The best restaurants in Dublin

05/07/2026: It’s called Murphy’s coffee now

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

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.

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

01/07/2026: Ordered a tea, felt like I’d killed the bar staffs family member. He was so Rude. Slammed drinks in front of us and stared me out twice. Very strange. Also smelt funny and felt dirty.

29/06/2026: the food was grand and the employees were really nice and friendly 🙂‍↕️ it‘s a cozy place with (obviously) great music playing in the background

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

19/07/2026: Very good service. Friendly staff.

16/06/2026: Generally a great place to study

24/04/2026: Me my partner and daughter good here every week or so lovely people and quality ingreadents great portions and the pancakes are beautfull asweell

26/03/2026: Came here for breakfast a few times while visuting. It's a nice friendly little cafe. Very good oat milk latte, perfect poached eggs,good bacon and sausages. The mushrooms are the highlight. I don't know what they're doing but these mushrooms are fantastic. A little chewy and crispy around the edges and with a rich savory flavor. Just delicious. The black pudding is a little better than usual. It has some extra herb flavor. You can get excellent Irish brown soda bread if you ask, instead of the ordinary toast. The only things I don't recommend are the hash browns and the onion rings. They both seem like boxed frozen. The onion rings in particular are onion-flavored batter all the way through, not actual onion. Get the mushrooms instead.

10/07/2026: Staff was great, wings were delicious.

27/06/2026: Had brunch today 28/06/2026. Horrible experience, payed my bill at the counter by the waitress. Went to leave and a different employee asked had I payed the bill I said yes and had a receipt but the waitress had made a mistake and charged the wrong table. There was a discrepancy of 3 Euro on there side, but they insisted I pay again and they will refund me which I won't receive until next week. There customer service was awful

03/07/2026: I would have given this establishment a far better raring only for the fact I ordered a pinot grigio wine,and I didn't realise until I studied the bottle it was from Moldova and was only 10%. I have nothing against Moldovan wine,but it should be priced accordingly. Talk about pulling a fast one. I don't buy in to that. Very disappointing 😞 😕

29/06/2026: Best option in heuston station, could do with a bit of a makeover. Ps had carvery lunch lately, was excellent, good portions and quality.

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.

23/10/2025: Nice place to drink good cocktails, the music is loud so talk is hard

12/10/2025: Didn’t get a chance to try food but the cocktails were very yummy. The atmosphere was really good vibes. Walked in and somber was playing, ones of my favourite singers. The music is kinda loud but not too loud that you can’t talk. Good deals on cocktails 2 for 15 is good especially for actually good cocktails!! Had my birthday drinks here :)

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!
