The best restaurants in Dublin

02/06/2026: Long established licenced premises. Comfortable surroundings, with attentive and friendly service.

23/06/2026: This morning, I went to Costa to grab an iced mango matcha and cookies for my child. I told the barista which cookies I wanted, but she gave me a strange look, as if she didn't understand what I was saying. I showed her, and she gave them to me. It was my first time trying an iced mango matcha from Costa, and it was undrinkable. It tasted like powder. It was terrible, and I threw it in the bin.

20/05/2026: Very bad, waiting to use the toilet 🚽, toilet locked, no sign of out of order, after 10 minutes of waiting, knocking on the door no sign of anyone there, a staff told me first that it was open and then when I said it was locked and he said oh it's in very bad condition so make up whatever that means, I don't know!

13/10/2025: Lovely place to have breakfast, we were served by Cyrus and the service was excellent. Everyone is so welcoming and the food portions are perfect. Food also tasted great and my friends and I really enjoyed it.

07/09/2025: The owner seems he doesn’t want you to stay there, but only to pay! He is stalking you. He took my mug the second I finished drinking. Don’t go there! He doesn’t deserve.a penny!

13/08/2026: The food was very good and the service excellent. They serve the food very quickly. The spicy chicken and potatoes (not too spicy) were the best. The restaurant is small; it can fit about 16 people at most.

13/08/2026: The Rice dish was boring, the fries were greasy mush, had a fishy taste, prbably made in the same oil as everything else and thus definetely not vegetarian. Most overrated eatery.

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.

14/07/2026: Great onion rings and curry cheese chips. They were friendly and accommodating even though we ordered just before close.

30/06/2026: To the people in the area and the people who have tried this place will know I'm right when I say this is not a nice chipper it looks the real deal but the food is awful the kebab meat is rotten they fool you with the sauces to think there nice but a weird taste the wraps are like flatbreads the chips are very bad quality batter sausage are nice the chicken is nice but it's pumped with water curry sauce is not nice the pizzas is not nice i know people will still eat it because it's local and handy to get too but when you try top quality chippers then eat this you will know the difference spring roll is grease fest in my opinion 4 out 10 dirrthhhhh

16/07/2026: They call this coffee. I'd call it a slap in the face. Coffee that looks like this should be hidden under a lid out of shame, not served to customers!

27/06/2026: I came this morning and was amazed, lovely lady was managing all customers on her own. Top customer care, service and quaet nice atmosphere. Gorgeous variety of cold coffee drinks. Highly recommend.

09/08/2026: Service was fabulous! The blonde cashier was especially lovely to us :)

22/06/2026: Such a pleasant experience. Was in your store today and was greeted by a staff member Mac. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and gave great recommendations and we ended up with the midweek treat and a diablo which was amazing to say the least. Will be back weekly for sure. Brilliant 👏

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.

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.

17/07/2026: Ordered a takeaway and it was absolutely excellent. The pizza arrived hot and fresh, with a perfectly cooked wood-fired crust and delicious, high-quality toppings. Even after the journey home, it tasted amazing. Great value, great flavour, and definitely one of the best wood-fired pizzas I've had. Will definitely be ordering again!

08/04/2026: Great pizzas, even on orders of 20+ pizzas

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.

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.

24/04/2026: Terrible customer service and a very unsafe location, if staying in Dublin! Strongly advise to avoid.

22/04/2026: A small, 3-star hotel in an excellent location. It has been renovated and offers reasonable rates. Bus, tram, and train stops are just steps away. Temple Bar is about a 15-minute walk. The room was fine, clean, and the staff was very attentive, bilingual, and helpful. They provide a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar, sweetener, and biscuits, which are replenished as needed. The bathroom has soap, shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner. The towels are good quality. There's a hairdryer, a small but functional wardrobe, and a safe. The only downside is that the bus station is directly across the street, and you can sometimes hear noise. It might also give the impression of being a somewhat unsafe area because there's a homeless shelter nearby; people wander around but don't bother anyone. To get to and from the airport, you can use the Dublin Express, the Xpress, or bus 41, all of which stop a short walk from the hotel.

13/07/2026: Probably the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Order wasn’t delivered though claimed it was. Tried to explain this on the phone but couldn’t comprehend the issue. Kept saying it was delivered and nothing could do on their end. Kept pushing it back on us instead of finding a resolution and twice hung up on the phone. So disappointing as normally so good. The supervisor on really let the restaurant down.

10/07/2026: I ordered chicken with cashew and steamed rice.. food and service were excellent but the smell of the place wasn’t..
