The best restaurants in Dublin

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.

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

20/12/2025: Online it says they open at 7:30am on Saturday yet when I went at 7:35 I was told they do not open until 8am.

29/09/2025: As a regular visitor to Butlers in Ballsbridge I’m writing this review as a very disappointed customer. I order extra hot, hot chocolate. Nearly every time I receive it ,it’s lukewarm. Not even hot. It’s either far too milky or too much lumps of chocolate. The staff need more training and the outdoor seating area is often very dirty .

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!

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

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.

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.

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

21/11/2025: Coffee is delicious and staff are friendly, on a nice day its great sitting at the benches having the chats with other patrons.

07/11/2025: Found out my misses ordered from here got a sandwich, coffee and sausage roll. All I can say is don’t waste your money in this place!!!! Coffee she got was 300ml of hot water, sandwich if you can even call it that was anaemic chicken on 2 slices of bread and the “sausage roll” should contain more than a trace amount of meat!!!! Near €5 for a sausage roll that’s 99% pastry and is the size of a Golfball. Do yourself and everyone you know a favour and never go here!!!! Whole order was nearly €25 delivered. I’d sooner burn the money than return.

20/11/2025: I absolutely loved Crowbar during my trip to Dublin. The atmosphere inside was welcoming and the bartenders were friendly. The prices are reasonable. I didn't go to the nightclub section of the bar, but according to a friend, it's pretty good. I recommend it!

02/11/2025: Accidentally spilled my pint after 30 seconds of buying it. Explained the bartender that it was a mistake and asked if maybe she could replace it. Instead she nastly said “you have to pay again, obviously” in a mean manner. Like I understand that but that was not nice to respond in such demeanour, especially the “obviously” part. Other bars would have replaced it for free.

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

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.

25/01/2026: Wow what an amazing takeaway! Beautifully cooked food, delivered fast and well packaged. My girlfriend and I got the curry trigons, duck satay with fried rice, spice bag and chicken balls and we were both surprised with not only how quick the food arrived, but how nicely packaged everything was. Kambo obviously go the extra mile by paying extra for branding all of their takeaway containers and bags and it ensures that everything arrives safely and is still hot unlike other Chinese takeaways where the sauces and food tend to leak out of the containers and the plastic bags aren’t safe to hold all of the food. Everything was cooked perfectly, my girlfriend even ordered off them again tonight! 5/5 will definitely be ordering off them again, they really stand out compared to other Chinese takeaways.

15/01/2026: Food was amazing and the service was awesome everyone was so friendly and nice
