The best restaurants in Dublin

24/06/2026: Never fails for bagels, coffee and smoothies - great staff and great value!

15/05/2026: Great breakfast option, delicious juices, I ordered a bagel with eggs and bacon which was delicious, the only thing I would change is to serve it on a plate, it would be better served that way.

16/06/2026: Great stop for coffee and a light bite. Staff very friendly.

05/04/2026: I came here looking for a quick snack in the afternoon. The cafe was very nice and was clean. The staff were very friendly at this location. I had an iced chai latte, which was very good. I’ve had chai lattes, that are way too milky. I also tried this Oreo cake. It was okay. The flavor wasn’t strong and the cake was a bit dry. It was a good snack though. I would definitely come back to this location again.

17/08/2026: We have ordered here a number of times and the food has always been great but unfortunately last night was so disappointed. One of the dishes was the special curry but it was inedible. The sauce was lumpy like it had been frozen and defrosted and there was no taste from it at all it was like it was watered down. Actually threw it in the bin. Sorry but just had to let you know.

15/08/2026: We got a spice bag to take away last night. The staff were very friendly & the food was hot & came quickly. The chicken was crispy & the chips were really nice & not greasy at all. Overall really tasty with a nice kick of chilli. The only negative for us was that there was not much chicken & only one piece of pepper & a few silvers of onion,so it didn't compare to our usual take away which has lots of peppers, onions & chicken. If that was improved upon, I'd definitely choose to order from here again.

11/08/2026: I went to buy coffee as a gift and the selection is very good. The staff is very friendly. 100% recommended.

02/08/2026: Love everything about this place! Matcha: great Coffee: fantastic, black or white Staff: delightful Price: reasonable Ambiance: undecided…

04/08/2026: Great experience at Five Guys. The burgers were fresh and tasty, fries were generous, and the staff were friendly. A bit pricey, but worth it for the quality

26/07/2026: Went here about a year ago, quickly got me hooked on Five Guys. Prices may seem high compared to other fastfood, but portions are unbeatable. The fries come in such large portions, that they don't feel like a side; could be the main course. A medium feels like an extra-large. You can refill your cup with a wide range of drinks, only pay for the cup itself. This is very appealing. Took less than ten minutes to get me and my friend our food, though even if the wait was long, I truly believe the wait is worth it. Staff are quiet but kind, so no complaints there either. Would come here again!

15/08/2026: Traditional dublin bar great atmosphere with equally good guiness!!!!

01/08/2026: Dear bar owners, I visited your tavern last night and it was incredible. As a true gourmand like Karina, I received a lot of attention and I must say I was delighted. See you soon, Franchi!

28/07/2026: Loved everything about Capitol Lounge! Super relaxed atmosphere, delicious drinks, and a great crowd. What really stood out was how friendly everyone is—from the bar staff to the bouncers at the door, who are genuinely welcoming and open for a quick chat. Definitely coming back!

17/07/2026: Bouncer on door is an ignorant non irish refused me and my girlfriend for no reason at 7:30 pm , not one drink in us and when asked for reason he said he dosent have to give a reason. 5 minutes later we seen 3 girls go up and he lets them straight in not asking for id or anything, so rude wouldnt go in if i was ye absolutely disgraceful refusing irish and letting in other foreign internationals .

05/08/2026: Great service and the food was excellent, I definitely recommend it.

04/08/2026: Dined in Santry restaurant today. It was lovely. We had the Korean chicken salad it was fab. The Staff were so nice we were greeted by a very friendly man I assume Manager & then served by Rosie & George. They were so friendly & efficient thoroughly enjoyable experience & the food & atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommend a visit.

13/08/2026: It’s no longer Elephant & Castle. The menu is very limited, mostly sandwich/ burgers. I ordered a salad and didn’t like it at all. Don’t recommend

08/08/2026: It's no longer the Elephant & Castle at the Mason hotel. The chicken wings tasted much the same as before. There is a new menu. It seems very limited to the previous one. They served food on a tin plate,which cheapened the experience. The desertsl weren't great but expensive. The portion of chips were tiny, but the price wasn't. The Mason was a regular experience for me ,but not any more. Looks like I will have to go back to the Elephant and Castle in Temple Bar.

22/05/2026: Very lovely coffee shop! Amazing coffee and toasties.

22/04/2026: Amazing things to try. Especially the raspberry brownie, top. The staff is very helpful kind and warmhearted people. Be sure to visit and try a lot of foods and drinks.

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

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

27/07/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonderful First Visit to Reed on the River! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ On Sunday, 26th July, we visited Reed on the River for the very first time—and it certainly won't be our last! From the moment we walked through the door, we received such a warm welcome. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating, making us feel at home straight away. The atmosphere was relaxed, inviting, and the perfect setting for a lovely meal. 😊 There were five of us dining together, and each of us chose a different main course. Every single dish was beautifully presented, cooked to perfection, and absolutely delicious. The quality of the food exceeded our expectations, and every meal truly delivered on its promise. 🍽️👏 A heartfelt thank you to the entire team at Reed on the River for providing us with such a wonderful dining experience.

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.

01/08/2026: The cutest cafe i found when i visited Dublin! And the drinks where good too.

29/07/2026: A nice and cosy French café spot in the heart of Dublin. Had a great Eggs Benedict :)

11/07/2026: Still expensive but great service and good beer.

18/06/2026: Really lovely experience at Bottles Bank Pub in Rathgar today. My son fell just outside and a staff member immediately came out to help us, cleaned his knee and put a plaster on him. Such a kind and caring gesture in the moment — really appreciated it as my son and I felt well looked after 😊 This definitely speaks well of the people working here! In a few years (at least 13!) when my son and I go for a pint, we will definitely come by! 😉😊
