The best restaurants in Dublin

20/08/2026: We look forward to our return! The rooms are spacious and the best beds/pillows we encountered on our visit to Ireland from the USA. The soap provided was lovely and the wall mounted dispensers are convenient. Noise was not a concern in the room but there is a fan provided which provides a nice soft white noise when used. The front desk staff is so friendly and helpful. They were able to accommodate a slightly early check in so we could drop our bags off before running to the airport to return our rental car. Though, early check in for the room does often require a fee. The rooms offer air conditioning which we did not encounter anywhere else even at some luxury hotels. The location is fantastic - walking distance to many shops, bars and restaurants. We loved our stay!

13/05/2026: I recommend it, good location and pleasant atmosphere of the place.

19/08/2026: The food itself seemed fine, and maybe this place works better for delivery, but the restaurant itself was in very poor condition. It felt neglected and dirty, with personal/dirty clothes left around, and we even saw spiders inside. The bathroom was also not working. Overall, the place clearly needs much better cleaning and maintenance. Very disappointing if you choose to eat there in person.

12/08/2026: A wonderfully fresh meal. The welcome was very pleasant, and they even tried to speak French, which was much appreciated. I recommend it.

20/08/2026: Special thanks to the staff for my delivery

29/07/2026: lovely place but small very friendly

08/12/2025: Lovey staff and manager Colin is a gentleman and really nice coffee 👍

06/12/2025: Amazing food the best steak sub ever I had, thanks to Collin

12/09/2026: Very good people and customers seavers

30/08/2026: Always get orders here . I had my flower shop across from Giulio's the family are all amazing The food is tops ❣️

25/05/2026: Nice coffee served by a friendly guy. I recommend.

13/05/2026: Lovely place. I go there every day. Really nice guy. Recommend it if you want to have a little seat and enjoy hot coffee by the side of river Liffey.

27/09/2026: Delicious authentic Chinese food. One of the best in Dublin

15/08/2026: Sweet suffering jesus. Do not go here. Genuinely the worst meal of my life. Duck rolls were cold in the middle, stone cold but I gave them a pass hoping the main course would be better. Turned out it was significantly worse. Fatty beef rolled in dried chilli. Blew the mouth off me. Asked if they could just wipe the dried chilli off. Somehow it came back worse. Then the ultimate annoyance, when we tried to leave having tipped (bizarrely Irish), the door handle had broken and needed a staff member to reattach in order to let customers leave. Absolutely awful.

06/10/2026: The stuff down stairs it’s a bit abusers. Depending of how you look (drunk or not) they abuse of the price, selling you drinks of €4 in €10 And if you catch them, they will acc like “it was a mistake” but it’s just a way to get tips without your concert.

04/10/2026: The waitress Anet was perfect and very attentive! Great service, atmosphere, and food!

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!

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.

25/10/2026: Flannerys is my favourite bar in Dublin City centre. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming. There’s always a great atmosphere and great music. The cocktails are delicious and very reasonably priced. Over all brilliant spacious venue suitable for whatever vibe your looking for whether it be chill drinks or dancing all night long. Highly recommend.

17/10/2026: I’ll come back just for the singer, Claudia and Joaquin. They were so sweet to us, very kind and friendly. Chatted with us, immediately found us a table even when we didn’t book one, they solved the problem right away. They didn’t make it seem like it was a drag to help us out with drinks, pictures and everything. The singer dedicated a “Can’t help falling in love” to my friend for her bachelorette. Nah, just a great vibe thanks to them. Can’t recommend it enough.

28/09/2026: Ordered an espresso martini and a margarita at the bar and the bartender rolled his eyes at us. We had to keep our eyes on him to make sure he didn’t spit in our drink. Customer suggestion: If cocktails take too much effort for your establishment then perhaps you should consider taking it off the menu.

19/09/2026: Waited at the bar as the bartender talked people at the bar and continued to do glasses. He then served someone who arrived at the bar after me a pint of Heineken. He told me to wait a moment and continued to do glasses as he told me to continue to wait to order as he put glasses back from the dishwasher. He then left the bar empty with myself and another waiting to order. When he came back he ignored us and continued chatting with the initial group at the bar gathering more glasses to to place back on the bar. On a Friday night at 9 o'clock to not be ready to take orders in a bar is awful to be frank. We waited 5 minutes with no one ordering for no service whatsoever. I don't know what the management is like in this bar to allow this service. It is non existent and as far from what an Irish bar experience should be anywhere in the world never mind on the corner of the capital in temple bar. You are shaming Irish hospitality and an entire industry that the area relys on with this behavior.

10/10/2026: Stopped for a cappuccino while out on my motorcycle and cappuccino was ordered.. it was quickly served up by cheerful staff and coffee was very nice ill be back again soon keep up the good work ladies..

13/09/2026: Nice little seating area out side ,grand spot does tea coffee etc and ice cream

12/09/2026: The staff were lovely, and I couldn’t fault them. However, the sandwiches are pre-made, which is disappointing when you’re paying premium prices. A better selection of relishes or mayo would at least allow for some personalisation. Unfortunately, I couldn’t eat the açaí bowl as it was rock-hard and icy rather than smooth, and the fruit didn’t seem fresh. As the café is located within an apartment building, there were quite a few people lingering around the area, which made me feel uncomfortable. Overall, the ambience was lacking.

07/08/2026: Acai bowl (plastic container not a bowl) barely hit the spot. This place is definately not a cafe as the name would suggest, the offering, service and layout is of an office canteen, not a brunch spot

15/09/2026: The perfect example of modern multiculturalism. Staff who don't speak the same language all arguing over an issue that they can't understand. Half cold half hot sandwiches. Long waits without queues. Love it, let's have more

14/09/2026: Thought my vanilla latte was great
