The best restaurants in Dublin

18/10/2026: Good for a stop in and relax with good choices on croissants, pastries and coffee. Enjoy a good conversation with a small table and environment.

17/10/2026: A great option for a leisurely breakfast in the center of Dublin. Pleasant atmosphere, good music, and delicious croissants with plenty of filling!

04/11/2026: As a local Dubliner, I found my experience in The Dame Tavern absolutely appalling. It's quite honestly one of the most unpleasant experiences I've had in a Dublin pub. I was out with friends and ordered two pints of Guinness, an Aperol Spritz and a non-alcoholic gin and tonic for my wife. The pub had no non-alcoholic drinks available. That's absolutely fine; these things happen. However, what happened next was completely unacceptable. When I turned away, I heard the barman laughing with another customer at the bar, joking that he would just give my wife a pint of water instead. My wife is currently undergoing cancer treatment. The barman obviously didn't know that, but frankly, he shouldn't have to know someone's personal circumstances to show a little basic courtesy and respect. I was so embarrassed and uncomfortable that I asked my friend to go up and collect the drinks instead. Unfortunately, things got even worse. My friend was charged €43.10 instead of the correct €33.10. That's an unexplained €10 overcharge. None of the drinks we had ordered cost €10, so the discrepancy was immediately obvious. When challenged, the barman sheepishly acknowledged the mistake and handed my friend €10 in cash. Whether this was deliberate or not, it certainly didn't inspire confidence, particularly given what had happened earlier. So, in one visit, we experienced a complete lack of consideration for a customer, followed by a very questionable overcharge. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience deserves to be highlighted. A little respect, decency and honesty go a long way in the hospitality business. I certainly won't be returning.

01/11/2026: Great atmosphere and very good service

20/10/2026: Authentic mexican food! Excelent service! I love this place!

18/10/2026: Popped in for a quick meal after a long day & loved it. Small place with amazing friendly service. We had a burrito and enchilada with mole. Lovely flavours & I now have to go away & try & make my own mole 😂

27/09/2026: Great neighbourhood pub, with kind service

25/09/2026: Really good traditional pub. We stumbled upon this pub by accident as above the pub was our overnight stay. It was great to have such a great pub where I was staying. No need to go into the center and fall in a touristy trap. The pubquiz was going on and the vibe was genuine and authenticwith fantastic staff taking care of us. The Fish & Chips was very tastefull.

09/11/2026: I was there and Renan looked after us, his coffee was amazing and his friendly vibe made the whole visit even better ☕✨ You can tell he really loves what he does. Thanks, Renan!

09/11/2026: A place with very friendly waiters and delicious food next to Howth harbor.

12/11/2026: Highly recommend, the food was delicious and authentic. A good value and really good. The service was excellent and so friendly. The arancini were a great surprise I highly recommend it.

08/11/2026: Visited Gigi’s this evening and I’m truly amazed on how beautiful the experience was! The 2 Gentleman and Madam (don’t want to make a mistake with the names 😅) was exceptional in looking after us. Usually when you visit an Italian restaurant you are treated with sub par dishes and it lowers your expectations for Italian cuisine. Gigi’s does the opposite of that and elevates the exceeds expectations! For starters we had Garlic Prawns which was honestly one of my favourite dishes of the night flavoured and cooked to perfection. The Arancini didn’t disappoint either and was exactly what I was looking for. For mains it was the special Gnocchi which was absolutely sensational. Tagliatelle Rullo was also on point and exactly what I was craving with the beautiful mascarpone pause. Don’t get me started on the deserts the Safron Pear Delight and the Panna Cotta basically left me in a food Coma. Enough said highly recommend visiting Gigi’s

30/06/2026: O'Neills was the perfect place for lunch! There was no wait for a table, and the service was fantastic! Quick and very friendly. The bar itself was so charming. But the absolute star of O'Neills was the delicious food. My partner got the bangers and mash and I had the Beef Guinness pie. Both of these dishes were incredibly delicious. The Beef Guinness pie was made with a lot of love. The pastry was flaky and buttery - so good. The beef was tender and juicy. O'Neills is so good, I could eat there again and again. Highly recommend!

