The best restaurants in Dublin

21/08/2026: We heard about this famous Chocholate cafe and stopped by a few locations. Minimal seating outside. But nice location. Would recommend visiting if your in Dublin.

17/07/2026: A lovely chocolate shop where you can enjoy a hot or cold drink and a pastry. A great bonus: a delicious chocolate of your choice is offered free of charge! Very pleasant welcome, friendly staff.

05/07/2026: 5euro for, not a large, not a medium, but a v small coffee, not even great quality, oh and if you like it hot, not recommended. Don’t mind the price if they give a proper sized serving. And the pastries left out on counter, were dry and hard. Price gouging at its finest, has the celtic tiger returned?

25/09/2026: Pad Thai was soooo dry and without any flavor. I cannot recommend

07/09/2026: Came at 8.40 and they said we are closed. I came from almost an hour away . Disappointed!!!!

23/10/2026: The fish and chips is absolutely delicious and very generous! Be warned, it's a very large portion!

03/10/2026: Great food and great ambiance!!

30/09/2026: Very nice environment and fine food excellent service

26/09/2026: Been going here for decades. Always good. But the calazoni holdover I had was too bread like and not crispy. The other food was fine.

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!

18/09/2026: Met a good friend for a quick bite at lunchtime. Service was friendly and efficient, food was very tasty and reasonable value, and environment was clean and inviting.

14/08/2026: Hard to say nice things.. below average, expensive, under seasoned food - The omelette was watery and tasteless, the Hollandaise on Benedict was lacking seasoning and bland, with no home fries or sides served for 15.50€… Not worth the money

24/08/2026: What a delightful hotel. Beautifully appointed interior. Breakfast was a wonderful selection of hot and cold treats. Front desk hosts very welcoming and helpful. Dining staff appeared less trainef

28/06/2026: We booked a table for brunch at 11am, only to discover upon arrival that there is a gap between 11 and 12 during which neither breakfast nor lunch is served — something nobody mentioned at the time of booking. We waited nearly half an hour before being brought a handful of small pastry bites and scones. We had ordered two servings of pastries, and what arrived was five modest little bites between us. When we queried this, we were told it was indeed for two people, yet the tables around us were receiving noticeably more generous and varied spreads. The impression was that we had simply been given whatever was left over. A bottle of water at €9.50 and cappuccinos at €6 each would be easier to stomach if the coffee were actually well made — it wasn't. Service was slow throughout, and the outdoor seating, rather than being a pleasant bonus, featured a loose blind repeatedly hitting the stonework for the duration of our visit. For a five-star establishment, this fell well short.

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.

08/10/2026: Thankfully the coffee is good because the Cheese & tomato toastie @ €6.10 is pathetic - its only half a sandwich - very little tomato for the price !!!! Hugely overpriced @

22/08/2026: Today I remembered why I stopped coming at Costa. Had a mocha with burnt coconut milk and terrible coffee flavor. Undrinkable. Left if full.

15/06/2026: Reviewing bar food only: Only my second time here having enjoyed my first visit. Arranged a long overdue meetup here with family member. Lovely ambience. However, as is the case most places nowadays, prices gone up while food quality & quantity gone down. Risotto (€22.50)was tasty, though some ingredient was a bit like chewing bamboo, also the Parmesan chip was difficult to chew. Small portion for the price. Family member had Kilmore Quay fish & chips with Smithwicks batter (€23.50). Fish portion small & mostly bland batter. The piece of fish was thrown on top of the chips.The mushy pea puree was almost non existent. The chips weren't nice so she didn't eat them.These two meals with a cappuccino & hot chocolate made with coconut milk came to €55.50. I paid it but made it very clear that the food was not good. At another time I would have sent it all back & cancelled my order. However, we had so little time to catch up that I didn't bother. Would definitely visit again for a cuppa but won't have lunch here again. Staff are lovely!

10/05/2026: Excellent hotel, centrally located and very well connected. The staff were very friendly, especially Paula who helped us with the booking at all times.

17/09/2026: Rude bar staff. Good atmosphere and good crowd.

13/07/2026: Great atmosphere with a group of 4 playing Irish music. No food is available but one can buy food elsewhere and go wash it down with a pint (or two) there. Highly recommended!

11/10/2026: Ordered 3 sets of Classic Tandoori with rice and mango lassi with my family of 6 with 4 under 10 years old. Delightful customer service by all the staff. Very pleasant, well mannered, super helpful and generous portions. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the ambience. Definitely top food spot in the island of Ireland! Food was amazingly delicious, flavourful and tasty. Thank you to all the staff, we had a lovely evening!

03/10/2026: Best Biryani in Dublin. You should check them out.

15/10/2026: Best Burrito I had in my life. Was there years ago, still comparing every Burrito with the one I ate there. Such a smart idea to do mexican fastfood. Need that in my country too!

07/10/2026: Kip. Cold meat. Your one beside me was chewing the ear off me. Toilet was clogged

04/05/2026: We miss you, please come back. We are lost without you.

25/04/2026: Was great a few years back. Gone to the dogs!
