The best restaurants in Dublin

02/07/2025: Visiting Dunlaoire and Dunphys looked like an authentic Irish pub. Unfortunately the welcome did not match. A young tall ginger slapped a sloppy, overflowing, unsettled Guinness on the counter and said that’ll be 6.80 and when I muttered, would you not let it settle he retorted, “do you want it or not”,I replied no and I don’t like your attitude (well I don’t like yours ether, he said !) and I left. (Wed July 2nd) Got a contrasting reception and a smashing pint of Guinness in The 2 Foxes.

27/06/2025: Came in for some drinks on our holiday with our 3 year old son says no buggies but they didn't mind us storing ours in the door way so long as it wasn't in the way. Great pub lovely old decor and great friendly staff. Had the Ambush Pale Ale was incredible with the glasses chilled in the fridge. 10/10 would get pissed here again.

15/05/2025: Amazing coffee, Incredible toasties and great vibes. All the staff are so sound. My favourite place to grab a coffee before work or on the weekend.

31/03/2025: Amazing service and the drink was great

23/09/2025: ordered a goujon wrap and an omelette for my mam. The omelette was ok peppers were just put on wasnt cooked in with the omelette. Then i waited an hour for my wrap as they forgot about it and it wasnt busy when i ordered so i wont go there again

03/09/2025: Breakfast. Needed a bit more cooking.

21/10/2025: Best cold pressed and acai in dublin by a long shot !!!!! Highly recommend.

27/09/2025: Really good price for the portion size and quality of the açai bowl. Friendly staff!

05/06/2025: Beautiful surroundings, Japanese style landscaping. A joy to sit here for coffee and then a walk around the park!

16/04/2025: Surroundings is beautiful and staff were pleasant. Carrot cake was OK & sausage roll was surprisingly tiny. They moved through a large queue quickly.

20/09/2025: Best spicebag in the area , good portion, full of flavour, fried noodles always great aswell, quick delivery and drivers and other staff lovely

06/09/2025: Recently moved to the area and have had some nice food from here, their special spice bag is a mountain of food with crispy chicken, beef and prawns , may end up being a regular now

26/07/2025: Great venue for a gig.. Wobblin Jude was the main artist. Exceeded expections.

21/07/2025: We came here for a wedding at the weekend and it was fab! The venue was lovely and a perfect size - felt intimate without being cramped. Food was tasty and staff were more than helpful in making last minute swaps for me. Alcohol free selection on the bar was great as well, the raspberry beer was so good!

29/09/2025: Great for breakfast, I love the vegan breakfast.

20/09/2025: Absolutely love this place to unwind after a busy week. Just improve the food.

07/09/2025: Brunch, lunch, everything is made fresh in front of you. Friendly welcome and decor, great address

04/09/2025: Absolutely terrible service and dirty

15/10/2025: A Full Irish breakfast hits the spot everytime. Plenty of toast & tea. Perfect pancakes for the little ones. The smashed avocado with feta salad is pretty good too

17/09/2025: Good food and surroundings! Very enjoyable lunchtime!

29/10/2025: A charming place favored by locals...

25/10/2025: Here on Friday 24th, October for the KEVENT. A tallish man with greying hair and glasses treated my wife and myself with utter disrespect at the cloakroom screaming at us and many other customers. Then later in the night we were stood up by the bar in the dancing area and the same man quite aggressively pushed myself and grabbed my wife below the hips to move us away because we were apparently “In the way”. Utterly disgusting behaviour from a location and event that are both so popular. Disgusted.

10/10/2025: The cheese is great, but it’s basically a small standing room in an alley

14/09/2025: Wasn’t really welcomed when I came in. Staff seemed preoccupied even though it wasn’t busy. Wasn’t really sure what food was served etc. No food boards on display. And no real assistance. I ordered a cheese toaster and red wine. The food was nice and the wine was ok. But was expensive for what it was.

11/10/2025: First time ordering from Tokyo Kitchen and it was awful. The oyakodon was all wrong, the chicken was deep fried instead of pan fried and was tough instead of tender. The egg was overcooked when it should be soft and runny. The karaage chicken was no better, covered in thick batter with tough meat inside. Definitely not authentic Japanese food. Really disappointing and wouldn’t recommend at all.

02/10/2025: Literally a hole in the wall but SO delicious.

01/09/2025: A great local bar with fantastic service and a great atmosphere. I'll be back!!!!

05/08/2025: Always a great night in The Manhattan, staff are always so lovely & in comparison to the prices of other pubs around it’s brilliant, 2 for €10 cocktails and 2 for €5 shots! :)

20/08/2025: Just a very pleasant place to eat and relax awhile - very nice staff and good atmosphere.

14/08/2025: I’ll start by saying, you can sit where you want and they call your name to collect your order. It’s tucked away in the corner of where woodies and maxizoo is and it’s a cute spot, they’ve too sheltered outdoor areas and multiple seating options fully outside if that suits you better. The staff are super friendly and helpful when ordering and they make sure you understand. It’s not that expensive compared to other cafes either. I find a lot of other places can be extortionate but this all priced fairly. We only had French toast so I can’t judge the whole menu but it was nice, my only issue was the amount of maple syrup was scabby, I ran out and was eating dry french toast quite quickly. The bacon was nice but could be crispier. The fruit was nice but it’s obviously prepared as it’s mushy and leaking juice. I’d prefer just fresh fruit. Other than that it’s a great place and clearly popular by the amount of people who came in during the short time we were there.
