The best restaurants in Dublin

09/10/2025: Great Private Gated Apartment Community. Very quite & very well cared for. Ideal location, close to all public transportation.

22/04/2025: Ashling Hotel was a very reliable place for good traditional food. Not anymore. Had a meal there on Easter Saturday. The food was pretty mediocre. A pretty poor attempt at nouvelle cuisine. It would be better if the chef stuck with traditional menus.

02/04/2025: Food was great, staff really friendly, a few really nice wines in the wine list 👌 big ups to Gonzalo and Emma

03/08/2025: I recommend this service! the coffee was amazing

03/08/2025: This place has unique atmosphere. You can always feel where people work with passion. Smile and friendly all the time. And the iced drinks... OMG you have to try them all 😍💙

25/11/2025: Great place to enjoy the live gig!!

20/11/2025: Terrible experience a few weeks ago, staff were disgustingly rude and treated all the customers that came in with such disrespect. I watched someone borderline scream at a customer at the cloakroom which is just unacceptable.

12/10/2025: Disgusted! It is unacceptable for anyone to treat a customer in such a rude manner!

12/10/2025: The manager of the pub (at least that’s what he said he was) became quite aggressive and even tried to start a fight with me. It was around 7:00 PM, and I was not drunk, first beer of the day. He seemed to think that my friend and I were laughing at someone who had fallen, but we were actually laughing about something completely unrelated. Honestly, I understand that he might have been frustrated or stressed — and I wish him all the best — but I hope he learns to calm down. His behaviour felt dangerous for customers, and I have to admit I was scared.

02/11/2025: Food was pretty decent and a pretty reasonable price. My sandwich only had a single slice of bacon in it but was delicious nonetheless. Newt was over the moon with his beef sandwich and we both enjoyed the pastel de nata, newt was very happy to have a vegan option and I enjoyed my raspberry one. I think my iced chai came from a powder but then I can’t expect a Portuguese cafe to be the experts in chai can I?

31/10/2025: Good not great. I got a chai, the chorizo and cheese sandwich and a chocolate pastel de nata all for €16. Not bad for the price. However the sandwich size was small and could’ve been filled with more chorizo, and the chai was much too milky. The pastel de nata was good! I liked the chocolate touch. The sides were a wee bit burnt, but that’s okay, it was nothing major. Atmosphere was cute and nice for a quick lil solo coffee date, glad I went, but would probably only go back for a pastry

09/12/2025: Wonderful! My phone battery was dead and they helped me, they saved me actually, because it's difficult for a Brazilian without a cell phone here at the beginning. Thank you so much. The chicken and cheese sandwich was delicious ❤️

10/11/2025: Insomnia is one of Ireland’s most recognisable coffee chains, and for good reason. Whether you’re in Dublin, Cork, or Galway, you’ll likely find one nearby serving consistently good coffee and a friendly atmosphere. Their espresso-based drinks—especially flat whites and cappuccinos—are smooth, rich, and well-balanced, often matching or surpassing what you’d get from smaller independents. The hot chocolate and seasonal drinks (like the winter spiced latte) are a treat, especially on chilly Irish days.

10/01/2026: Loved the Irish Breakfast and the service.

13/12/2025: This is the best best breakfast I've had in Dublin so far perfectly cooked great service and atmosphere will come again!

07/01/2026: Good and great service, they always manage to deliver a nice experience

31/12/2025: Love love the soft shell crab tacos!

24/12/2025: The staff that working in are noisy, feel like you are in Turkish bazaar, better on takeaway than sitting in

05/11/2025: The newly refurbished Costa is very nice. Staff are great too. Its now also a Drive-Thru. Can be a tad chilly inside, possibly due to the drive thru open Hatch.

08/02/2026: 5 quid for 4 fries, a little absurd, other plates of food are grand but the fries just let it down so far. A lil stingy

07/02/2026: Food was absolutely incredible, service fast and efficient.

22/10/2025: Bought cake from here and the quality was excellent. It was very tasty and fresh. They were so quick to get it ready as well.

06/10/2025: 5 stars. We ordered an ube cake for my son’s first birthday on very short notice, and they absolutely delivered! The cake was soft, moist, and so delicious everyone loved it. Thank you for making his special day even sweeter!

16/12/2025: Great establishment for fresh morning breakfast and afternoon lunch.

19/07/2025: Friendly, helpful staff and always good food. Recommended

08/01/2026: Excellent bar with a NYC dive bar vibe

20/12/2025: Pub with Vinyl DJ and good atmosphere, HOWEVER..... to my surprise when I went into the toilets there was a lot of BLACK MOULD..... See Photos
