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.

26/08/2025: Changed the menu, increased the prices. Once a great place to get normal sandwiches, not anymore sad...i had been loyal customer because of their blt's (bacon lettuce tomatoes not bell peppers and onions at leats i would have liked to be told it changed so I could ask without...)

19/05/2025: I’ve visited this café a couple of times. The atmosphere is generally nice and quiet, but unfortunately, one of the staff members (the male employee) comes across as quite unfriendly and lacking in warmth. A more welcoming and approachable attitude would really improve the customer experience. Small details like this can make a big difference. I hope this feedback is taken into consideration and leads to better service in the future. I don’t know if he’s sleepy since it’s a morning or maybe he has some problems with work… please do something about that

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

13/04/2026: From now on, this is my favorite place! I love the atmosphere, the service is very good, but the food is excellent!!! I want to come back and try more things!

12/04/2026: Very good ramen and generous portions, I recommend it!! Prices are not too high considering the area.

27/08/2025: excellent breakfast and lovely saleswoman! I recommend

21/08/2025: Small and very good fast-food restaurant. Delicious vegan burritos. Highly recommended.

01/10/2025: Very cool guys selling nice coffee. Enjoy!

22/09/2025: The Cosy Bean is a great local coffee shop. The pastries are delicious and the staff are always friendly, especially Emily.

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!

22/11/2025: Just an update in Nov 25. The food is better than ever. Just had one of the best hot and sour soups, packed with meat and prawns and deliciously spicy. The spice bag had delicious and large chicken pieces with very good chips. Breast of Chicken curry, fried rice and spare ribs all very good. Top class. Very tasty, authentic and consistent Chinese restaurant. Excellent for take away, top marks from me.

09/11/2025: delivery time needs to be set up earlier, we orderd at 4:55 as soon as they open it, all we got was chicken balls chips and 3 in 1 the food didnt arrive until 6:25, when we called at 6:05 the lady said its on the road and wont be long, we then called at 6:18, the lady once again said its on the way, lo and behold it did not arrive until 6:25. Either hire more drivers or open the times earlier

11/01/2026: Great little gem out the back entrance of a wonderfully chaotic second hand bookshop. The cakes were delicious and the staff helped create a friendly atmosphere. Note: it’s better to enter through the bookshop over the strange back alley route.

23/12/2025: A truly special, tucked-away cafe with gorgeous cakes and scones and other treats baked on site. Food portions are large, hospitality is warm and generous, and it's a peaceful spot to spend an afternoon. Abundant courtyard seating (with heaters) for the warmly dressed (my first visit was in December). Highly recommended for people who want a Dublin oasis within an easy walk of Grafton/St. Stephen's/etc. Also of note: While the cafe has been in business for a couple of decades, it changed hands this year and the new owner, Julio, was on site, very warmly welcoming, and seems to have a happy staff working for him. UPDATE: Just noting after several more visits that my first impression has only cemented into a conviction that this is a world-class cafe and people who take the time to seek it out will leave feeling like the luckiest and best-liked customers who have ever visited.

29/11/2025: Could not of had a better experience. I came in for gait analysis and new trainers. The owner was so friendly and knowledgeable, he was able to size up my feet by just looking. He recommended an excellent pair of runners which already make running feel alot more stable and comfortable along with some great general running advice. Could not recommend enough I will be back.

12/10/2025: Top class service, Ash has a wealth of experience and his advice and support has made a huge difference to my running and recovery, amazing selection of products. Recommend 100%

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

21/10/2025: Great simple breckfast by friendly staff

10/09/2025: This is a lovely, local cafe. Our first time there and not our last. An extremely good well priced menu and good food, good atmosphere and friendly and attentive staff. We will definitely be back

09/09/2025: Great place for food and drink. Always a lovely atmosphere and the staff are very friendly.

30/08/2025: Came here for a family lunch, and I simply can’t fault a single thing. From the high quality food to the fantastic service, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Although slightly on the pricier side, it is well worth the investment. The cocktails were delicious. Thank you so much to the amazing staff for such a lovely meal. Will certainly be back!

04/05/2026: Been here many of time but today was awful with the service. Seemed very disorganised after the main course they asked if we wanted dessert so we ordered and one arrived but we waited over 30 minutes on the other one which at this point we got up and headed over to pay. And it wasn't overly busy it was busier the last time we were here. If it's going to take a while then they should inform you of this when ordering but they didn't.

01/05/2026: Was there for an occasion and the food was excellent, portions where large.

03/05/2026: Why did they change the skinny chips to those wretched ahh big chips

24/04/2026: Didnt eat here but what a fantastic gem of a pub. Staff outstanding. Everyone in great form
