The best restaurants in Dublin

06/12/2025: A uniquely calm cafe set within a peaceful cultural space. The surroundings naturally encourage slowing down, and the seating supports longer visits without discomfort. It’s ideal for extended breaks where you want quiet, reflection and a relaxed pace away from the city’s rush.

20/11/2025: Very delicious food and fresh as well and the service was amazing very good staff

24/02/2026: Our 1st time here and what a lovely place it is! The welcome is warm and the room is lovely and warm too and very nicely decorated. The food is delicious. Beautiful chicken in both the sweet and sour and the curry. Colourful dishes with very fresh veg. Very decent portions. The house white is very drinkable. Our server was very professional.

20/02/2026: Really nice and tasty food, I really recommend this place, staff always friendly and customer service 5 stars

08/09/2025: The café is well-furnished, but lacks a pleasant ambiance. You're partly seated in the building's through traffic area.

04/09/2025: Great service in a cosy environment

19/07/2025: As we are creatures of habit, we strolled in to Starbucks for a coffee and a blueberry muffin. The service was excellent, very polite. Food and coffee were great. Great spot to sit and relax when out and about.

21/05/2025: 2 beautiful Bernese enjoying Starbucks

20/09/2025: Very cute café with cozy foods/drinks.

08/09/2025: I found it to be a very nice place, and the coffee was great.

02/03/2026: I was pleased by the friendliness of the staff. The atmosphere in the lobby area is cozy and luxurious. Breakfast was good, and the gated private parking is a great addition. Overall, a very positive experience at Pembroke Townhouse.

01/03/2026: Loved everything. Great value for money and delicious breakfast

05/02/2026: Been here a couple of times after prayer at Dublin Mosque 🤲 and usually grab takeaway — always good. But today we dined in with friends 👯‍♂️🍽️ and it hit different 😋. Tried the nihari, haleem and chicken tikka wrap 🌯🍛 — all super good and honestly took me straight back to a proper desi home 🏡🇵🇰🇮🇳. Finished it off with chai ☕✨ — perfect ending. And when your plate is completely wiped clean… you already know how good it was 😄🍽️🔥

15/12/2025: Fantastic little spot. Very welcoming, food was phenomenal and the service exceptional. What a gem.

24/07/2025: I ordered a pitta kebab and it was very good. The pitta bread was very fresh. I really recommend it.

21/07/2025: The best pizza what we ever ate. Food is lovely. Only what I didn't like.... I would like more salad in kebab( last time I didn't get any tomato, got only bit iceberg lettuce an was bit too dry) I got charged more for 3 kebabs than it said on the poster. For me those 3 extra euros means a lot on those days. Anyways I'll come back again

22/12/2025: The female employee was very polite and answered our questions kindly.

16/12/2025: Good atmosphere to meet a friend for coffee

26/12/2025: We arrived at The Port House Cava for our booking at 1pm Christmas Eve. The restaurant was empty except for one table. All the other tables were vacant. The server greeted us and immediately warned us he needed the table back at 3pm. That’s fine. We sat. We waited. The same server was down the back chatting with the kitchen over the pass. We waited a little longer, still no drinks order was coming. I decided to draw some attention to our table by going up to the empty bar. The only occupied table gave me a glance that I read as a comment on the hopeless service as they tried to get the same servers attention. He was still chatting at the pass while the only two tables were both waiting for some attention. Up to the bar he saunters, I ask if we can order some prosecco. We only have Cava he says “they are the same thing”. No there not I reply, but ok let’s have a bottle of cava and if you don’t mind 6 glasses for our table. Back at our table he produces a wine list which would have been handy when we were seated. The cava arrives. It’s barely chilled. I say nothing. Again the same server reminds us that he needs the table back at 3pm. My blood is boiling at this stage as my family as I are made feel like we are an obstruction of sorts. The food arrives and it’s delicious. Well presented. Well cooked and a delight. The first bottle of cava is empty. I’d like to order another but the server is back down at the pass chatting again. To command he attention, again I get up and venture to the bar. Another server has started his shift just before 2pm. He’s more attentive. We order another cava and a bottle of rosé. 2.40pm and the 2nd server starts clearing our table. 2.50pm and they are hovering around our table to let us know it’s almost time to go. The restaurant is still empty except for one other 3top table. The bill arrives and I settle at the bar leaving half the tip I normally would. I ask the server why the hard push on getting the table back while the restaurant is empty. He has no answer. Which points me toward the owner or manager who I know will read this review. So, dear sir or madam, your pockets would be better lined if you spent as much time on encouraging your staff to deliver a good experience rather than a punctual one. You’re employing bus boys, not servers. We’re paying for the experience of which the food is only part. The atmosphere was dead just like the bookings. What’s the different between The Port House Cava and Tapas Del Lola? The staff. The staff. The staff. You’re doing Camden Street no favours with this diabolical customer service. I strongly suggest you consider adding some charm somewhere because you’re just not at the level of some of your good neighbours.

23/12/2025: Amazing place. Prices too high.

01/08/2025: Disappointed with my order from Bell Pepper, Kimmage I work as a delivery driver, so I know how to handle food properly to avoid leaks or spills. This time, I ordered for myself via pick-up — a soup and a spice bag. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. When I got home I saw that the soup was already leaking underneath, I did put it in the termal bag with support, to do not leak but still, and it didn’t taste good at all. The spice bag was shockingly small for the price, and most of the potatoes inside were undercooked and few pieces of chicken. On top of that, it was extremely spicy — far beyond what I’ve experienced before. I’ve had plenty of spice bags from other places and they’ve been amazing, but this was the first time I ordered from Bell Pepper in Kimmage, and sadly, it will also be the last. Very disappointed. I would not recommend.

18/07/2025: Ordered a thai green curry and jasmine rice for delivery, food came well before the estimated delivery time, was piping hot and most importantly tasted delicious, excellent job, would highly recommend this place 😋

25/08/2025: Love this place for years. Unfortunately bar staff Steve came in pints are not the same so the customers say.

22/08/2025: Was there for all ireland football final .. didn't open untill 1230 .. can't believe they don't look for exemption for the 2 finals .. people queuing outside for 2 hours to get in ..

27/03/2026: Highly recommend. Always was and always will be a killer boozer. Cool heads and lovely service today

21/02/2026: Great live music. Drinks were good. Room was full. Server removed reservation sign from the table next to us and proceeded to put it on our table saying we had to vacate in the next 10 minutes. Our table did not have the reservation sign before we arrived and we felt like we were abruptly asked to vacate with no other seats to go too. If there was a mistake made and they needed the table we would have totally understood as both parties have worked the service industry for a long time, but the way we were asked to leave left a bad taste in our mouth.

23/03/2026: Tried a few other Romayo's, They're not bad. But for some reason, If I have time, I'll go there first. :)

19/03/2026: Yet again I asked for a bag of their. "Freshly made chips" and got a bag of deep fried mush (again!!) . They aren't capable of producing properly cooked chips so hold onto your money or go to San Marino down the road and see what real chips are supposed to be.
