The best restaurants in Dublin

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

13/01/2026: Best coffee shop in town. You can choose your espresso from various beans.

03/01/2026: This coffee shop offers a wide selection, from coffee to matcha, complemented by excellent pastries. Highly recommended! I thoroughly enjoyed their brewed Ethiopian coffee.

07/06/2026: Had such a great evening there! The three of us all went for a set menu that was more than generous and left us stuffed, for a very reasonable price. Every dish was special and tasty, especially the starters, and also the pizzas and desserts. Nice service and a great atmosphere it's an instant favourite in Blackrock now. Some people complaining about tap water being charged for, but actually, you do get filtered (much better tasting and I'd say, healthier) water, also sparkling, if you like, for 2 euros a person, and as much as you want. I drink quite a lot of water so I think this is a reasonable enough deal.

25/05/2026: Great spot! Really tasty food with lovely staff. Also very well priced.

06/06/2026: Amazing food, great prices and the staff are lovely

27/05/2026: This a new favourite coffee shop, I’m not a coffee drinker but this place was quiet and beautiful and we had the place to our self’s till closing

03/05/2026: Top notch Gaffe/Leonards is it the best burger ever? If it isn't it's dam close 😊

02/05/2026: My favourite place. Sound staff that look like they love their jobs. Always great craic!

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.

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

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.

17/03/2026: This place was fantastic, perfect for the night before Saint Patrick's day parade. Great fun to sing along to classic tunes you love. Everyone is dancing and energy is high.

17/03/2026: Expensive and crowded but nice music

14/06/2026: Gorgeous food, service was 10/10 (Think our main person was called Dee - absolute sweetheart....So helpful & chatty & very cool eye make up)......Drinks were lovely. I ordered the goat salad with chicken & totally cleared my plate. Also for the table, chicken wings & Nachos. Zero complaints. We got lucky with no concert on. Super chilled & we sat outside. Was exactly as we'd hoped. Very polite staff. Great atmosphere.

05/06/2026: Service was non-existent. Food was very poor. The chips were rubbish, tasted like cheap frozen chips. The striploin steak was inedible, mostly gristle. We reported it and nothing was done about it, not even an apology. Some of the staff were even quite rude. The portions were small. The restaurant itself was dirty and noisy. Rubys used to be a good spot so not sure what has changed. I won't go back.

21/04/2026: Very tasty, nicely presented take away food.

01/01/2026: Food was tasty but very pricey for takeaway. There are less expensive places with equal quality in the area.2 mains with sides and 2 starters was almost €60.

27/08/2025: excellent breakfast and lovely saleswoman! I recommend

21/08/2025: Small and very good fast-food restaurant. Delicious vegan burritos. Highly recommended.

22/05/2026: Local to Dublin and would go to no.27 a few times a year for a nice pre-dinner drink on special occasions, and book an annual conference here. My daughter and I had booked in for lunch before going to inquire about booking her wedding at The Shelbourne. Really poor experience using a voucher, poorly manager by the manager at no.27. The customer service turned us off and no longer progressing wedding inquiry (180 guests) as a result. Food and atmosphere, customer service aside, lovely as always.

18/05/2026: Other than The Duke's in St. John's, Newfoundland, best fish and chips ever! Super busy bar, but worth the wait. Amazing service.

26/11/2025: Honestly, I'm baffled. 5/5? The lady who took our order was pleasant but that is the ony positive I can give. Cutlery was dirty, food burnt and/cold, and sending it back didn't improve it any. The coffee was below par. There was no apology, no offer of something else. First and last visit.

21/10/2025: Really bad cheese-breads. Nothing like the original. Nice staff.

21/02/2026: Staff not smiling, talking only to each other and looking at their phones is n o t a place for me. At all. Great food, though!

22/01/2026: Disappointing experience. The server was friendly but sadly didn’t know how to make my bowl. Was constantly referencing a guide and then when I went to eat the food I saw the portion was nowhere near what it should be. Disappointing as I used to always like Chopped.
