The best restaurants in Dublin

05/07/2026: This happened 3rd time, orignal chicken in drive tru is always burnt. This not acceptable, this was not even almost closing time still had 1 hour to closing. I gave again 2 chances, bought very expensive party pack. Fries are literally cold not even room temperature. 10 piece chicken all are burnt. This is not acceptable, very dissatisfied.

28/06/2026: Unreal value! Delicious and piping hot! Would recommend to everyone

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

06/07/2026: I had the pulled pork toastie today and it was incredible! This place is a little gem, I wished I lived closer to it!

29/06/2026: My pizza cravings was satisfied, nice place and firendly staff.

02/07/2026: This is a great place for a coffee and some food. Really enjoyed my visit there Monday. Staff were very attentive even though I was sat outside they didn't forget us was a lovely experience.

02/07/2026: Great café. Food is always good as is the service. Prices are modern day prices

09/05/2026: Very nice food at very affordable prices. The staff were very friendly and polite. I ordered shrimp gra pao (probably wrong spelling). It was delicious, spicy and went down great with a beer! I can't see it on the menu photos so it must be a newer addition, but definitely recommended!

28/04/2026: The food and drinks were excellent, but the wine list was hidden and needed to be requested separately from the server.

07/04/2026: Me and my family enjoyed the food. Huge servings and very authentic tastes. Staffs are friendly and very accommodating especially Princely(staff) who assisted us on choosing our food. Will highly recommend this to everyone who loves eating or to try Indian cuisine.

20/03/2026: Very disappointed to write this , but what an appalling service. If I could, I'd give negative rating to this place. I wrote to them particularly while booking that we were two people with and a buggy before making my reservation and they accepted it. On reaching, they had very less accomodations for a buggy and here's the sad part- they did not even try to accommodate us, clearly wanted us to leave because they couldn't fit the buggy. We asked them twice even thrice if they could fit it- but they clearly said , "no, then we are sorry" There were a few Irish people sitting and they were obviously expecting more of them on a Friday evening, looking for more profit, which is clearly understood by this behavior. If they didn't have enough space they should have clearly told me before accepting the reservation or just by call. Even if they genuinely couldn't fit it- at least show that kind of behavior. Customers aren't dumb to not understand your motive. Absolutely pathetic experience and very pathetic on the restaurant's part. We had to leave. I'll never recommend this place to anyone and make sure none of my acquaintances visit here.

02/04/2026: Fantastic food nicest Thai food by far in Dublin

15/02/2026: It's one of our favourite takeaways..

04/07/2026: This is a review of 2 separate visits, 6 years apart. In 2020, Alfie's served creme brulee. It is still the absolute best I ever had. It somehow had like a 1 inch sugar crust but the rest of the custard was still creamy and smooth and cool. As for the rest, food is above average, drinks are good and well priced, and the vibe is very chill. Even 6 years apart, aside from no more creme brulee, Alfie's is still a hit with my wife and myself.

01/07/2026: We came to dinner the fajitas were good, but the waiters could be more attentive. We had to ask for napkins two or three times.

03/07/2026: It was 9 euro for a small box of chips and a bottle of water. Diner vibe was cool but it looked grimy. Service was very quick, probably because it had just been nuked in the microwave. It definitely tasted like it, the chips were like something out of a burger van. Mealy and unpleasant, not to mention a complete rip off. I wouldn’t have ate as much of them as I did if I wasn’t so hungry, and even then I binned half of them. An insult to potatoes.

22/06/2026: If you are looking for a proper, nostalgic American diner experience in Dublin, this branch of Eddie Rocket’s at Point Square is an absolute must-visit. The moment you step inside, you are hit with a fantastic, authentic diner vibe—from the retro booths to the classic decor. It feels incredibly genuine, and because it’s located in a quieter mall, you can actually sit back and enjoy the atmosphere without the usual city center chaos. The food here is outstanding and exactly what you’d expect from a real diner. The burgers have that authentic, juicy American flavor profile that completely blows standard fast-food chains like McDonald's or Burger King out of the water. It’s on a completely different level of quality. I tried the bacon burger, and it was cooked to perfection—rich, savory, and highly satisfying. To top it off, their milkshakes are incredibly delicious, thick, and creamy. It’s the perfect companion to a hearty burger. The menu offers a great variety of comfort food, so there’s something for everyone. On top of the great food, the pricing is very reasonable for the quality and portions you get. The staff here are wonderful—friendly, attentive, and quick with the service. Another massive plus that deserves a mention is that the bathrooms are spotlessly clean, which really shows the management's commitment to high hygiene standards. Whether you're grabbing a bite before a movie at the Odeon next door or just craving a proper American meal in peace, this Eddie Rocket’s delivers on all fronts. A solid 5 stars

