The best restaurants in Dublin

20/05/2025: Second time having my son’s birthday here, unfortunately I won’t be booking again. The man at reception was so lovely and helpful! But after that it went down hill, the party “host” was on his phone leaning against the wall while kids played bubble football for the full 45 mins. The only time he lifted his head off his phone was to help a child that called him to help with the bubble. I went back into the man In reception and asked was the hosting to do any games with the kids, after this he went out to talk to him . After that the “host” took all the lads to the party room, came back with food and then left. The staff in the bar and the man in reception were so lovely and helpful, but the party “host” had no interest to be there, let alone the party host. Please give the kids that are there for a party, your time and attention.

28/04/2025: Excellent service and a very friendly atmosphere staff are second to none always a pleasure to be there.

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!!

28/11/2025: great little neighbourhood shop, lovely selection of wine and food.

03/09/2025: Great place for a coffee and pastry (which they get from Bread 41-good tip to miss the line there is come here). Some benches out front to enjoy on. Fresh bread, flowers and a large wine selection available. Good cheese, meats, pasta, and all sorts of spices and sauces available. Highly recommend as a local grocer.

25/11/2025: It's me Mondays stop. I stop for a couple of pints and peanuts 💪 my way to celebrate and watch football

18/08/2025: They don't do food, but if your having a party they allow food to be delivered. Staff are very friendly and lovely pints. The establishment has a good friendly atmosphere, we come here quiet a lot.

03/05/2026: Why did they change the skinny chips to those wretched ahh big chips

24/04/2026: Didnt eat here but what a fantastic gem of a pub. Staff outstanding. Everyone in great form

20/11/2025: Tainá and staff was very nice and very professional with us, and her smile and enthusiasm was great. We would love to go back with family and friends and have another cake.

16/11/2025: Continues to disappoint with the worst flat white. Been a loyal and constant customer of this place for about a year. While the pastries are lovely, and the staff is friendly, the flat whites I’ve been getting here became just terrible and not up to any standard. Not worth paying 4EUR for a coffee with milk that I can make myself at home. Cant give no more than one star and will look for another place.

02/04/2026: Fantastic food nicest Thai food by far in Dublin

15/02/2026: It's one of our favourite takeaways..

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.

02/06/2026: I love this place; I go there every time I'm in Dublin! The staff is friendly and they never miss your order. The food is pretty fast and delicious! They even gave me a loyalty card 💕

16/05/2026: This place has many choices, and also tastes so good <3. But they put their tapioca or any other toppings, that are made are very small, i always got really few tapiocas.

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.

31/08/2025: Good pizza, but very expensive - 8 or 9 euros for a small reheated slice of pizza is a lot.Sitting on stool, eating with hands.However, it's in line with the unjustified prices in Temple Bar. I will not go back.

29/08/2025: We were hungry after the bars and this place was open. So we figured, why not? It was actually good food! The pizza is on a Chibatta type dough with really great toppings. Give it a try.

29/05/2026: I really like this place! 🤩 The sandwiches are great, and the bread is perfectly crispy. 🥪 The service is fantastic, and the atmosphere is wonderful. ✨ My only minor issue was the coffee; it was a bit bitter ☕ keep in mind coffe os the reason we all go to a place and it isn't cheep either.

04/05/2026: Great coffee and sandwiches, always have seasonal specials. Staff were very welcoming and polite. Not cheap but worth the price for the quality. Recommend if near the area

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.

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.

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.
