The best restaurants in Dublin

12/09/2026: No menus, had to take a photo of the board and read off my phone. 6 euro for a stale sausage roll, 15 euro for a bang average sandwich with very little meat.

05/09/2026: Fantastic Portuguese pastries! Ate too fast to take photos!

13/09/2026: I visited Indian Tiffins today with a friend. Unfortunately, while the food itself was fine, the customer service left a very disappointing impression. We initially sat at a table for six because we had only planned to order takeaway and leave. When we arrived, the restaurant was empty, so we didn't think there would be an issue with where we sat. We ended up ordering two cups of tea while waiting for our takeaway. When we later asked for the bill, the waiter appeared to completely ignore me and looked straight past me. I then noticed the group of six behind me, which made the interaction feel dismissive. We were asked to move to a table for two which I completely understand. However, the way we were spoken to was unnecessarily rude. What made it more uncomfortable was that one of the customers from the group actually apologised to us, rather than the staff member who had spoken to us. There was also confusion when I went to pay. Our takeaway parcel had been left on a counter to the side, while another parcel was kept near the cash desk. I almost walked out with someone else's order because there was no clear communication about which parcel was ours. I understand that restaurants can get busy and that tables need to be managed, but basic courtesy and clear communication should still be expected. Unfortunately, the way we were treated made the experience unpleasant, and I would expect much better customer service.

08/09/2026: Indian Tiffins, Dublin Had a really enjoyable meal at Indian Tiffins in Dublin. The restaurant has a nice, relaxed atmosphere and the menu offers a good variety of Indian and regional-style dishes. We tried flavour-packed Indo-Chinese platter consisting of Chicken 65, Chicken Schezwan Rice and Chicken Hakka Noodles, bringing together crispy chicken, aromatic rice and wok-tossed noodles with bold spices and sauces. The noodles and rice combination was another highlight. The noodles were well seasoned with plenty of vegetables, while the rice had a lovely Indo-Chinese-style flavour with peppers, spring onions and cashews. The portions were generous and the food was served hot and fresh. We also had Indian tea, which was comforting and nicely prepared, along with mango juice.

12/09/2026: I'd like so give a shout out for the two wonderful girls Larissa and Marina in happy sheep Terenure. Their smiling happy faces and fun chats make my day. They are also the best coffee makers!

12/09/2026: Great, cute little coffee shop! So nice to meet a friend in etc and sit outside. The staff are also always lovely ❤️❤️

17/10/2026: Nero Café Candem Street Liwer is a lovely place with a great atmosphere, excellent drinks, and a welcoming environment. A special mention to Ryan, the bartender, who really makes the experience even better! He gets every drink spot on and clearly knows what he’s doing. He’s always friendly, welcoming, and attentive to customers, making everyone feel comfortable and appreciated. His excellent service and positive attitude make a real difference.

02/10/2026: Really good food and easy access. Excellent coffee.

09/10/2026: Got told to order food at the buffet counter, they were clearly surprised as fish and chips are supposed to be ordered at the table. They accommodated. Took nearly 25 minutes longer than the advertised 25 minutes as seen on the menu later. Not a spoon of cold peas in a dirty cup even less tartar, cold fries and reheated fish given the temperature differences in the piece. Do go here for the fish and chips or value for money. Go for the atmosphere, friendly staff and mostly tourists.

04/10/2026: Our first Pub while visiting Dublin. Service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was very laid back and casual. The food was served cafeteria style. The ordered the chicken with veggies and it was tender and very tasteful. I ordered meat with gravy it too was delicious. Highly recommend.

06/08/2026: I come here from time to time when I want to have a coffee, open my laptop and get a bit of work done. One of the things I like about this Costa is sitting by the window — it’s actually a nice spot to slow down for a while, have a coffee and catch up on some work. The coffee itself is usually what I expect from Costa and I enjoyed mine today. ☕ The place is comfortable enough to sit for a while, although I think the overall experience could be a little better, especially when it comes to service. Sometimes the small things make a difference when you’re paying around €10 for a visit. That said, I still like coming here. It’s convenient, there’s a relaxed feeling when you find a good seat, and being able to sit with my laptop and enjoy a coffee without feeling rushed is a big plus for me. Not perfect, but definitely a place I’m happy to return to. A few improvements in service and consistency would easily make it a five-star experience for me. ☕💻

09/05/2026: Great spot, easy parking, good service and comfortable seating

25/06/2026: I love the sense of feeling the past and history of this hotel and also the fact that it is situated in the heart of the city. If you like traveling on foot, this hotel is for you as everything is just a walk away. The staff were very nice and accommodating, too. I booked this hotel via Expedia because of its location and because of the fact that it was listed as “shuttle to the airport included”. But unfortunately for me, that information was incorrect. Story short, instead of saving on shuttle to airport, €40 more added on top of the hotel stay. But hey, did that dampen the Dublin experience?! Not really. It would’ve been nice if Shane (front desk) offered me a complimentary breakfast as a cherry on top for that hiccup though. It would’ve been nice. (Smiling) Anyways, please be advised that the walls in this older buildings are thin, so if you’re a light sleeper, might want to consider using earplugs and/or a silent love-making. All in all, still a great place to stay if you’re looking for a great location and if they little things don’t really bother you. Thank you staff!

31/03/2026: I booked this place for 2 nights as a last minute change in plans. Check in was easy. Staff were very nice. location is perfect. The bar/restaurant is great. Room was nice cozy and not noisy. Would stay again.

26/09/2026: Masha Allah, the best pizza I ate in my entire life, very nice taste, good staff with great respect and kindness.

26/09/2026: NEVER AGAIN,Been ordering food with them for a long time but for a few month now things are getting worse and worse,missing toppings on the pizzas (happened twice already),chips taste cheap and like burnt oil that havent been changed in a long time and you can tell they are frozen,delivery takes about 1h and 30 minutes (and its only a 5 minute drive from the shop),100% never ordering from them again.

10/10/2026: To be honest the worst calling them 20 min and telling them to prepare it they were ok then entered and food was not ready to pick

03/10/2026: My hearing is bad, it's not THAT bad 😐

12/10/2026: I get the team food every Friday from Half & Half. The team absolutely love it. Best food around. Quality of food and service is unparalleled. Highly recommend.

29/09/2026: Most delicious beef burger I had in whole Dublin, qantity and quality were both awesome. It was simple mouth watering, would love to come back ASAP.... Thanks management for maintaining tremendous standards. Special complements to the chef... ❤️✨

05/09/2025: Amazing pizza and amazing staff! Specially Shivangini

20/08/2025: Disgusting pizza due to the fact that the dough wasn't stretched properly - way too thick as a result and felt dreadful afterwards

17/09/2026: Food real fresh. Special burger would highly reccomend. They have meals 2 for €16 on website that you can ask for in store. Very polite staff.

04/09/2026: Love the food that I had. Staff was nice and pleased

21/08/2026: We had our wedding celebration couple of weeks ago at the Grand Canal Hotel and have to say it was perfect. From day 1 organising everything remotely with Gillian, up to the big day, everything was flawless, the rooms, the staff, the decoration, the food. We had arrived 30 mins early to the welcoming drinks and the staff rallied to have everything in place and the food brought earlier to accommodate our guests. Joao was in charge that day of coordinating everything and we're extremely thankful. The wedding dinner was perfect, the table decoration, the timing of the service, simply everything. All our guests left with a smile and a full stomach and that made us very very happy. Hence, if you are thinking on a perfect location to celebrate any event, in our case our marriage, we highly recommend the Grand Canal Hotel, if we could, we would do it all over again.
