The best restaurants in Dublin

07/09/2026: Sometimes they are great and some other times like today they forget they serve real people. Today the waitress, on a cold rainy day, refused I go to the toilet because she was closing 5min later. But they were still open with 10 more clients inside. Won't go again, staff should treat people like people.

21/08/2026: It’s quite okay, much the same as other Insomnia branches.

09/08/2026: Absolutely lovely meal, staff were great. Will be back again very soon.

27/05/2026: Lovely food every tim. Love their jazz evenings. Very friendly sraff.

19/07/2026: Best pizza around! Light, tasty, and amazing value in their meal deals. highly recommend!

19/07/2026: Always fresh, always delicious! the chicken tender and kebab are my best. Highly recommended

24/07/2026: There was one barista guy with a very poor attitude. He seemed to dislike both his job and the customers. My friends and I were playing some games, but throughout our visit he was hostile and kept staring at us with an unfriendly expression, which made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. At some point we left the place. It really affected our experience. I hope management addresses this.

13/04/2026: Pleasant staff, bright and clean space. always the coffee is lovely

22/08/2026: Slowest staff on the planet Gen-Z haven’t a clue about the service industry Ireland used to be efficient and now it’s an absolute disgrace One machine to serve all these people. Sort out 3 machines

16/08/2026: Worst matcha ever! And it took them 20 min to make it 🥴

12/09/2026: Atmosphere inside is nice and service is quick but as I was standing outside an older man who looked like a bouncer/security guard shoved me out of the way. Did not attempt to apologize or anything. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.

03/09/2026: Shocking Guinness. Bar staff obviously havent a clue.

26/08/2026: had a good drink but quite overpriced

10/08/2026: The staff is not nice, the tables are dirty.

21/08/2026: A gem of a Deli. My self and my brothers have been coming here since January of this year. The coffee is terrific and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Lovely selection of pastries and scones. Fantastic selection of sandwiches and wraps freshly made on the premises. It can be busy but the staff are very efficient so never s long wait. Part of what makes Dublin great.

31/07/2026: Delicious and fast and the personnel was very patient as my tourist brain was trying to understand the logic of the menu 🙈 thanks!

07/07/2026: Great service and excellent staff

29/06/2026: A really nice pub, good pints and service.

01/08/2025: Disappointed with my order from Bell Pepper, Kimmage I work as a delivery driver, so I know how to handle food properly to avoid leaks or spills. This time, I ordered for myself via pick-up — a soup and a spice bag. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. When I got home I saw that the soup was already leaking underneath, I did put it in the termal bag with support, to do not leak but still, and it didn’t taste good at all. The spice bag was shockingly small for the price, and most of the potatoes inside were undercooked and few pieces of chicken. On top of that, it was extremely spicy — far beyond what I’ve experienced before. I’ve had plenty of spice bags from other places and they’ve been amazing, but this was the first time I ordered from Bell Pepper in Kimmage, and sadly, it will also be the last. Very disappointed. I would not recommend.

18/07/2025: Ordered a thai green curry and jasmine rice for delivery, food came well before the estimated delivery time, was piping hot and most importantly tasted delicious, excellent job, would highly recommend this place 😋

11/08/2026: Simply lovely. I had a steak sandwich with double steak and bacon.

23/07/2026: Rip-off, thrown together paninis. €9.00 for a toasted roll with Ham & Cheese. Madness.

31/08/2026: Everyone there was awesome including Amber and Luke!

18/05/2026: I was there yesterday to celebrate my friend’s birthday. I ordered a burrata as a starter but received mozzarella instead. I pointed it out and was told that the chef had guaranteed it was burrata. Very disappointing. I know what burrata is, and I wouldn’t have ordered it if I had known it was just mozzarella — essentially, I paid for burrata but received mozzarella. After the starter, our main course took a very long time to arrive. To make things worse, the “Classic Club” sandwich — which was what most people at our table actually wanted — had already sold out because of the party taking place in the garden. Also, my friend had reserved the garden, but it was double-booked and we were seated inside instead. That was fine, as the weather wasn’t great anyway. However, the ambient sound stopped working and none of the staff were able to fix it. Other than these issues, the food was good.

11/09/2026: atmosphere is like relaxing in your living room with friends!

03/09/2026: The new owners gutted this incredible Dublin pub and ripped every bit of soul out of it. A crime against the people of Dublin. What an absolute travesty. Honestly nearly burst into tears walking in to see what they've done to it.
