The best restaurants in Dublin

05/01/2026: Beautiful food, great Guinness and friendly. Thank you 👍

30/11/2025: I didnt have food , but love this pub , friendly ,warm , very good service

31/01/2026: I had very high hopes. It was disappointing. The pasta nothing unusual. The bolognese came in a clump and were somewhere warm. The carbonara was ok. The place had a specific smell, and not a pleasant one.

23/01/2026: Regarding the service: The welcome was pleasant and quick. The ordering process was explained to us, and the waiter was very kind. The food: We ordered two dishes (Beef Cheek Tagliatelle and Garlic Prawns & Chilli). They were delivered on time. The beef cheek had very good meat, but the pasta needed more cooking time as it was slightly undercooked. The Garlic Prawns pasta was somewhat oily and only had four prawns. Overall, the dishes were reasonable in terms of price and portion size. We also ordered a dessert (tiramisu), which was very good—well balanced and fresh. 4/5 Atmosphere of the place: The place looks clean, with pleasant music, but it lacks character—everything is black, simple, and minimalist. 2/5

14/10/2025: Great pizza, keep going back for more of their Cajun pizza ❤️

07/09/2025: The best pizza i have had in Dublin so far! Especially if you are looking for flavors close to back home, you have got to try this. Owner is very friendly and recommended we try the Chicken Cajun flavor. Generous on the toppings, size and great overall pizza! Worth the price as well and most importantly HALAL!

03/01/2026: Michaela looked after us Booked a table for 7, service charge added We went with the Early Bird 3 Course Meal €30.95 Decent choices, good value I went with the Spicy Chicken Wing Starter, Satay Chicken Curry 1/2 & 1/2 with the Malteeser Cheesecake option Our only hiccup was the dessert, one of our guests has an allergy to strawberry and was given strawberry. This was rectified and an alternative provided. Please make sure to cater for all, if some mentions an allergy then write down allergy. If you need the chef to come out to the table, then get the chef! Other than that, friendly courteous staff and thank you to Michaela for an enjoyable night.

27/12/2025: It was a lovely evening with friends for a pre Christmas get together and definitely worth a return visit

15/01/2026: Delicious food and super-friendly staff! Will definitely visit again.

14/01/2026: Very nice place to meet friends and have a meal. Recommended for a place to Go.

28/08/2025: Great staff and atmosphere. Food is excellent!

09/08/2025: Lovely but not a very serious market.

14/12/2025: Lovely setting and great staff. Food was mediocre, fries way too greasy and the burger was cremated with an odd smoky flavour. Wings were amazing though.

06/12/2025: Place was crazy with people attending Christmas parties, but the lady wondered us was brilliant and made sure our experience was top notch. Food was very nice and would recommend

07/01/2026: Good staffs and really good food

01/01/2026: Should be renamed the onion house Ordered 4 main courses 3 of which were over 50% onion .. brutal food I’ll never eat here again and the price is shocking at €17 for a main … well you know what you can do with your onions next time .. shove them where the sun don’t shine

05/01/2026: Great food and friendly service. The blonde manager with glasses was very kind and hardworking, even while very busy. Really great experience!

26/12/2025: Just had a bag of chips here. Wouldn't be rushing back.

15/08/2025: The name Fair Play feels rather ironic after my visit. I popped in hoping to grab a coffee to go, accompanied by my dog. Instead of a warm greeting, I was met with a raised hand from what appeared to be the owner, signalling that I should head outside. I obliged immediately, yet even then I wasn’t offered the chance to purchase a takeaway coffee. A simple, polite explanation would have been appreciated – and frankly, a takeaway option should have been the obvious next step. Sadly, the encounter felt unwelcoming and far from the hospitality you’d expect from a local café.

31/07/2025: A wonderful place, people are so friendly. Only stopped for a cuppa, but will definitely be back.

05/11/2025: I went there last Sunday. Everything would have been perfect, but the manager was really disappointing. He was very aggressive and spoke rudely. Honestly, he seemed to be 100% under the influence of alcohol. An older man, with completely inappropriate behavior for a public place.

30/10/2025: Well-kept place, very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent Guinness. Highly recommended.

26/06/2025: Tiny, comfy, close to the sea and the 2 guys there are so lovely! Specially TUK 💘 He's lovely!

20/06/2025: The service was below expectations. There was no Wi-Fi available, and it was unclear who was managing the facility. Overall, a disappointing experience.

10/01/2026: If I could put 0 star I will ! Such a rude staff members they took any good out of the products. The manager was very unprofessional, I had to wait at least 5 minutes before she looked up from her phone. Absolutely terrible experience

04/01/2026: We had a great evening overall at this cocktail bar. The upstairs bar was excellent: amazing cocktails, great atmosphere, and perfect service. Everything was top quality and we truly enjoyed our time there. Unfortunately, the experience ended on a disappointing note. At 1:00 AM, a security guard aggressively insisted that we leave, even though Google Maps lists the bar’s closing time as 2:30 AM. He even tried to take my girlfriend’s glass while it was still half full, without asking if she had finished. When I calmly asked why we were being asked to leave so early, he questioned where I was from and threatened to kick me out without any valid explanation, simply for asking a question. It’s a shame, as the quality of the cocktails and the service do not match this kind of unprofessional behavior.

16/01/2026: Had breakfast it was delicious staff were very helpful and friendly definitely looking forward to going there again

02/01/2026: great food and coffee just off st stephen’s green. the latte art was so pretty it was sad to ruin it haha
