The best restaurants in Dublin

24/05/2026: We enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea here with family! The service was fabulous, as was the atmosphere. The sweets were especially delicious, and we also really enjoyed the scones/banana bread.

14/04/2026: Went last Saturday with my three girlfriends celebrating my friends engagement! Had such a lovely afternoon service. The staff were lovely and informative, attention to detail was immaculate. Highly recommend. My servers name was Karla I believe, couldn't praise her highly enough.

08/02/2026: The best halloumi sandwich that I've tried and I usually don't go for vegetarian options. Wanted to buy something not spicy to share with a kid.

22/05/2026: Went to the dragon brunch loved the girls they put on a brilliant show and the drinks were amazing! Food was a bit disappointing but still had a great time!

19/05/2026: I like the food there, was super nice, and the staff too, good place for enjoying with friends and family

20/05/2026: We visited yesterday and were left genuinely disappointed by our experience. We ordered 2 pints, chicken wings, and garlic cheese chips, coming to €40, which already felt steep. When the chips arrived, we were surprised to find the “garlic” element was simply 3 to 4 raw, roughly chopped garlic cloves dumped on top, completely overpowering and inedible. We politely asked if we could swap to the bacon cheese chips instead, but what came back appeared to be the exact same dish, simply reheated. We know this for certain because we had put a small amount of ketchup on the chips before requesting the change, and the replacement plate came back with the same ketchup stains still visible. Nothing had changed. When we raised our concern, we were told “it is what it is”, which we found dismissive and frankly unprofessional. Even your own waitress visibly reacted to the amount of garlic on the plate. We are not ones to complain, but €40 for this experience, the food quality, the refusal to properly address our request, and the indifferent attitude, was not acceptable. We would welcome a response and hope this is taken as constructive feedback.

07/05/2026: A lovely layout with a well equipped beer garden, which included tv. This was very welcome for the large groups of Man Utd & some Liverpool fans. The food was delicious and the Guinness was 👍 Staff were efficient & friendly.

20/05/2026: Gem 💎. We discovered this place as we're looking to park the car for going on holidays. Dropped of car and got courtesy bus to airport. Easy access to departures and on return super easy collection at park 16 for coaches . The hotel itself is very comfortable, has everything you'd need.we stayed here after getting off late flight . We actually got bumped up to an apartment so had choice of bedrooms and kitchen plus 2bathrooms. Huge space with super views over airport.We stayed for lunch next day in the comfortable bar/lounge/ restaurant. Food was really nice great selection. Overall the most memorable part of our time using their facilities is the staff and absolute care and generous care they gave us when we rang back from holidays and needed our car checked. They went out of their way to contact us and complete our need. The car was parked underground for €12 a day, courtesy coach to and from the airport and then to stay over night was €241 in total. Great way to finish a lovely relaxing holiday. Totally recommend using the facilities and staying at The Metro & Apartments.

19/05/2026: Wonderful staff! Clean rooms. Closes to the bus to get to City Centre. Airport shuttle made getting out of the airport very easy! Great place to stay!

31/03/2026: This Dunnes Stores is a smallish local grocery store with excellent free parking facilities.

02/03/2026: Modern spacious mid size supermarket. Good ranges. Clean and nicely lit. Great (mature..like myself) lady on checkout. Cycle parking (6) just outside Recommend.

05/04/2026: Fast delivery, Food used to be really tasty. but the last couple of times it hasn’t been great, you can tell the food is fresh but there’s no flavour to it, the likes of the curry sauce, spice bags, 3 and 4 in 1’s have little to no flavour. Food needs some work. Would be sad to see this place go down hill over very fixable issues.

05/12/2025: Always consistently good food staff very friendly 1 of the few takeaways where you can eat in also 10/10 best Chinese food in finglas

21/11/2025: Good coffee and delicious cake.

12/10/2025: 👋, I came back with my little son from Temple Street hospital and I left autside my son and my wife ,the shop was full ,I wait for 5 min and I order a pie with means, they ask me to warm it ,the time was 10 20 am ,supposed to be warm, I pay 5.50 e I gotit and I notice that was from previous day ,i through to the birds .not again in this Shop.

29/06/2026: Hands down the best Chinese in south Dublin, tastes different than all the others, it looks different and even comes in different little boxes which just proves they work on their own initiative, the flavours are unbeatable. The house curry has sliced roasted pork and the young chow rice is the nicest I’ve ever tasted, the shredded chicken contains lots of chicken not just streaks of batter. Highly recommend! ✨

22/06/2026: Order: chicken chop suey with fried noodles, no celery. Portion size: genuinely generous. Larger than usual for this type of takeaway and enough to leave a good impression. 9/10 Taste: good overall. Ingredients were cooked properly, with no raw onion or hard carrot, which is always a positive. There was a good amount of chicken, and the dish was not oversalted. Solid flavour and well prepared. 8/10 Service / presentation: simple takeaway packaging. No cutlery and no napkin included, which is a weakness. However, when I asked for chopsticks, they gave them to me immediately and without any issue, which I appreciated. 7/10 Price: fair for the amount of food received. Good value for money. 9/10 Overall: 8/10. Very good portion size, properly cooked ingredients, enough meat, balanced seasoning and fair pricing. Definitely recommended.

27/05/2026: Great little place Good coffee and sweet treats

18/05/2026: Fantastic food, lovely service and amazing spot. Highly recommend the cakes and sandwiches, especially the chicken pesto sandwich.

25/05/2026: A really good selection of drinks and food, clean and friendly.

19/04/2026: They played "Start Over" by 5 Seconds of Summer

28/04/2026: Great time had with the kids. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Very tasty food at good value for money.

28/04/2026: Food ok expensive, no parking what so ever ,could get clamped if you overstay your parking time , Typically dublin restaurant, tourist attractions just no parking ,my advice about dublin don't go ,, Go to anywhere outside the m50 for a relaxing break

18/04/2026: very good food but service is awful and one of the girls behind the counter is very rude. disappointing to be honest as this is a lovely little spot

17/04/2026: Great place for a bite to eat. Lovely staff

24/04/2026: Me my partner and daughter good here every week or so lovely people and quality ingreadents great portions and the pancakes are beautfull asweell

26/03/2026: Came here for breakfast a few times while visuting. It's a nice friendly little cafe. Very good oat milk latte, perfect poached eggs,good bacon and sausages. The mushrooms are the highlight. I don't know what they're doing but these mushrooms are fantastic. A little chewy and crispy around the edges and with a rich savory flavor. Just delicious. The black pudding is a little better than usual. It has some extra herb flavor. You can get excellent Irish brown soda bread if you ask, instead of the ordinary toast. The only things I don't recommend are the hash browns and the onion rings. They both seem like boxed frozen. The onion rings in particular are onion-flavored batter all the way through, not actual onion. Get the mushrooms instead.
