The best restaurants in Dublin

07/12/2025: Worst food ive had in Dublin and im a Dub. The steak in the beef and Guinness stew was totally inedible lumps of rubber and this cost €20, thats unacceptable really. The gujons consisted of 4 pieces of hard chicken and few dry chips. It was very disappointing because we were enjoying the pub until then. I told the server and he just said "sorry about that." We left hungry broke and rather angry

05/12/2025: Great service, great pints but the Steak & Guinness Pie was very disapointing. Beef so tough

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.

22/10/2025: We visited Olives Garden with our daughter and our dog. Lovely outdoor seating, family-friendly atmosphere, and a great selection of pastries. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view. Great coffees

13/10/2025: Great coffee and delicious cake! Very busy but that was due to the sunshine...

08/09/2025: Went there yesterday with a friend the place was in an absolute state but I thought maybe they were just really busy beforehand. Was met with awful customer service and my açai bowl genuinely tasted like MUCK I will never go back

30/08/2025: Nice bubble tea shop and lovely staff . Classic milk tea

20/09/2025: “It was impossible to place an order online. I tried ringing the place continuously for almost two hours, but there was no answer. My online order was rejected twice because they couldn’t accept it.”

17/09/2025: The food was amazing and worth every single euro! Definitely a regular stop for good Indian food.

04/09/2025: Good food and coffee 👍 never change 😁

22/07/2025: Jumped in here today. Coffee and veggie roll. Both delicious. Staff were so friendly. Recommend

03/03/2026: AVOID! Unless you like your Sunday Roast with more fat and grizzle than meat! The Dublin food scene, with a few exceptions, is ordinary at best and Ashton’s is yet another example that fits that mold. Serving food like this shows zero pride and highlights an unprofessional chef/kitchen staff.

02/03/2026: Worth the detour ( from Ranelagh)

20/12/2025: Great burgers, sweet potato fries and onion rings! The free style machine is a plus if you are a fizzy drink lover

19/12/2025: Great burguer place, the best in the area for sure! The staff is also amazing and friendly, we became regulars now. Make sure to taste the onion rings and the shake!

18/07/2025: I come here very often and buy two of my favorite bakery items an Almond Croissant and Chocolate Orange Cake

03/07/2025: Nice bakery and pastry shop in Stoneybatter, lovely almond croissants, beautiful sourdough loafs and nice Toastie or pre made rolls. Highly recommend

20/01/2026: This is my pharmacy. Keeping the family well, Finn and his lovely staff, are my go to for all kinds of advice to keep the doctor away. Highly recommend stopping here before getting that prescription filled or as a complementary approach. Finn has the knowledge and the beneficial supplements for treating those stubborn ailments and has helped in the treatment and cure of my daughter’s warts on her hands, which were an enigma to the doctors.

17/01/2026: Great cappuccino in the Rathmines leisure centre..i go every weekend when children are at their swimming lesson ..staff are lovely..except for this morning..rushed and curt service..not the usual friendly experience.

01/03/2026: A humble chinese restaurant but a real gem in south dublin. If u r looking for a venue like i was for a family of 10 people, trying to impress ur in-laws and your young adult children in a Chinese restaurant, you know you got it right when the draft beer was fresh, wine delicious and the food menu has everyone s favourite and the service speedy. Here's what I ordered and all of them delicious: 1.Signature crispy roast duck 2.Crispy chilly chicken with salt and pepper 3.King prawns with corn and salt egg york 4.Seabass sweet and sour 5.razor fish with minced garlic 6. Twice cooked pork belly 7. Sizzling Beef with black bean sauce 9. Stir fried green veg 10. Stir fried aubergine and long beans 11. Chinese pork dumplings To add to our delight, the owner offered a huge complimentary fruit platter for our birthday occasion.

24/02/2026: Great Chinese food. I like seafood and meat. I can find what I like here. Steamed fish, boiled fish, ginger and scallion lobster, ginger and scallion shrimp, spicy stir-fried bamboo clams, and scallion oil snail slices are my favorites. Stir-fried lamb, cumin beef, mouth-watering chicken, and husband and wife lung slices are also great. There is a large parking lot downstairs, which is absolutely convenient. It is definitely right to come here for Chinese food. It is also a great place to eat between Dublin and Powerscourt.

27/12/2025: Nice looking pub, but the beer was flat. All three of us left our beers half drunk. Arrived at the door and the bouncer was unfriendly. Asked for a coffee and was told there was no coffee, then the bar staff made a coffee for themselves. Bad experience all round. Do better at the prices you're charging. We actually came to support an off the street bar.

21/12/2025: Pint is cheap and interior is surprisingly spacious. AI signs on the wall are odd. Two urinals in a box room can be a bit awkward.

18/06/2025: Always consistently amazing food. I go here every week and have never been disappointed. Staff are always friendly and attentive. Highly recommend

17/06/2025: Enjoyed a really tasty meal here. Will definitely be returning. Service was good and the food was super, a really enjoyable dining experience. All of the group enjoyed their food.

09/03/2026: Really handy shop in a great central location. I've been in a few times and it's always been clean, well stocked, and easy to get around. For a city centre supermarket, the selection is actually very good, especially for fresh food and quick lunch options. Staff have been friendly whenever I needed help, and the whole place feels modern and well run. Definitely one of the better shops in the area

31/01/2026: The supermarket is very small, and I've always reached it on foot, a pleasant stroll. However, I've never done a "big" purchase there because the selection isn't very varied and the prices aren't among the lowest in the area. However, unlike other supermarkets, I found a large pack of Barry's Tea to take home as a souvenir here. The advantage is that I didn't have to wait in line at the checkout, and payment was very quick. Friendly staff at the entrance and exit of the store.

22/02/2026: It was my first experience with Zouq Iftar, restuarant is good, interior is nice. Food is not. Iftar menu was very small. Food was stale. Look like made old food new. Not nice. Management is bad.

20/02/2026: We had iftar meal in zouq as always very good service and food is so delicious and fresh. Good verity of food in buffet. This is the go to spot us.
