The best restaurants in Dublin

11/10/2025: Great Pub. A smashing local pub in Crumlin. Good pint . Live music and a choice of lounge or bar .

25/08/2025: Brilliant local family pub, great atmosphere, especially when the butler family put on a show, although it is somewhat diminished by a certain member of staff, we wont mention any names, but he has red curly hair. 😂

14/09/2025: Simply the best breakfast in Ireland

10/08/2025: Chicken was pink inside and cold girl working in place was nearly sitting on my shoulder when I asked to see the menu again an kept asking why the child not eating the chicken absolute muck never again

30/12/2025: Best burger place in town. Burgers were made with juicy and tender meat.

30/12/2025: A place that doesn't demand attention, and perhaps that's why it deserves it all. You come here for a proper smash burger, probably the best in Dublin—even if no one will ever say it out loud. The sandwiches are opulent and uncompromising: juicy meat, perfect crust, generously oozing cheese. Burgers that get your hands dirty and leave a lasting impression. The fries, thin and crispy, are impeccable for those who love this style. They don't use pork, but what they do with beef and poultry is top-notch. There's real substance, not just aesthetics. Unlike other city chains that invest heavily in branding, storytelling, and stage presence, here the focus is entirely on the dish. And it's a choice that pays off, for those who recognize quality. The place has a rugged and authentic soul, but there's a practical aspect that deserves attention: the smell of fried food is very persistent and risks ruining the experience. An improvement on this front would help further enhance an already excellent gastronomic offering. I keep returning without hesitation: for me, it remains the best burger in Dublin, even if few are ready to acknowledge that. 🍔

29/11/2025: What a tremendous tavern serving stouts and perfect porters. If Dublin is a lady, Grace's is the corsage on her wrist!

02/11/2025: Nice staff and service but a trad group essentially displaced us by slowly moving into our seats, shoving our belongings down and eventually telling us to move so we had to leave despite being customers for a couple of hours. Beware of this if you’re a younger person, it felt territorial

18/08/2025: Great atmosphere yesterday in there for Oasis, real pity about the older gentleman working behind the bar. Ive never seen someone as rude behind a bar, was there all afternoon and watched him have a go at 2 or 3 people for nothing, called one customer a gobshite. I couldnt believe it, he has to own the place for the way he carried on. Crazy, no way an employee would have been let carry on the way he did.

13/08/2025: A great bar. Didn't have the food but it looked lovely. Pub and toilets are spotless. Bar staff attentive and engaging.

16/12/2025: Food is very good and the place has a nice atmosphere. However, paying 7 euros for a pint of Guinness, you would at least expect it to be a decent pour. I would excuse one bad pint, but I ordered 3 pints in a row, from three different bar staff and each pour was progressively worse than the previous. Guinness is one of the most popular, if not most popular drink orders. The place is lovely, but at least get the basics right and teach staff how to pour a pint of Guinness properly.

10/12/2025: Walked in on a Wednesday night, place wasn’t busy at all but the bartender was so slow to serve us, mainly because he was to busy trying to be cool for his mates. We order 3 whiskey sours that tasted so bad. We just left without finishing our drinks. Don’t recommend it!!

04/01/2026: A lovely Pub, Staff Very efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend this pub.

04/12/2025: Great pub, friendly service, fantadtic music on a Wednesday night!

03/01/2026: Got a spice bag off of deliveroo and it was the worst spice bag I’ve ever had. The chips were soggy and chicken was very clearly from the freezer. We counted two pieces of pepper and onion in the whole bag and to top it off they gave me two spice bags. Coke was also gone off and flat in the tin. The curry sauce had separated in the container and tasted like O’Donnell’s cheap sauce from the supermarket. Something so simple could be done so much better :(

31/12/2025: Shi Wang Yun, Authentic Chinese Flavors in Ireland Who understands?! Discovering Shi Wang Yun, a hidden gem of a Chinese restaurant in Ireland, was absolutely divine! The freshly fried dough sticks are golden and crispy, with a fluffy, honeycomb-like texture inside, paired with silky sweet soy milk—it instantly transports you back to a breakfast stall in China. The oil-splashed biangbiang noodles are thick and chewy, with hot oil and fragrant chili powder mixed with minced garlic, so delicious you can't help but slurp them up; the pork pies have a crispy crust and a juicy, tender filling—every bite is pure bliss. From soy milk and fried dough sticks in the morning to Sichuan, Hunan, and Northeastern Chinese dishes at lunchtime, this restaurant infuses every dish with the essence of Chinese life. Eating this in a foreign land is truly therapeutic!

09/04/2026: My parents and I went to this place for dinner twice: the first time we ordered a charcuterie board, a vegetarian lasagna, and the soup of the day; the second time my parents ordered an Irish beef burger and I ordered a chicken burger. Everything we ordered was delicious, although I only took a picture of the burger. The quality of the food was evident in every bite. Furthermore, the service was excellent; everyone was very attentive and friendly. I'll be back!

03/02/2026: Popped here for a Sunday brunch….never again! The food was awful, the service was rude and unprofessional, noticed an hair in my food, reported to a waiter an Indian guy I think, the response was shocking! Saying that is that quite usual here!!! Crazy! I won’t came back never again.

19/10/2025: Nice coffee but are we really only offering takeaway cups in 2025?

07/10/2025: Easily the best scones in Dublin. The Parlour in Blackrock is a little gem — great coffee, friendly chat, and a perfect spot to sit back and enjoy by the sea. The scones are traditional and done right, served with the all-important Dairygold (one for each side, as it should be) and proper jam. One of my wife and my favourite spots to wind down — simple, classic, unbeatable.

15/12/2025: Food here is awesome. Their burgers and kebabs are amazing…

08/08/2025: Food was horrendous and expensive 17:50 for a collection for one. Dry chips, cheap small cheap sausages, lumpy microwave curry sauce.

02/07/2025: Dahlia is amazing here at the beechwood location! She’s so friendly and easy going every time I come in! Makes my day! The smoothies are so good here and I have to say she makes them better than the other branches I’ve been to!

21/06/2025: DO NOT try Turmeric Sunrise! The packaging is deceptive! It's disgusting and unacceptable. Disgusting.

23/12/2025: Hi y'all Small little place, hard to get parking, expensive... But...nice...ish

08/12/2025: Used to be regular in killester supervalu. This one pales in comparison. But only option in walkable distance.

23/03/2026: A big mug of coffee. And a seat that's not precariously minimalist but confidently, comfortably sittable in. From Pearse Station to College Green, tho coffee shops be two a penny, you'll find these two of life's comforts nowhere but Starbucks. All other contenders on the block are small, with a sprinkling of tiny stools. The few with actual chairs are full and the chairs don't look very comfortable anyway. And it helps that in Starbucks both the service and the tunes are smooth 👌

08/02/2026: Staff where so nice and friendly would make u want to go back all the time

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
