The best restaurants in Dublin

22/11/2025: “Had a wonderful experience! The staff was kind, the food was delicious, and everything felt so welcoming. Highly recommended!”

22/11/2025: Very nice food and good service

26/09/2025: Chicken was awesome. Huge portions

06/09/2025: Iskender Turkish Kebabs on Tslbot Street is an absolute gem! The doner was fantastic — a generous portion of perfectly seasoned meat that really hits the spot. Yes, it’s a bit on the expensive side, but that’s pretty much par for the course when it comes to Dublin kebab prices. The shop itself is quite small, making it ideal for takeaway, though there are just a few seats if you want to sit in. Overall, great quality, quick service, and tasty food. I’ll definitely be back for a quick meal again

23/11/2025: Zero stars! Ordered two polo bowels and they were uneaten due to excessive hot spices even though mild was requested. It was like they dumped a jar of cayon pepper in the bowel. It was that bad It went into the bin.

19/11/2025: It was my first time visiting the place, so I needed some help to understand how everything worked. I really liked the atmosphere and the staff, especially Evelin, who was very patient in helping me choose and put together my meal. I highly recommend visiting and getting to know the place.

09/08/2025: We popped in for breakfast and it was faultless. The staff were so pleasant and unbelievably efficient. The food was delicious. Definitely worth a visit!

09/08/2025: What is the point in having a click and collect service if you’re not going to start cooking until i arrive and pay for it? Defeats the whole purpose. Just get rid of it from your website if that’s the case. Said to collect in 15 mins. Waiting the 15 mins for them to cook now. What a joke

18/10/2025: Toastie was fine but the indoor sitting area is very scruffy and dirty

18/10/2025: Toastie was very nice and a decent price but the inside seating area was very dirty with bird poo on the tables. No effort made to clean it.

21/12/2025: We visited this restaurant for a Christmas party about two weeks ago. We booked a table for 10 people and were clearly told at the time of booking that it would not be a problem if fewer people turned up. We paid a €100 deposit. On the night, 7 people attended. We ordered the 3-course set menu for everyone, plus a lot of additional drinks and desserts, so the final spend was well above the set menu price (around €45 pp). Unfortunately, the experience was very poor: • Instead of prosecco, we were served a still wine with no bubbles, in a wine glass. When we asked to change it, staff insisted it was prosecco. • Medium-rare steaks arrived well done. • Coffee ordered with desserts was forgotten and never brought. • When the bill arrived, only €70 of the €100 deposit was deducted, with the explanation that fewer people attended. We explained again that it was agreed in advance that fewer people might come, and that we had ordered plenty of extra food and drinks anyway. Staff claimed this policy was written on their website. When I politely asked them to show where this was stated, they could not. At that point, the waitress became aggressive and accused me of being rude, despite my calm tone. Eventually, they came back with a reduced bill. To top it off, another waiter approached our table and told me: “You are not welcome in our restaurant anymore.” Completely unprofessional behaviour, poor service, and unacceptable customer treatment. I would not return and would not recommend this place.

10/12/2025: Lovely restaurant, cosy atmosphere, I’ve been there twice in a group of 20 people for Christmas dinner by 6pm. I had duck roll, grilled sea bass and tiramisu. Food was tasty, service was fast and attentive. I recommend that!

09/11/2025: I wanted to give it 0 stars, but you can’t give 0 stars, so I’m rating it a 1. My friend and I were looking forward to going to this cafe after seeing on TikTok, we had even waited for them to open. It was a very uncomfortable experience from the start. The waitress told us to wait outside until she allowed us in, and when she did - the lights were still switched off. Even being the first ones there she very rudely told us to sit down at the first table. We had planned to study at the cafe as we heard people had done that before, but she told us that she can’t hold the table for us to study and this was the only table we could sit at. She was behaving very hostile and rude towards us and it was such an uncomfortable experience, we left immediately. The service was extremely horrible, do better next time! We can’t believe that we were treated like this, we had such high expectations, we never thought we’d be treated so poorly by the waitress especially at a cafe in Dublin.

