The best restaurants in Dublin

06/12/2024: Lovely chipper, great chips and fish

06/10/2024: For €8:00, the doner kebab was VERY small, expected more, especially considering other local takeaways give FAR more for the expense.

14/12/2024: Delicious Turkish coffee and a nice selection of pastries. sandwiches and treats.

18/11/2024: New cafe. Delicous turkish delicacies kamzir and savoury borek complemented by turkish tea. Too bad Coffee machine was out of order.

24/12/2024: Falta de personal, lugar caro. Muy decepcionante experiencia. ¡Ciertamente no estará allí de nuevo! ¡Lejos de una velada memorable!

23/11/2024: Disfrutamos de una breve visita a este pub. Vio un ambiente excepcional y camaradería entre el personal. Es genial ver una gran cooperación y espíritu entre ellos. Es la primera vez. Definitivamente volveré.

24/12/2024: Do visit, take time to say hello, you will be rewarded.

11/01/2025: No entiendo por qué esto obtuvo tan buenas críticas - la comida es buena, pero el servicio era atroz. Pedimos agua del grifo, pero nos informaron que no estaba disponible y el agua tranquila que recibimos estaba marcada con el nombre del restaurante. Se dedican a la venta ridícula. Cuando pedimos dos aperitivos nos preguntan si queríamos pan por cinco euros adicionales. Mi esposa pidió sopa como entrada, pero no vino con pan como era de esperar. Pedí paté de hígado de pollo y vino con pan, aunque los extremos sanos de la barra de masa madre que se había tostado. Esto es francamente malo. En general la comida era buena, pero el servicio era pobre. Esperábamos unos 30 minutos para el desierto y cuando no llegó pedimos amablemente que nos dijeran que acababa de llegar. Decidimos irnos y el Gerente se acercó y nos aconsejó que tenían que hacer un nuevo lote del ratón de chocolate caliente que ambos pedimos y que estábamos deseando. En general, mi impresión es que este restaurante no merece las críticas gordas que ha recibido. La decoración es pobre y se parece mucho a la última iteración de su predecesor.

28/11/2024: Comida tremenda, servicio agradable. No es una habitación particularmente elegante o un ambiente reverente silencioso, pero la comida era simplemente perfecta - pequeños bocados al principio y luego una sucesión de platos perfectamente concebidos y ejecutados (sin opciones, solo un menú degustación, pero se acomodan a una alergia a los mariscos) la simplicidad de los platos fue tan bien juzgada. Caro : sí pero en general una experiencia muy especial y que vale la pena el dinero para una ocasión. Bien hecho.

09/08/2024: Excellent meal at The Rustic Stone earlier this week. Starters of fresh Oysters weren't drowned in overpowering sauce, but had just a hint of dressing allowing the real flavour to shine through. Steak mains were incredibly flavoursome, beure blanc and peppercorn sauces on the side with tasty parmesan fries and perfectly cooked broccoli. Wines were good value and the service was outstanding. While I understand that this restaurant is busy at weekends, I was puzzled as to why this gem wasn't packed to the rafters mid-week! An added bonus is the cool cocktail bar upstairs. Will def go back.

03/08/2024: Delicious food with friendly service! Weekend lunch was wonderful!

02/01/2025: PSA to vegetarians / vegans the curry sauce side has chunks of beef in it and the staff do not bother to inform you even when everything else you order is from the vegan menu 👎🏻 otherwise tasty vegan options and nice cocktails.

01/01/2025: Very pleasant ambiance and staff were very kind. Quiet, well decorated and a really peaceful place for dinner. The vegan sushi and sides were nice, but frankly quite overpriced for what you get. 12.5% tip is included in the bill automatically, they do say it’s the customer’s right to refuse to pay it but would you not be mortified to ask them to remove it hahaha

01/01/2025: A great place. We had dinner on New Year's Eve and everything was delicious. Quality and good preparation, and the waiters very attentive.

31/12/2024: My three friends and I had a fabulous experience in Allta. Colin very patiently talked us through the menu and recommended a gorgeous fer servadou from his wine list to pair with our food which we thoroughly enjoyed. Every dish was superb and the atmosphere was great. Also shout-out to Paige who was lovely! Highly recommend.

18/12/2024: We just had the New Chicken Noodle soup and it was delicious. Perfect for a cold night. Light, healthy and a lovely kick to the stock. Highly recommend. Looking forward to trying the Laska soup next

06/12/2024: Kanum Thai is by far the best Thai restaurant I have tried in Dublin. The food is amazing, the portions are big and the staff are really friendly. I highly recommend this place.

15/11/2024: If I could give it 6 stars I would. Super Chinese food!

22/07/2024: Excellent good word for a really great restaurant 👌

04/12/2024: Lovely friendly welcoming staff. Warm cosy atmosphere. Food is delicious and delivered with a smile.

20/11/2024: Unfortunately this cafe has gone downhill since the new management has taken over. I was a regular here for years but standards have really dropped. Unhappy staff, items missing from the menu regularly, specials haven’t changed in weeks. I hope it goes back to the way it used to be because it was the jewel in Rialto. The atmosphere has drained from this establishment.

22/12/2024: A really lovely place full of inspiration, where you can discover many unique solutions. I was looking for a gift for a friend, and it turned out to be the perfect spot to visit. There’s a wide range of unconventional products, including home items like niche scented candles.

21/12/2024: So many cute and interesting things! It's impossible to not find something to take home with you!

25/04/2024: La Touche Cafe is awesome! The food was great, service was fast, and the prices were reasonable. I had the pasta on 5 different occasions (creamy chicken mushroom, carbonara both spectacular). And they let me switch meat/shrimp, no problem! Others enjoyed their noodle or rice stir fry, fried chicken burger, sandwiches, and salads. We often ordered the same food as the day before because it was so good. One day we got takeout and the food was still delicious and piping hot when we opened it back at the office. Limited seating, but customers were friendly and moved tables to accomodate our group of 4. Thanks for many great meals in BlueBell! (My team and I were in town for 1.5 weeks volunteering for a local organization. La Touche cafe was a quick lunch walk. We ate there daily.).

17/12/2024: Fantastic food Best pastas in Dublin and still the best

13/12/2024: Staff very lovely and a big thanks for Angelique

19/12/2024: The coffee is lovely and staff have always been very friendly but €4.30 for a “flat white” size coffee is ridiculous.

18/11/2024: The best drive through in South Dublin! Coffee and pastries are great but the service sets it apart. All the staff are so friendly and upbeat which makes it a great experience. Well done!
