The best restaurants in Dublin

04/09/2025: “The coffee is excellent, definitely 10/10. However, as an employee the experience is disappointing – the workload is overwhelming, staff are not treated with respect, and the working conditions are far from fair.”

02/09/2025: Great coffee. Very friendly and helpful staff. Get in early as it gets very busy

05/09/2025: Amazing service. Called in at 9.20am needing 2 new tyres. Sadly, they didn't have the size I required in stock but said they could get them for lunchtime. I was given 4 or 5 different options and made a decision on a couple of Pirelli's. Gráinne called at 3pm to say the tyres were in, I took the car round and had them fitted quickly and efficiently. Price was very reasonable too. Gráinne is a star!

07/08/2025: They were quick and professional.

03/06/2025: An experience that will not be repeated

18/08/2025: Ready to pick up, always clean and tidy store and food perfectly made

27/07/2025: My go to place for lovely doughnuts

31/01/2026: Love this spot! Amazing Green Thai chicken curry and when paired with their fried rice it was beyond delicious. Also, special shoutout to their black pepper beef. Def see myself coming back for such a cheap but delicious meal!

18/12/2025: Can honestly say i travelled 2hrs 10min from belfast going to kneecap concert and had to call in to this place, which id been to a couple of times last year as i was working in liffey valley. One of the better spice bags ive had as this is almost a delicacy as we dont get them in the north sadly but definitely a shout for a quick fix and curry sauce nice n thick too

05/04/2026: The selection was very limited and the food ended up being very oily.

26/03/2026: Have had positive experiences in the past but my partner and I were severely disappointed this time around. He ordered the beef cheek ragu and it arrived entirely uncooked, the pasta was rock solid and inedible. I ordered the garlic prawn pasta and the sauce was entirely butter with little to no seasoning. My partner got a replacement dish but the staff are extremely inattentive and very difficult to get a hold of, overall not very friendly. Will not be back.

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!

06/01/2026: Unfortunately, this restaurant has closed permanently. It will be sadly missed by regular happy customers. See my review below: The best breakfast / lunch restaurant in Monkstown bar none. Everything on the menu is delicious it’s so hard to choose. Super service too! I’m a regular and always will be. Highly recommend an early G&T.

06/12/2025: 3 stars max because the place is cosy and the coffee is good, but I wouldn’t return there for the brunch menu…branch menu is just average and not a good value for money.

18/06/2025: Always consistently amazing food. I go here every week and have never been disappointed. Staff are always friendly and attentive. Highly recommend

17/06/2025: Enjoyed a really tasty meal here. Will definitely be returning. Service was good and the food was super, a really enjoyable dining experience. All of the group enjoyed their food.

23/08/2025: Just got smoke cod a onion rings barely warm not crispy reckon they're reheat.

19/07/2025: Always nice food. Not alot to choose compared to other takeaways in the area. But recommended

11/04/2026: Not good. While the food is nice the staff is very rude. Won’t come back

11/04/2026: Place - check Vibe - check Food - double check Everything was great, u all should try but only one thing which i did not like was staff There is a girl on first floor who was making rush to order something and felt racism and very disrespectful. We asked for her suggestions in ordering something and she was least interested to help us. It was my first date with my boyfriend where we planned for a romantic date and she spoilt our mood due to which we left the place and went somewhere else for dinner.

27/03/2026: Despite the large number of customers, the staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating! The food and selection are, as always, good.

14/03/2026: As expected, food was quick, staff were welcoming.

18/01/2026: It’s good here but they just give you medium roost straight away have to specify I want the dark and it’s dog friendly ❤️

01/01/2026: I pop in here regularly with my two boys. Staff are always pleasant and tables and store kept clean. My kids love pretending that their orange juice is a coffee ☕

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.

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. 😂
