The best restaurants in Dublin

31/01/2026: I had very high hopes. It was disappointing. The pasta nothing unusual. The bolognese came in a clump and were somewhere warm. The carbonara was ok. The place had a specific smell, and not a pleasant one.

23/01/2026: Regarding the service: The welcome was pleasant and quick. The ordering process was explained to us, and the waiter was very kind. The food: We ordered two dishes (Beef Cheek Tagliatelle and Garlic Prawns & Chilli). They were delivered on time. The beef cheek had very good meat, but the pasta needed more cooking time as it was slightly undercooked. The Garlic Prawns pasta was somewhat oily and only had four prawns. Overall, the dishes were reasonable in terms of price and portion size. We also ordered a dessert (tiramisu), which was very good—well balanced and fresh. 4/5 Atmosphere of the place: The place looks clean, with pleasant music, but it lacks character—everything is black, simple, and minimalist. 2/5

03/01/2026: Michaela looked after us Booked a table for 7, service charge added We went with the Early Bird 3 Course Meal €30.95 Decent choices, good value I went with the Spicy Chicken Wing Starter, Satay Chicken Curry 1/2 & 1/2 with the Malteeser Cheesecake option Our only hiccup was the dessert, one of our guests has an allergy to strawberry and was given strawberry. This was rectified and an alternative provided. Please make sure to cater for all, if some mentions an allergy then write down allergy. If you need the chef to come out to the table, then get the chef! Other than that, friendly courteous staff and thank you to Michaela for an enjoyable night.

27/12/2025: It was a lovely evening with friends for a pre Christmas get together and definitely worth a return visit

20/12/2025: Online it says they open at 7:30am on Saturday yet when I went at 7:35 I was told they do not open until 8am.

29/09/2025: As a regular visitor to Butlers in Ballsbridge I’m writing this review as a very disappointed customer. I order extra hot, hot chocolate. Nearly every time I receive it ,it’s lukewarm. Not even hot. It’s either far too milky or too much lumps of chocolate. The staff need more training and the outdoor seating area is often very dirty .

14/10/2025: Great pizza, keep going back for more of their Cajun pizza ❤️

07/09/2025: The best pizza i have had in Dublin so far! Especially if you are looking for flavors close to back home, you have got to try this. Owner is very friendly and recommended we try the Chicken Cajun flavor. Generous on the toppings, size and great overall pizza! Worth the price as well and most importantly HALAL!

17/11/2025: Just had the smoke cod and chips, best I ever had, so fresh and tasty.

14/10/2025: Bought 3 Doner Kebab,are the biggest I ever got for this price, amazing taste , amazing price

05/01/2026: Beautiful food, great Guinness and friendly. Thank you 👍

30/11/2025: I didnt have food , but love this pub , friendly ,warm , very good service

30/10/2025: I ordered the biscoff brownie and biscoff cookie sandwhich, the brownie tasted stale like it had been sitting out for a good while, the cookie sandwich was nice but didnt taste like biscoff at all, very little biscoff inside cookie, mostly just this cream filling.

06/10/2025: We bought a cake for my sons first birthday and I couldn’t of been happier how it turned out the size of the cake the price of the cake and how nice it was could not argue about anything we will defiantly be ordering here again

26/06/2025: Tiny, comfy, close to the sea and the 2 guys there are so lovely! Specially TUK 💘 He's lovely!

20/06/2025: The service was below expectations. There was no Wi-Fi available, and it was unclear who was managing the facility. Overall, a disappointing experience.

20/11/2025: I absolutely loved Crowbar during my trip to Dublin. The atmosphere inside was welcoming and the bartenders were friendly. The prices are reasonable. I didn't go to the nightclub section of the bar, but according to a friend, it's pretty good. I recommend it!

02/11/2025: Accidentally spilled my pint after 30 seconds of buying it. Explained the bartender that it was a mistake and asked if maybe she could replace it. Instead she nastly said “you have to pay again, obviously” in a mean manner. Like I understand that but that was not nice to respond in such demeanour, especially the “obviously” part. Other bars would have replaced it for free.

16/01/2026: Had breakfast it was delicious staff were very helpful and friendly definitely looking forward to going there again

02/01/2026: great food and coffee just off st stephen’s green. the latte art was so pretty it was sad to ruin it haha

21/11/2025: Coffee is delicious and staff are friendly, on a nice day its great sitting at the benches having the chats with other patrons.

07/11/2025: Found out my misses ordered from here got a sandwich, coffee and sausage roll. All I can say is don’t waste your money in this place!!!! Coffee she got was 300ml of hot water, sandwich if you can even call it that was anaemic chicken on 2 slices of bread and the “sausage roll” should contain more than a trace amount of meat!!!! Near €5 for a sausage roll that’s 99% pastry and is the size of a Golfball. Do yourself and everyone you know a favour and never go here!!!! Whole order was nearly €25 delivered. I’d sooner burn the money than return.

07/01/2026: Good staffs and really good food

01/01/2026: Should be renamed the onion house Ordered 4 main courses 3 of which were over 50% onion .. brutal food I’ll never eat here again and the price is shocking at €17 for a main … well you know what you can do with your onions next time .. shove them where the sun don’t shine

14/12/2025: Lovely setting and great staff. Food was mediocre, fries way too greasy and the burger was cremated with an odd smoky flavour. Wings were amazing though.

06/12/2025: Place was crazy with people attending Christmas parties, but the lady wondered us was brilliant and made sure our experience was top notch. Food was very nice and would recommend

29/01/2026: Very good burritos at a great price! I completely reccomend it!

27/01/2026: Blessan was great, helped serve our whole crew

15/01/2026: Delicious food and super-friendly staff! Will definitely visit again.

14/01/2026: Very nice place to meet friends and have a meal. Recommended for a place to Go.
