The best restaurants in Dublin

07/06/2026: I absolutely loved the view here. It’s the kind of place where you can sit for hours, enjoy the scenery, and completely lose track of time. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even better. The only downside for me was the coffee. I ordered a cappuccino, but both the taste and the foam were a bit disappointing and didn’t meet my expectations. That said, I’m willing to give it another try, as it may have been an off day rather than a reflection of their usual quality. Despite that, it’s a lovely spot with a great atmosphere, beautiful views, and excellent service. I’d happily visit again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind.

09/04/2026: A little gem, great coffee, excellent food choice (vegan & gluten free options) and delicious, staff are so friendly and welcoming.

12/09/2025: Lovely food, great service and great value. A quiet night but that didn't bother us. Nice and relaxed 😊

24/08/2025: Always good. Friendly service. Excellent food

17/07/2026: The best bar we visited in Dublin and we tried many, fair prices and good atmosphere.

03/07/2026: Lovely place! Enjoyed an evening

26/08/2026: went today for dinner with mum ordered the fish & chips both fish were disgraceful it was shocking no white fish chips peas tartare sauce were fab very disappointed with the staff talking about us when we complained won’t be rushing back

23/08/2026: We had a very good meal and drinks, and our wonderful server (Marta) deserves special mention. Even though we kept her very busy and even had to cancel our reservation (we were too eager to please!), she was incredibly friendly and always there for us. We had a great evening.

16/06/2026: The old lady that works there (I think is the manager) is very rude to everyone even the customers and every time she makes my coffee is cold.

03/06/2026: I've been working on and off across the road for the past 2.5 years and Cafe Sol always delivers, thanks again!

22/08/2026: It is the place I go everytime for a lunch after/before a train journey. I recommend for solo travellers, a nice break after a train ride or a nice lunch before a train ride.

29/07/2026: Don’t really know where to start, first time in Dublin and being English first thing I though of was an Irish breakfast we’ve tried a few whilst we’ve been here, and the rest have been brilliant, see decent reviews on here and thought I’d give it a go. Food was rubbery everything was cold. Coffee wasn’t great. The only half decent thing on the plate was a lukewarm hash brown. On my next return to Dublin I will definitely avoid this place

27/08/2026: Very bad service. Said on the website it would take 30 min - took over an hour. Rang dominoes to find out why it was so long and was lied too and given bad information. Worst experience I’ve ever had with a take away. Will Not be going back and I live very close.

12/08/2026: The food was so beautiful and the guests were treated very kind and respectful

30/08/2026: Always get orders here . I had my flower shop across from Giulio's the family are all amazing The food is tops ❣️

26/06/2026: 2nd time getting hard, dried up reheats, thought last time was bad luck, I was so disappointed 😞 won't be ordering for them anymore.

01/06/2026: Excellent food with friendly polite service.

19/05/2026: First time eating here today and it was exceptional food was delicious really fresh and great presentation lovely flavours service was very good will definitely go back again

09/07/2026: The food was delicious, the people were so kind and helpful, and the atmosphere was amazing. I would definitely recommend coming here!

30/06/2026: Food was amazing! Got the carrot cake and ceaser salad and both were fresh and flavorful.

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

24/04/2026: Terrible customer service and a very unsafe location, if staying in Dublin! Strongly advise to avoid.

22/04/2026: A small, 3-star hotel in an excellent location. It has been renovated and offers reasonable rates. Bus, tram, and train stops are just steps away. Temple Bar is about a 15-minute walk. The room was fine, clean, and the staff was very attentive, bilingual, and helpful. They provide a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar, sweetener, and biscuits, which are replenished as needed. The bathroom has soap, shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner. The towels are good quality. There's a hairdryer, a small but functional wardrobe, and a safe. The only downside is that the bus station is directly across the street, and you can sometimes hear noise. It might also give the impression of being a somewhat unsafe area because there's a homeless shelter nearby; people wander around but don't bother anyone. To get to and from the airport, you can use the Dublin Express, the Xpress, or bus 41, all of which stop a short walk from the hotel.

23/08/2026: Amazing donut shop in the Temple Bar area of Dublin!! Off the wall flavors and the donuts were unreal!!

08/08/2026: Excellent quality and freshness. Good coffee too. We were in Dublin for three days and ate at Offbeat every day.

02/08/2026: Meh. Not very flavoursome food but ok. Donburi unagi (eel): Decent teriyaki style sauce on the eel and the fish was nice but overall it was so bland. Small bit of wakame which was tasteless and then cubes of yellow something which was even more tasteless. Rice was also somehow not good. Fast service, haven’t tried the rest but wouldn’t be rushing back at those prices and lack of flavour.

28/06/2026: I visited this restaurant recently and unfortunately my experience was disappointing. The food arrived cold. The duck dish was not good, although the kimchi was acceptable. I also ordered takoyaki, but I was not confident that the octopus was fresh. For drinks, I specifically requested a cold drink with ice because of the hot weather. However, the drink was served warm and only had a small amount of ice. I don't mind paying extra if additional ice costs more, because I wanted a properly cold drink. Oh yeah, i did request additional ice. The service was also not very friendly. I understand the staff may have been tired because I placed my order around 9pm, close to closing time maybe. However, if the restaurant prefers to stop serving customers earlier, it would be better to clearly communicate that rather than making customers feel unwelcome through facial expressions or attitude. Overall, I did not enjoy my experience and would not return based on this visit.

09/09/2026: The good: The place is clean, there is both indoor and outdoor seating and some of the food options are different from the usual cuisine, for atmosphere the plants are natural/not fake. The bad: The staff feel cold and unengaging, no smile, barely looking at you which felt unwelcoming or uninterested. The portions may leave you wanting more. The front outdoor seating area can use better chairs and tables, they are flimsy, also the patio leaves tables shaky and uneven.

05/08/2026: An excellent café, especially for a special breakfast or a special occasion. The food and coffee were lovely, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. It’s such a charming place with a lovely atmosphere. Definitely a place I would come back to! 💛
