The best restaurants in Dublin

16/12/2025: Food is very good and the place has a nice atmosphere. However, paying 7 euros for a pint of Guinness, you would at least expect it to be a decent pour. I would excuse one bad pint, but I ordered 3 pints in a row, from three different bar staff and each pour was progressively worse than the previous. Guinness is one of the most popular, if not most popular drink orders. The place is lovely, but at least get the basics right and teach staff how to pour a pint of Guinness properly.

10/12/2025: Walked in on a Wednesday night, place wasn’t busy at all but the bartender was so slow to serve us, mainly because he was to busy trying to be cool for his mates. We order 3 whiskey sours that tasted so bad. We just left without finishing our drinks. Don’t recommend it!!

04/09/2025: “The coffee is excellent, definitely 10/10. However, as an employee the experience is disappointing – the workload is overwhelming, staff are not treated with respect, and the working conditions are far from fair.”

02/09/2025: Great coffee. Very friendly and helpful staff. Get in early as it gets very busy

11/10/2025: Great Pub. A smashing local pub in Crumlin. Good pint . Live music and a choice of lounge or bar .

25/08/2025: Brilliant local family pub, great atmosphere, especially when the butler family put on a show, although it is somewhat diminished by a certain member of staff, we wont mention any names, but he has red curly hair. 😂

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

18/08/2025: Great atmosphere yesterday in there for Oasis, real pity about the older gentleman working behind the bar. Ive never seen someone as rude behind a bar, was there all afternoon and watched him have a go at 2 or 3 people for nothing, called one customer a gobshite. I couldnt believe it, he has to own the place for the way he carried on. Crazy, no way an employee would have been let carry on the way he did.

13/08/2025: A great bar. Didn't have the food but it looked lovely. Pub and toilets are spotless. Bar staff attentive and engaging.

14/03/2026: Very nice! Indian cuisine is very tasty👍🏻🙂

14/03/2026: We came back to this place due to great food, friendly staff and great atmosphere 👌

15/12/2025: Old style family pub in suburbs of Dundrum. The menu had all you needed, very good value and quality was excellent. Give it a go if you are near by, good alternative.

11/12/2025: Balinteer men's shed Christmas party went with a bang .FOOD was excellent and music top class.A great night was had by all .Definitely recommend it for a gathering. Thanks to Tomas for everything Owen

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.

20/08/2025: We had food and drinks couldn't have asked for any better great service aswell from Jeremy highly recommend

26/07/2025: Lovely place, quiz night is a lot of fun

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. 🌿☕🥗

06/01/2026: Unfortunately, this restaurant has closed permanently. It will be sadly missed by regular happy customers. See my review below: The best breakfast / lunch restaurant in Monkstown bar none. Everything on the menu is delicious it’s so hard to choose. Super service too! I’m a regular and always will be. Highly recommend an early G&T.

06/12/2025: 3 stars max because the place is cosy and the coffee is good, but I wouldn’t return there for the brunch menu…branch menu is just average and not a good value for money.

15/12/2025: Food here is awesome. Their burgers and kebabs are amazing…

08/08/2025: Food was horrendous and expensive 17:50 for a collection for one. Dry chips, cheap small cheap sausages, lumpy microwave curry sauce.

02/07/2025: Dahlia is amazing here at the beechwood location! She’s so friendly and easy going every time I come in! Makes my day! The smoothies are so good here and I have to say she makes them better than the other branches I’ve been to!

21/06/2025: DO NOT try Turmeric Sunrise! The packaging is deceptive! It's disgusting and unacceptable. Disgusting.

14/06/2025: Friendly staff nice pint of Guinness

03/04/2025: The grattan pub and staff are amazing Simon olga and amy very nice people.. the sushi is for me the best in Dublin I've been all over but uts. Y far the nicest
