The best restaurants in Dublin

16/02/2025: The experience at this restaurant was, honestly, surreal and disappointing. We went to dinner on Valentine's Day with a reservation made in advance, expecting a special night, but we found terrible organization and careless service. Upon arrival, we reviewed the menu and ordered a smoked salmon starter, two main meat dishes (lamb and beef), some potatoes as a side, and two special Valentine's cocktails. 20 minutes after ordering, the waiter informed us that the two main dishes we had chosen were no longer available. Our surprise was even greater when we saw that the rest of the menu only offered options of fish, pasta or vegan dishes. We are not fans of fish, but given the lack of options and with all the restaurants full for the date, we decided to stay. After 40 minutes they brought us the starter, which was so bad that we couldn't finish it. Meanwhile, the cocktails still didn't arrive, and we had to remind the waiter. Finally, after 50 minutes of waiting, the main courses arrived along with the cocktails. The cocktails looked nothing like the photo on the menu and tasted horrible, sour and artificial. Considering they cost €14 each, it was a total disappointment. The main courses were simply passable, but we did not enjoy them as it was not our original choice, but rather a necessity due to the lack of options. To make matters worse, the potatoes we ordered never arrived. When I mentioned to the waiter how poorly organized the dinner was and the restaurant's lack of foresight on such an important date, he told us that the problem was that we had booked "very late." This is unacceptable: a good restaurant must calculate the available food well and not run out of meat in the middle of service. They tried to compensate us with a complimentary dessert, but to our surprise, they didn't have one of the desserts we wanted either. It already seemed like a joke. The worst surprise was when we received the bill: they had included the potatoes that were never served to us. In short, this has been the worst experience we have had in a restaurant. Not only because of the food, but because of the terrible management, the bad service and the fact that they ruined our Valentine's celebration. I wouldn't recommend it at all.

13/01/2025: We had dinner on New Year's Eve 2024 and the truth is that it was a success. It is a small restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, there will only be about 10 tables. The service is very good, since they quickly attended to our reservation and offered us the special menu for that night. The prices of the dishes are approximately €20-30, and we had a fish similar to monkfish, a risotto that was exquisite, and a chocolate dessert.

08/03/2025: We reserved tables for the celebration 2 months ago. Everything wasn't organized well. 55 euros to the main course and the dessert. They didn't give all desserts, but when we asked about that the waiter was angry and rude. The money has no value for the food and service.

05/03/2025: This is one of two restaurants in Dublin that have excellent sashimi. The taste is divine. Perfectly cut and extremely fresh fish and rice.

The worst 🤮 takeaway in Dublin 18

26/01/2025: Beautiful, relaxed cocktail bar that is a blessed relief from the over-crowded bars of Temple Bar. Excellent cocktails, albeit not cheap. Staff are always very pleasant and will make cocktails that are not on the (short) menu.

23/12/2024: Great little cocktail bar with wonderful atmosphere and friendly staff! You can tell the cocktails are thoughtfully crafted

06/03/2025: Great little spot in the heart of Dublin. Perfect place to grab lunch on the go and quickly.

02/02/2025: Small noodle bar, food tastes good, service is fast

27/03/2025: I highly recommend McCabe's. In a world becoming more and more fancy this is family deli experience I was looking for (travelling alone, just looking for a good Irish breakfast without to much bells and whistles). Even coffee includes. Will come back if around again.

17/11/2024: Great staff, excellent sandwich and coffee.

07/12/2024: We called ahead to get a last minute table with our baby and were surprised at how lovely and accommodating the staff were even though they were busy with Christmas parties bustling in. We had just been asked to leave Harry Byrnes, (we didn’t realise they no longer serve food and are over 21s) so the friendly welcome in out of the rain was so appreciated. The gentleman from Village Pizza had organised a table for us in the pub, with plenty of space for the pram and a high chair. We ordered two pizzas which were so delicious. There was a bit of a wait but I’m not surprised and they were well worth it. Best pizza we’ve had, really hit the spot. Perfectly cooked with a beautiful chewy crust. Cannot wait to go back. Thanks for a lovely experience

07/12/2024: Delicious pizza and super nice, friendly service 👌🏼 I took chorizo with fresh basil leaves- definitelly reccomand! :)

22/02/2025: Pedimos escoger una mezcla de fideos, albóndigas de pollo y otros trozos. Sus bolas de pollo han cambiado y ya no contienen la cantidad sustancial de pollo que era solo rebozar con un poco de pollo en la punta de los dedos. Sus chips picantes eran de buen tamaño y sabor. El costo también ha aumentado y la calidad se ha reducido. Llevan 30 años haciendo pedidos y han notado el descenso en los últimos tiempos.

14/02/2025: chicken stale. the taste was weird, the 3 different products that contains chicken has the same taste. I usually order at this restaurant but today the meal was very disappointed. I am feeling stomach ache.

13/03/2025: Great dhop for Coffee, food and a chat.
