The best restaurants in Dublin

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.

11/01/2026: Great little gem out the back entrance of a wonderfully chaotic second hand bookshop. The cakes were delicious and the staff helped create a friendly atmosphere. Note: it’s better to enter through the bookshop over the strange back alley route.

23/12/2025: A truly special, tucked-away cafe with gorgeous cakes and scones and other treats baked on site. Food portions are large, hospitality is warm and generous, and it's a peaceful spot to spend an afternoon. Abundant courtyard seating (with heaters) for the warmly dressed (my first visit was in December). Highly recommended for people who want a Dublin oasis within an easy walk of Grafton/St. Stephen's/etc. Also of note: While the cafe has been in business for a couple of decades, it changed hands this year and the new owner, Julio, was on site, very warmly welcoming, and seems to have a happy staff working for him. UPDATE: Just noting after several more visits that my first impression has only cemented into a conviction that this is a world-class cafe and people who take the time to seek it out will leave feeling like the luckiest and best-liked customers who have ever visited.

11/10/2025: The store is very clean, new and has warn atmosphere. Coffee is delicious

10/10/2025: Lovely hot chocolate, staff is very friendly

29/10/2025: Coffee and granola best around.

11/09/2025: Appetising deli and lovely staff

19/11/2025: Amazing sushi 🍱 🍣 best one so far 🫶

02/11/2025: The sushi was really tasty and the attention was excellent. The staff were super friendly, the portions were generous, and everything was delicious! Definitely a place I’d come back to. 🍣

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

01/04/2026: Nice atmosphere and good service

31/03/2026: The cocktails were delicious, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the prices were good. We had a great time and will definitely come back

06/02/2026: Grand spot altogether. Staff were sound and on the ball, food was savage with good portions, and everything ran smooth. Toilets spotless, seating comfortable, and the atmosphere was great once it got going.

18/11/2025: Grand spot, was at niece's 21s Plenty of seating.. lighting was poor, a lot of missing bulbs in area. . Toilets clean, place was cold, as door for smoking area. Food service was very good, good selection of food on platters. Also bar staff good and friendly, just a better selection of non alcoholic beverages would have been good.... Overall good spot... Second time been at this location. Downstairs before and good food, service ect .... Well done guys. Just parking could be looked at... As we were coming from outside area .. n required car ect .

18/02/2026: Good food and very friendly staff. Kathy

24/01/2026: Nice food, little veg (even though explicitly stated on the menu). The chips could have been fried slightly longer. Portion size is decent, but men will probably need to order a side with it. Atmosphere is good, sports were visible from all booths. Service was friendly. Good traditional pub.

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.

21/09/2025: There's live music on Sundays and the waiters are top-notch. Highly recommended.

16/09/2025: Stuff of legends when i was a teenager you could go in and members of the dubliners would be playing some weekdays

31/08/2025: Standards have dropped lack of curry sauce on chips. Chips not cooked very well. Not the worst but used be alot nicer.

05/08/2025: a good spot for food next to the campus if you're visiting

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.

14/03/2026: I'm sorry, brother, the cousin is useless, you have to change.

18/02/2026: They don't have any experience with customers services very bad the staff there talking shit

20/03/2026: Absolutely fantastic looking place. Outdoor (covered) area is amazing with big screens and heating out the back. Dog friendly. Food is average to be honest with a few highlights. Onion rings are good. Has huge potential.

19/03/2026: Great interior! Plenty of space and seating. Lots of screens with live sports.
