The best restaurants in Dublin

08/03/2026: My new local what more could you ask for.

07/02/2026: Fantastic bar with excellent table service when it's not crowded.

28/10/2025: Really great tea and coffee and cakes and deli items. Also you really have to try their basil-and-lime dressing for salads, it’s astonishing! We always get a couple of extra bottles to have at home on our salads. Delicious!

14/10/2025: I preferred the Country Bake. The cappuccinos we were served at Thyme Out were not hot and weak in strength. Chocolate chip cookies were good.

21/02/2026: Staff not smiling, talking only to each other and looking at their phones is n o t a place for me. At all. Great food, though!

22/01/2026: Disappointing experience. The server was friendly but sadly didn’t know how to make my bowl. Was constantly referencing a guide and then when I went to eat the food I saw the portion was nowhere near what it should be. Disappointing as I used to always like Chopped.

13/06/2026: Had a super fun night there, the live music was spectacular.

09/06/2026: Disgusting! I would recommend tourists and Irish people avoid at all costs! The prices of everything is an absolute disgrace! Over €10 for a pint! We paid for so called virtual darts, it cost €10 per person for 30 minutes. We thought surely it was a deposit so asked …it turns out it is not a deposit! Awful experience really and far better places to go to. Overall over priced Dublin in full swing!

02/05/2026: Down from Donegal for a midweek gig. We had been recommended Asador by a friend. My significant other is a pescetarian and loved the look of the non meat elements on the menu so we thought we'd give it a go. Firstly, we were eating early so had the place to ourselves to begin with, and how lucky we were as the staff were SO friendly. Food wise we shared 3 small plates and had a main dish each. We went Porcini orzo, Cabbage and Crab for the small plates. All incredible but the standout was the cabbage! I don't know what witchcraft they worked on it but it was as far from the vegetable of my childhood that it's possible to get. For mains we went Swordfish and Monkfish. The Swordfish was the best I've eaten and the Monkfish was shown no mercy either. We had a smoked tenderstem broccoli side which was also superb. For dessert we shared the basque cheesecake which made me wish I'd the room to eat it all myself. Then to finish we had 2 coffees which was the best coffee I've drunk in a very long time. Maybe if you read this review you can tell me what coffee you served us? We also loved the quirky prints on the wall. Thank you to all of you for making us feel so welcome. It was the perfect start to a great night. I am counting the days until I get back to try the meat! Big love!

25/04/2026: Exceptionally high standard of Barbecue. The seafood is just top drawer. Great friendly helpful service. My second time here and honestly one of my favourite restaurants.

05/04/2026: Fast delivery, Food used to be really tasty. but the last couple of times it hasn’t been great, you can tell the food is fresh but there’s no flavour to it, the likes of the curry sauce, spice bags, 3 and 4 in 1’s have little to no flavour. Food needs some work. Would be sad to see this place go down hill over very fixable issues.

05/12/2025: Always consistently good food staff very friendly 1 of the few takeaways where you can eat in also 10/10 best Chinese food in finglas

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!

26/10/2025: That Sean fella… what a guy. He saved my family from a building.

25/09/2025: Great atmosphere, lovely seaside views of Dublin Bay, and a pleasant village. The Carraig Blackrock is excellent!

05/10/2025: Had a lovely meal on Sunday. Staff are fantastic. Make sure to either book a table or get there before 1pm as it fills very quickly. That's the only quibble I would have.

01/10/2025: Great pub. Many's a pint had there.Never ask the owner for a bag of ice as its very precious to him.

06/05/2026: Best pint of Guinness in Dalkey and very attentive and friendly staff! Great trad music sessions too ... For example Wednesdays from around 9pm. Fantastic selection of instruments, tunes and musicians. Buladh bos!

04/01/2026: A lovely Pub, Staff Very efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend this pub.

06/04/2026: Nice place did enjoy our kebab but some places are cleaner and the taste is better. Especially didn't like that tables are sticky 😕 at the counter as well . But people were nice and wouldn't say anything about that.

20/03/2026: Deliciously large portions at a competitive price 👌

27/05/2026: The idea of Ruby's is nice but it doesn't quite hit the same in reality. The wings are great quality, I love that even when coated in sauce they are still crispy and you get the full wing (knuckle and flat) but the actual flavour is lacking. The bbq needs more salt and the sesame needs more... sesame. The pizzas are sadly not great. I hope I'm wrong but I suspect they are frozen pizzas just cooked in a pizza oven. Even if I'm wrong, that speaks to the actual quality of the pizza. The burgers are actually super tasty so no complaints there, the ingredients are fresh and the beef is well cooked and salted. The service is very good, the workers are accommodating and polite. The restaurant itself has a trendy but casual feel so it caters to a lot of people. Overall, it's fine restaurant but it's just fine.

27/05/2026: Went before a show. Food was lovely and quick. Was a tad warm inside however didnt damper the meal or service

25/04/2026: 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.

11/04/2026: Two available websites to order takeaway from, apparently I used the "wrong one" which isn't working anymore. I was informed this after the website took my money and only when I rang up complaining my food was late. The manager told me I can't get a refund or my food as it was my fault for using the wrong website.

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

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
