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

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!

15/03/2026: Update: 15/03/2026 A couple of years since I was last in Salamanca and unfortunately the only thing that has changed is the date. Also, ditch the mussels or change the sauce. 2024: Had great memories of this restaurant, its tapas were always fresh and full of flavour. Today it was like a faint echo of itself, similar menu items which, while they were ok, suffered in comparison to their predecessors.

14/03/2026: It's nice to see my city's name around the world. A good place to enjoy myself and feel a little closer to home. The meat and appetizers were delicious. The paella could be better. Around €23 per person (2024) ---+--- The second time wasn't as good as the first. Bread with sauces: only the tapenade was tasty, the romesco was terrible, and the mojo was nowhere near as good as the Canarian one. Chicken in Ximenez sauce was more garlicky than anything else. Octopus was mediocre and a bit chewy. Stuffed peppers were tasty and plentiful. Ham croquettes could be better, but they were good. Seafood paella was terrible; the use of canned goods gave it a vinegary taste. The black pudding was okay. Considering it was tapas, the whole feast cost €100. I hope they improve in terms of quality and flavor next time, as well as the price. (2026)

24/12/2025: great stop for a coffee and cake

11/12/2025: Delicious ham&cheese sandwich 🥪 Fab coffee...quick and easy drive thru with quality products!

22/08/2025: Super delicious coffee. And amazing sandwiches/bagels/paninis/muffins, etc.

16/08/2025: Nice cafe with lovely ciabatta toasties.

01/03/2026: A humble chinese restaurant but a real gem in south dublin. If u r looking for a venue like i was for a family of 10 people, trying to impress ur in-laws and your young adult children in a Chinese restaurant, you know you got it right when the draft beer was fresh, wine delicious and the food menu has everyone s favourite and the service speedy. Here's what I ordered and all of them delicious: 1.Signature crispy roast duck 2.Crispy chilly chicken with salt and pepper 3.King prawns with corn and salt egg york 4.Seabass sweet and sour 5.razor fish with minced garlic 6. Twice cooked pork belly 7. Sizzling Beef with black bean sauce 9. Stir fried green veg 10. Stir fried aubergine and long beans 11. Chinese pork dumplings To add to our delight, the owner offered a huge complimentary fruit platter for our birthday occasion.

24/02/2026: This is a fantastic Chinese restaurant. I love seafood and meat, and I can find everything I like here. Steamed fish, boiled fish, ginger and scallion lobster, ginger and scallion shrimp, spicy stir-fried razor clams, and scallion-oil snail slices are all my favorites. The stir-fried lamb, cumin beef, Sichuan-style chicken, and sliced ​​beef and tripe in chili sauce are also excellent. There's a large parking lot downstairs, which is super convenient. Eating Chinese food here is definitely the right choice. It's also a great dining spot between Dublin and Powerscourt.

22/03/2026: My recommendation is not to stay in this hotel or not to support this hotel in any way. It has 2 floors open to the public the rest of the hotel is for the International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS). Such a pity I used to love this hotel and its location for work purposes. Very sad to see it operating in this fashion - taking taxpayers money etc.

15/03/2026: Held event & team were amazing. The room is big without being too big. A lot nicer than standard conference room you get in hotel.

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.

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!

18/11/2025: The only thing the has the air a conditioner on and it is November. It is not nice to sit down to ha a nice coffee with the cold air on your head at this time if the year.

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

27/02/2026: I brought a school group into Rockets IFSC & they were extremely helpful & accommodating in particular Ramona. Thank you!

22/02/2026: Oh my god what happened to the menu! There is next to nothing on it and it’s not cheap! I sent my daughter over with a friend and they no longer take cash! She had to walk out. Ridiculous! Come on management this used to be a great place. Now I’m sat here and it’s empty. Not another soul in the place. I live locally and for sure this place is going to close.

19/09/2025: Really good black pudding sandwich. Great service & surprisingly quiet given its location.

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!
