The best restaurants in Dublin

25/05/2026: Went in for tapas last week. Every dish was gorgeous, especially the patatas bravas and the Spanish ham croquettes. The portions are quite small, even for tapas so bear that in mind when ordering, but the food is really good quality.

25/05/2026: The food was off , ever never again in this place . Stomach pain all night

03/01/2026: Although the place didn't look particularly inviting, I almost feared the same would be true for the food... but I was wrong! The pizza was really delicious, even at 1 a.m.! 🤣

01/01/2026: incredibly bad customer service, burnt pizza, inappropriate staff conduct, overall horrible. i despise this place and will NOT be coming back. keep your young kids away from terrible place.

26/12/2025: Two night stay. Standard room which was clean, warm and large enough to accommodate two. Breakfast included in rate. Reception and dining room staff all exceptionally courteous and helpful. Good variety of hot and cold dishes available for breakfast. Dinner menu is standard fare @ thirty euro per plate. Quiet atmosphere given the time of year. Few guests. Situated on the busy N81 road in Tallaght so some might find the traffic noise intrusive. Ample compliment ary car parking available. One of the few hotels that remain open for the entire Christmas period in Ireland, seemingly. Only one negative observation - the lighting in both the bedroom and the restaurant area is rather dim and makes reading difficult. Very good value for money overall. Three star hotel but a four star guest experience.

20/12/2025: Bathrooms need updating. Balcony should not be locked

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.

20/05/2026: Very bad, waiting to use the toilet 🚽, toilet locked, no sign of out of order, after 10 minutes of waiting, knocking on the door no sign of anyone there, a staff told me first that it was open and then when I said it was locked and he said oh it's in very bad condition so make up whatever that means, I don't know!

12/04/2026: Busy coffee house in Malahide Industrial Park. Slow service and quality of cakes quite low for the price paid. Coffee is of reasonable standard.

25/08/2025: Piccolo start aura farming outside the building other than that the food was pretty good

23/08/2025: It's an Italian place with a wonderful atmosphere. The sandwiches have delicious, crunchy bread, and the ingredients are specially designed to leave you with a great taste in your mouth. Their coconut biscuits are also delicious.

10/10/2025: I hope you all had a hardcore teambuilding yesterday cause today all bartenders were phased out, almost unpolite (made me feel sorry for bothering them), and it’s friday! Wake up maybe

05/10/2025: Top venue with modern music on 2 Arias. Not the typical Irish music you'd expect from a pub! The music genres you'll often find there include: ​- Techno (often referred to as the "sexy techno bunker") - House - Disco ​- Hip-Hop - Punk

14/12/2025: Old, cosy traditional pub, with genuinely nice staff (shout out to young dark haired bartender who had the patience of a saint). Great buzzy atmosphere. Will call again!

05/12/2025: The Lord Edward made it onto my “Dublin Pub Crawl” list thanks to a bartender at the Guinness Gravity Bar who swore it had a great pint of Guinness and insisted we check out the upstairs. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the upstairs was closed. Still no idea what is up there or why it was recommended. This is a small pub with a unique bar layout and plenty of age behind it. And by “age,” I mean it has not seen a remodel in a very, very long time. The men’s room is basically just a wall with a drain on the floor (which I found highly amusing), and according to the bartenders, the women’s bathroom used to be a broom closet that was converted once women were allowed into pubs. That alone tells you everything you need to know about how much this place has changed over the years. Very authentic and cool in its own way. We stopped in late on a Thursday night. The crowd was wrapping up, so we managed two rounds before last call. The bartenders signal last call the old school way, by flicking the lights on and off. Gave me a good laugh. As for the pint… it was okay. One bartender knew what he was doing and poured a proper Guinness. The other poured it the way Americans do when they have no idea what they are doing, and he did it consistently. I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Lord Edward and got plenty of laughs out of the whole experience. The company was great and the pub absolutely has character. Now, if we can only get that one bartender on board with pouring Guinness correctly… We still want to know what is upstairs.

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

07/08/2025: Lovely coffee and friendly staff.

20/06/2025: The CoCoBrew van joined us for Day 2 of our wedding celebrations, and they were an absolute hit! From the moment they arrived, they brought such a fun and relaxed energy to the day—and the coffee, cocktails, and baked goods were all next level. After a big day and night of celebrating, guests were raving about how CoCoBrew was the perfect elixir to bring them back to life! Whether it was the coffee, cocktails, or a sweet treat, everything they served was delicious and exactly what we all needed. The service was top notch too—friendly, efficient, and full of smiles. The team were an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout, and they made everything so easy and seamless. CoCoBrew truly added something special to our Day 2, and we’re so glad we had them there. We’ve had so many guests mention how brilliant it was—and we couldn’t agree more. Highly, highly recommend!

09/06/2026: The workers don’t have a clue what there doing I asked for no peri tamer sauce and no spring onions it came out with peri tamer sauce I politely said sorry I asked for no peri tamer she than came back with the same plate 15 minutes later with peri tamer still on it thinking I’m stupid so I couldn’t even eat my food and had to leave food was cold iswell.

09/06/2026: Few options on the menu, looks like fast food.

23/03/2026: I recently ordered from Pizza Max Dundrum and overall had a decent experience. The pizza was hot, fresh, and quite filling especially good for a late night meal. The delivery was reasonably quick, which is a big plus when you’re hungry late in the evening.

17/03/2026: Great service again food was delicious

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!!

05/12/2025: Very small portion for a really high price

15/10/2025: Love this place. Fab fresh food everything. Staff are happy and helpful! Ideal for a swift healthy lunch.

04/08/2025: Cleaver East has been my friend groups go to place for all of our birthdays for the past 7 years. The bottomless brunch is incredible, quick service, great cocktails and great food. Decestated that it's closing due to the hotel renovations but hopefully it opens back up and we can continue to go forever more!

03/08/2025: Our favourite restaurant in Dublin. So sad to it close. We eat again here on Sunday 3 august closing nite and had another amazing meal. Good luck to all your wonderful staff ,, it’s been a lovely 12 years of dining here. From max & Harry
