The best restaurants in Dublin

16/10/2025: Gluten free options are pre packaged. The macaroons are delicious. The coffee is phenomenal! Best soy caramel macchiato

29/06/2025: Great customer service from Caitriona on morning of Sat 28th June - thank you!

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.

22/03/2026: A good Italian restaurant. The first courses are well-made, the pasta cooked al dente, and the sauces aren't too spicy. The restaurant is spacious and the staff are friendly. Recommended.

22/03/2026: Missing the authenticity. Food was ok, service not too good. Neither service nor cooks are Italian at least did not even greet in Italian. Wines were sold out and they tried to sell us the most expensive. Upon claiming that they somehow „found“ another bottle of the requested. It was also very bright illuminated and not very cozy. Not what we are used to by an Italian restaurant.

14/03/2026: Just had a visit at Blanchardstown Nando's, the food and atmosphere was excellent!! Shout out to Ames for the amazing service, thank you!

11/03/2026: Nice tasty food!!! Nando’s is a popular restaurant chain that’s known for its Portuguese-style flame-grilled chicken, especially its peri-peri sauce.

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!

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.

22/03/2026: We had a great time at The Woollen Mill and overall it was a really enjoyable experience. The food was excellent, everything we ordered was very tasty and well prepared, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. The staff were friendly and the whole place had a really nice buzz about it. The only downside was that the table we were sitting at wasn’t very comfortable. Also, we wouldn’t really recommend sitting outside unless the weather is unusually good! Ireland is just too cold most of the time to properly enjoy outdoor seating. Also would expect Guinness to be served. But overall, we had a great experience, really enjoyed the food, and would definitely come back.

22/03/2026: This place was recommended to us by chat gpt as great local Irish food. Their website looks attractive with modern balanced dishes. We had a lunch there on Sunday, very limited menu with mostly unhealthy options. Little vegetables, I asked for a plane leaf salad with tomatoes for kids which they didn’t have and couldn’t make… white sweetened buns for burgers with fries, and vegetable nachos for me. I couldn’t eat nachos as they were all stocked together. Attaching the picture. Not coming back for sure

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

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

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!

14/01/2026: Very welcoming place, highly recommended

02/12/2025: Vibrant food market with a welcoming, communal atmosphere. It’s lively yet not chaotic, allowing visitors to explore comfortably. The variety of food stalls, casual seating and upbeat energy make it a perfect spot for quick bites or a relaxed afternoon of tasting and wandering.

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

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 .

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.
