The best restaurants in Dublin

30/12/2025: A place that doesn't demand attention, and perhaps that's why it deserves it all. You come here for a proper smash burger, probably the best in Dublin—even if no one will ever say it out loud. The sandwiches are opulent and uncompromising: juicy meat, perfect crust, generously oozing cheese. Burgers that get your hands dirty and leave a lasting impression. The fries, thin and crispy, are impeccable for those who love this style. They don't use pork, but what they do with beef and poultry is top-notch. There's real substance, not just aesthetics. Unlike other city chains that invest heavily in branding, storytelling, and stage presence, here the focus is entirely on the dish. And it's a choice that pays off, for those who recognize quality. The place has a rugged and authentic soul, but there's a practical aspect that deserves attention: the smell of fried food is very persistent and risks ruining the experience. An improvement on this front would help further enhance an already excellent gastronomic offering. I keep returning without hesitation: for me, it remains the best burger in Dublin, even if few are ready to acknowledge that. 🍔

30/12/2025: Best burger place in town. Burgers were made with juicy and tender meat.

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.

29/11/2025: Paid for fast priority delivery came in over a hour? Missing pineapple and kiwi in açai bowl that I paid for just said on receipt no pineapple sorry witch does not make sense because I paid for it I didn’t get anything for my money and missing drink delivery driver couldn’t speak the best of English and said he did not have a number for the coffee drop I paid €32 euro for 2 açai bowls with wrong toppings and a drink horrible service 👍

09/11/2025: Wagner consistently delivers exceptional service and expertly prepared coffee. His professionalism, product knowledge, and attention to detail significantly enhance the customer experience at The Coffee Drop. Highly recommended.

15/10/2025: Nice place, very pleasant atmosphere, delicious beverage and really friendly staff. I really enjoyed being there.

08/10/2025: “Relaxed, welcoming and delicious — everything you want in a park café!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolute gem in Herbert Park! I have been coming to Lolly and Cooks for years for their amazing coffee and sweet treats — but lunch here is next-level delicious. The fresh salads made by Christina were bursting with flavour, and I even bought extra for home! The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. My toddler loves their cosy kids’ corner with books and toys — it’s the perfect family-friendly café to relax after a play in the park. Beautiful food, great coffee, and such a lovely atmosphere every time. 🌿☕🥗

05/03/2026: This is the FOURTH time they have completely gotten my order wrong for delivery. The first two times they forgot my main item (chicken strips) and the second two times they gave me the wrong fries (plus they were cold and dry) and forgot all of my sauce (i was left eating DRY chicken). To make it even better, there is no store number you can call. WHY CAN’T I JUST TALK TO SOMEONE!!!!!!!! This actually ruined my already horrible day THANKS wowburger

04/02/2026: Best place ever to eat my friends come here all the time

29/12/2025: Is a great spot if you're looking for a very fresh pizza in Killester. The vibe's casual, and the staff is friendly, you can see the pizza being make…

27/12/2025: Good environment Pizza is amazing I loved, I ordered a special one for christmas The staffs are so kind I really recommend that pizza shop to go !!!!

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.

22/02/2026: I love the Malaysian vegetarian tofu curry here, flavours are delicious but I don’t find the sushi options like the rolls and maki dishes taste super fresh. A little disappointing on the sushi front but love the curry !

05/02/2026: We purposely drive here to get Sushi because the meals are fresh and delicious. One of the best Sushi we have had to date.

30/10/2025: I ordered the biscoff brownie and biscoff cookie sandwhich, the brownie tasted stale like it had been sitting out for a good while, the cookie sandwich was nice but didnt taste like biscoff at all, very little biscoff inside cookie, mostly just this cream filling.

06/10/2025: We bought a cake for my sons first birthday and I couldn’t of been happier how it turned out the size of the cake the price of the cake and how nice it was could not argue about anything we will defiantly be ordering here again

05/02/2026: Good pizza. Bad kebab. Customers good.

23/12/2025: Good pizza but very unprofessional stuff that changes too often,not worth going

31/10/2025: Great venue. Was there for the Lost Sunday Skalloween ska and reggae event which was brilliant. The Last Lane venue allowed for different acts to be performing at the same time, like the DJ in one section and live band in another. Highly recommend both Lost Lane and the Lost Sunday gig.

31/08/2025: I’ve come many times already. I have allergies and they’re always super careful and nice. And the food tastes delicious. I was attended by Sarah and Carol

20/12/2025: Had a fabulous meal in the Cornernote on Friday evening (it’s now open on Thurs, Fri & Sat evenings). Food, wine, ambience and service were all superb. Great vegetarian options. I highly recommend it.

19/12/2025: Spent a lovely winter’s evening enhanced by heartwarming delicious food, perfect for the time of year. Waiter was excellent, patient and friendly. Would return tomorrow if I could!

25/07/2025: Sag aloo is amazing. Peshwari naan is great but much sweeter than it usually is, so depends on your preference. Dal tarka is a bit spicy for me but the flavour is really nice.

20/08/2025: We had food and drinks couldn't have asked for any better great service aswell from Jeremy highly recommend

26/07/2025: Lovely place, quiz night is a lot of fun
