The best restaurants in Dublin

24/12/2025: Good coffee, good service. The no substitution on food was pretty poor for a standard café

23/11/2025: The mexican eggs were so delicious, and the people I was with enjoyed their brekkies too, pancakes and a mini irish. Coffee was done beautifully, though it was on the pricier side. Cute cozy little spot!

03/08/2025: Best coffee in Dublin! The lads are really sound too 👌

02/08/2025: Love the place, coffee and the vibe

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.

29/11/2025: Excellent meal this evening at Scotts, Charte and Sinead made it special, superb wine insights by Charte!

29/11/2025: Didn’t have the stone steak this time which would have given it 5 for food!

20/11/2025: Delicious food and great service! This was our last restaurant after traveling around Ireland for 12 days and it was a perfect final dinner!

14/11/2025: After my graduation ceremony, we went to the Liberties Gate Bar, and it was such a lovely experience. I didn’t pay much attention to the interior, but the service and cocktails were genuinely excellent. Our bartender Muhammed Enes Orel made fantastic drinks. I had a Pornstar Martini, which was delicious, and after asking he even explained why it’s served with a prosecco shot on the side. My brother and my boyfriend ordered whiskey-based cocktails (not usually my taste), but they were both absolutely thrilled with theirs. Super friendly service, great drinks, and the perfect place to celebrate a special day.

03/01/2026: Terrible service. Staff were unhelpful and uninterested, and the waiting time was ridiculous. Definitely not worth the hassle.

12/11/2025: Food was very yummy. It is refreshing to find vegeterian options where the tofu actually tastes like it was cooked with care. Price was also reasonable. Looking forward to ordering again in the future

23/03/2026: Spacious and inexpensive An English chain known for its affordable drinks and food. All in a large, historic establishment. They even have their own app for ordering and paying without leaving your table. Their prices make them very popular. The service is good and the menu is extensive, suitable for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's good.

22/03/2026: The place is good, a lot of places to seat in, bar in the first and ground floor, staff friendly, very busy so takes time to get your drink and food. But all good.

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

18/08/2025: Good brekkie. Drinks should arrive a bit quicker but apart from that lovely job. Don't sit in the back on a hot day.

10/06/2025: Always lovely food. Great staff very friendly..clean premises

25/05/2025: No matter how I think about it, the taste is not worthy of the price.

16/05/2025: Incredible burger, staff and atmosphere.

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. 🌿☕🥗

15/10/2025: Today I ordered a flat white (I had my own cup) and 2 chocolate covered dates and asked to pay 7.80 EUR, did not give attention and paid. Flat white costs 4.20 (with your own cup 4.00), each date costs 1.50. I then saw there is a coffee and cake afternoon deal (2pm-4pm) for 5 EUR. I kindly asked barista if dates were not included in the deal. She said they are included. It did not make sense and asked if she can explain me the breakdown of my bill: she said the cake deal price has gone up to 6.50 EUR today and one of the dates was included in the deal on my bill. I was negatively surprised with the price increase but did not comment on it. I then said but the dates are cheaper outside of the deal and I dont get why we are including one of them as a part of deal if it does not make total lower. If we take all products individually the total comes to 7 EUR, I dont get why I should pay more because they applied the deal where they should not. Barista kindly said she cannot change the rules. To be fair I am not blaming the barista as she was kind and she even offered some pastries later on to customers (including me) as everyone asked about price increase on afternoon deal. The whole thing just does not make sense.

09/10/2025: Great coffee and a nice place to sit outside and people watch!

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

08/12/2025: I had the gingerbread espresso and it was fabulous! Anju took really good care of us. I will definitely return!

08/12/2025: Anju made us the best gingerbread coffee at Nespresso in Dublin! Love coming here to get Nespresso!

23/02/2026: Ordered for pick up and arrived 20 minutes early. The food was already bagged which meant it was all cold already and it was freezing by the time I got home. But the staff were lovely

22/01/2026: Got the chicken biryani delivered. It was cold and very overpowered flavour of star aniseed. The chicken was good quality though.
