The best restaurants in Dublin

26/09/2026: The food was authentic, similar to what you'd find on holiday! The service was very friendly.

21/09/2026: The food was good, but the way we were treated towards the end really ruined the experience!!! Staff came over four or five times “you finished?” asking if we were finished and trying to clear the table while we were still eating. At no point did anyone tell us there was a time limit. Then, they brought us the bill and said they needed the table for other customers. After we paid, a member of staff came over and told us we needed to finish up because we had been there for more than 1 hour and 45 minutes. This was literally the first time we had heard anything about a time limit in my whole life!!!!!!! I completely understand that restaurants get busy and need to turn tables. If we’dbeen told when we arrived that we had the table for 1h45, that would have been absolutely fine. But you can’t expect customers to follow a time limit they’ve never been told about. When I pointed this out, I was told, “I don’t need to tell you. When you come into town, this is normal.” I mean ???? What? That response was honestly what bothered me the most….! I’ve eaten at plenty of restaurants in Dublin and I’ve never assumed there was an unspoken 1h45 rule. If you have a time limit, just tell your customers when they sit down!!!! We would have happily respected it!!!!!! Instead, we were repeatedly rushed and then made to feel like we’d done something wrong for breaking a rule we didn’t even know existed. Really disappointing way to end what had otherwise been a nice meal.

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.

19/09/2026: I see that the reviews have declined and I'm not surprised. Today, I ordered a pizza online. I left a note on the order not to burn or brown the base of the pizza. I also rang after placing the order and the person who took the call lied to me, and assured me that it had been prepared, they were awaiting the delivery driver and the pizza had not been browned. The pizza arrived and again, it was clearly burned/browned along the base. This is the third time this has happened. I've left a request with SP, who took my second call to return the pizza, for the Manager to call me, but that will never happen. Very disappointing experience, again! This place used to be excellent but it's declined terribly within the last 12 months. Even the ingredients are of a lesser quality. If you're reading this, order from Cao Pizza Ballsbridge, it's much better and more reliable. TERRIBLE experience. I'll never eat here again.

18/08/2026: Went for a brownie - salted caramel - it was really good. Got some waffel fries as a snack and they were good too

19/08/2026: brilliant service from Nicola from start to finish we will definitely be back thank you

28/07/2026: After a long overnight flight this was our first real meal. Excellent and the staff were super friendly. Highly recommended. Breakfast until 10:30.

24/09/2026: Such a lovely, cozy place with a really peaceful atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to relax, unwind, and enjoy some good food and quiet time. Warm, welcoming, and very comfortable, definitely a place I’d happily come back to. Highly recommended!

17/09/2026: I’ve got the smoked salmon & poached eggs on avocado toast as breakfast… it was gorgeous, delicious. Thank you!

12/09/2026: Atmosphere inside is nice and service is quick but as I was standing outside an older man who looked like a bouncer/security guard shoved me out of the way. Did not attempt to apologize or anything. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.

03/09/2026: Shocking Guinness. Bar staff obviously havent a clue.

15/06/2026: Just want to say the lad with the mullet behind the counter was so sound i needed a euro for my bus and offered to do cash back and he didn’t even ask for my card just gave me the euro Thank you so much

06/06/2026: Just stopped for a beer, sitting outside in the sunshine 🌞 it was very busy inside showing football match.

01/09/2026: I am highly disappointed with the food served at Konkan. Unfortunately, the name of the restaurant does not reflect the quality of food being served. Goan Prawn Curry: Honestly, are you really calling this a Goan Prawn Curry? It doesn’t even come close to what an authentic Goan prawn curry should taste like. Calling a dish by a traditional name while serving something completely different is misleading to customers. Chicken Kadai: This was equally disappointing. I genuinely have to question whether the kitchen has chefs who are familiar with authentic Indian cuisine. Just because some customers may not be familiar with Indian food does not mean anything can be served under the name of a traditional dish. You are free to create your own versions and experiment with flavours, but then please name the dishes appropriately. If it is your own interpretation or innovation, say so. Otherwise, if you use the name of a traditional dish, it should reasonably meet the standard and expectations associated with that recipe. Customers should now go to YouTube to compare what they ordered with what they actually received. There is nothing wrong with innovation—but there is a problem when innovation is presented as an authentic traditional dish. Customers deserve transparency, quality, and respect for the cuisine being represented.

19/06/2026: Delicious food, great service. Would definitely recommend and will go again!

27/09/2026: Really busy but a great pitstop for hot choc

09/09/2026: I really enjoy Butler’s Chocolate Cafe. I use their app regularly, and every 10th coffee is free, which is a great bonus. My favorite touch is that you get a free chocolate with every coffee. Their mocha is excellent, rich and satisfying. They also offer a nice variety of chocolates for gifting. It’s become one of my go to spots.

08/09/2026: Really lovely Costa Coffee. The coffee is always good, and it’s a nice, relaxed place to pop in for a coffee or a bite to eat. It’s convenient being close to home, so it’s become a handy local spot for breakfast or just a quick coffee. Always enjoy coming here! ☕️😊

11/08/2026: Good service and great coffee.Love the fake grass and update of cafe

28/08/2026: the front-of-house service was genuinely poor

05/08/2026: It was my first time visiting this restaurant today, and I had such a lovely experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the staff were incredibly polite and welcoming, and the aubergine dish was absolutely gorgeous – one of the best I've had! I arrived right when they opened, and in many places, when you're the first or only customer, the staff can seem a bit distant. Here, it was the complete opposite. They made me feel genuinely welcome from the moment I walked in.

01/10/2026: A good place to enjoy the night with your friends

28/09/2026: Nice bar with good music. The concert area was nice. The sound was good. Good collection of beers. Downstairs is a nice place to watch matches and they have events happening always with music and new beers. Would recommend. Will definitely go for future concerts.

09/09/2026: luxurious, best for both business and couple's ❤️🫰

21/08/2026: Excellent Food great presentation and the ambience is very nice as tables arnt on top of each other