07/11/2025: Totally unpleasant experience. Greeted by rude unsmiling unfriendly staff members. I have just taken out a family membership, love the museum but am shocked by the rude sullen indifference of the staff in the café. We complained at the museum reception front desk, and were promptly told it was nothing to do with them as it's run by a separate entity. Shocking.

13/10/2025: My experience in ITSA Bagel wandaful staff, I love their bagels I always ordered Hawaii, service number. The atmosphere pleasant 😊

11/08/2025: Great value for bagels! I had their Californian bagel for under €8 and it was great! Now, for me, a tiny stomach girlie this portion was perfect but if you have a bigger appetite then you might need 2 bagel sandwiches. The bacon in my bagel was a bit dry but other than that it was all good for the price and it was a quick turnaround and they are made fresh and the staff are lovely too!

01/11/2025: Very affordable place with generous portions and delicious food. I personally thought the four-cheese pizza was excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful ☺️ I'll definitely be back during my stay in Ireland

06/12/2025: I used to have a 5 star review, their baked potatoes where one of my go to meals, but recently they have made some changes making it smaller and less ingredients please check the pictures of what it used to look like vs what it looks like now, making a product smaller or cheaper isn’t the way to cut costs, its a sure way to loose customers…

26/11/2025: I was a bit skeptical about trying this place after reading some of the reviews, but we needed a quick dinner and decided to give it a shot. We ordered the Deluxe Kebab Doner and a veg pizza, and both tasted excellent. The kebab was especially good—flavorful, generous in portion. It exceeded our expectations and really suited our taste buds. We did a takeaway, and while the food was great, the service staff felt a bit nonchalant and unwelcoming. Still, for the kebabs alone, I’d definitely go back!

14/12/2025: Location was central. Smack in the middle of everything. The room was spacious, clean and guarantees a good night sleep. Tbf, it was a Saturday (7/12/2025-9/12/2025) but we didn’t hear any noise despite facing the main road. Only grouse would be , for the amount paid, as it was indeed winter, the room didn’t have a heater which was rather inconvenient as you’d need to have your sweater on all the time. Otherwise, everything was great, the front desk were really good just a little uncoordinated at times as we got varying information about laundry pick up which meant we couldn’t do laundry because of their misinformation.

12/12/2025: In general, nobody should stay in temple bar. The noise is so bad and in my case my room was towards a side street but some alarm went off and it was going for 1 hour at 3am and despite calling the reception and asking them to get it fixed, they didn’t feel responsible. So I just would advice anyone coming to Dublin to not stay in this area or hotel because even though they give you ear plugs it’s not enough and you won’t survive the night.

21/04/2025: Good buzz with Arthur and Gerry tonight

04/04/2025: Great place to go for food and drinks. Always a good atmosphere and staff are great.

04/12/2025: (Traducido por Google) Nos equivocaron en dos partes de nuestro pedido y luego nos dijeron que no pedimos lo que habíamos pedido realmente. (Original) Got two parts of our order wrong and then told us that we didn't ask for what we had actually ordered.

03/12/2025: The managers seem really nice and the team seem to have a good dynamic. Always fast and is a good atmosphere. The food is really good as well!

03/12/2025: Love this modern change up in a sea of old world pubs. Great service at the bar. Happening yet family friendly. A great place.

28/11/2025: Good food. Great atmosphere. Awesome staff. And for a table of 20 people they refused to split the bill. Like at all. Not even in groups of 5. And they didn’t communicate beforehand that they don’t do that. Just not ok.

21/08/2025: Great food and reasonable price.

09/08/2025: It can be hit and miss here in every aspect. Been here a number of times and have left both pleased and frustrated in each of the categories above. Consistency is missing in every aspect. A great location, great rustic offering. They just need to bring the A game everyday in food presentation and content, staff friendliness, cleanliness.