23/05/2026: Pub review - Nice small place. Food presented ok. Chips were good. Beer as it should. The only why it is 4 stars is the beef burger - it was a bit overcooked which made it dry. I did not find any sauce it the burger, but maybe it is how they make it. But overall the portion was large and solid

02/11/2026: Visited here month back and returned the Guinness as there was a foul taste was in the area Saturday and popped in and unfortunately the same issue I said to girl who served up at our table , 15.40 for two drinks is expensive at that price the Guinness should be of better quality, wine was ok apart from the price

29/09/2026: Loved our drop in here for a pint and Jameson! Dont pass it by. The sign was right!

08/11/2026: Good restaurant attached to a very traditional pub

06/11/2026: Bar snacks are very nice, I really recommend the olives. Didn't catch the barman's name-he said he was new there. He was very nice and gave fast and brilliant service

28/10/2026: Tidy nicely welcoming pub and restaurant

26/10/2026: Walked a long way to get to the Lincoln Inn and it was well worth it. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious especially the Guinness and steak pie. Well worth a visit if you are in Dublin

07/09/2026: The best fish and chips we had during our time in Ireland. Would highly recommend splitting the fish and chips between two people as the portions were generous. The seafood chowder was also delicious.

06/09/2026: The smoked fish and chips were amazing, as was the soup.

11/10/2026: Some restaurants are worth planning your day around. Spitalfields is definitely one of them! Featured in the 2026 Michelin Guide, this Dublin gem delivers creative cooking, exceptional ingredients and the kind of dining experience that makes you wish you’d arrived with a bigger appetite. We started with the Roast Bone Marrow, Chimichurri & Sourdough Toast — rich, indulgent and absolutely delicious. The Hand Dived Scallop with Café d’Coombe Butter was another standout, beautifully prepared and packed with flavour. And then there was the cabbage lasagna. Yes, cabbage! Who knew a humble vegetable could get such a glamorous makeover? Proof that in the right hands, even cabbage can become a showstopper. The service was fantastic. Warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming, making the entire evening feel special without being overly formal. Reservations are a must! This is not a restaurant I’d leave to chance. Book ahead. Wonderful food, outstanding hospitality. Five stars. Zero regrets. Although I may never look at cabbage quite the same way again

11/10/2026: Brilliant restaurant with incredible food. Very kind staff and great, fresh wine. Really enjoyed the chicken pie, super fresh and crispy crust.

22/08/2026: What a gem! This restaurant was phenomenal when it opened and did not disappoint last night. If anything, it's better than ever. Justyna was the most gracious, warm and professional host. The food is exceptional. Burrata is on nearly every menu in the city and few give the 'wow' factor. It's execution was perfection. The music, the lighting, the food, the wine, the service...I couldn't fault it if i wanted to. So looking forward to returning,thank you team!

26/07/2026: Absolute winner! The reviews speak for themselves. Outstanding food and service, will be back soon

09/11/2026: Very comfortable venue with affordable menu & good wine selection. Tables a mite cramped with noise level high. Nonetheless a good restaurant & close to Dart. I will return.

09/11/2026: A good place to dine and chat with friends while having excellent food with a touch of fancy atmosphere. Its a must try place.

05/10/2026: Murphy’s was a highlight of our time in Dublin! A great spot to relax, enjoy the atmosphere, and make some memories. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay a little longer and come back again. Definitely worth a visit—we’d happily return!

02/10/2026: Absolutely amazing! Had the pancakes absolutely nothing wrong with it not too heavy but then it fills you up perfectly. Full Irish breakfast also was amazing cooked to perfection and the service was great super friendly and very quick service. Highly recommend staff are also super friendly and make the experience at Murphy’s 10/10! Sean was absolutely amazing too really lovely to speak with and made sure we had a perfect experience with them! Thank you!!!
