The best restaurants in Dublin

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.

25/02/2026: Don’t get the chicken Simple as.

25/02/2026: The Philly loaded fries are perfect, the staff is so kind, good value for money. Love that you can see them make the food, only thing i would suggest is to work on the interior to attract more customers, overall very good!

15/10/2025: Today I ordered a flat white (I had my own cup) and 2 chocolate covered dates and asked to pay 7.80 EUR, did not give attention and paid. Flat white costs 4.20 (with your own cup 4.00), each date costs 1.50. I then saw there is a coffee and cake afternoon deal (2pm-4pm) for 5 EUR. I kindly asked barista if dates were not included in the deal. She said they are included. It did not make sense and asked if she can explain me the breakdown of my bill: she said the cake deal price has gone up to 6.50 EUR today and one of the dates was included in the deal on my bill. I was negatively surprised with the price increase but did not comment on it. I then said but the dates are cheaper outside of the deal and I dont get why we are including one of them as a part of deal if it does not make total lower. If we take all products individually the total comes to 7 EUR, I dont get why I should pay more because they applied the deal where they should not. Barista kindly said she cannot change the rules. To be fair I am not blaming the barista as she was kind and she even offered some pastries later on to customers (including me) as everyone asked about price increase on afternoon deal. The whole thing just does not make sense.

09/10/2025: Great coffee and a nice place to sit outside and people watch!

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

24/03/2026: We ordered spicy pork that was brought in a pan that needed to cook on a small stove. The meat was raw and surrounded bij onions and leak and covered in a very large amount of Korean spicy red paste (Gochujang). I’m a big fan of this condiment but it was so much that after cooking the meal it tasted as a box of Gochujang with some meat and veggies in it. It was bad. And it costed €40. When I complained to the staff he reacted that he’ll tell the cook. That’s it. The other dishes were ok-ish. (I have lived in Korea, so have an idea what good food should taste like). Not recommended.

22/03/2026: The Chinese staff are a bit abrupt

08/12/2025: Anju made us the best gingerbread coffee at Nespresso in Dublin! Love coming here to get Nespresso!

08/12/2025: I had the gingerbread espresso and it was fabulous! Anju took really good care of us. I will definitely return!

23/02/2026: Ordered for pick up and arrived 20 minutes early. The food was already bagged which meant it was all cold already and it was freezing by the time I got home. But the staff were lovely

22/01/2026: Got the chicken biryani delivered. It was cold and very overpowered flavour of star aniseed. The chicken was good quality though.

19/07/2025: As we are creatures of habit, we strolled in to Starbucks for a coffee and a blueberry muffin. The service was excellent, very polite. Food and coffee were great. Great spot to sit and relax when out and about.

21/05/2025: 2 beautiful Bernese enjoying Starbucks

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.

15/02/2026: Booked for 6 people to celebrate a birthday. It was a short notice booking and valentine's day, so we were happy to secure a table. Looked at the website and the menu shown was good. Lots of choice and a casual burgers, BBQ, fries type of offering. I was looking forward to a vegan burger which sounded really nice (I'm not vegetarian or vegan). We arrived and were shown to a table in the covered outdoor smoking area. Not delighted with being in a smoking area but we were a short notice booking so not to worried about it. It was cold. The heater above us didn't really help so coats were kept on. Again, not too big of a deal. We were left at the table for a little longer than appropriate, so I walked to the bar inside and asked for a server to attend. A server came soon after. The menu we were offered was NOT the menu on the website. This menu was much reduced. No vegan burger on offer. The dishes we ordered were chicken burger, smash burger, pork ribs, chicken wings, boudin balls, Texan smoked beef brisket, Cajun fries. Sides were Mac & cheese and fries included with some of the mains along with "greens". The chicken burger was nice. A large grilled chicken breast, tender & juicy, some cheese, salad leaves, bacon and a nice garlicy sauce on a large brioche bun. I liked it. The smash burger was described as really nice. The chicken wings also described as very nice. The pork ribs, while tasting good weren't as juicy as would have been liked. They are the positives. The Texas Smoked Brisket accompanied by Mac & Cheese and "greens" at €18 was a distant pale imitation of what it claimed to be. Three slices of beef lay, unadorned by any sauce, on a plate beside a small serving of uncooked, limp baby spinach and red chard, the type that comes in a plastic bag preprepared in your local supermarket, over which had been dripped a brown sauce/dressing. On my companion's plate this sauce was dribbled over the beef slices. The beef was NOT smoked, was dry and hard and devoid of any juices. Texan brisket it most certainly was not. Dreadful. No flavour and hard to eat. It was left on the plate. The Mac & Cheese was only ok. Pasta was cooked ok, but the cheese sauce needed seasoning. Some cheese was scattered on the top and not grilled as I would have preferred. The boudin balls, an arrancini type offering with beef brisket through the rice tasted ok. The crumb coating was over fried and too dark. Again, it was a little bland and under seasoned, but that could be my palate and the accompanying bowl of sauce was very nice. Fries were bog standard frozen fries, the Cajun version liberally dusted with a spice mix. Service was a bit sparse, we felt a somewhat neglected at times as we were out in the beer garden. The server was friendly if a little disinterested. When I complained about the beef brisket his response was that he would "tell the chef". The beer garden roof had a leak which dropped on to my head. There was heavy rain that evening, but to be cold and wet in a restaurant?? It was an occasional drip and I was able to reposition my seat to avoid. The bill, had the food been better, was reasonably inexpensive for Dublin city centre. But, apart from one or two exceptions, the food was not good, the response to complaints was not adequate, the seating area was not comfortable, the menu advertised was not available and we, the paying customers, left disappointed.

14/11/2025: Booked this place for a group of 14 with drinks and platters. Worked with João to book it and it was all smooth and everyone enjoyed it!

07/12/2025: Typical atmosphere, savory breakfast, excellent price! Highly recommended.

11/11/2025: When you're in need of a great breakfast this is the spot. 2 lovely ladies turning out delicious food at a tenner a head. What's not to like! Highly recommended

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!

14/11/2025: Breakfast was great but £7.50 on the bill for 2 tea's is a bit 2 much and extras £4 for 2 slices of toast!

09/11/2025: The best cafe in Dun Laoghaire and the fact that it is always busy is testament to this. Very good coffee and a wide selection of breakfast/brunch/lunch dishes to suit all diets.

14/06/2025: Friendly staff nice pint of Guinness

03/04/2025: The grattan pub and staff are amazing Simon olga and amy very nice people.. the sushi is for me the best in Dublin I've been all over but uts. Y far the nicest

19/01/2026: I've ordered peppercorn chicken for €15, the chicken was large, two breasts, but it was extremely dry, I couldn't finish it. The rest is good, but the chicken is a disappointment

17/01/2026: the food is always great but whether the servers will be nice to you is always a 50/50
