The best restaurants in Dublin

06/11/2025: Had takeaway. The seating area seemed nice and clean, but wasn't in long enough to get a good feel for it. The food was good, but the order got messed up and we one dish was lost. Double checking the bag would've been a good idea.

22/10/2025: Lovely food plenty of it. Good service too.

06/10/2025: Well-priced, tasty food, and a generously sized pot of tea! The second time I visited, it took a little while to get served because of how busy it was in there (this is not at all a complaint, it's just how it goes sometimes), but the manager was very apologetic and even offered a complimentary drink to make up for it. This was not at all necessary, but it shows that they care about the customer experience here. The other staff members were also very friendly.

01/10/2025: The owner is so rude and uses foul language. The products are not safe, hygiene-wise. Be careful!

29/11/2025: Excellent meal this evening at Scotts, Charte and Sinead made it special, superb wine insights by Charte!

29/11/2025: Didn’t have the stone steak this time which would have given it 5 for food!

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!

01/01/2026: Fish and chips - both very nice, quick service. Would recommend. Best one around by far!

11/11/2025: Staff take over 10 mins to give you just 1 bag of chips when the shop is empty and the portion they give you for the price is absolutely outrageous. Go 2 mins down the road to San Marino you get way more value for money.

28/01/2026: Best fried chicken I've had in my life, it's amazing!

19/01/2026: Mix and chicken kebab from Max Takeaway is unreal — massive portion, loads of flavour, and perfectly cooked meat fresh salad and plenty of sauce. The staff were really friendly and welcoming too. Great value for the size, Me and my girlfriend order one or two every week xD can't go wrong

06/06/2025: First i stepped on dog poo out side her shop i asked her for water to clean it of but when i had tisue and got it off by stepping on puddles i was just trying to tell its ok and I got it off bit she started acting cheeky wont even let me speak saying it not my problem and leave my store now and sighed steppingcon some dog poo and asking free water bare in mind if she would asked me it cost money i would pay because i dont have a problem with it cause she wants to bisness and she was very cheeky and I went there before and the Coffee was so bitter and disgusting i would not recommend it for anyone.

03/06/2025: Cute and traditional café located in the center of Dublin. Here you can get a traditional Irish breakfast among other options like bagels, sandwiches and wraps. The staff was very friendly and even brought the food to our table. The food was sensational and gave us a sense of tradition inside of a modern city like Dublin. We would recommend this place to have breakfast or coffee any day!

29/11/2025: A retro roadhouse feel restaurant. The food was tasty and I'll come back to try some other dishes.

27/11/2025: Always a varying experience here. Sometimes staff are amazing, next time they are quite rude. They never come over to ask about desserts and are very slow to clear the table. One thing that remains consistent is the food which I suppose is the most important part.

19/11/2025: The chips were a bit dry, even though I asked for salt and loadsss of vinegar. The kebab in pita bread was also very spicy than I expected.🥵 Overall, I don’t really see the hype, so I wouldn’t be rushing back. :/

27/08/2025: Does exactly what you expect, Good Food served fast with 4/6 seats and a high tables in store

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

24/12/2025: Good coffee, good service. The no substitution on food was pretty poor for a standard café

23/11/2025: The mexican eggs were so delicious, and the people I was with enjoyed their brekkies too, pancakes and a mini irish. Coffee was done beautifully, though it was on the pricier side. Cute cozy little spot!

19/12/2025: Changed my original review because service has gone downhill rapidly for delivery orders. Ordered delivery tonight and most of the items missing from the order, tiny amount of beef, no guac, no sour cream, no chips, tiny amount of rice too. They used to be great, but wouldn’t recommend this anymore. Made a complaint about the order and was basically told “sorry, can’t do anything”

13/12/2025: Really tasty burrito, great service! Lucy was super nice and makes a mean burrito also.

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!!

27/08/2025: Super pints of Guinness, Taza pub menu is excellent.

03/05/2025: The bar people and lounge girls brilliant

15/12/2025: Old style family pub in suburbs of Dundrum. The menu had all you needed, very good value and quality was excellent. Give it a go if you are near by, good alternative.

11/12/2025: Balinteer men's shed Christmas party went with a bang .FOOD was excellent and music top class.A great night was had by all .Definitely recommend it for a gathering. Thanks to Tomas for everything Owen
