The best restaurants in Dublin

03/02/2026: Absolutely shocking no que was out for the night wasn't even packed doorman refused me entry didn't argue walked away then got into 3 other places without any problems. Miss this place out on your list to go!

23/01/2026: My friends and I absolutely loved the atmosphere at RIOT. From the moment we arrived, the vibe was amazing : great music, a really cool place, and a unique energy that makes you want to stay all night !! The drinks are excellent and well made, you can really tell there’s attention to quality. We were truly charmed by the entire RIOT team ⭐: always smiling, kind, welcoming and genuinely attentive. They make you feel comfortable and at home straight away. Definitely a must-visit spot in Dublin for a great night out. We’ll 100% be back!

05/02/2026: The Steak on the hot plate was amazing, the service was very kind to us as well! Would recommend visiting.

04/02/2026: Easily one of my favourite restaurants in the world. I always make sure to visit here when I’m in Dublin and I always have a great time. I’m positive you will enjoy the food as everything on the menu is very good and reasonably priced. The service is great too and if you happen to be a UFC fan you’ll enjoy being able to take pictures with the belt and all the other McGregor themed things around the restaurant.

11/12/2025: Great Local store with some excellent deli products

13/11/2025: Bought Steak on 3 or 4 occasions to be disappointed immensely . Hiding very fatty underside and meat incorrectly butchered . Go elsewhere !!!

01/01/2026: The chicken pieces were black on the inside and were like rubber, the dish I got was supposed to come with veg but there was nothing. Never again.

13/01/2026: Absolutely fantastic experience at Diwali Indian Restaurant in Dublin! The food was bursting with authentic flavors — every dish was fresh, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented. The butter chicken and naan were outstanding, and the portions were generous. The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive, which made the evening even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for top-quality Indian cuisine in Dublin. I’ll definitely be back!

11/01/2026: Very tasty food, we even got masala chai even tho it wasn't on the menu. The restaurant is in Dublin for over 20 years for a good reason.

11/01/2026: My experience is in relation to Avoca, not this store specifically. I ordered a Christmas hamper online and it never arrived. I have emailed three times, tried chat support, and tried calling multiple times and left a voicemail with head office explaining the situation and asking them to ring me. No one has responded to me and it is now 3 weeks since my order (I paid extra for 1-2 day delivery).

29/12/2025: Avoca restaurant has changed a lot since changing ownership. The menu is very disappointing. The food we ordered was just ok. Limp Caesar salad was the lowlight along with seafood spice bag. Would not recommend. Even the tea and coffee’s were disappointing. Will not be returning.

19/04/2025: The pastries and coffee are delicious. The atmosphere is very cozy, and the staff is super friendly. A place I'll always come back to 🥰

28/10/2025: Great coffee stop with safe parking for bicycles, sitting indoor and outdoor, amazing selection of cakes and other sweets, great coffee. Very friendly and efficient staff👍

13/10/2025: Absolutely lovely. The food is delicious and the coffee is amazing.

16/12/2025: Called to see if they would serve me an hour before closing and they hung up without answer

09/11/2025: I got burger with fries but it took like 2.0 minutes and then my food was cold . About the fries it was not fresh at all. About the burger the bread was so soaked and the meat was so tough to chew. Omg the worst meal I’ve ever had 👎👎👎

28/10/2025: Love the goat meat pepper and gizdodo combo, awesome

16/10/2025: The best african restaurant in Ireland

01/01/2026: Great expresso coffee. Appreciated the fairness of the price of a single shot expresso. Its was perfect served in a porcelan cup and very good quality. The croissants where very good, fresh and crunchy. The ambiance is relaxed and cosy and enjoyed the decor with paintings on the wall and a map of the Suppliers in an outstanding frame. It has our reccomendation. Well done to the owners and Er Buchetto team.

01/01/2026: I used to go here regularly after work or sometimes with my friend on a Saturday afternoon when I lived nearby. I always had the toasted panino with roasted aubergine, roasted pepper, melted mozzarella and pesto, my dream food. If I had only one meal in life I think I’d seriously consider this. The coffee was top class. I’m the hardest person to please when it comes to coffee so this is saying something. The lady who owns the caffe I remember was such a hard working lady, so passionate and down to earth. I’m going to make the trip this week to pop in. I can’t wait. Great to see small local cafe’s come out tops 👍
