The best restaurants in Dublin

21/03/2025: Very average. Small portions, wings had no more than a mini bite of chicken and the dirty fries were small portion also Lovely staff, quick turn over of food which is handy for concerts. Probably won't return.

19/03/2025: Very nice food- feel very full after

31/03/2025: v yummy coffee but too many affluent posh people to feel at ease

16/02/2025: Parlour is a great spot for a relaxing break. The ambiance is just right, with a pleasant atmosphere and enjoyable background playlist. The selection of pastries is excellent, offering a wide array of tempting treats. I enjoyed a delicious pastel de nata and an iced latte. The staff were very friendly and provided great service. We noticed many families with children, which contributed to the cafe's welcoming atmosphere. Overall, we had a very pleasant time at this cafe and we have returned many many times. One of the best ones in blackrock

30/03/2025: 2nd year enjoying Mother’s Day afternoon tea today and thoroughly enjoyed every bite! Highly recommend Skinny Batch - never disappoints. Always a treat any day of the week. Personal touches and brilliant service x

29/03/2025: You could feel the great atmosphere when you step into this place. Food was delicious and reasonably priced . Very fast service and courteous staff. Would highly recommend the breakfast

21/12/2024: Favourite spot for Pizza nights. Always the best quality. The place is clean and the owner is very friendly. Highly recommend.

03/11/2024: The last two times I’ve ordered from here I’ve had issues with my order. The first time my food arrived 1 hour and 45 mins after I had ordered it, and by time I got it, it was cold and the pizza was half crushed (obviously was not handled properly by driver). The second time, my order arrived on time, but this time they forgot three items that I had ordered. It’s a shame that every time I seem to get takeaway, there is an issue with my order, because the food is actually quite tasty.

06/04/2025: Nice atmosphere beside lake Was busy (weekend) , however service was perfect

30/03/2025: 20 mins wait to be served, grossly inefficient management of queue and coffee orders. Berry scone was absolutely fabulous as was the chocolate brownie. The rest of the food also looked divine. Plenty of staff but when I asked if milk was on the table, the guy said no that they were closing in 20 mins. Could they not clear the tables after closing?

30/10/2024: If this restaurant refines just one dish, the “Tandoori Chicken” then the rest of Dublin’s Indian establishments might well close their doors, as this is the only spot truly serving authentic South Asian flavours. Unlike others, they haven’t compromised/diluted their dishes to cater to a universal palate. A standout is their “Laal Maans” which boldly showcases the richness of traditional spices. It’s no surprise that the restaurant consistently earns five-star reviews. Having ordered from here for over two years, I’ve yet to be disappointed. This restaurant offers a genuine taste of home away from home. - Thank you 🙏🏽

23/03/2025: Quaint two part shop with a restaurant on one side and a bakery on the other. They seem to cater primarily to Filipino's as one might expect. There was one lady in the back that could speak English. I have friends in the Philippines and have always wanted to try Filipino food, so here was my chance to do so. I ordered the Bistek Tagalog, I was asked if I wanted rice and beans, I said yes and all I got was rice. I may have misunderstood and maybe it was a choice between rice -or- beans. None the less, with as much rice as was there, I barely was able to finish the meal, so beans were definitely not necessary. I am not sure if one would eat the rice separately or not, I ended up mashing the rice down and covering it with the steak and onions so the rice would soak up the sauce. It was delicious. As a plus, they were playing 1980s power ballads, which seemed really out of place, but it was a nice background.

02/03/2025: If you miss Filipino food. Go visit this restaurant.

13/03/2025: Gorgeous meal, staff were so helpful and kind! Will definitely go again.

08/03/2025: Went with the Mini Breakfast and it was the perfect amount for the meal. Lovely atmosphere and the food was delicious. Would recommend.

15/03/2025: Kebab not great very meat very fatty flavour wasn't great neither. Very greasy. Value for money no 27 euro for 2 kebab's. Won't be back. Same flavour overpowering everything . Avoid

08/03/2025: Pretty nice food, service excellent, felt a bit pricey for takeaway

03/03/2025: Tuvo un asado de domingo único, que estuvo lleno de aperitivos inspirados en el chef y un plato principal. Buena cocina.

24/02/2025: Cenamos en el Seafood Café en una fría noche de febrero, cuando llegamos el lugar estaba excepcionalmente bien vestido. Hay un ambiente muy guay aquí pero también muy acogedor, buena música para acomodarse mientras tomamos nuestras bebidas. Los tres chicos de esa noche fueron geniales, puedes ver claramente que les encanta lo que hacen. Empezamos con las ostras, yo tenía la solla sobre carbón. . . . . recomiendo encarecidamente! Mi esposa tuvo la caballa con ensalada y rábano picante de nuevo muy bueno. Si estás en Dublín y te apetece un poco de marisco en un ambiente ecléctico, muy fresco pero cómodo, entonces cena aquí. No te arrepentirás.

15/03/2025: I really wanted to like this place. But the food? Oh boy… Let’s talk about the mushrooms—if I didn’t know better, I’d think they were harvested straight from a cursed swamp. Slimy, flavorless, and somehow both undercooked and overcooked at the same time. Absolutely revolting. Then there was the tomato. I don’t know what they did to it, but I’m pretty sure I could have thrown it against the wall, and it wouldn’t have even dented. It had the texture of a golf ball! Tried to complain to the manager, who was very interested—just not in fixing the problem. Instead, they nodded enthusiastically like I was giving them a TED Talk on bad food and then just walked away. So unprofessional. Plates were piling up on tables around us, untouched food everywhere, and people were literally walking out mid-meal. It was like watching a slow-motion restaurant apocalypse. Felt sick rest of the day….. I can’t un-eat those mushrooms, I can’t forgive that tomato and I definitely can’t forget the rudest manager on earth

11/03/2025: Nice place with kind of 2 bars. On the first floor you can find live music (Irish music of course). On the second floor wich is downstairs not upstairs, is just regular music, drinks and tables. You can ask for pints, they have nice coktails, however I consider the service could’ve been better.

15/02/2025: Cracking little neighbourhood deli. High quality food all made on site with excellent service.

14/02/2025: Best sausage rolls, salads & sandwiches, love the place

25/01/2025: Went to a birthday function here. Very clean and spacious. Good bar and facilities.

06/11/2024: Very nice warm atmosphere with lovely staff

20/09/2024: All I can say is they are so helpful with any request that you might have ,I got a birthday cake from them and the service was excellent, and the cak was delicious ,

26/06/2024: Best coffee in South county Dublin 😍

13/03/2025: Been going to Mario's for 30 years since I was a toddler with my parents. Had multiple birthdays there, including my 21st. Will no doubt bring my own children there in the near future. Always a pleasure, great food and atmosphere.

08/02/2025: Coming here for 30 years! Always a great experience
