The best restaurants in Dublin

26/08/2026: Probably the best coffee place in Dublin! The coffee is always amazing, and you can also buy beans to take home, which is a big plus. The service is always great, especially Maria, the Mexican girl — she’s super friendly and always makes you feel welcome.

04/08/2026: The coffee is excellent, with carefully roasted beans and a real passion for quality in every cup. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a lovely place to enjoy a coffee, catch up with friends, or simply take a quiet break, a fantastic spot for coffee lovers — highly recommended if you appreciate well-crafted coffee and a genuine café experience.

13/08/2026: Delicious bagel! Friendly staff! I had the smoked salmon and the Sicilian sun dried tomato and a smoothie

08/08/2026: We were looking for something to fill our stomachs first thing in the morning, and this place totally solved the problem! The bagels were excellent, served quickly, and generously filled!

09/08/2026: During the heatwave I came here with my dog, I asked the lady for a takeaway cup so I could give the dog water. She told me the owner doesn’t allow her to sell them. I just said, it’s so I can give the dog water it’s just a cup, she still said no as apparently the owner does not allow it. How cheap and stingey is the owner?

15/07/2026: Delicious coffee and amazing service , the barista was very lovely and fast, she provided great service !

06/01/2026: Unfortunately, this restaurant has closed permanently. It will be sadly missed by regular happy customers. See my review below: The best breakfast / lunch restaurant in Monkstown bar none. Everything on the menu is delicious it’s so hard to choose. Super service too! I’m a regular and always will be. Highly recommend an early G&T.

06/12/2025: 3 stars max because the place is cosy and the coffee is good, but I wouldn’t return there for the brunch menu…branch menu is just average and not a good value for money.

07/07/2026: the chicken tenders at their restaurant are very delicious, and my friend and I always order them whenever we come here。

04/09/2026: You want pints and incredible food in a chill place? This is it. Kimchi fried rice is incredible here. Been coming here for 8 years and I have 0 complaints.

16/06/2026: This place was recommended to us and was amazing! We got the chicken teriyaki and the deep fried chicken wings. So flavorful and generous portions; some of the best Korean food we've tried. The service was also great. Would definitely recommend trying this place!!

30/08/2026: Food is delicious and really nice wine you can also beri g your own bottle if you want which two ladies did the day we visited lovely place

27/08/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 9/10 We had such a wonderful experience at Momento! The service was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Everyone was so attentive and welcoming, and a special mention to Milena, who was such a sweetheart and incredibly attentive. She really made our experience even more special! ❤️ The starters were perfect, and the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful — such a lovely place for a date night. ✨ The desserts were incredible! We tried the brownie and the lemon cheesecake, and both were delicious. 🤤 Our main courses were also really, really tasty. The only small thing I would mention is that the steak could have been just a little more tender, but the flavours were fantastic. Overall, a fantastic restaurant with amazing food, a beautiful atmosphere and outstanding service. We had a lovely evening and would definitely come back! ❤️ Thank you, Momento, for such a lovely experience! 🥂✨

09/09/2026: Great place for an event prior to students returning. Catering is superb.

27/08/2026: Good courses for experienced professional as well as freshers.

21/08/2026: We had our wedding celebration couple of weeks ago at the Grand Canal Hotel and have to say it was perfect. From day 1 organising everything remotely with Gillian, up to the big day, everything was flawless, the rooms, the staff, the decoration, the food. We had arrived 30 mins early to the welcoming drinks and the staff rallied to have everything in place and the food brought earlier to accommodate our guests. Joao was in charge that day of coordinating everything and we're extremely thankful. The wedding dinner was perfect, the table decoration, the timing of the service, simply everything. All our guests left with a smile and a full stomach and that made us very very happy. Hence, if you are thinking on a perfect location to celebrate any event, in our case our marriage, we highly recommend the Grand Canal Hotel, if we could, we would do it all over again.

19/08/2026: Got two aromatic half ducks and a can of Sprite. It supposed to cost approximately 28-29 euros but I was charged 45.55. Just noticed it a day later. Gona call them or call in into the shop to resolve the issue. Payment was made at 23:23 on 17 August.

05/07/2026: The chicken wrapo was lovely and so was the spicy wings the sweet sour chicken was okay

08/09/2026: Really good coffee and such a nice vibe! The staff are lovely too. They have toasties and a few bakery treats at the counter. Just a heads-up, the toasties and other food finish around 3 PM, but you can still grab things like carrot cake from the counter afterwards. Definitely a nice spot for a coffee after a walk around.

03/08/2026: Excellent coffee with wonderful sandwiches! The staff are very friendly! I loved the experience and highly recommend it.

02/10/2026: Burger was decent enough I also got the classic fried with blue cheese the blue cheese was absolutely woeful to say the least service was solid courier arrived on time etc overall very underwhelming wouldn’t be rushing back there any time soon!

26/09/2026: ***Amended review after return visit*** Burgers are tasty and top notch. Please ensure you use the proper web site. Service with a smile from Deco 👌

28/09/2026: Got ignored on the patio so went inside after a wait and learned the taps weren’t working. Maybe try again someday.

25/09/2026: I had lunch outside the Queens in Dalkey on Sunday 20th with 3 friends! While sitting in the sun in the front courtyard was lovely sadly the food & service didn't match the atmosphere! Two of our main courses arrived without the other 2 meals which meant I was almost finished mine before the other plates arrived! I had the roast pork special which was very average to say the least, very thin slivers of pork which were far too salty for my taste & according to my fellow diners my meal was the best out of the four as we all had something different! I have been to their sister restaurant the Eagle in Glasthule many times and the food is always superb along with the service! Could do a lot better Queens of Dalkey!!

05/09/2026: Beautiful, unique and so pleasant. Great prices and livly atmosphere!

30/08/2026: Superb tapas and wine for 4 - veggie options were equally as delicious as meat/fish. Lovely staff. We ordered slightly too much but scoffed it all!

20/05/2026: Gem 💎. We discovered this place as we're looking to park the car for going on holidays. Dropped of car and got courtesy bus to airport. Easy access to departures and on return super easy collection at park 16 for coaches . The hotel itself is very comfortable, has everything you'd need.we stayed here after getting off late flight . We actually got bumped up to an apartment so had choice of bedrooms and kitchen plus 2bathrooms. Huge space with super views over airport.We stayed for lunch next day in the comfortable bar/lounge/ restaurant. Food was really nice great selection. Overall the most memorable part of our time using their facilities is the staff and absolute care and generous care they gave us when we rang back from holidays and needed our car checked. They went out of their way to contact us and complete our need. The car was parked underground for €12 a day, courtesy coach to and from the airport and then to stay over night was €241 in total. Great way to finish a lovely relaxing holiday. Totally recommend using the facilities and staying at The Metro & Apartments.

19/05/2026: Wonderful staff! Clean rooms. Closes to the bus to get to City Centre. Airport shuttle made getting out of the airport very easy! Great place to stay!
