The best restaurants in Dublin

16/06/2025: Trying somewhere new, got a matcha and banana bread. Matcha was not good, very bitsy and disappointing. Banana bread was quite dry but flavour was grand! Didn’t try the coffee but if you wanted matcha maybe try somewhere else unfortunately.

11/06/2025: I really love it here. Staff are very friendly, great coffee and my dog is always welcome. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

14/01/2026: Very welcoming place, highly recommended

02/12/2025: Vibrant food market with a welcoming, communal atmosphere. It’s lively yet not chaotic, allowing visitors to explore comfortably. The variety of food stalls, casual seating and upbeat energy make it a perfect spot for quick bites or a relaxed afternoon of tasting and wandering.

18/12/2025: Were there on a Sunday night. Guy behind the bar was very pushy for us to order two wing deals when we only wanted one to start with. We overheard him instruct the kitchen staff to make our buffalo wing portion extra, extra spicy, and that we had asked for that - we hadn't - and called us names to the kitchen staff that I won't repeat here. He clearly didn't realise we could hear him, he did seem a bit drunk. I regularly eat very hot sauces with Carolina Reaper or ghost chilli, but the portion we got was extremely hot and borderline inedible. Not blaming the kitchen staff at all, they seemed like they didn't want to make the dish so spicy, but the bar man pushed them to do it. When we asked him if he had ordered them extra hot for us he made up some BS story about other customers complaining that they used to be too mild, and that's why they are now hotter, etc. Very disrespectful and hostile way to treat your customers. None of us will ever be back.

30/11/2025: Lovely vibe! Not much of loud music soo if you want to get together with friends and have conversations over a pint, definitely the place!

26/08/2025: Changed the menu, increased the prices. Once a great place to get normal sandwiches, not anymore sad...i had been loyal customer because of their blt's (bacon lettuce tomatoes not bell peppers and onions at leats i would have liked to be told it changed so I could ask without...)

19/05/2025: I’ve visited this café a couple of times. The atmosphere is generally nice and quiet, but unfortunately, one of the staff members (the male employee) comes across as quite unfriendly and lacking in warmth. A more welcoming and approachable attitude would really improve the customer experience. Small details like this can make a big difference. I hope this feedback is taken into consideration and leads to better service in the future. I don’t know if he’s sleepy since it’s a morning or maybe he has some problems with work… please do something about that

02/01/2026: Holiday tea is a must if you are in town! The service was great and very accommodating for restrictions. My husband tried several different teas. Sandwiches and pastries were good!

10/11/2025: Its not one of the highest rated afternoon teas in Dublin for no reason! Can't fault anything. Usually theres something on one of the tears I dont enjoy at an afternoon tea, but this was the first time i enjoyed everything! Tea/coffee selection was really good, though I have seen larger menus. I highly recommend

29/12/2025: I come here regularly and love the menu and variety but I’ve ordered soup on 3 different occasions and its extremely over salted!! Also music is way too loud.

29/10/2025: Great food with friendly service.

27/02/2026: I brought a school group into Rockets IFSC & they were extremely helpful & accommodating in particular Ramona. Thank you!

22/02/2026: Oh my god what happened to the menu! There is next to nothing on it and it’s not cheap! I sent my daughter over with a friend and they no longer take cash! She had to walk out. Ridiculous! Come on management this used to be a great place. Now I’m sat here and it’s empty. Not another soul in the place. I live locally and for sure this place is going to close.

06/03/2026: Morning tea in terrace restaurant. Very nice.

03/03/2026: Great quality products and gifts

22/04/2025: Ashling Hotel was a very reliable place for good traditional food. Not anymore. Had a meal there on Easter Saturday. The food was pretty mediocre. A pretty poor attempt at nouvelle cuisine. It would be better if the chef stuck with traditional menus.

02/04/2025: Food was great, staff really friendly, a few really nice wines in the wine list 👌 big ups to Gonzalo and Emma

22/10/2025: Bought cake from here and the quality was excellent. It was very tasty and fresh. They were so quick to get it ready as well.

06/10/2025: 5 stars. We ordered an ube cake for my son’s first birthday on very short notice, and they absolutely delivered! The cake was soft, moist, and so delicious everyone loved it. Thank you for making his special day even sweeter!

27/01/2026: Picked up some bao buns and bubble team while I was walking by. The honeydew bubble tea was DELICIOUS - absolute 10/10. The bao buns were good and we got a great deal on them. Perfect for a little pick me up and then we had some leftovers we were able to have later that night! Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for some comfort food in the Temple Bar area.

07/01/2026: I ordered the buns and was incredible amazing!!! And the girl there is really kind

04/03/2026: He came running out the shop screaming at us to come back after I ate my food the food was nice to be fair but then he start saying that we didn’t pay full price and he made a mistake when I clearly paid full price for my food as the tills have presets and even if I didn’t it still wouldn’t be my fault as it was their mistake

16/02/2026: Just casually walking past the shop in santry coming back from omni when a worker bangs on the window telling us to come in, thinking we might get chips or something he tells us we were around the back of the shop at the gate we try to tell him we weren't there but still says we were and says he has are faces on camera at 4.30 but at that time we were kmowwhere near the shop. All this was around 7.30 now we did ask to see the footage but just tells us to go out I think by this point he knows he's in the wrong just not right to assume it was me and my friends when it wasn't. First time in the area in a while too.

03/06/2025: The food overall was good. The bone marrow was especially delicious—rich and well-prepared. However, the rice that came with it was far too salty. The salmon was a bit underwhelming, but with a tasty sauce. On the bright side, the service was attentive and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

29/03/2025: See my review of Radisson St Helen’s

16/09/2025: Bad service and very rude personnel! don't recommend at all.

08/09/2025: My first encounter with Ireland. Excellent atmosphere, breakfast and staff. They didn't make any problem with my request for a chair and an ashtray. The food was very good and reasonably priced.

18/01/2026: Food was lovely and hot. There was a lot of variety on the menu. Very friendly service. Down side the place was freezing so we didn't stay for desert or coffee.
