The best restaurants in Dublin

13/12/2025: Why didnt I go there earlier? Its an amazing cozy, cute cafe with excellent service and coffee. Best for 2 people or 1. We tried -Avocado lime butter on sourdough 4⭐ Loved the idea, it would make this to an amzing balanced dish if there was an egg/mozarella to balance the tangy taste. But my partner loved it. - weekend special fluffy pancakes with fresh berries 4⭐ Loved the fact that there was generous amount of fresh berries and really good pancake.The cream was way sweet for me otherwise i would give it a 5 Cortado and Mocha ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soooo gooood they use Badger and dodo's coffee beans. Amazing vibe and service top notch.

15/11/2025: Simply great, pleasantly lively yet relaxed and quiet, super friendly and fast service, mega delicious food, and the flat wait was super.

08/10/2025: Used to be a big fan but stanards have fallen significantly of late

05/10/2025: Get the spice bag. Whether you sit down inside or eat it outside trying to keep it dry from pouring rain, it is delicious. If you order anything else, keep your poor rating to yourself for picking the wrong menu item to order and eat.

04/06/2026: Staff very friendly made our stay memorable. Room clean and bathroom excellent. Food excellent and service 👌

31/05/2026: Stayed nine nights. The hotel and staff were amazing! Shout out to Colin! I wish I knew the other names of the staff. A small complaint was our room was not air conditioned. We came during a heat wave. Infact we had no rain our entire stay. They did bring us up 2 fans to help us sleep at night! Thank you Maldron for making my 60th dream vacation the best!

13/05/2026: Menu was not available and it had limited food options.

24/04/2026: Must have changed owners , food was awful , service was awful , chief was eating food as he was preparing ,no hygiene AVOID

17/05/2026: very generous portions and delicious

17/05/2026: Had a bar meal for two here. I ordered the steak sandwich well done but it was delivered burnt and tasteless. It was €23.95 and very expensive and a small coke bottle was €3.90 . A lovely efficient waitress but I won’t be back.

24/04/2026: Probably a hidden gem in Lucan Village. Great food, amazing hospitality and a vibrant ambience.

23/04/2026: New menu in our restaurant: We now accept table reservations. Chang

04/04/2026: Venue and the comedians were absolutely delightful for the night. My comment really came from this waiter who came up to me and my friend who sat at the back of the venue and told me there's absolutely no talking during the show when I was mumbling to my mate about how funny the comedian on stage was while this table of guys next to us were flat out laughing like hyenas as per the comedian describes. Absolutely perfect line up with some serious questionable hospitality.

01/04/2026: Great fun night. Would recommend.

20/03/2026: Lovely staff ,reasonable prices,great food,can get busy sometimes so must be patient

19/03/2026: Meh, its just meh. Itll do if youre hungry enough but its nothing special. Did find a curly blonde hair in the curry which kinda wrecked the whole thing after. Driver took ages to deliver, bag wasnt closed so everything was already tepid when it arrived

24/03/2026: Ordered takeaway through the chutni website.. Food was ready by the time we arrived ... Good taste and affordable price rate.. Ordered chicken malai kebab, butter chicken , chilli chicken, lamb dun biriyani & chicken dum biriyani.... Butter chicken and the biriyanis were perfect flavours and all of enjoyed the taste.. spices were up to the mark... Chilli chicken was okay but the kebab was a bit salty.. did not reach our expectation and taste...

20/02/2026: I’ve been a regular customer at Chutni Take Away for quite some time, mainly because their previous menu was absolutely full of flavour and variety. It was honestly one of the best in town, and that’s what kept me coming back two or three times a week. It genuinely stood out from other takeaways. Unfortunately, since the menu change, the experience hasn’t been the same. The new menu feels very limited, and the dishes lack the bold flavours that made this place stand out before. It feels a bit bland and less exciting compared to what it used to be. I truly hope the management considers bringing back some of the old favourites or expanding the menu again, because this place had something really special. I’d love to become a regular customer again.

20/12/2025: Online it says they open at 7:30am on Saturday yet when I went at 7:35 I was told they do not open until 8am.

29/09/2025: As a regular visitor to Butlers in Ballsbridge I’m writing this review as a very disappointed customer. I order extra hot, hot chocolate. Nearly every time I receive it ,it’s lukewarm. Not even hot. It’s either far too milky or too much lumps of chocolate. The staff need more training and the outdoor seating area is often very dirty .

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

24/03/2026: I didn't enjoy it. Guinness was €6.90 on the expensive side.

26/01/2026: Great pub ....staff friendly and a bit of crack .....pint lovely

18/12/2025: Was helping a friend with some delivery's. Afterwards got some food from here. It was not the best. I got the spice box that they had suggested trying. It tasted weird.

16/12/2025: Really tasty food (noodle box was great and very fresh) Staff were friendly. I recommend!

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.

23/04/2025: A temporal experiment where minutes become currency in this pay-per-minute social space. Board game selection ranges from Neolithic to post-digital. The tea station's perpetual simmer creates a comforting temporal anchor in this chronologically fluid environment.

13/04/2025: Was looking forward to trying it but cancelled our booking last minute!
