The best restaurants in Dublin

13/09/2026: OMG - Such a good surprise ! Passed by late in the night ( yes they close very late ) and decided to stop , I’ve seen the place before and I’m glad I tried and I’ll definitely come back . Good quality and delicious! Was served by a very kindy girl . Good price too !

11/09/2026: Delicious ice cream!! They are so friendly

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.

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.

26/09/2026: The food was authentic, similar to what you'd find on holiday! The service was very friendly.

21/09/2026: The food was good, but the way we were treated towards the end really ruined the experience!!! Staff came over four or five times “you finished?” asking if we were finished and trying to clear the table while we were still eating. At no point did anyone tell us there was a time limit. Then, they brought us the bill and said they needed the table for other customers. After we paid, a member of staff came over and told us we needed to finish up because we had been there for more than 1 hour and 45 minutes. This was literally the first time we had heard anything about a time limit in my whole life!!!!!!! I completely understand that restaurants get busy and need to turn tables. If we’dbeen told when we arrived that we had the table for 1h45, that would have been absolutely fine. But you can’t expect customers to follow a time limit they’ve never been told about. When I pointed this out, I was told, “I don’t need to tell you. When you come into town, this is normal.” I mean ???? What? That response was honestly what bothered me the most….! I’ve eaten at plenty of restaurants in Dublin and I’ve never assumed there was an unspoken 1h45 rule. If you have a time limit, just tell your customers when they sit down!!!! We would have happily respected it!!!!!! Instead, we were repeatedly rushed and then made to feel like we’d done something wrong for breaking a rule we didn’t even know existed. Really disappointing way to end what had otherwise been a nice meal.

08/10/2026: Used to love this little veggie café, but on our recent visit, staff informed us that the brunch menu (which used to include some vegan options) is no more. Apart from the biscuits and plain focaccia being "accidentally vegan", there were no vegan pastries available either. Unfortunately, it seems they no longer cater well to vegans.

05/09/2026: Visiting from London - lovely Sat AM class with Aoife! Never used the wheel before but seen in Dharma classes in London. Will try a class! Loved the awareness and breath focus from Aoife. Thank you!

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

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

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.

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!

10/08/2026: Hands down Best kebabs in town👏

23/07/2026: I love whole food, but full house pizza and these new dirty birds are amazing

29/09/2026: Great Music ,Vinny Ryan playing .bar staff very pleasant .nice crowd ,seemed older crowd so the craic was good .bus stop & car park near by

21/09/2026: Shocking staff behaviour. Older bar man with goatee gleefully shouting out racist "jokes". The younger one with the goatee looks like Peter Dinklage cosplaying as Tony Stark. Was extremely rude despite the average man being able to knock him in the ground like a fence post. Go to Dolly's or Brady's.

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.

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!

12/09/2026: Atmosphere inside is nice and service is quick but as I was standing outside an older man who looked like a bouncer/security guard shoved me out of the way. Did not attempt to apologize or anything. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.

03/09/2026: Shocking Guinness. Bar staff obviously havent a clue.

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.
