The best restaurants in Dublin

26/06/2025: Tiny, comfy, close to the sea and the 2 guys there are so lovely! Specially TUK 💘 He's lovely!

20/06/2025: The service was below expectations. There was no Wi-Fi available, and it was unclear who was managing the facility. Overall, a disappointing experience.

23/11/2025: Not recommended at all. The food was low quality; I'd be better off making it at home. They didn't have white wine—how can they not have white wine on a Saturday night when they are the most busiest? Unbelievable. The music was very loud; it felt more like a bar than a restaurant. Everyone was shouting, and I could barely talk to the person next to me. I'm giving it one star because I can't give it zero. I didn't eat comfortably at all, and I only stayed because I was hungry. To top it all off, the pasta carbonara is supposed to have pancetta, but it wasn't even bacon. The prices are cheap for Dublin, but I wouldn't pay €5 for a dish there. I think that's clear.

22/11/2025: We went on a special occasion, our 16th anniversary, and to be honest was a disappointment. We arrived and the place was very cold, it was a rainy day, heaters were off and people were wearing their jackets. Noticed heater was turned on only much time later. It doesn't feel like a restaurant more like a fast food chain, staff didn't really pay attention, they just seemed all in a hurry to do everything, you feel the pressure to make your order. My husband got the gnocchi and I got the fennel ragu. My pasta was ok, the gnocchi was very blandz it was supposed to be the mushroom but there were none. And gnocchi portion is very small. For starter we took arancini and the bruschetta. When you order a bruschetta you think it might come maybe three small pieces, it's a bruschetta but no, it comes only one small slice of bread for 8 euros, super overpriced. In the end not a very nice experience, not coming back and can't recommend.

07/12/2025: This was a magnificent meal.Simply the best fish and chips I have ever eaten in Ireland in the 3 years I have lived here!The service was great and friendly too.ill be back soon!Many thanks.

29/11/2025: We came here today and got very disappointed with the food Ordered steak and chips and a burguer. Burguer was burned and steak came just 6 slim slices. This is too expensive for what was offered.(28 eur for it). The fries were soggy and al food in general werel very salty. We came here other times and was good but after this experience we are not coming back. Menu also changed, so not returning.

01/08/2025: Lovely staff last week. Two very friendly blond people male and female on reception Cleaning needed though.

20/07/2025: The documentary on Mairéad Farrell was both sad and poignant. She was a pretty and intelligent girl who ventured down the wrong path, since violence will never resolve any issue. Mairéad should have been united with the late John Hume's ideology, dedicated to peace. If not, she should have moved from Belfast to Dublin. This is an old conflict that I hope will be resolved.

02/12/2025: Fantastic warm helpfull staff friendly smiles and fast service will definitely be back hardly had to wait at all.! The food was delicious 😋.

11/07/2025: Holy cow! Was not expecting the amount of food that I got, was an absolute feast! Had a steak sandwich combo. Steak sandwich was amazing and as mentioned earlier huge! If I lived in the area I'd be back every chance I could.

01/08/2025: Assolutamente da provare. Si trova nel pieno di Temple Bar ma, a differenza di altri locali, qui non c'è il frastuono della musica live. Cibi squisiti e personale simpatico e molto veloce. Noi abbiamo provato la beef stuve, super buona. Se andate nelle serate di grande afflusso dovete avere pazienza, c'è da fare un pò di fila, ma ne vale assolutamente la pena.

30/07/2025: Nachdem wir 30 Min. auf der Strasse auf unseren reservierten Tisch gewartet haben, war das Erlebte dann wirklich nicht sehr gemütlich. Chaotische Zustände im Restaurant. Bierfässer werden im Gastraum und den Toiletten gelagert. Der Burger war trocken, unterstes Level. Ambiente, ist nicht vorhanden eingepfercht wie Tiere. Das Ganze ist einfach eine gut organisierte Abzocke.

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.

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.

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

09/09/2025: Nice pub, didn't have food, its very good by all accounts. Dog friendly which more pubs wirh beer gardens need to be.

14/07/2025: Great food, good beer, and friendly staff. Nice pub. Kitchen closed after 6:00 PM.

30/10/2025: Possibly best chips in Dublin. Always cooked to order but worth the wait. Good, traditional Irish/Italian chipper. I'm from the country and I always try to call here when I'm up in the big smoke. Always a bit of chat and crack when I'm in there. Highly recommended.

29/08/2025: Best quality chipper in the area and the staff are great. Had an issue once in the last 7 years and the owner was a gent and gave full refund.

18/10/2025: I came to have a cappuccino after a good walk at the park. Very friendly staff but in other hand, the coffee wasn't the best. The barista burned the milk while steamed it for more than enough time to create the foam. My cappuccino was so hot that burned my tongue.

04/10/2025: So many Saturdays here. Great for every weather!

23/08/2025: Had the nicest breakfast with my husband today and honestly, the food was sooo good! We went for some crispy potato hash and a sunshine protein bowl – such a perfect combo to start the day. The coffee was amazing too, rich and smooth ☕😍 And I have to say, the service was super friendly, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

23/08/2025: A great spot for coffee and hearty food while catching up with friends and family! Lasagne today was amazing, the team working there are always super friendly :)

02/07/2025: Visiting Dunlaoire and Dunphys looked like an authentic Irish pub. Unfortunately the welcome did not match. A young tall ginger slapped a sloppy, overflowing, unsettled Guinness on the counter and said that’ll be 6.80 and when I muttered, would you not let it settle he retorted, “do you want it or not”,I replied no and I don’t like your attitude (well I don’t like yours ether, he said !) and I left. (Wed July 2nd) Got a contrasting reception and a smashing pint of Guinness in The 2 Foxes.

27/06/2025: Came in for some drinks on our holiday with our 3 year old son says no buggies but they didn't mind us storing ours in the door way so long as it wasn't in the way. Great pub lovely old decor and great friendly staff. Had the Ambush Pale Ale was incredible with the glasses chilled in the fridge. 10/10 would get pissed here again.

05/12/2025: Got delivery tonight, we were very happy with the quality of the food! And delighted the driver came right up to our building, as people often don’t for apartment blocks. Unfortunately our duck pancakes didnt come with pancakes… which was quite disappointing. We also requested no mangetout in our sweet and sour chicken, but it still came with it, but that’s very minor. Will order again, but maybe check our delivery bag before taking it.

02/12/2025: Nice place to sit down a little and to treat yourself a bit 😉. Obrigado!

24/10/2024: The salt beef sub was outrageously good, I will be back to try the rest of the menu.

27/09/2024: The Mexican pulled pork neck is goated fr🙏
