The best restaurants in Dublin

03/01/2026: Got a spice bag off of deliveroo and it was the worst spice bag I’ve ever had. The chips were soggy and chicken was very clearly from the freezer. We counted two pieces of pepper and onion in the whole bag and to top it off they gave me two spice bags. Coke was also gone off and flat in the tin. The curry sauce had separated in the container and tasted like O’Donnell’s cheap sauce from the supermarket. Something so simple could be done so much better :(

31/12/2025: Shi Wang Yun, Authentic Chinese Flavors in Ireland Who understands?! Discovering Shi Wang Yun, a hidden gem of a Chinese restaurant in Ireland, was absolutely divine! The freshly fried dough sticks are golden and crispy, with a fluffy, honeycomb-like texture inside, paired with silky sweet soy milk—it instantly transports you back to a breakfast stall in China. The oil-splashed biangbiang noodles are thick and chewy, with hot oil and fragrant chili powder mixed with minced garlic, so delicious you can't help but slurp them up; the pork pies have a crispy crust and a juicy, tender filling—every bite is pure bliss. From soy milk and fried dough sticks in the morning to Sichuan, Hunan, and Northeastern Chinese dishes at lunchtime, this restaurant infuses every dish with the essence of Chinese life. Eating this in a foreign land is truly therapeutic!

10/02/2026: The first time I came here I was blessed with the most delicious Mexican experience on my tastebuds. It was truly beautiful The second time I came here I embodied the Mexican meal adventure in another direction, instead ruining the toilet in minus one in the TBSI. It did not taste good enough for the constipation to be worth it This place is also extortionate and when I offered to pay in pesos the lady looked at me funny. Por qué?

29/01/2026: Very good burritos at a great price! I completely reccomend it!

03/01/2026: Terrible service. Staff were unhelpful and uninterested, and the waiting time was ridiculous. Definitely not worth the hassle.

12/11/2025: Food was very yummy. It is refreshing to find vegeterian options where the tofu actually tastes like it was cooked with care. Price was also reasonable. Looking forward to ordering again in the future

15/10/2025: Nice place, very pleasant atmosphere, delicious beverage and really friendly staff. I really enjoyed being there.

08/10/2025: “Relaxed, welcoming and delicious — everything you want in a park café!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolute gem in Herbert Park! I have been coming to Lolly and Cooks for years for their amazing coffee and sweet treats — but lunch here is next-level delicious. The fresh salads made by Christina were bursting with flavour, and I even bought extra for home! The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. My toddler loves their cosy kids’ corner with books and toys — it’s the perfect family-friendly café to relax after a play in the park. Beautiful food, great coffee, and such a lovely atmosphere every time. 🌿☕🥗

31/10/2025: Great venue. Was there for the Lost Sunday Skalloween ska and reggae event which was brilliant. The Last Lane venue allowed for different acts to be performing at the same time, like the DJ in one section and live band in another. Highly recommend both Lost Lane and the Lost Sunday gig.

31/08/2025: I’ve come many times already. I have allergies and they’re always super careful and nice. And the food tastes delicious. I was attended by Sarah and Carol

25/08/2025: Love this place for years. Unfortunately bar staff Steve came in pints are not the same so the customers say.

22/08/2025: Was there for all ireland football final .. didn't open untill 1230 .. can't believe they don't look for exemption for the 2 finals .. people queuing outside for 2 hours to get in ..

08/12/2025: I had the gingerbread espresso and it was fabulous! Anju took really good care of us. I will definitely return!

08/12/2025: Anju made us the best gingerbread coffee at Nespresso in Dublin! Love coming here to get Nespresso!

03/08/2025: Best coffee in Dublin! The lads are really sound too 👌

02/08/2025: Love the place, coffee and the vibe

06/10/2025: Well-priced, tasty food, and a generously sized pot of tea! The second time I visited, it took a little while to get served because of how busy it was in there (this is not at all a complaint, it's just how it goes sometimes), but the manager was very apologetic and even offered a complimentary drink to make up for it. This was not at all necessary, but it shows that they care about the customer experience here. The other staff members were also very friendly.

01/10/2025: The owner is so rude and uses foul language. The products are not safe, hygiene-wise. Be careful!

22/03/2026: I’ve been a regular customer of the place and I wa surprised to see the behaviour of the staff. I was denied service and 20.10 while the closing time was 20.30. I requested just a dessert take away which was right in front of me. But the lady said we are closed (in a rude way) while we still had 20 mins left. I can’t believe one of the best dessert places would turn this bitter all of a sudden.

22/03/2026: Okay food but unfriendly staff.

29/11/2025: Didn’t have the stone steak this time which would have given it 5 for food!

29/11/2025: Excellent meal this evening at Scotts, Charte and Sinead made it special, superb wine insights by Charte!

05/04/2026: The selection was very limited and the food ended up being very oily.

26/03/2026: Have had positive experiences in the past but my partner and I were severely disappointed this time around. He ordered the beef cheek ragu and it arrived entirely uncooked, the pasta was rock solid and inedible. I ordered the garlic prawn pasta and the sauce was entirely butter with little to no seasoning. My partner got a replacement dish but the staff are extremely inattentive and very difficult to get a hold of, overall not very friendly. Will not be back.

29/11/2025: What a tremendous tavern serving stouts and perfect porters. If Dublin is a lady, Grace's is the corsage on her wrist!

02/11/2025: Nice staff and service but a trad group essentially displaced us by slowly moving into our seats, shoving our belongings down and eventually telling us to move so we had to leave despite being customers for a couple of hours. Beware of this if you’re a younger person, it felt territorial

28/01/2026: Best fried chicken I've had in my life, it's amazing!

19/01/2026: Mix and chicken kebab from Max Takeaway is unreal — massive portion, loads of flavour, and perfectly cooked meat fresh salad and plenty of sauce. The staff were really friendly and welcoming too. Great value for the size, Me and my girlfriend order one or two every week xD can't go wrong

06/06/2025: First i stepped on dog poo out side her shop i asked her for water to clean it of but when i had tisue and got it off by stepping on puddles i was just trying to tell its ok and I got it off bit she started acting cheeky wont even let me speak saying it not my problem and leave my store now and sighed steppingcon some dog poo and asking free water bare in mind if she would asked me it cost money i would pay because i dont have a problem with it cause she wants to bisness and she was very cheeky and I went there before and the Coffee was so bitter and disgusting i would not recommend it for anyone.

03/06/2025: Cute and traditional café located in the center of Dublin. Here you can get a traditional Irish breakfast among other options like bagels, sandwiches and wraps. The staff was very friendly and even brought the food to our table. The food was sensational and gave us a sense of tradition inside of a modern city like Dublin. We would recommend this place to have breakfast or coffee any day!
