The best restaurants in Dublin

13/08/2026: Only go here for quick takeaway coffees. Today a €1 tip was added to my card payment for a coffee, without asking. I only noticed later. It’s not about the money , it’s the attitude. Service there is never great and communication is often difficult with staff who have poor English. I won’t be back, much better options nearby.

21/07/2026: They don't ask about the size, they just knock out the biggest one. They didn't ask if it was here or not, so we sat down at a table with a glass to take away

12/09/2026: Skip the spice bag. But get the noodles. Very nice!!! Portion is big. The 3 of us bought 2 items to share 😆

12/09/2026: This was one of the best asian food places I have ever tried. I tried their signature noodles and dumplings. Dumplings were delicious, I was not sure if the noodles would be enough before I ordered but when it arrived the portion was huge. I actually had to take extra time to finish it lol, very delicious broth and they were incredibly generous with ingredients. Really appreciated visiting here🙏🏻

18/07/2026: The shawarma would be nicer with pickles

01/07/2026: My wife and I ended up eating here because it was nearby to an appointment we had in the area, and I'm gonna be real: this is the best pizza I think I've ever had in Europe. Certainly in Ireland. I'm not super well travelled, and haven't been all over, but I cannot overstate how good the pepperoni pizza here is. It was like being transported back in time to when I was a kid eating the perfect slice of pizza for lunch after an hour of playing at an arcade. Staff was also really nice, and seeing all the kids there for ice cream was really wholesome. The ice cream machine did end up breaking while we were there, so we didn't get to try it, but next time for sure!

09/08/2026: Went here the night of football All-Ireland. Supervisor changed channel on all TV's when Sunday Game came on because Mayo fans were too loud. Doubt that ever happened when Dublin won!! All GAA fans should stay away from here!!! KOH.

29/07/2026: Security didn’t allow some patrons to enter because they were the wrong “skin colour”, beyond appalling. When questioned, they said they didn’t need to provide any explanation. I left the pub and needless to say we don’t be going back.

04/09/2026: I rented a bike here for three weeks and had a great experience! The service was incredibly warm and welcoming, and the whole process was smooth and easy. The bike was impeccable : reliable, comfortable, and clearly very well maintained. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to rent a bike in Ireland ☺️

15/08/2026: I recently entered this shop, heavily pregnant and asked the lady if it would be possible to please use the toilet quickly. The shop was completely empty and I was alone. I could see the bathroom directly in front of me, not in use. I told the lady I was pregnant and really needed to go. The lady told me to pick out something "cool" to buy from the shop and then I would be allowed to use the toilet. I honestly was shocked and appauled that another woman would turn away a pregnant woman. It's small acts of kindness that differentiate businesses and if the shop had customers or was busy, maybe I could have understood her reaction. I have told this to many people who have also been completely shocked and outraged.

19/08/2026: Go to place in town for casual bite! Have been going for last 13/12 years and still love it! And not just for the free ice cream! Staff are always friendly!

13/08/2026: This is a great restaurant for some grub

17/08/2026: great food, great service - when one of us dropped a fork accidentally, we got a new one without even asking for it. the atmosphere is good, like it was years ago, when we visited for the first time. the chips are outstanding!

15/08/2026: Perfect for trying gluten-free fish and chips.

23/06/2026: This morning, I went to Costa to grab an iced mango matcha and cookies for my child. I told the barista which cookies I wanted, but she gave me a strange look, as if she didn't understand what I was saying. I showed her, and she gave them to me. It was my first time trying an iced mango matcha from Costa, and it was undrinkable. It tasted like powder. It was terrible, and I threw it in the bin.

20/05/2026: Very bad, waiting to use the toilet 🚽, toilet locked, no sign of out of order, after 10 minutes of waiting, knocking on the door no sign of anyone there, a staff told me first that it was open and then when I said it was locked and he said oh it's in very bad condition so make up whatever that means, I don't know!

25/05/2026: Nice coffee served by a friendly guy. I recommend.

13/05/2026: Lovely place. I go there every day. Really nice guy. Recommend it if you want to have a little seat and enjoy hot coffee by the side of river Liffey.

27/07/2026: Loved the dinner menu. Really nice cocktails too

26/07/2026: I went to Doolally last, 3 years ago and at that time the experience was amazing. We came back yesterday and we were disappointed. The atmosphere and the service were good as usual and there is nothing to fault The sharing platter we ordered has few bites, so tiny and they were okay, but we wouldn't order it again. We took two chicken mains, one bhindi and one lamb dish. The bhuna ghost was delicious. The korma was okay, but on the sweeter side. The murgh tikka masala and the bhindi though were very dry and strong on the masala. The bhindi was still raw and crunchy. The garlic naan, was delicious and it really saved the meal. But for 40€ each we would have expected more.

30/08/2026: Incredible food and service. Thank you

29/08/2026: The best part was the bread....Most of the food was a bit salty. The portions were small but it was OK because no one wanted more anyway.

16/08/2026: Great coffee! I asked for extra hot and it wasn’t burnt. Beautiful latte art too

26/06/2026: So glad I stumbled across it while walking, coffee is amazing

01/09/2026: Disappointing experience for our group of 8 by celebrating a surprise birthday for my friend. We were repeatedly rushed throughout the meal and made to feel unwelcome. Despite the poor service, we were charged a €27 service fee and €15 for bringing a birthday cake, which staff neither removed from its box nor cut — they only provided plates. We were not even made aware of the service fee and were rushed to pay the bill. Given how much we spent, we expected far better hospitality. We would like a refund of the €27 service charge as the level of service did not justify it.

23/08/2026: Everytime I crave for authentic thai food, this is my number choice. From their signature thai curry dishes, steamed sea bass, and their amazing mouth watering mango sticky rice, just reminds me of when I first visited thailand many ages ago. You dont need to spend thousands of € to fly over to 🇰🇭, just to have authentic thai cuisine. Plus, if you crave for that spicy and firey flavour on your dish, just ask and it shall be given.😉

06/07/2026: Superb breakfast & excellent staff

16/04/2026: I visited Sima with a colleague and had a steak sandwich it was very tasty the service was quick efficient and the staff were courteous and very nice. I wont leave it as long next time Thank you

10/07/2026: Proper Dublin boozer. Immaculate pints and a Proper pub feeling. It has rejected trendy fads and is a place for a pint and newspaper or some drinking in memorial of a friend who has passed.

16/06/2026: €7.50 for a pint. The guy wanted the money the second he handed me the beer. Relax, mate, let me at least find out if I like it first
