The best restaurants in Dublin

04/01/2026: Had a good experience. Raj’s service was nice, and the food was really good.

31/12/2025: This evening I've ordered butter chicken curry. To my surprise, I've got too much curry that tasted literally like a sauce that made of sugar and full of coconut powder. I tasted butter chicken lot of times before but never had this much sugar in the curry portion. It seems the colouring additives are overly added to chicken pieces and mint sauce. If I were the front man, I would ask customers about their taste preferences. All the best.

12/10/2025: Disgusted! It is unacceptable for anyone to treat a customer in such a rude manner!

12/10/2025: The manager of the pub (at least that’s what he said he was) became quite aggressive and even tried to start a fight with me. It was around 7:00 PM, and I was not drunk, first beer of the day. He seemed to think that my friend and I were laughing at someone who had fallen, but we were actually laughing about something completely unrelated. Honestly, I understand that he might have been frustrated or stressed — and I wish him all the best — but I hope he learns to calm down. His behaviour felt dangerous for customers, and I have to admit I was scared.

03/01/2026: Great food and excellent service at the Chilli Banana yesterday...and delicious cocktails 😁

14/12/2025: The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. The staff are very friendly. I will definitely come back again.

01/12/2025: Service was slow. Had ceaser salad and was very plain mostly lettuce leaves. Decor could do with freshing up.

20/11/2025: great place for a cup of coffee and some brunch. i would highly recommend

12/01/2026: I can’t wait to go there again — it’s one of my favourite places. The restaurant was absolutely amazing, with delicious food and outstanding service. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Keep up the great food and the excellent work!”

12/01/2026: Was amazing place for the coffee I really enjoyed it was so good

12/05/2025: Very small cafe. Friendly staff. Food was fine, nothing special.

20/03/2025: Excellent cafe. Very tasty sandwiches beautifully presented. Delicious cakes. Good coffee. Friendly and efficient service. Recommended.

18/10/2025: Delicious fresh coffee and very delightful service!

10/06/2025: I’ve no idea why there isn’t reviews calling out the extortionate prices of a coffee from Mocha Beans?! I’m a regular Pearse commuter and sometimes give in to a coffee from here knowing… a small cappuccino with almond milk costs €5.20. That’s insane. Alt/ non dairy milk is either cheaper or soya milk is at least free in most coffee shops (albeit soya milk is pure gick). They charge 60c extra for all non-dairy milk. Base price for their smallest cappuccino is €4.60 which is still mad but base price in Dublin unfortunately. Think about it- 60c for coffee with non-dairy milk. Say a carton of non dairy milk would cover 15 coffees. That would round up the cost of one of their cartons of almond/ soya/ oat/ coconut milk to €9, A carton of these mills costs just over €3 and you can get cheaper with generic brands (which I’m sure mocha beans do). The mark up just for having non- dairy is robbery. I dunno if they count on people ignoring price as people on platform are often tired after a days work or tired first thing in morning after train but it’s crazy. The coffee is decent but not near other known vendors who get away with a coffee for over a fiver. Avoid avoid avoid no matter how much your commuter caffeine craving tells you otherwise

27/10/2025: The place is cozy and the attention is good. The Snbazuru Yakisoba was grate, the Original Tonkotsu Ramen was just fine. There is a lot of options in the menu, in general at a higher place that in the lunch menu. In general a good place to go.

27/10/2025: One of the best seafood ramens I’ve had outside Japan

01/01/2026: One of my favourite places for food, Staff where very helpful yesterday they where fully booked for dinner but still Managed to squeeze us in really appreciate this. The food was so fresh and delicious would highly recommend. Thank you 😊

29/12/2025: Adore this place never lets me down such delicious food and super staff, need I say anymore it’s a must

10/01/2026: Loved the Irish Breakfast and the service.

13/12/2025: This is the best best breakfast I've had in Dublin so far perfectly cooked great service and atmosphere will come again!

09/01/2026: Never exceptional but not the worst. Service is always friendly but there is better value elsewhere. Quality is average. The best thing on the menu is crispy duck. But the portions are generally small. The stir fried chicken is tiny for €27 and I understand why they push the rice and noodles extras as there is about 200ml of stock in the bottom of a small bowl. Photo attached.

01/01/2026: Good atmosphere, food portions are getting smaller, and prices have increased.

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

03/08/2025: I recommend this service! the coffee was amazing

03/08/2025: This place has unique atmosphere. You can always feel where people work with passion. Smile and friendly all the time. And the iced drinks... OMG you have to try them all 😍💙

09/10/2025: Love Fuji Coffee in the Merrion Centre! The coffee is always amazing and everyone who works there is so friendly every day. I go there after the school run and it’s a great way to start the day

05/10/2025: Me and my husband just love Fiji Coffe Bar, not only for the great speciality coffee and the best dark hot chocolate in Dublin (not exaggerating), but also for an exceptional customer service. The whole team working in Fiji is very friendly and that creates warm and lovely atmosphere.

18/11/2025: Ordered vegetables in black bean sauce and got dry out vegetables..without even 1 black bean. Plus old mushrooms..and no taste.. Don't recommend. First and last time.

11/11/2025: I have not gone one day without craving the Chicken Ball Spice Box. Would recommend getting it with a thing of sweet and sour sauce to dip the food in, the very thought of it has me salivating.
