The best restaurants in Dublin

18/06/2025: Hi, I’m Celiac, it’s great to get good grub and Yes I’m big into Shop Local.

08/04/2025: I only came in here on spec for the first time this month whilst on a holiday home to Ireland from Australia. Had a quick drink at the lovely 108 in Rathgar for old time’s sake, then just popped in here for a quick bite afterwards. I was just going to get a takeaway but when I saw the nice set up of their little place with couches and everything, I decided to sit down and eat there instead. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal of Singapore Noodles with Chicken and Vegetarian Spring Rolls. Nearly licked the bowl clean! And the lady I ordered from was so lovely and friendly. So, about a week later, I popped in and did the same thing again. This time I had the Chicken Pad Thai which was equally yummy. As with all places like this, they, more often than not, get judged on their takeaway and delivery food which is impossible to serve at the same standard as sit down service. Though I’ve no doubt this place does better than most in that regard. But, as always, the best way to enjoy food is piping hot, served to your table and, in this regard, I can’t fault them at all!! Just yum!

16/10/2025: I work in the Castle and this place is always such a nice atmosphere! Coffee is always good, the staff are quick and attentive, and the food is delicious. Inside is always very clean too

15/09/2025: we ordered three coffees (there's no table service) and brought them to our table, paying €10.35 (for three coffees). Let alone the fact that the coffees were burnt, after sitting for a good seven minutes, we were playing cards and the staff said we had to move from the paying table (as if we hadn't paid almost €11 for that monstrosity of coffees), when the bar wasn't even full. I looked at the other prices and a tiny piece of bronie cost €5. Also, there was water in a dispenser and it tasted like dirt, not exaggerating. Obviously i gave 1 star because i couldn’t give 0 stars. Highly discouraged.

08/10/2025: Took take away once, tasted good

25/08/2025: Best chipper in Blanch. The ladies are always so friendly and the food is fantastic quality at great value for money

08/08/2025: Great espresso my favorite spot around here

03/08/2025: A lovely little find in Dalkey. Delish coffee and pastries.

05/12/2024: Such a nice place love going for a bit of lunch when I'm down that way... menu is amazing 🥰

29/11/2024: We came here for brunch on Sunday and it did not disappoint!! Amazing value for money and staff are so nice

11/10/2024: Seems to be permanently closed :(

29/09/2024: 10/10, the burgers and fries were delicious and they were kind enough to still cook for us even when we got there right when they were closing (wasn't aware I'm sorry!)

16/10/2025: Very friendly staff behind the bar. It was a quiet spot for a pint in the hustle and bustle of temple bar we found this gem. Lovely pint of Guinness. Proper Irish pub.

15/10/2025: Perched prominently on South Great George's Street, Hogan's Bar stands as a magnificent bridge between the traditional Dublin boozer and the city’s vibrant, modern social scene. It is a hub of activity, people-watching, and, crucially, a highly respected purveyor of what many locals argue is one of the best, most consistently satisfying pints of Guinness in the entire city. ​The moment your pint is settled and placed before you, the quality is undeniable. The stout at Hogan's is often praised for its perfect temperature, its rich, dark color, and a dome of creamy foam that holds its structure flawlessly. The "yummy" factor is high: it's incredibly smooth on the palate, with that perfect balance of coffee and malt notes that defines a masterfully poured pint. In a city full of great Guinness, Hogan's dedication to freshness and pour technique places it firmly among the elite. ​While the Guinness might be old-school perfect, the pub's atmosphere is pure contemporary Dublin. Hogan's is famous for its large, street-facing windows, turning the bar into a theatre for observing the eclectic hustle of George's Street. By day, it's a laid-back spot perfect for chilling, reading, and conversation. But as the week winds down, the energy explodes. ​Hogan's seamlessly transitions into a lively late bar, especially when the music kicks off in the downstairs "International Beat Basement." This dual identity—a solid traditional pub with a great pint on the main floor, and a trendy, high-energy spot below—is what makes Hogan's a landmark. ​If you’re seeking a vibrant spot where the atmosphere is as electric as the stout is velvety, Hogan's is an absolute must-visit. It’s a guaranteed great pint and a guaranteed good time.

05/10/2025: 5 star pizza! Only downfall is the pizza wasn’t cut for our takeaway picnic in the car so we had to make use of what we had lol! 10/10 would defo be back. Nduja rossa was delish x

01/10/2025: Great find! The food was great and the service was just as good. Place is a bit small, but it works.

26/08/2025: Changed the menu, increased the prices. Once a great place to get normal sandwiches, not anymore sad...i had been loyal customer because of their blt's (bacon lettuce tomatoes not bell peppers and onions at leats i would have liked to be told it changed so I could ask without...)

19/05/2025: I’ve visited this café a couple of times. The atmosphere is generally nice and quiet, but unfortunately, one of the staff members (the male employee) comes across as quite unfriendly and lacking in warmth. A more welcoming and approachable attitude would really improve the customer experience. Small details like this can make a big difference. I hope this feedback is taken into consideration and leads to better service in the future. I don’t know if he’s sleepy since it’s a morning or maybe he has some problems with work… please do something about that

09/10/2025: Some different breakfast choices here and I had poached eggs, herby bacon crumble and potatoes - delicious! Excellent coffees and prices about average these days. Will definitely return..

08/10/2025: Visited with my husband and we both ordered the eggs and potato dish. The eggs were lovely, but the potatoes were clearly reheated — cold on the inside, hard, and chewy. They tasted like they’d been left over from the day before, which was really disappointing.

26/09/2025: 4€/4.50€ for latte. 5.50€ for ice latte? How much does ice cost these days…. Beats me but don’t be so cheeky charging that much

06/09/2025: No laptop policy, even if you just need to check something quickly and it’s dead quiet. Coffee is very nice the food is depressing.

04/10/2025: The best - great food and friendly staff

07/09/2025: Can't go wrong with this local chipper. Always great food. Fantastic gluten free options (and great knowledge of coeliac disease). Also sell gf treats and other gf dry foods.

16/10/2025: The best african restaurant in Ireland

28/09/2025: Great food, lovely staff & they are very quick with the Abula. Their prices is good. Just be very careful as their takeaway price is slightly different to their sitting-in price. Although the tables could do with a quick clean after the customer have left. But overall an 7.8/10. Otherwise amazing restaurants.

27/07/2025: Great place to meet friends for a drink. A bit noisy.

26/07/2025: The food was delicious! Both the food from their own kitchen and from Janet's food truck were DELICIOUS! Laura also provided excellent service; I would recommend it!
