The best restaurants in Dublin

16/06/2026: The old lady that works there (I think is the manager) is very rude to everyone even the customers and every time she makes my coffee is cold.

03/06/2026: I've been working on and off across the road for the past 2.5 years and Cafe Sol always delivers, thanks again!

03/06/2026: Great place to stay, not too grand or pretentious, more of a relaxed luxury. Great breakfast also. Would not mind a more knowledgeable staff

02/06/2026: Fabulous! We had our wedding here and it couldn't have gone better. Every single member of staff was exceptional from Laura who coordinated the event to the bar staff, reception, the cleaning staff who gave my little nephew cookies on the house and Pierre who gave my partner a shirt coz he forgot his 🤦🏼‍♀️ Just an overall lovely experience, we were made feel so special. Would highly recommend The Dylan for a wedding x

22/08/2026: It is the place I go everytime for a lunch after/before a train journey. I recommend for solo travellers, a nice break after a train ride or a nice lunch before a train ride.

29/07/2026: Don’t really know where to start, first time in Dublin and being English first thing I though of was an Irish breakfast we’ve tried a few whilst we’ve been here, and the rest have been brilliant, see decent reviews on here and thought I’d give it a go. Food was rubbery everything was cold. Coffee wasn’t great. The only half decent thing on the plate was a lukewarm hash brown. On my next return to Dublin I will definitely avoid this place

27/08/2026: Very bad service. Said on the website it would take 30 min - took over an hour. Rang dominoes to find out why it was so long and was lied too and given bad information. Worst experience I’ve ever had with a take away. Will Not be going back and I live very close.

12/08/2026: The food was so beautiful and the guests were treated very kind and respectful

01/06/2026: Excellent food with friendly polite service.

19/05/2026: First time eating here today and it was exceptional food was delicious really fresh and great presentation lovely flavours service was very good will definitely go back again

09/08/2026: Went here the night of football All-Ireland. Supervisor changed channel on all TV's when Sunday Game came on because Mayo fans were too loud. Doubt that ever happened when Dublin won!! All GAA fans should stay away from here!!! KOH.

29/07/2026: Security didn’t allow some patrons to enter because they were the wrong “skin colour”, beyond appalling. When questioned, they said they didn’t need to provide any explanation. I left the pub and needless to say we don’t be going back.

09/07/2026: The food was delicious, the people were so kind and helpful, and the atmosphere was amazing. I would definitely recommend coming here!

30/06/2026: Food was amazing! Got the carrot cake and ceaser salad and both were fresh and flavorful.

16/08/2026: Great coffee! I asked for extra hot and it wasn’t burnt. Beautiful latte art too

26/06/2026: So glad I stumbled across it while walking, coffee is amazing

24/04/2026: Terrible customer service and a very unsafe location, if staying in Dublin! Strongly advise to avoid.

22/04/2026: A small, 3-star hotel in an excellent location. It has been renovated and offers reasonable rates. Bus, tram, and train stops are just steps away. Temple Bar is about a 15-minute walk. The room was fine, clean, and the staff was very attentive, bilingual, and helpful. They provide a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar, sweetener, and biscuits, which are replenished as needed. The bathroom has soap, shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner. The towels are good quality. There's a hairdryer, a small but functional wardrobe, and a safe. The only downside is that the bus station is directly across the street, and you can sometimes hear noise. It might also give the impression of being a somewhat unsafe area because there's a homeless shelter nearby; people wander around but don't bother anyone. To get to and from the airport, you can use the Dublin Express, the Xpress, or bus 41, all of which stop a short walk from the hotel.

02/08/2026: Meh. Not very flavoursome food but ok. Donburi unagi (eel): Decent teriyaki style sauce on the eel and the fish was nice but overall it was so bland. Small bit of wakame which was tasteless and then cubes of yellow something which was even more tasteless. Rice was also somehow not good. Fast service, haven’t tried the rest but wouldn’t be rushing back at those prices and lack of flavour.

28/06/2026: I visited this restaurant recently and unfortunately my experience was disappointing. The food arrived cold. The duck dish was not good, although the kimchi was acceptable. I also ordered takoyaki, but I was not confident that the octopus was fresh. For drinks, I specifically requested a cold drink with ice because of the hot weather. However, the drink was served warm and only had a small amount of ice. I don't mind paying extra if additional ice costs more, because I wanted a properly cold drink. Oh yeah, i did request additional ice. The service was also not very friendly. I understand the staff may have been tired because I placed my order around 9pm, close to closing time maybe. However, if the restaurant prefers to stop serving customers earlier, it would be better to clearly communicate that rather than making customers feel unwelcome through facial expressions or attitude. Overall, I did not enjoy my experience and would not return based on this visit.

09/09/2026: The good: The place is clean, there is both indoor and outdoor seating and some of the food options are different from the usual cuisine, for atmosphere the plants are natural/not fake. The bad: The staff feel cold and unengaging, no smile, barely looking at you which felt unwelcoming or uninterested. The portions may leave you wanting more. The front outdoor seating area can use better chairs and tables, they are flimsy, also the patio leaves tables shaky and uneven.

05/08/2026: An excellent café, especially for a special breakfast or a special occasion. The food and coffee were lovely, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. It’s such a charming place with a lovely atmosphere. Definitely a place I would come back to! 💛

28/08/2026: Friendly staff, lovely food and excellent service. Really toddler and child friendly too, they always have a hello and welcome for everyone who comes in.

26/08/2026: Great service and lovely food everytime we come here couldn’t recommend enough☺️

25/08/2026: Dreadful place . Should really close . Wet dirty toilets , actually no toilets at all ! Kids using it to play ‘ phones ‘ !!! No ice on a hot day !! Service terrible and atmosphere awful

15/08/2026: Only one star for service, there's only one toilet available and always the queue to use it.

05/08/2026: Horrible , staff don't have attitude , food overprice

04/08/2026: I ordered a Southern Style Chicken Box and it was incredible. Plus, they were incredibly punctual; it was ready in no time. I'll definitely be back to try other things. Highly recommended!

18/06/2025: Always consistently amazing food. I go here every week and have never been disappointed. Staff are always friendly and attentive. Highly recommend

17/06/2025: Enjoyed a really tasty meal here. Will definitely be returning. Service was good and the food was super, a really enjoyable dining experience. All of the group enjoyed their food.
