The best restaurants in Dublin

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.

09/11/2025: Good Irish pub Good local beers Live sports Authentic atmosphere Food available

26/10/2025: I’m giving 5 stars — the wings were delicious, and the service was excellent. We were also served by a wonderful woman named Tamara. She definitely deserves 5 stars!

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!

22/10/2025: We visited Olives Garden with our daughter and our dog. Lovely outdoor seating, family-friendly atmosphere, and a great selection of pastries. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view. Great coffees

13/10/2025: Great coffee and delicious cake! Very busy but that was due to the sunshine...

09/09/2025: I googled this location on the maps, just to eat and have a beer. The waitress told me that no food is served here, despite it's on the menu on Google Maps. She was also not friendly at all. So I just left.

06/09/2025: Nice atmosphere, very authentic. Delicious beer 😊

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

29/12/2025: I come here regularly and love the menu and variety but I’ve ordered soup on 3 different occasions and its extremely over salted!! Also music is way too loud.

29/10/2025: Great food with friendly service.

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!

04/09/2025: Delicious and strong coffee. The sandwiches are a delight!

09/08/2025: Really nice little coffee/sandwich place. Nice outdoor seating. The coffee is amazing. The staff are very friendly and nice.

10/04/2026: Playing Poole there was nice with the family!

05/04/2026: We arrived early at the venue, around 7:00 PM. There were no pool tables available—everything was occupied. That was fine, so we waited like everyone else. When we got there, we noticed three tables with “Reserved” signs, so we asked the staff. They told us one of the tables had a reservation and would be free at 8:45 PM. We then went to the counter to ask if we could reserve it for after that time, and they said yes—just wait until the time, then get a cue and pay. So we waited from 7:00 PM. When it was finally time to pay, we were told that other people had already taken the table. We complained to the staff, and one of them said that’s just how it works—whoever arrives and pays first gets the table. But earlier, another staff member had told us that once the reserved group finished, whoever got the cue and paid would play. We even asked if we could pay in advance as a “pre-reservation,” but they said no, only after the current group finished. Naturally, we were upset—we waited over an hour just for someone else to come in and pay for something we were told we couldn’t do. We called the manager. The great “THEO, JUST THEO”—that’s literally how he introduced himself when I asked for his name. He wasn’t even wearing a name tag or any identification, and he was casually drinking his coffee as if he were at home. He completely ignored our situation and showed no professionalism or leadership. Totally unprepared. After we complained, he simply gave us a thumbs-up 👍🏽 and walked off. This is the manager—who probably trained (or didn’t train) the staff, who were clearly confused. One said reservations weren’t possible, another said they were. The manager said reservations don’t exist, yet there were three tables marked as reserved. A complete mess. And just to add, we wanted to order a large portion of wings, and the staff couldn’t even tell us how many wings come in a portion. I work in a hotel, and all the waiters know this kind of basic information. But my main issue here is the manager’s attitude. This is someone who should be trained to deal with customers properly—completely unprepared. I’m writing this in English so that if there is a real manager reviewing these reviews and passing them on to the staff, they might at least consider hiring someone competent who knows how to solve problems. The place itself is good, but the staff and management are terrible.

19/11/2025: Found this pub really great. Superb staff and staff apart from one member of staff. A younger blonde woman who was quite unhappy and rude a couple of times while serving me. Overall well worth a visit

18/07/2025: I come here very often and buy two of my favorite bakery items an Almond Croissant and Chocolate Orange Cake

03/07/2025: Nice bakery and pastry shop in Stoneybatter, lovely almond croissants, beautiful sourdough loafs and nice Toastie or pre made rolls. Highly recommend

26/09/2025: Great chipper , I drive out of my way to get their chip's,yummy.and the staff are lovely to deal with .

12/03/2026: Food was delicious. Service excellent and friendly and atmosphere buzzy. Will visit again when next in Dublin. When booking its better to phone and give credit card details as online booking is slightly more complicated. The last action of putting in code to check credit card would not connect.

08/03/2026: Do not order delivery from this shop. I ordered food which took 2 hours to arrive. Every 30 mins or so I would ring up to ask for an ETA. They would always say 'in a few minutes', and then nothing would happen for the next half hour. When the food finally did arrive, at this point it was too late to eat it, and it was of course completely cold - they didn't even re-do it in the kitchen. At one point, the manager said 'ok, this is getting ridiculous, please wait 3 minutes and I will do it myself'. 10 minutes later, I rang him back, and he said that the driver was struggling to find it - essentially, he lied to me about doing it himself. To make matters worse, I was only a 5 minute walk from the restaurant. I ordered a delivery because I was working from home and needed the extra time (vs sitting in the restaurant), assuming that it would arrive quickly enough given the short distance. I may as well have been in Belfast given how long it took to arrive. Eventually, I just went to the restaurant myself to pick up the food. I had already offered to do this 2x times over the past 2 hours, but for some reason they insisted that the driver was 'nearly there' and so I shouldn't come. Maybe they were just having a bad night, but the sheer lack of integrity is startling. When I arrived in the restaurant, the proposed solution from the manager was 2 cans of san pellegrino and a few euro coins dumped in the takeaway bag. I asked for a full refund, and they tried to negotiate a 50% refund. I explained to them that I would just do a chargeback instead and get 100%, because in no world would I want to pay 60 euros for some cold pizzas and starters that came out of the oven 2.5 hours ago. The wait time alone should have been enough to justify a refund, let alone the food. Maybe this is a nice restaurant to eat in, but I will never be ordering from them again and am still baffled at how much of an ordeal could be made out of an evening meal. This was my first experience of them and I was so shocked at their modus operandi that I was almost amused. EDIT following the owner's reply - this is complete nonsense, I told them the correct address, and they had multiple opportunities to rectify this issue, since every 30 mins I rang them up to confirm what was going on. There is no excuse for this, even the duplicity of this reply shows their approach to dealing with customers - and it also does not explain how the delivery could possibly have arrived 2.5 hours late! They would never accept an order for such distance since the delivery economics do not make sense. What a shambles.

03/11/2025: Very good service and great food quality! Recommend 🫶

29/10/2025: Really great variety of food, great soups and great coffee also. This is a very nice atmosphere here and Staff are very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.
