoint. I've stopped there with my two little kids and as it was lunch time we got some chichen pop corn and chips as well with our Taro bubble teas. Chicken is super delicious! What a treat and surprise. We liked so much we got more to take home as the ration is good for one person and we are three so we kinda fought a bit over that chicken 😂 There are few tables inside for a quick stop and snack and it's just on front of Parnell Luas stop. Staff are also welcoming and friendly. My son says the man in the counter looks like one of the guys in Demon K-pop Hunter but I'm not sure about that or who 😅 He also says he wants to come back again. And we will!

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!

29/11/2025: Could not of had a better experience. I came in for gait analysis and new trainers. The owner was so friendly and knowledgeable, he was able to size up my feet by just looking. He recommended an excellent pair of runners which already make running feel alot more stable and comfortable along with some great general running advice. Could not recommend enough I will be back.

12/10/2025: Top class service, Ash has a wealth of experience and his advice and support has made a huge difference to my running and recovery, amazing selection of products. Recommend 100%

12/09/2025: A great place with a lovely staff, delicious and quick food. And the coffee is very good, although I'm not a big fan of the one they make in the hospital.

01/08/2025: Amazing mocca and super friendly staff
