The best restaurants in Dublin

15/05/2026: Obviously slightly more pricy than other Indian takeaways considering its a restaurant, but by far the best Indian I've ever had. Would recommend anything with lamb.

19/04/2026: very good food wine & service. small premises could do with modernization and bigger toilets, but the food and service are so good.

13/03/2026: DO NOT BOOK A COCKTAIL CLASS HERE!!! Place has been shut down for months and still accepted our ticket. Neither GetyourGuide nor Viator will take down their posting of this place/activity.

18/09/2025: Good place to have a salad. Something different to the majority of restaurants and pubs.

09/09/2025: The food is good and healthy, BUT EVERYTHING IS DISPOSABLE! The plates, the cutlery, the glasses… where's the sustainability? The amount of packaging that could be saved every day.

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.

15/12/2025: We had a breakfast here for two days (Saturday and Sunday). Both days we really enjoyed the view. What surprised me is that both days I ordered the same, but I liked the sandwich as well as the hot chocolate more the first day. The second day I was a bit disappointed, it wasn’t the same. Even though, really nice staff and a lovely place to enjoy your meal. Santa sandwich for 9€ and hot chocolate for 4€.

10/12/2025: It's delicious, I was there for breakfast, there were not many visitors, but it's very atmospheric and cozy.

07/04/2026: Fun fact: once owned by Bono. Excellent location for everything, sights, tours, Guinness, shopping, etc. Can be noisy because it's located in Temple Bar district.

18/03/2026: Visited, 13 of us, 2013, was terrific. The Clarence location allowed us to walk to all of Dublin's sights. No cars on bridge over River Liffey out photo point. Less chaotic and more minstrels , jigs, on cobblestone streets -The Porterhouse, the best part of Temple Bar.

18/05/2026: Excellent little diner, great brunch but I heard they do a fine lunch too

12/05/2026: World’s best chicken sandwich!!

28/06/2026: In the heart of Dublin City laduree transports you to the elegance and ambiance of French decadence

27/06/2026: Lovely little boutique sweet and macaroons shop in the heart of D2

22/03/2026: Its an amazing bar with an amazing bartender roster, i really love all of them and i am really proud of all of them, everything is top quality and Dublin will never understand how valuable this bar is. Manager Joao is king, I wish all the pubs in dublin were like this

17/01/2026: It’s a nice environment to be in but a double Jameson and Coke was €17.80. Got to admit no warning of that was a bit of a sting Everyone one else enjoyed it though with just beers

19/10/2025: Insomnia Blanch is my favourite place to get a takeaway cappuccino

30/09/2025: Lovely location on j6,plenty of space ...a hide away place from everything at times..!

09/06/2026: Lightning speed friendly service. Mr EggBagel delicious and very good value. Ceramic cups!

25/05/2026: Had a very tasty filled breakfast bagel , lovely coffee, great smiling staff. Only €8:50 . Would recommend

19/11/2025: Good coffee, people and ambience. Food could be better.

15/10/2025: A wonderful neighbourhood cafe with great coffee and the nicest staff.

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

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.

16/06/2026: Booked a takeaway at 5.15pm yesterday 15th June but 7pm it hadn't arrived. Called Mao & spoke with the manager. He was so rude and continued to tell me to call deliverroo as it wasn't his problem ! Deliveroo customer services close at 6.30pm so no joy there. Called the manager back & asked for a refund. He said no refunds, he continued being rude and so unprofessional. I will never order from Mao again as I got no food, no refund & sent 3 hours of my evening trying to sort it out ! The food is definitely not worth the hassle! Will go to Camille in future !

09/06/2026: Amazing food. Not sure when they reopened but the food we ordered for takeaway recently was delicious. Loads of flavour & a variety of veg in each dish.
