The best restaurants in Dublin

10/12/2025: The food was absolutely awful. I ordered biangbiang noodles, but they had no flavor at all. There were a bunch of people in the kitchen, but they didn't seem to be doing anything. It's nowhere near as good as Galway's. The service was also incredibly slow. Every time I asked, they said it would be right away, but I ended up waiting for over 40 minutes. Definitely avoid going, especially at lunchtime!

08/12/2025: Absolutely avoid this place! No taste, no flavor whatsoever, not even for a quick bite, it's ridiculous!

18/10/2025: Excellent service and very good food. Very well looked after by Katerina and Diana. I felt right at home.

18/10/2025: What I highlight is the breakfast, very good lunch and the excellent service from Diana and Katherine. I recommend this place. 🌼😎

16/11/2025: Tucked behind Dublin’s streets, this café feels like a hidden local favourite. The cakes are fresh, the tea is excellent, and the outdoor seating feels cosy during good weather. Staff are friendly and the menu isn’t overwhelming. Ideal for a slow breakfast or dessert break when you want something charming and quiet.

06/11/2025: It kills me to have to post a review about what was, once, my favourite café in Dublin. I came here this morning to treat myself and my friend to some coffee and brunch before work. After coming in, I noticed that the place was almost empty. Perfect. We were promptly seated and given a menu. Both myself and my guest ordered coffee, a scone and the 'Scramble'. The server asked if we'd like the scones with the scrambles, we indicated that we didn't have a preference. Lovely. Off to a great start. However, it didn't take long for things to start coming apart. Firstly, the server brought us our two scones, but no coffees. Not ideal, but not a big deal. Surely, it would have made more sense to bring us the baked goods after our scrambles, but whatever, we'll roll with it. When the coffee did eventually arrive, we had already finished our scones. Okay, all a little disappointing, but these things happen. Next, we waited for our food. We waited. And waited. In vain, we waited. Our plates weren't cleared, we weren't checked up on at all. In fact, we were completely ignored. Our coffees finished, we fancied another, but still we couldn't get the attention of any staff; who seemed to be congregated around the kitchen taking photos of a dish on the pass. As restlessness set in, I checked my phone and saw that it had been 40 mins since I sat down. I decided to ask how much longer my food would be. I then had to leave the table, approach the congregated staff members and ask for an update on my food. I asked 'is my food coming up soon', my waiter looked at me and said in an agitated tone, 'not yet', but at this stage, I'd had enough. I cancelled the food. Feeling dejected and disappointed, I asked for the bill. My server simply said 'sorry about that' in an offhand manner. When she she came out to take my payment, she repeated 'sorry about that', without making eye contact or showing any genuine remorse for having delivered such a poor customer experience. I decided to offer some feedback. I told her that coffee should always come before food and it was unacceptable that we had finished our food before our coffee arrived. She told me that it was the way things were done at Cake Café. When I insisted that it was uniform etiquette across all cafés and restaurants, she simply said 'not here, some places do things differently'. She had an air of scorn about her temperament which I found a little unprofessional. She then repeated 'sorry about the restaurant', repeating her claim that it's restaurant policy to deliver coffee to customers once their food is finished. She didn't offer any commiseration. Her whole demeanour was angry and confrontational, which is especially disappointing, considering ours was so polite. I work in service and have done for the past 10 years. I'm incredibly forgiving when it comes to staff mishaps when im dining out. But a level of service this poor is inexcusable. If one of my colleagues acted in the same was as our server did today, Id consider them wholly unsuitable for the industry and would wager they wouldnt last very long in the job. Again, it pains me to post this. I really hope that you guys can make whatever changes necessary to restore the level of service for which you were previously regarded.

12/11/2025: Food was very yummy. It is refreshing to find vegeterian options where the tofu actually tastes like it was cooked with care. Price was also reasonable. Looking forward to ordering again in the future

11/10/2025: First time ordering from Tokyo Kitchen and it was awful. The oyakodon was all wrong, the chicken was deep fried instead of pan fried and was tough instead of tender. The egg was overcooked when it should be soft and runny. The karaage chicken was no better, covered in thick batter with tough meat inside. Definitely not authentic Japanese food. Really disappointing and wouldn’t recommend at all.

20/11/2025: Absolutely terrible staff are so rude no manners look miserable speak to customers like crap my drink tasted off so I went to change it i got spoken to terrible am visiting from Liverpool and I've never experienced a weatherspoons like this!! Staff need training in customer service ASAP!!!

19/11/2025: Food and drinks rarely meet at your table here – what comes first and when is a total lottery. If you want a salad instead of fries with your burger, you have to go to the bar to ask; it's on the menu, but you can't order it through the app. But it's cheap. A good place for large groups.

13/12/2025: Very good food very clean And really nice people to talk to. I will definitely be back. I would highly recommend to anyone that likes good Chinese food best around.

30/11/2025: Best chinese food i have ever had absolutly delicious

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.

27/05/2025: My first time in here,I had the large breakfast roll,tasty and filling,great staff and service

13/03/2025: Lovely friendly staff with lovely fresh food! Just moved into the area so will be a regular for me! :)

25/06/2025: nice cozy cafe hidden between office and residential buildings. the food, drinks and service was great, especially the original omelette and the hummus & avocado toast!

11/12/2025: We had our daughters birthday party there this evening. What a great place, great prices and the 32” pizza was unreal. The staff are legends 👌

25/09/2025: Really bad not teasty. I hope that i wont have stomach ache

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.

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.

20/11/2025: Really lovely restaurant with delicious food

06/11/2025: Great food! Yang's delivers on taste and a nice dining experience. Our large group found the table quite cramped, but the delicious food was well worth it.

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!

21/11/2025: very expensive for a fast food (35e for 2) but quite good

18/11/2025: We were sat at a dirty table that was covered in salt, I went to the bathroom, one toilet had no lock and the other had holes in the door, neither of the taps worked so I couldn’t wash my hands. I came back upstairs and ordered some chicken and chips and when it finally arrived it was like I was eating salt after every bite no matter how small I would need a drink. This would be a good restaurant to go to if you like eating just salt whilst also being surrounded by salt as all the chairs and tables are coated in it. Very disappointed.
