The best restaurants in Dublin

26/03/2026: Another place that seems to want to redefine what a carbonara is. Pancetta instead of guanciale. Parmesan instead of pecorino. Cream for no reason whatsoever. If I order a gin + tonic do you make it with vodka? Just call it something else guys. It's not carbonara.

10/03/2026: I have been a frequent customer here and at home over the last 10 years. The owner has allways been a gentleman and customer focused. However, the restaurant has had a manageress for a while and she really has no manners or appreciation for her customers, her poor attitude naturally rubs off the other floor staff, as I like many others I have noticed the drop in the good standards. My most recent experience and last straw for me was when I ordered a delivery, after waiting for 1.5hrs and no sign off the food, I phoned and cancelled my order. I spoke with the manageress. Well, I was spoken to like a child because I cancelled my order! The manageress really need to learn manners and show some respect for your customers whether they are long established or not. Moreover, when you don't deliver in the proposed time, you do not blame the customer for cancelling food that is 45mins late! More IMPORTANTLY, you don't charge the customer for a cancelled order!!! I don't believe the above would have happened had the owner been involved, but again, he was allways customer focused which is paramount to business success in the service industry.

15/03/2026: Two dinners were served after 10 minutes of others receiving there's. Plates weren't cleared. There was a crack in one of the glasses.

14/03/2026: Authentic Japanese taste and delicious. Lots of options and vegan also available.

17/03/2026: Expensive and crowded but nice music

17/03/2026: This place was fantastic, perfect for the night before Saint Patrick's day parade. Great fun to sing along to classic tunes you love. Everyone is dancing and energy is high.

03/05/2026: We are staying next door we stopped in after just arriving In town. This is authentic of an irish pub that you can get. The owner management and waitstaff was all excellent. We enjoyed combination platter. Ask for tony " tall dark and handsome"

27/03/2026: Best pub on the planet, great staff and super service a wonderful local pub. Friendly atmosphere, great conversation and the best pub for a person on their own or with a crowd.

10/04/2026: Great Guinness, handy spot for pre or post match drinks on a trip to Tolka Park.

22/01/2026: Was refused service as soon as my friend and I went up to the counter. This was around 5pm on a Thursday there was about three people in the whole place. The bartender (not the manager John who i know) said “Regulars only” and told us to leave. Ive never heard the likes before in my life. We were well dressed, completely sober, and had just walked all the way from university in the rain to watch the racing. Very disappointing.

12/11/2025: Came into the city to specifically try this place . I would describe it as average . The food was ok , portions not huge , Weather its value for money im not sure. The description of fresh pork and fresh beef is a bit of a stretch. Its tasty but id be surprised if its cooked fresh every day , that said i could be wrong . No real complaints , if you were walking past it might be worth popping in but for me its not a return destination . The Bakery part of the establishment doesnt overly impress by presentation or impression of freshly baked goods but the blueberry muffin we bought was delicious and extremely fresh tasting , if i thought the other produce tasted as good i would have bought more, its mostly in pre packed in bags so it didnt look appealing but the muffin was excellent. We were the only ones there so wouldn't judge the atmosphere . The welcome was functional rather than friendly. Asked to take some of the meal home as we didn't finish it , provided with a plastic bag . As it contained a lot of sauce I understand a box wouldn't work but in our local Japanese restaurant charging similar prices for far superior food , they put it in a plastic bowl . I think there is a gap in the market for Filipino restaurant/ diner but this place at its current location , charging what it does , I don't think will last . They'd be better off selling it as fast food out of a mobile unit at pop up locations .

04/11/2025: Great food and nice staff, very hard to find a place like this in Dublin

13/04/2026: Went for breakfast recently. The service was appalling and bad mannered and the food was very disappointing, We will not be back

28/03/2026: It's a great place. We were here for the first time, but I really liked it. It was a March visit, so it wasn't very warm, but we sat in a sort of gazebo. It was nice because it was heated. The service was friendly and very fast. We were all impressed. The dishes came and went as if they were just waiting to be served, which was a plus. The food itself was very good. The shrimp appetizer was excellent, and the sirloin steak was prepared perfectly. A good beer made the dinner even more enjoyable.

05/02/2026: Good food with cheap prices mi

17/01/2026: Ordered online, simply put , ABYSMAL. Overpriced, under seasoned, bad aftertaste. In short if your looking to waste your money and run the risk of food poisoning this is for you. Otherwise stay clear.

26/09/2025: This is a lovely cafe. Very clean and well looked after with excellent service. Great coffee, but also great food, which is a rare combination, as most cafes offer you ham & cheese and BLT. Food here is very nicely cooked and presented. Highly recommended.

18/09/2025: Excellent service and variety of food is very good and tasty. However the Prices have been significantly Increased and regretfully our 10 year relationship has been terminated as a result.. Pity!

16/03/2026: Nice food, reasonable prices. Friendly staff. I asked for spicy and it sort of just tasted like it usually did, but how and ever, still tasted good. 😂 *edit* Chicken balls seem to have halved in size. Price stayed the same though! Thought I got a 4 portion rather than 8 by mistake because of the bag size, opened it up and they're just.... Small. 😬 More like chicken nuggets than chicken balls tbh. 😂

13/02/2026: These guys pulled through in 15 mins, food was quality too which is rare now adays

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.

08/09/2025: Went there yesterday with a friend the place was in an absolute state but I thought maybe they were just really busy beforehand. Was met with awful customer service and my açai bowl genuinely tasted like MUCK I will never go back

30/08/2025: Nice bubble tea shop and lovely staff . Classic milk tea

23/11/2025: Went over as a family and with friends as well, casual no fuss dining but full of flavours...our kids enjoyed it as well very much! We really enjoyed it and highly recommend it!

13/11/2025: Amazing food and great service! The nan and butter chicken were full of authentic flavor, and the naan was soft and fresh. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Definitely one of the best spots for Indian food — can’t wait to go back.

09/09/2025: Sorry but: damn it, the BEST SOFT ICE CREAM!!!

13/08/2025: Iconic Ice Cream with delicious taste!

11/10/2025: Great Mexican food. Ordered burritos bowl and beef chili Amazing taste, quick service , indoor and outdoor seating both. It's very busy during weekdays for lunch as well as dinner. Fast and quick and healthy options

01/09/2025: Nicest burritos going and staff are sound 🙂
