The best restaurants in Dublin

15/05/2026: This Falafel spot is full of flavour and amazing vegan options galore. No meat needed when the food tastes this good. The hummus is fresh, creamy, and made perfectly, with warm bread that hits every time. The falafel, couscous, salads, and all the homemade dishes are packed with authentic spices and real heart. Special mention to Ali for the hospitality — welcoming vibes, top service, and food made with care. A beautiful mix of Palestinian and Moroccan culture with proper vegan food done right. Highly recommended 🔥🔥🔥

23/04/2026: Great place to have a quick lunch. Veggies were freshly cut, and service was pretty efficient.

22/03/2026: Its an amazing bar with an amazing bartender roster, i really love all of them and i am really proud of all of them, everything is top quality and Dublin will never understand how valuable this bar is. Manager Joao is king, I wish all the pubs in dublin were like this

17/01/2026: It’s a nice environment to be in but a double Jameson and Coke was €17.80. Got to admit no warning of that was a bit of a sting Everyone one else enjoyed it though with just beers

18/09/2025: We found Grapevine after a long walk. The warm colours of the cafe bar were welcoming. Inside, there was a choice of cafe style on the lower for and a stylish upper deck for a full meal experience. The four of us loved it and would go again.

24/08/2025: Great meal and service. Thank you.

26/05/2026: I met a friend here for lunch, found the food of a high quality for a very fair price

04/03/2026: Lovely little cafe, v nice coffee

13/06/2026: Lovely cafe for a coffee, but it's lacking an Irish touch. The food isn't great. It has so much potential, just lacking in the food. I would also recommend having a small kids' menu as it's very close to two schools.

09/06/2026: was in no.43 on Monday for coffee..excellent server very pleasant and efficient and very welcoming..very relaxing atmosphere...would recommend no.43..

13/06/2026: Sebastian was fantastic! Everything came to the table quickly and was delicious! Also gave us great recommendations for where else to go in town!

13/06/2026: Sebastian was the true star of the day

07/04/2026: Me and my family enjoyed the food. Huge servings and very authentic tastes. Staffs are friendly and very accommodating especially Princely(staff) who assisted us on choosing our food. Will highly recommend this to everyone who loves eating or to try Indian cuisine.

20/03/2026: Very disappointed to write this , but what an appalling service. If I could, I'd give negative rating to this place. I wrote to them particularly while booking that we were two people with and a buggy before making my reservation and they accepted it. On reaching, they had very less accomodations for a buggy and here's the sad part- they did not even try to accommodate us, clearly wanted us to leave because they couldn't fit the buggy. We asked them twice even thrice if they could fit it- but they clearly said , "no, then we are sorry" There were a few Irish people sitting and they were obviously expecting more of them on a Friday evening, looking for more profit, which is clearly understood by this behavior. If they didn't have enough space they should have clearly told me before accepting the reservation or just by call. Even if they genuinely couldn't fit it- at least show that kind of behavior. Customers aren't dumb to not understand your motive. Absolutely pathetic experience and very pathetic on the restaurant's part. We had to leave. I'll never recommend this place to anyone and make sure none of my acquaintances visit here.

15/05/2026: The back area was extremely dirty and messy. The table and floor were not clean. I politely asked the lady at the counter if she could wipe the table as it was very dirty, but she responded with attitude and even kicked my bag which was on the floor without apologising. If you cannot be friendly, why work in customer service? Her behaviour was rude and ill-mannered and it completely ruined our experience. However, the blonde girl who joined later was very sweet and lovely, so I do appreciate her kindness at the end.

12/05/2026: Overall, the place did not leave any special impression on me. The breakfast was quite ordinary, nothing special, and the staff were not very friendly. The food and service were average, so I’m unlikely to come back here again.

28/09/2025: Our party of 9 had a table booked for main course only tonight. Service was quick, friendly and efficient. The menu had a great range and everyone found something interesting to order. Upstairs a live jazz band was playing which added to the atmosphere, but didn’t overwhelm the conversation at our table. When the food arrived it got a unanimous thumbs up. Throughout the meal our server Bianca regularly checked up on us to make sure all was well and that the drinks were kept topped up as required. A few of us had desserts or tea/coffee afterwards to round off our meals. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant which has been a part of Dun Laoghaire for as long as I can remember.

25/09/2025: Delicious food with nice jazz music

19/05/2026: Really good experience and primarily down to the excellent service of Alex. The food was good as always and always a nice treat.

16/05/2026: Lovely food great service ,tvs to loud can't hear each other talking

12/09/2025: Lovely food, great service and great value. A quiet night but that didn't bother us. Nice and relaxed 😊

24/08/2025: Always good. Friendly service. Excellent food

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!

06/01/2026: Unfortunately, this restaurant has closed permanently. It will be sadly missed by regular happy customers. See my review below: The best breakfast / lunch restaurant in Monkstown bar none. Everything on the menu is delicious it’s so hard to choose. Super service too! I’m a regular and always will be. Highly recommend an early G&T.

06/12/2025: 3 stars max because the place is cosy and the coffee is good, but I wouldn’t return there for the brunch menu…branch menu is just average and not a good value for money.

04/01/2026: Got two half dinner came in a bowl. Very small portion. Meat was non existence very disappointed 😞

15/12/2025: We had a wonderful experience hosting our Christmas party here. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. The staff were attentive throughout the evening especially Martin and Elaine made sure our whole group felt looked after. We would definitely recommend this place

09/06/2026: My husband and I stayed here for three nights in early May in a Heritage Room. We cannot say enough great things about our time here. The room was beautiful and had well thought-out design touches like hooks around the room. The location is perfect for having a lovely seaside stay or taking the DART into Dublin. The breakfast was delicious. But most of all, the staff provide exceptional levels of service and attention. We received the warmest welcome from Bianca, who helped us with questions each day. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you, Bianca!

31/05/2026: We booked The Parlour for a cocktail before dinner in Oliveto, both were superb. My friends all loved their cocktails and the decor in The Parlour is fab. Staff were excellent too. We shared 3 small plates between 5 of us in Oliveto and everyone loved them. Mains were super tasty too. Wines were lovely and desserts shared were lovely too. Our waitress was excellent as well, making sure to replace our water without being asked and topping up wine. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!