20/10/2025: Glad to see it open again after a very quick patch up (paint on outdoor tables still sticky as they didn't seal it) and not much changed inside, but food not up to the mark (tasteless salad, which was kindly replaced and Cuban sandwich in name only). Would definitely go back for a pint outside, but still feels outdated on the inside. Much better friendly service than under last owner. Updated review (October 25): Thanks for your response below! We went back and new menu is great. Best lobster roll I ever had!

18/10/2025: I cannot fault the Queens bar. It's lovely

12/02/2026: Absolutely the best Indian TAKEAWAY Fresh ingredients. Perfect flavour. True Indian and also great for butter chicken lovers like me . Tried and tested over 5 years. The portions of popadoms are huge and come with dips. It’s the same price as anywhere but the quality across the menu is superb. I’ve travelled a long way home for this treat!! The food is SO DESERVING of the 5 stars!!! Also the delivery chap is always very friendly and quick. Food piping hot .

10/02/2026: Great food and excellent service. I tried the lamb biryani and it was amazing, and their naan breads are absolutely outstanding. Very nice.

03/07/2026: Was recommended the irishtown by a taxidriver after the first metallica/pantera gig and was pleased with the suggestion. Was class craic.

23/05/2026: Cool local bar with a great local atmosphere. Sometimes it felt a bit too local but all in all it was a great place and good beer.

11/07/2026: Great for vegetarians , clean , healthy and tasty food

24/05/2026: Excellent poke, right in the city center. Very friendly service, pleasant atmosphere with some very welcoming French pop music. Highly recommended as a poke fan!

29/04/2026: THE BEST! Booked due to the great reviews and suggestions, and wow - expectations were exceeded! Sharing platter for 2 was amazing, every meat was delicious and juicy. Sides were lovely too. Can’t thank the lovely server and kitchen staff for my partners birthday dessert - and the happy birthday song! Will return on our next visit for sure 🩷

27/04/2026: After visiting here i firmly believe those positive reviews are by those who have consumed copious amounts of alcohol so there observations and senses are greatly compromised. I visited Bison Bar recently, booking it purely because I had received a Press Up / Eclective voucher and saw it listed on their website. Having had consistently great experiences at other venues within that group, I trusted that this would be of a similar standard. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. On arrival, we were warmly welcomed by a staff member who was friendly, cheerful, and professional, which created a very positive first impression. However, the service that followed contrasted sharply with this. A different server, with short brown hair, took our order and approached the table with a blunt “What can I get you?” as her opening line, without any greeting. As it was our first time visiting, we had a few reasonable questions about portion sizes and menu options. Her responses were curt and dismissive, and she appeared visibly inconvenienced that she had to answer questions rather than simply take an order and move on. During the meal, I also observed behaviour that I found particularly unprofessional. After serving a nearby table, she removed an empty glass and, as she turned away and walked past us, I clearly saw her roll her eyes in apparent frustration at the customer’s request for another drink. It reinforced the impression that customers were being treated as a nuisance rather than being welcomed. Not long after, her demeanour shifted noticeably, becoming overly upbeat and chatty with other tables. This made me feel that she may have overheard me discussing her behaviour with my partner, or realised that I had seen what she had done. The food was the most disappointing aspect. The tacos were dry, with shells that seemed stale and cracked, and the fillings were lacking in quality. The meat dishes were heavily covered in overly sweet barbecue sauce, which felt like it was masking poor-quality ingredients. Even the sides, including the coleslaw, were unpalatable. We didn’t finish our meal and chose to leave despite still being hungry. Overall, this experience fell far below expectations, particularly given its association with a group known for higher standards. It’s not somewhere I would have chosen independently, and unfortunately it hasn’t lived up to the reputation that led us there in the first place.

09/08/2025: Lovely coffee and friendly service.

07/07/2025: Great team here. Always great service and great food .
