The best restaurants in Dublin

07/02/2026: Best food and service. The chicken wings are the best I ever had!

07/02/2026: Amazing cocktails served by a lovely bartender, he was the nicest ever to our birthday girl. And the best service from everyone.

20/11/2025: I absolutely loved Crowbar during my trip to Dublin. The atmosphere inside was welcoming and the bartenders were friendly. The prices are reasonable. I didn't go to the nightclub section of the bar, but according to a friend, it's pretty good. I recommend it!

02/11/2025: Accidentally spilled my pint after 30 seconds of buying it. Explained the bartender that it was a mistake and asked if maybe she could replace it. Instead she nastly said “you have to pay again, obviously” in a mean manner. Like I understand that but that was not nice to respond in such demeanour, especially the “obviously” part. Other bars would have replaced it for free.

28/12/2025: Nice place, good location, lovely ambience. The food was good but elements missing. There should have been miso soup alongside two meals, which never arrived. My dessert was ice-cream with tuiles cases and berries. There were 2 blueberries! That's a disappointment. Don't bother saying berries, if you are going to serve two! Don't say you serve miso soup alongside, if you're not going to do that.

22/12/2025: Very poor experience received by management not on the ground staff. We had booked for 16 people food and karaoke - they charged us a €320 deposit for this booking, €20 euro per person which we thought was originally a bit steep! This was also not redeemable against payments on the day. We had group of 13 sit down for food, we had 3 friends that were unable to attend on the day due to illness - typical of the time of year close to Christmas with flus etc. In total between food (€870) , karaoke, where we also had additional friends join (€420) and drinks probably €500+ we spent close to the €2000 mark. Food and service were fine but nothing special, expensive as Dublin generally is but there are much better Japanese restaurants in Dublin. They are now refusing to return €60 of the deposit based on the fact that we had 3 friends not sit down for dinner with us, despite the fact we spent nearly €2000 in Maneki on the night. They are saying this is because we didn't have an accurate number of people for the booking 5 days prior to the date of the dinner - anyone that has an illness surely knows that you can't predict it five days beforehand and you are doing the right thing by not attending and spreading it to everyone else, despite this still 13 of us attended and there wasn't any money lost for Maneki. They have stopped replying to our emails and it has left an incredibly bad impression on our larger friend group who are all based in Dublin, none of us will return to Maneki again and will not recommend it to anyone in our wider circles based on the experience. Table was also delayed by 20 mins when we arrived and the karaoke room was also delayed by 20-30 mins. Mics were also way to high in the karaoke room which wasn't very enjoyable but the issue could not be resolved by the staff. To me, it seems that they take the deposit to make sure that you do not get some of it back, they made us even sign a waiver for the karaoke in case of any issues, seems like an incredibly greedy business model! Any of the Chinese restaurants on Parnell St are a much better recommendation for karaoke in Dublin :)

25/10/2025: Excellent local supermarket with nearly everything one would need for a weekly shop. Obviously, physical size is the limiting factor so less commonly used items can be difficult or impossible to find. Staff are friendly and helpful. Adequate car park that usually suffices but occasionally gets overwhelmed. Has an array of 7kw chargers - unfortunately 2 or 3 are permanently out of order and reporting this to a manager (repeatedly) is usually met with shoulder shrugging but no action. Very frustrating. If the chargers were fixed, this store would be a 5* one.

14/09/2025: Every time I am here the staff are so rude. Today I thanked the til operator and said have a good day after he scanned all my items. He looked in the opposite direction, completely ignoring me. It’s not the first time this has happened either. I’m not usually one to post a negative review, but as someone who has worked in customer facing roles for years (so I understand how difficult it can be) I just have always found the customer service here to be appalling it’s so disheartening.

05/01/2026: Great food and friendly service. The blonde manager with glasses was very kind and hardworking, even while very busy. Really great experience!

26/12/2025: Just had a bag of chips here. Wouldn't be rushing back.

01/10/2025: Great atmosphere, friendly people & fairly priced pints!

17/07/2025: A great pint of Guinness, great value, and a lovely Dublin pub atmosphere. Plenty of racing and GAA on TV , couldn't ask for more.

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 !!!!

18/01/2026: We had a lovely meal on a Friday evening, found a cozy spot on the couches. The food was delicious, we had pizza the huge goat cheese salad, and wedges. We had one desert between us, apple pie and two coffees. The bill was just over €50 which was very reasonable. The staff were under a bit of pressure, but they did their best.

01/01/2026: They literally saved our new year's eve 🎊 the place where we originally booked a table was overcrowded and we really thought we wouldn't be able to find a place somewhere else.. but in the end we got a table at the dog's house restaurant in 10min 😁 Food and service were excellent 👌 Thank you !

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!

05/09/2025: Amazing service. Called in at 9.20am needing 2 new tyres. Sadly, they didn't have the size I required in stock but said they could get them for lunchtime. I was given 4 or 5 different options and made a decision on a couple of Pirelli's. Gráinne called at 3pm to say the tyres were in, I took the car round and had them fitted quickly and efficiently. Price was very reasonable too. Gráinne is a star!

07/08/2025: They were quick and professional.

01/06/2025: I can’t recommend Marija’s desserts enough! Marija created beautiful desserts for a very special occasion. They were so delicious, beautiful and plant based! Her work is truly a masterpiece. The communication was excellent and professional! Will definitely be ordering them again and exploring more flavours! 🩷

14/05/2025: Couldn’t speak any more highly about Marija. Her creations are absolutely stunning and delicious. I ordered a few eclairs and a couple of entremets for my partner’s birthday. She waited till the last minute to decorate them so they were fresh, and also made sure to include a message somewhere on the desserts (not as easy as on a cake) - the attention to detail is incredible. To top it off, she’s such a kind and lovely person. Delighted to have ordered from Marija.

05/07/2025: Had their salad bar and a drink. Very nice! Wasn't there in time for the hot food, but the salad was fresh and good! They charged by weight (of the salad!)

01/07/2025: Everything at Fresh is absolutely delicious! You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients. The food is always fresh and full of flavor. The staff are super friendly and helpful, which makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommended!

13/01/2026: Best coffee shop in town. You can choose your espresso from various beans.

03/01/2026: This coffee shop offers a wide selection, from coffee to matcha, complemented by excellent pastries. Highly recommended! I thoroughly enjoyed their brewed Ethiopian coffee.

20/11/2025: Extremely tasty poke bowls! Highly recommend

13/11/2025: Great portion size and lovely staff

03/01/2026: Experience was ok, nothing special. Had high hopes and let down unfortunately. Better experience in Gibson Hotel next door.

21/12/2025: Food was okay, staff were very busy but also seemed very distracted and unorganised. Table was sticky when we sat down
