The best restaurants in Dublin

19/09/2026: I’ve been coming here for a year I always go when the baby is asleep and all the staff treat me well, except for one Indian woman who always gives me dirty looks or leaves me talking to myself. Twice, when I asked her to speak slowly because I didn't understand what she was saying, she was extremely rude; yet she smiles at other customers—it seems like she picks and chooses whom she treats well.

18/09/2026: Sockets do not function. Overpriced.

06/11/2026: Lovely food and good atmosphere.

04/11/2026: Its a great spot, for busy nights as well as cosy nights. Great staff and food is excellent..

15/10/2026: Got a serving of chips as a snack the other day. Wasn’t expecting much beyond a nice afternoon snack but wow they were exceptional? Freshly cooked and delicious seaweed/salted flavour. A happenstance delight!

12/10/2026: The food is delicious and they use vegetable oil to fry the fish.

26/08/2026: Nice enough coffee shop to go into if you’re about for a walk in the park. Staff are all jolly and do cooperate when asking for “specific orders”. Great place, do recommend.

15/07/2026: Excellent spot to grab a great coffee and a tasty treat. The staff are always friendly, and it's a lovely place to sit outside in the sunshine and enjoy a coffee. Highly recommend!

06/11/2026: Orchid D4 is the best Chinese restaurant in Ireland. Not only is the food some of the greatest on this planet, but the staff go out of their way to make your experience as enjoyable as possible too. I couldn’t recommend this fine establishment enough, and it’s first on my list for anyone visiting Dublin!

19/10/2026: Our visit to the Orchid and it was truly outstanding . Service was faultless and the food superb .A league of their own

07/07/2026: Great boozer. With friendly staff and regulars

08/06/2026: We loved the atmosphere, go for it!!!

22/10/2026: Excellent food and Atmosphere. Always very enjoyable with attentive Staff..

21/09/2026: Absolutely delicious Sunday meal! Started with generous portion of pea risotto, then chicken schnitzel, and pavlova for dessert. Every dish was perfect, and the service even more perfect! I was so well looked after by Matthew, Jamie, and Elaine. I will definitely be back!

16/09/2026: Ordered on deliveroo and order was accepted. Waited an hour and a half before deliveroo refunded the order. I wake at 6am for work so I missed out on sleep and went to be hungry because these were only interested in accepting my money and not fulfilling the contract . A disgrace and no possible way to communicate with the restaurant either by the number mentioned or through deliveroo

03/09/2026: The food its horrible dirt i cand

13/07/2026: Nice walkable area but bathroom was moldy and the electricity didn't work well to the point we had to switch rooms. The cafe and restaurant appeared very fancy but we did not eat there

06/07/2026: Great service. The bar is amazing and they serve food until 22:30. The managers are the best, Malica, Stefano and Mere, the servers were great, Julia, Fernanda, Erwin and Carlos

11/07/2026: The friendliest and most accomodating staff, genuinely so so kind. The ladies who served us, Vera and a lady with dark red hair whose name I didn’t get, were amazing. Cannot recommend this place enough.

10/05/2026: Fastatic coffee every time. Good croissants very fresh. Plenty of space to relax and even do some work. Still great and quiter and less busy that others closer to Dublin center. Still great

12/10/2026: Delicious homemade food, the staff are very friendly and the food is amazing. Whenever I go to Dublin for work, we work at A Place in the Sun and we come to this restaurant. I recommend it 100%.

09/10/2026: Good atmosphere, friendly staff and a great spot for a few drinks or food. Would definitely recommend!

24/10/2026: Good coffee and very good bakeries!

23/09/2026: Nice compact coffee shop with excellent coffee and buns and cakes. Highly recommended.

30/05/2026: Still sitting at the table, writing this review with a big smile on my face, the service was wonderful from beginning to end. The food? Oh my god, the food! My friend loved the ramen. And I loved my dumplings and my takoyaki. Delicious, rich in detail, a thousand out of ten! Millions! Trillions! 10/10

29/05/2026: I ordered takoyaki and their chicken gyoza.the takoyaki texture was abysmal, the octopus was extremely chewy and I couldn’t finish the box. The chicken gyoza on the other hand was quite nice with a crunchy exterior.

28/09/2026: Got ignored on the patio so went inside after a wait and learned the taps weren’t working. Maybe try again someday.

25/09/2026: I had lunch outside the Queens in Dalkey on Sunday 20th with 3 friends! While sitting in the sun in the front courtyard was lovely sadly the food & service didn't match the atmosphere! Two of our main courses arrived without the other 2 meals which meant I was almost finished mine before the other plates arrived! I had the roast pork special which was very average to say the least, very thin slivers of pork which were far too salty for my taste & according to my fellow diners my meal was the best out of the four as we all had something different! I have been to their sister restaurant the Eagle in Glasthule many times and the food is always superb along with the service! Could do a lot better Queens of Dalkey!!

26/09/2026: Had a nice breakfast and coffee here last sunday.

16/09/2026: Lovely food & staff very helpful
