The best restaurants in Dublin

28/07/2025: An out of time evening! After a movie in the most beautiful and comfortable cinema ever ( food is served at your table during the movie!) we had cocktails and dinner at the Stella cocktail club upstairs. The service is highly professionnal and so friendly that they make you feel like a regular customer. The cocktails are perfect and the food delicious. Add to it a smooth jazz background and you feel like you entered a speakeasy in 1930. A great time and we will definitely be back.

23/07/2025: Lovely atmosphere – cozy yet elegant. The cocktails are creative, beautifully themed, and taste amazing. The food is also very good. We love coming here for special occasions and usually dress up a bit, as the interior has a luxurious vibe. That said, it’s not overly formal, so you don’t have to go overboard with dressing up unless you want to. Overall, it’s a place that feels stylish and refined while still being comfortable.

23/07/2025: Rice wasn't the freshest, some hard grains.

21/07/2025: Food is meh only good things on the menu are the loaded chips and butterfly burger yet they never seem to have the loaded chips in stock. This is very disappointing and I always leave there dissatisfied as I couldn’t get what i actually wanted to get. As for the butterfly burger they have completely taken it off the menu and I was very very unhappy. They could have taken off something that was very unpopular off the menu instead but yet they didn’t which is stupid. It’s safe to say I will not be coming back to Nando’s ever again this is upsetting as this was my favourite restaurant. The staff are lovely amd are doing an amazing job for how busy it get but my one problem is them coming over when my mouth is full and asking if everything is ok I get that is there job but maybe they could just ask us if we need anything else when we get the food and ask if it was ok after we’re done eating. Anotjer issue I have is that they stopped taking down the names when your waiting for a table, this resulted in me constantly getting skipped on the queue.

27/04/2025: Ive tried this place a couple of times waiting for the magic to happen but it just never came, it flatters to deceive for me.

20/04/2025: Edit: A year after my first review I see things didn't change. New employees but the same attitude of being more focused in socialising between one another and laughing loudly, than serving. We had finished our meal and the dishes were there, being annoying at the table when we wanted to use it for something else. A server would come and go close to us, but was avoiding eye contact and never asked to take the dirty plates. A different server came after a while and took them without us having to ask. There was a third server, the one that took our orders and brought the food, but he never came even near us after serving the food. Also, in this place you are asked if you want a coffee as soon as you sit. For lunch we prefer the coffee after the meal, but since no server approached us for a long time after we finished eating, we gave up. By the time the only good server approached us we were annoyed and didn't want to give this place more of our money. I think we're not considering this place anymore for Sunday lunch, since apparently the staff can't be arsed to work on that day... Original review: I have been to this café several times, I like this place, the food is a bit pricey and I wish they had more vegetarian options, but the flavours are great. The service is normally good, sometimes even great. Today, though, the waitress we had at first was more focused on socialising with her coworkers than on taking our order, or the one beside us. Later on, she and other staff members apparently were taking a break sitting at a table, they were very loud, talking and laughing in an obnoxious manner. Not really the type of atmosphere you would prefer in a café. When we paid, again another member of staff seemed more interested in socialising with coworkers than to greet us good bye. It left a weird taste, not very customer oriented day, I guess.

08/08/2025: Cancelled couple of weeks before booking

05/08/2025: Cocktails were delicious, staff were super attentive and lovely to chat to. I had a whisky sour - made perfectly. The host also recommended another drink to me for next time which was much appreciated. Loved the decor, very elegant looking space.

25/06/2025: Very nice food, very good deals, staff very friendly and polite I would highly recommend to anyone in the area 😀

22/06/2025: Came here before a gig in the National Stadium. Gorgeous fresh pizza and the staff were so nice!

04/08/2025: Do not let u dance or do the work

20/05/2025: Good pints and good pool table near tv screens with sports on. Can't go wrong 😁

12/07/2025: Great food and lovely service. Looking forward to eating there again.

08/06/2025: La comida y el servicio en HX 46 era brillante. Me dieron el sándwich vietnamita y wow que estaba delicioso, lo recomendaría encarecidamente. El personal era muy servicial con mis dos hijos.

29/07/2025: Great atmosphere with really good coffee. Lunch options are fresh and tasty. It can get busy but there are always seating available. Lots of business meetings taking place throughout the day from local businesses in the area.

21/07/2025: Hey, We been there few times. Coffee side staff is very rude andun professional. They don't bother anything if you ask something they are just talking each others. Don't listen customers properly. Normally I love this coffee place came always with friends and family like 4-5 peoples each time.

26/07/2025: Can't understand how this place is still in business when people's reviews from 3 years ago are exactly the same as mine today. Food is processed crap, the whole place smells like grease, staff look like they'd rather be anywhere else. The toilets are filthy and have no hand dryers or tissue to dry hands.

16/07/2025: Really friendly local café! I went twice in the past week - once just for a coffee close to closing time and once for food. The staff/management were so welcoming and friendly (and were in no rush to kick us out for our evening coffee - thank you)! The smoked salmon and avocado combo was also delicious.

17/07/2025: Better than expected. Walked in with low hopes — left surprisingly satisfied. ☕ Coffee was solid. Smooth, not bitter, and didn’t taste like regret. 🍽 Food arrived fast, tasted fresh, and wasn’t just pretty-for-Instagram. 📋 Had to order and pay at the till (never my favourite), but they pulled it off. Not life-changing, but like a Quantum Leap into a better-than-average brunch.

06/07/2025: Located on the main Rd but set back..next to civic centre..good choice of hot/cold foods..

21/07/2025: Food very good and a nice place but inefficient management creates unnecessary massive queues. It's been like this for years and no effort made to improve this. Queueing 30 mins for a coffee is just silly and easily fixed with some logical thinking.

02/07/2025: I usually go on weekends, and I like to go to the take away service because the staff there, specifically the girl and boy they've always been super friendly with me and with other customers. Even when the place is very busy, they are so kind and keep everything clean.

16/07/2025: Very comfortable place for travel!

15/07/2025: Great station..as to it has great atmosphere and great shops

20/05/2025: Order beef short rib and seafood chowder. Amazing!!

18/05/2025: fish and chips was perfect. the atmosphere is perfect. 23.50 eur may 2025

21/07/2025: The macarons and Eugenie are gluten-free, but the taste isn't anything special. The hot chocolate wasn't very tasty either, unfortunately. But the tea and scones were good.

10/07/2025: We chose coffee and dessert. The cream inside tasted like rice pudding. I must say the croissant was expensive. The desserts were average.

03/08/2025: Normal restaurant for lunch time.

18/07/2025: Ordered take away yesterday, as a regular customer, very disappointed saw some metal stuff appeared in the food.
