The best restaurants in Dublin

11/09/2025: Super quality & service, breakfast and lunch sorted!

22/08/2025: Recommended cafe, the girls serving are adorable!!!

01/02/2026: I went yesterday with friends to this place, and I really regretted it. First, each person—even non-shisha smokers—must pay €10, which does not include a drink or food- for nothing. On top of that, you still have to stay only 1.5 hour, and you must pay at least €22 more if you want to stay longer. When we ordered shisha, it took almost 30 minutes to be prepared, and it didn’t taste very good. Hot drinks took nearly 40 minutes to arrive, and there was only one friendly, poor waitress working. It wasn’t a great experience.

01/02/2026: Visited this place for the first time and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere is amazing—warm, welcoming, and full of good energy. The service was excellent, and to top it off, the owner himself is incredibly polite and gentle. Definitely a spot I’d love to visit again!

23/10/2025: Shes very friendly and nice coffee I love them ❤️❤️❤️

29/09/2025: Lovely selection of coffees and food. Very friendly staff!

23/12/2025: Guy was nice and spice bags were absolutely banging love this place

15/11/2025: Fantastic food as always. Plenty of vegan or veggie options. I recommend spice bag with tofu 😋 Will be back for more.

28/02/2026: This restaurant can't handle doing deliveries while also being a nice place to eat. Ate here earlier in the week with my partner. I was excited to go because I used to have friends who worked here when it first opened. The atmosphere then was really nice and the attention to being a eco friendly restaurant was very much at the forefront of the experience. Wine is on tap, napkins are recycled and no cash or receipts etc. Very diligently done with delicious food to boot. This idea seems to have gone out the door along with the food and the service itself. We didn't have a booking on arrival, so we were expecting a little wait, but what ended up happening exceeded that expectation. We were greeted with 4 delivery drivers hanging around inside the entrance without a member of staff to be seen anywhere. The drivers were just as confused as we were because we were all left standing for probably 10 minutes without seeing a single server leave the mysterious door to the kitchen. The deliveroo orders were lined up, all one use paper bags, with receipts stapled to them and all surely had a whole assortment of other single use containers inside. Immediately I knew the eco friendly aspect of the restaurant must have taken a backseat in favour of making a quick buck. The drivers were clearly frustrated and didn't want to just grab the orders without confirming with the restaurant first. I expect the delivery experience was almost as bad as the service we received inside. The orders must have been cold by the time a server made an appearance to confirm them. We were eventually sat at our table. The place was relatively quiet, there were maybe 3 or 4 tables around us chatting. A few of them already looked wildly displeased and we watched a table send back their order, which didn't bode well for what came next. We ordered some drinks asked for another minute to decide and then didn't see our server again for another 20 minutes. When we finally got to order myself and my partner watched for nearly 40 minutes while other tables who arrived after us and other delivery drivers (who were again kept waiting) got their food before we had. Mind you we had only ordered 2 mains. When the food arrived it was tragically disappointing. The egg in the carbonara was congealed and the pasta was near raw. The beef cheek ragu was marginally nicer, but was extremely salty and again the pasta was totally undercooked. I was utterly starving so I reluctantly stomached the food. Unfortunately my partner couldn't manage more than two bites before she decided it wasn't worth it. I felt embarrassed because I spent the evening bigging the place up to her. The pre packaged sandwich we got in centra after brought her more joy. More fool me I suppose. We were left waiting another 20 minutes for the 'bill' (a screen shoved in my partners face rather than items being called out). The server decided after us asking that it was an apt time to take a personal phone call and was shouting down the line in front of customers, while wiping adjacent tables for another 10 minutes before coming back to us. I decided it was best to write a review and impact the owner/s rather than complain to him about our night as this seems like a job he's long past caring about. We reluctantly paid full price and we left in a hurry. There's no explanation for raw pasta after nearly 40 minutes of waiting unless the kitchen is pressured into cooking faster or isn't able to handle the volume of food being paid for. There's no explanation for floor staff being missing for extended times unless the place is vastly understaffed. If the owner/s only care about making money they should do themselves a favour and make this place a takeaway ghost kitchen, because the charm and care that originally went into service has been left in the dust. What a shame.

28/02/2026: The service from both the waiter and the manager was a 10/10. We tried the beef check and the bolognese, the pasta was a bit too al dente but it was still lovely

10/08/2025: Warning for travellers looking for a nice coffee, avoid this place. Google maps suggested here for a coffee for us on our journey. After ordering a cappuccino and latte and waiting over 10min I was handed what I can only describe as what looked like 2 half cups of muck! When I asked which is the cappuccino I was told they are both basically the same, they are instant coffee! They used instant coffee and warmed milk in the microwave and that's what we got, with a lovely layer of milk skin on the top of it might I add! I paid 7e for this and regret accepting it, we drank 3 sips, found the milk skin, felt ill and threw away the rest, it was honestly the worst coffee we have ever had. What annoyed me most was I wasn't told this when I ordered. I worked as a waitress and I would always tell my customers that ordered decaff coffee that we only had instant and if that is OK with them. (We had coffee machines with regular coffee for those who didnt want to drink nor pay (3.50) for a watery instant coffee u get free in a sachet in hotel rooms!). I expect transparency at the very least as a customer when ordering.

10/08/2025: We stumbled across this place as we were traveling round the area and ordered the half portion dinner's which were delicious and very good value. Would highly recommend the food in this little gem.

22/09/2025: Best food ever and the pizza is very delicious 🤤❤️

15/09/2025: Great experience… great food and great custom service

07/10/2025: I would like to make a complaint about a very disappointing experience at your café. The staff member who served us was extremely rude and unprofessional, behaving as if she was doing us a favor instead of providing customer service. We really enjoy your coffee, but this kind of attitude completely ruins the experience. I hope management takes this seriously and ensures proper customer service training for the staff involved.

27/09/2025: The place is so nice and has lots of variety of beverages and food as well. The staff is so unfriendly and grumpy! No smiles at all , I didn’t feel very comfortable there.

05/03/2026: Food poisoning after ordering from here

24/02/2026: Areal gem on the Northside of Dublin , Pros, it's on a bus route, food is great, Staff are attentive and helpful, not long waiting, you can eat upstairs or downstairs, price is reasonable. Cons...

23/10/2025: Usually nice ice cream selection! Disappointed to say they closed early today! Usually they open till 5 but we were told @ 16:05 its closed and they cant serve

14/09/2025: Great coffee. Good service. Good range of pastries.

27/02/2026: A lovely friendly place with a good atmosphere.

23/02/2026: Great little cafe! The coffee was really good and the lunch was delicious (jacket potato and cajun chicken) Staff were super friendly even though they were clearly very busy. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed. My daughter got an açai bowl and loved it. Will definitely return

16/02/2026: Staff are very helpful and friendly and the food is great

08/09/2025: The lads are great and look after you. A decent local, nothing fancy. Decent pool table.

13/05/2025: A pint company & a bit of crack 🫠
