The best restaurants in Dublin

17/05/2026: I loved the toilets smelt so fresh, but i dropped my burger in the urinal, it made me cry , i went outside and coloured in the kids page and then i listened to micheal jackson on the dukebox, would defo recommend to family and friends and collegouges and old friends from school but not my neighbour john, he never cut the grass outside my house

02/05/2026: Good for a treat every now and then

31/07/2026: First time in Zi Qi, won't be my last. Proper authentic Chinese food, children had more irish style chinese dishes, adults went for more authentic chinese dishes and every dish was really really good. The staff were also fantastic, really friendly and helped us with the menu and helped recommend dishes. Will definitely be back. Just sorry I only just discovered the restaurant.

09/07/2026: I am here almost every week now. That’s tells more than thousands of words.

15/07/2026: We ended up here twice during our trip, which probably says it all. The first night was excellent, and the second was somehow even better. I'm still not entirely convinced the singer wasn't actually Paolo Nutini himself. The live music was absolutely brilliant and made for a fantastic night. The drinks were great, the atmosphere was lively without feeling overwhelming and everyone we met was really friendly. Even the gentleman looking after the toilets was an absolute legend and deserved a mention. If you're looking for a late-night spot in Dublin with great live music and a brilliant atmosphere, I'd highly recommend this place.

04/07/2026: The place looks nice, the music is good, I was in there for the first time and unfortunetly the last recently, i was up at the bar, it was busy, i asked for a vodka and mixer, the bar staff person , had charged me, gave me the vodka, and moved on to the next two orders, when he was done with them, I called him over and told him he forgot my mixer, he gave it to me great, I went outside, came back in with two others to get shots, i was told by the tall bar mna with linger brow hair, i had enough, the managers back them up. I asked the managers for a reason Male manager pleasent to deal with, brow hair femail manager is ignorent and shouldnt be in a mangerial role that involves dealing with the public, as noted by others before me in the reviews, all they siad was they thought i had enough and had the right not to serve me anymore, i asked them why, I was able to speak clearly, i wasnt stumbling and wasnt causing any trouble, the only thing i done, was highlighted the bar staff forgot to serve my mixer with the drink. yet, the only response i got, is that they reseve their right under licnece not to serve me. still with no valid reason as to why they thought i had enough, i do belive they should have the right t stop serving, but they should legally be required to give a valid reason, other then we resever the right not to serve you !!!

06/08/2026: i enjoyed the oreo mcflurry. best mcdonald’s i’ve been to. good atmosphere too.

31/07/2026: Best McDonald's ever lovely staff!

24/07/2026: Incredible fresh takeaway food that made my journey through town just a little better! Thank you so much to Lauren for providing amazing service!

18/07/2026: I’m an usual costumer of Sprout in Ballsbridge. I don’t just love the food but the service and how kind the staff is.

21/07/2026: Only bought a coffee but the older male (possibly owner) was rude and abrupt. Very unwelcoming atmosphere

16/07/2026: Ordered a coffee ☕ but the service was exceptional, water was served with the coffee, unheard of in Dublin!

12/05/2026: Homer Simpson drooling on the chicken wings and pizza Staff lovely easily got a seat

21/03/2026: Smelt like sick. Couldn't find the loo Bar staff told us we couldn't sit at the bar

01/01/2026: I used to go here regularly after work or sometimes with my friend on a Saturday afternoon when I lived nearby. I always had the toasted panino with roasted aubergine, roasted pepper, melted mozzarella and pesto, my dream food. If I had only one meal in life I think I’d seriously consider this. The coffee was top class. I’m the hardest person to please when it comes to coffee so this is saying something. The lady who owns the caffe I remember was such a hard working lady, so passionate and down to earth. I’m going to make the trip this week to pop in. I can’t wait. Great to see small local cafe’s come out tops 👍

01/01/2026: Great expresso coffee. Appreciated the fairness of the price of a single shot expresso. Its was perfect served in a porcelan cup and very good quality. The croissants where very good, fresh and crunchy. The ambiance is relaxed and cosy and enjoyed the decor with paintings on the wall and a map of the Suppliers in an outstanding frame. It has our reccomendation. Well done to the owners and Er Buchetto team.

18/05/2026: Good music, good place, good drinks. The only problem we had was with the blond staff member you encounter when they check your entry at the door (once you're already inside). Around 1 a.m., we left the club for a while, and then, when we were about to go back in, this guy started yelling at us because we'd gone into the wrong queue, and he forced us to queue with the people who hadn't yet entered. When we finally got inside, he complained that we had entered through a staff-only entrance (which wasn't marked at any point), he yelled at us again and made us queue all over again. Everything else was fine; I recommend the place, had a good time, but be careful with some of the staff.

07/04/2026: The music is good, but it's very hot, with no ventilation, making the environment extremely unhealthy.

24/07/2026: I got a kebab and it was tasting very nice. I would recommend it

12/07/2026: absolute scutter puts every other establishment to shame - come here NOW.

11/07/2026: Solid chipper, dudes behind the counter were sound

27/06/2026: Delicious food, serve yourself and pay by weight

08/11/2025: Nice pub not always busy but has great breakfast and lunch very busy on Thursday bingo night always have good music at weekends staff great

28/08/2025: Absolutely amazing place, amazing food and great customer service!

18/07/2026: The shawarma would be nicer with pickles

01/07/2026: My wife and I ended up eating here because it was nearby to an appointment we had in the area, and I'm gonna be real: this is the best pizza I think I've ever had in Europe. Certainly in Ireland. I'm not super well travelled, and haven't been all over, but I cannot overstate how good the pepperoni pizza here is. It was like being transported back in time to when I was a kid eating the perfect slice of pizza for lunch after an hour of playing at an arcade. Staff was also really nice, and seeing all the kids there for ice cream was really wholesome. The ice cream machine did end up breaking while we were there, so we didn't get to try it, but next time for sure!

28/06/2026: Absolutely terrible food, head waitress extremely aggressive, would not eat here ever again, shame

24/05/2026: The ribeye steak on the stone was one of the nicest I have ever ate.

22/03/2026: My recommendation is not to stay in this hotel or not to support this hotel in any way. It has 2 floors open to the public the rest of the hotel is for the International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS). Such a pity I used to love this hotel and its location for work purposes. Very sad to see it operating in this fashion - taking taxpayers money etc.

15/03/2026: Held event & team were amazing. The room is big without being too big. A lot nicer than standard conference room you get in hotel.
