The best restaurants in Dublin

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.

03/10/2025: The best coffee around the area im a big fan of the imbibe beans they use and they get it right every time. Massive shoutout to becca who always has a smile and gets the coffee order for you even before you reach the top of the queue. Excellent barista

03/10/2025: Great coffee and amazing staff in the coffee dock , wouldnt go anywhere else 😁

25/04/2026: I had a really disappointing experience at this bar. I came all the way from Canada expecting a fun night out, but instead we were turned away at the door without a clear reason. It felt like our friend was unfairly singled out and treated differently, which was frustrating and uncomfortable. The whole situation left a bad impression, and it completely ruined our plans for the evening. Based on this experience, I definitely won’t be coming back. Really unfortunate, because we were looking forward to it.

08/03/2026: Cracking atmosphere. Needs another bar though..

14/05/2026: maybe the cake is good. but brunch is horrible, i love meat but i really cant eat the,meat in here. and latte with glass, in my opinion is not coffee, it is look like wire juice.

13/05/2026: The Italian food at lunch wasn't very good.

06/05/2026: Yeah, Momos is back! Food is back, taste is back! I am there regular since it opens, but I have to say I have never been so disappointed for the past few months, which I have learnt after that they changed owner! Now everything is back to it used to be !

01/05/2026: This was my first time trying it, and the food was absolutely delicious.

07/04/2025: Gran relación calidad-precio y encantador estado de ánimo relajado en el lugar. La única deducción se debió al hecho de que estábamos sentados cerca de la puerta y teníamos una brisa fría cada vez que abría. Debido a la comida fabulosa que era bastante a menudo como costumbre era rápido

25/02/2025: Comida sabrosa y un servicio educado y bueno! Pasamos por un poco de almuerzo y los cuatro disfrutamos! La comida llegó rápido y grandes porciones!

25/10/2025: Ciao ragazzi, Brilliant food where you get good value for money. Good to start your night in temple bar. Worth a visit! Au mol prelä Piacere!

24/10/2025: Forgot one of our orders.complete indifference shown.nice food that arrived.

08/05/2026: Please stop playing music, your pub doesn't need it.

07/05/2026: I've been to Peter's Pub quite a few times now, and every time it feels like every other pub in Dublin is completely packed, I always end up there again, either at the beginning or end of my trip. And the crazy thing is: I've ALWAYS been able to get a seat there. No matter what time it is. I don't know if it's Irish magic or just divine timing. Plus, they serve a really delicious Guinness and the atmosphere is relaxed, without all the tourist chaos. But the best thing is sitting outside by the barrels. You can sit there, relax, drink your Guinness, and watch the lost souls who've had 14 pints too many and are now trying to argue with a trash can. A truly quintessential Dublin experience. For me, it's definitely the number one pub in Dublin.

03/05/2026: Classic cuisine solidly prepared and presented. There is a chef in the kitchen! I enjoyed two meals; The shrimp and avocado salad, simple and fresh. The seabass special had two fresh filets with skin on. Very nice. French onion soup and roast rump of lamb excellent. You can’t go wrong here that’s why I retuned for a second meal. Staff very attentive.

31/03/2026: Highly recommend visiting Toddy’s in the Gresham Hotel on O’Connell Street. We went as a large family group for food and drinks and it was amazing. Our waiter Lucas was fantastic, a great professional and so friendly. The food and drink were really good. I went for the vegan pasta and it was delicious. Go check it out if you are in the area. Great for large groups!

03/11/2025: Very good service and great food quality! Recommend 🫶

29/10/2025: Really great variety of food, great soups and great coffee also. This is a very nice atmosphere here and Staff are very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

01/01/2026: Great expresso coffee. Appreciated the fairness of the price of a single shot expresso. Its was perfect served in a porcelan cup and very good quality. The croissants where very good, fresh and crunchy. The ambiance is relaxed and cosy and enjoyed the decor with paintings on the wall and a map of the Suppliers in an outstanding frame. It has our reccomendation. Well done to the owners and Er Buchetto team.

01/01/2026: I used to go here regularly after work or sometimes with my friend on a Saturday afternoon when I lived nearby. I always had the toasted panino with roasted aubergine, roasted pepper, melted mozzarella and pesto, my dream food. If I had only one meal in life I think I’d seriously consider this. The coffee was top class. I’m the hardest person to please when it comes to coffee so this is saying something. The lady who owns the caffe I remember was such a hard working lady, so passionate and down to earth. I’m going to make the trip this week to pop in. I can’t wait. Great to see small local cafe’s come out tops 👍

22/11/2025: My girlfriend bought me some sfogliatelle with hazelnut cream. They taste like plastic, stay away from it. The brand's name is Fimardolci.

22/09/2025: Good quality foods and some really nice organic options would recommend

01/04/2026: Amazing Brazilian sushi style, the staff are very friendly as well. Love it

31/01/2026: Very disappointing experience. I placed an online order and waited 1 hour and 30 minutes for it, even though the app initially estimated a maximum preparation time of 35 minutes. The restaurant kept delaying the order without any clear explanation. This was extremely frustrating and shows a lack of organization and respect for customers’ time.

25/11/2025: I was here few times: always as drop in when hectic traffic- to wait for better way- with my grandson. Such warm atmosphere, smiling and friendly staff - I am very happy here when spending few hours.. and.. a beef! .. just melting in the mouth.. quiet music…. What else one would dream when outside windy and traffic jam for hours? BIG THANK YOU!!!

23/11/2025: Good hotel. Very friendly staff (in Ireland, so what do you expect), good room size, quiet, and good location if you are visiting Park West. Quite a distance from the centre of Dublin, although there is a bus that is inexpensive.
