The best restaurants in Dublin

01/08/2026: Great ambience, incredibly friendly staff and great food. They were lovely and welcoming to our toddler. Highly recommend this place.

01/08/2026: This is one of the few places where, over the years, they have not taken advantage of their fame and popularity, by screwing their patrons. They still have really tasty good food at reasonable prices. The drinks are not overpriced and we just happened to be blessed by the beautiful weather where we sat out, thoroughly enjoyed it, and would thoroughly recommend it.

14/07/2026: A nice place with ok food. I have been there twice and neither of those the times I was impressed by the food I had. This last time my pancakes were quite chewy and not particularly tasty.

03/07/2026: Such a lovely little cafe. Gotta come back for the delicious shakshuka which brings a taste of home. The avocado toast was good as well, and loved their chai and matcha latte. Staff is lovely 😍

25/06/2026: I love the sense of feeling the past and history of this hotel and also the fact that it is situated in the heart of the city. If you like traveling on foot, this hotel is for you as everything is just a walk away. The staff were very nice and accommodating, too. I booked this hotel via Expedia because of its location and because of the fact that it was listed as “shuttle to the airport included”. But unfortunately for me, that information was incorrect. Story short, instead of saving on shuttle to airport, €40 more added on top of the hotel stay. But hey, did that dampen the Dublin experience?! Not really. It would’ve been nice if Shane (front desk) offered me a complimentary breakfast as a cherry on top for that hiccup though. It would’ve been nice. (Smiling) Anyways, please be advised that the walls in this older buildings are thin, so if you’re a light sleeper, might want to consider using earplugs and/or a silent love-making. All in all, still a great place to stay if you’re looking for a great location and if they little things don’t really bother you. Thank you staff!

31/03/2026: I booked this place for 2 nights as a last minute change in plans. Check in was easy. Staff were very nice. location is perfect. The bar/restaurant is great. Room was nice cozy and not noisy. Would stay again.

08/11/2025: Never been to Dalkey before. Great place. Make sure you try it.

29/09/2025: A friendly coffee shop with good light food options. A very popular spot in Dalkey, great outdoor seating.

25/06/2026: Great pub with great service, plus the pizza place connected does one fo the best Pizzas in Dublin. The staff are always friendly and look after you well especially Linda and Ana who are just fantastic

30/04/2026: Just left the bar with my wife and my kids. A true Irish pub, nice beer, nice pizza a cheaper than the city center. One day we if we are back there, we are going without hesitation in this pub.

08/06/2026: Just to be clear, this is a nightclub with a hotel side hustle. We were greeted by a bouncer that asked us if we were “in the right area?”The entrance is in the nightclub vestibule, so we naturally looked out of place. After we clarified that we were staying at the hotel, he let us in. We then proceeded to be told by the Manager that our reservation did not exist, and that we could not be staying at the hotel because the entire hotel was closed due to renovations. I proceeded to show the manager our booking, confirmation, and our prepaid €800 bill. After this irrefutable evidence that we had booked a room months in advance, he then randomly “found” a room for us and let us through. Upon settling in our rooms we realized that there were no renovations at all, as well as other guests at the hotel. Our friends waited hours for extra sheets, neither of our rooms had coffee pods for the coffee machines in the room, and ours had a used pod in the machine. Coming back a day later from being out and about in Dublin our room keys no longer worked. The manager lied directly to our faces, for that sole reason I would not stay here under any circumstance.

15/05/2026: Went for a proper Irish breakfast and it dud not disappoint. Great atmosphere for a quiet coffee too.

02/05/2026: Excellent location. Friendly staff. Room was lovely, tidy and clean. Great value for money. Breakfast was served to your table refreshly made, tasted really nice. Would definitely stay again.

22/04/2026: Very pleasant experience comfortable bed and room friendly staff very good breakfast and great location highly recommended

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.

01/06/2026: Again another old style bar out side tables main feature, reasonable food menu, staff always available

28/05/2026: The most expensive bang average Guinness ive had in Dublin

10/07/2026: Burgers are as they are everywhere. Very good cooked very well. Fries are great. This is the first five guys I’ve been to (only been to ~5) that had no peanuts. Disappointing as it is considered a trademark. Atmosphere is the biggest downside, noisy, not very clean, smells funny.

05/07/2026: The burger was okay, my sauce was forgotten, the fries were well-seasoned. Everything was thrown into a bag, even though I wanted to eat in.

31/07/2026: Excellent sandwiches. Recommended.

22/07/2026: The place is nice, the burgers are very good, the portions of fries are very generous, and the meal was prepared quickly.

20/06/2026: 35 minutes for 2 bags of chips is jaw dropping, in the worst possible way. I might come back if a bomb hits Dublin and this chipper is the only source of food, but let's hope it doesn't come to that. The food wasn't worth waiting for either.

10/06/2026: All cooked fresh, you can't do better than that. Top chips and curry sauce.

15/12/2025: We had a breakfast here for two days (Saturday and Sunday). Both days we really enjoyed the view. What surprised me is that both days I ordered the same, but I liked the sandwich as well as the hot chocolate more the first day. The second day I was a bit disappointed, it wasn’t the same. Even though, really nice staff and a lovely place to enjoy your meal. Santa sandwich for 9€ and hot chocolate for 4€.

10/12/2025: It's delicious, I was there for breakfast, there were not many visitors, but it's very atmospheric and cozy.

05/06/2026: Discovered quite by chance, friendly staff and delicious food Free seating (photo) 😂

13/04/2026: Highly recommend this place ! The teacup was warm when I ordered tea, and I really appreciated that thoughtful touch.👍 I ordered an irish tea with breakfast. They are really friendly, I want to visit again once I come back to Dublin !!

10/06/2026: The Bakery is a nice place in the neighborhood. I had a loaf of bread, two cakes, and a dirty chai latte to drink. I forgot the names of the cakes, but they were both really good. The staff were amazing — young, friendly, and welcoming. The place itself is lovely, very colorful, and full of good things to choose from. The dirty chai latte tasted great. What I really loved was that they made it with a tea bag, and they asked me if I wanted a single or double shot of espresso. They also added cinnamon, which is something not everyone does. I loved it. The chai was creamy, flavorful, and well balanced. The bread was also very good — soft, big, fairly priced, and great quality. Both cakes were tasty, sweet but not too sweet, and you could feel that they were made with love. It was a really nice experience, and I am happy I found this place. Give them a try. They are amazing

23/05/2026: The staff is always so kind and friendly. The hot chocolate from here is by far the best. The cakes are amazing. The coffee is always still hot after awhile. The atmosphere is so welcoming. Highly recommend here to anyone.
