The best restaurants in Dublin

18/12/2025: Were there on a Sunday night. Guy behind the bar was very pushy for us to order two wing deals when we only wanted one to start with. We overheard him instruct the kitchen staff to make our buffalo wing portion extra, extra spicy, and that we had asked for that - we hadn't - and called us names to the kitchen staff that I won't repeat here. He clearly didn't realise we could hear him, he did seem a bit drunk. I regularly eat very hot sauces with Carolina Reaper or ghost chilli, but the portion we got was extremely hot and borderline inedible. Not blaming the kitchen staff at all, they seemed like they didn't want to make the dish so spicy, but the bar man pushed them to do it. When we asked him if he had ordered them extra hot for us he made up some BS story about other customers complaining that they used to be too mild, and that's why they are now hotter, etc. Very disrespectful and hostile way to treat your customers. None of us will ever be back.

30/11/2025: Lovely vibe! Not much of loud music soo if you want to get together with friends and have conversations over a pint, definitely the place!

05/03/2026: Delicious and quickly prepared burgers in the center of Dublin. The price is a bit high, but they taste great! You have to go into a pub and down some stairs to reach the burger joint.

01/03/2026: Very good! Both the fries and the burger.

21/02/2026: Nando’s is always a good choice. I usually get the boneless platter with rice and chips, and it’s always tasty. Simple, fresh, and satisfying. A great spot for an easy, reliable meal.

19/02/2026: Service was great, gelbi (spelling that wrong defo) was lovely 👍🏻

06/03/2026: Morning tea in terrace restaurant. Very nice.

03/03/2026: Great quality products and gifts

30/08/2025: Great beers, horse racing on TV and good locals, beautiful and quaint

14/08/2025: Nice and old school pub with stale air atmosphere and super friendly locals. A pint is 6.70 that is on par to the nearby pubs

04/08/2025: Cleaver East has been my friend groups go to place for all of our birthdays for the past 7 years. The bottomless brunch is incredible, quick service, great cocktails and great food. Decestated that it's closing due to the hotel renovations but hopefully it opens back up and we can continue to go forever more!

03/08/2025: Our favourite restaurant in Dublin. So sad to it close. We eat again here on Sunday 3 august closing nite and had another amazing meal. Good luck to all your wonderful staff ,, it’s been a lovely 12 years of dining here. From max & Harry

14/03/2026: We were lucky to get a table for 3 on a busy Sat night. The burgers were tasty & nicely presented. The vegetarian penne was delicious with lots of chunky veg. Service was professional and friendly. We'll be back.

27/02/2026: Lovely again. Joshua really looked after our table. Gentleman.

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.

27/01/2026: Picked up some bao buns and bubble team while I was walking by. The honeydew bubble tea was DELICIOUS - absolute 10/10. The bao buns were good and we got a great deal on them. Perfect for a little pick me up and then we had some leftovers we were able to have later that night! Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for some comfort food in the Temple Bar area.

07/01/2026: I ordered the buns and was incredible amazing!!! And the girl there is really kind

01/01/2026: The staff was very polite especially the girl who made reservation for us. Loved the mango lassi. Butter chicken was not as good and the quantity was meagre. Sev puri felt dry. Overall ambience is fine but confined but it works.

31/12/2025: Wonderful food, vegetarian is great. So tasty and hearty. The cheese dosa was amazing as well as the chana masala and paneer were delicious. Great service from Namrata. Fully recommend.

18/01/2026: Food was lovely and hot. There was a lot of variety on the menu. Very friendly service. Down side the place was freezing so we didn't stay for desert or coffee.

07/12/2025: Worst food ive had in Dublin and im a Dub. The steak in the beef and Guinness stew was totally inedible lumps of rubber and this cost €20, thats unacceptable really. The gujons consisted of 4 pieces of hard chicken and few dry chips. It was very disappointing because we were enjoying the pub until then. I told the server and he just said "sorry about that." We left hungry broke and rather angry

05/12/2025: Great service, great pints but the Steak & Guinness Pie was very disapointing. Beef so tough

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!

18/02/2026: Good food and very friendly staff. Kathy

24/01/2026: Nice food, little veg (even though explicitly stated on the menu). The chips could have been fried slightly longer. Portion size is decent, but men will probably need to order a side with it. Atmosphere is good, sports were visible from all booths. Service was friendly. Good traditional pub.

21/03/2026: The fish and chips were an absolute disappointment. I couldn't even finish the meal. The fish was dripping with grease and the batter was still raw and doughy inside. I could have gotten a solid plate of fish and chips elsewhere for 19€. Lesson learned: do not order fish and chips in cafes.

21/03/2026: Breakfast at a more or less reasonable price right in the city center… the food quality isn't bad, the execution is a bit lacking, but overall it's good
