The best restaurants in Dublin

17/07/2026: Great value, freshest ingredients, and large portions.

11/07/2026: I used to go a lot more to this place. I find the staff very unfriendly, the burritos are generally soggy and the tables unclean. The poor service is across the board, the staff don't seem to enjoy their time there and the burrito is average at best. The quality has slid over the years sadly.

04/08/2025: Cleaver East has been my friend groups go to place for all of our birthdays for the past 7 years. The bottomless brunch is incredible, quick service, great cocktails and great food. Decestated that it's closing due to the hotel renovations but hopefully it opens back up and we can continue to go forever more!

03/08/2025: Our favourite restaurant in Dublin. So sad to it close. We eat again here on Sunday 3 august closing nite and had another amazing meal. Good luck to all your wonderful staff ,, it’s been a lovely 12 years of dining here. From max & Harry

17/05/2026: I loved the toilets smelt so fresh, but i dropped my burger in the urinal, it made me cry , i went outside and coloured in the kids page and then i listened to micheal jackson on the dukebox, would defo recommend to family and friends and collegouges and old friends from school but not my neighbour john, he never cut the grass outside my house

02/05/2026: Good for a treat every now and then

26/12/2025: We arrived at The Port House Cava for our booking at 1pm Christmas Eve. The restaurant was empty except for one table. All the other tables were vacant. The server greeted us and immediately warned us he needed the table back at 3pm. That’s fine. We sat. We waited. The same server was down the back chatting with the kitchen over the pass. We waited a little longer, still no drinks order was coming. I decided to draw some attention to our table by going up to the empty bar. The only occupied table gave me a glance that I read as a comment on the hopeless service as they tried to get the same servers attention. He was still chatting at the pass while the only two tables were both waiting for some attention. Up to the bar he saunters, I ask if we can order some prosecco. We only have Cava he says “they are the same thing”. No there not I reply, but ok let’s have a bottle of cava and if you don’t mind 6 glasses for our table. Back at our table he produces a wine list which would have been handy when we were seated. The cava arrives. It’s barely chilled. I say nothing. Again the same server reminds us that he needs the table back at 3pm. My blood is boiling at this stage as my family as I are made feel like we are an obstruction of sorts. The food arrives and it’s delicious. Well presented. Well cooked and a delight. The first bottle of cava is empty. I’d like to order another but the server is back down at the pass chatting again. To command he attention, again I get up and venture to the bar. Another server has started his shift just before 2pm. He’s more attentive. We order another cava and a bottle of rosé. 2.40pm and the 2nd server starts clearing our table. 2.50pm and they are hovering around our table to let us know it’s almost time to go. The restaurant is still empty except for one other 3top table. The bill arrives and I settle at the bar leaving half the tip I normally would. I ask the server why the hard push on getting the table back while the restaurant is empty. He has no answer. Which points me toward the owner or manager who I know will read this review. So, dear sir or madam, your pockets would be better lined if you spent as much time on encouraging your staff to deliver a good experience rather than a punctual one. You’re employing bus boys, not servers. We’re paying for the experience of which the food is only part. The atmosphere was dead just like the bookings. What’s the different between The Port House Cava and Tapas Del Lola? The staff. The staff. The staff. You’re doing Camden Street no favours with this diabolical customer service. I strongly suggest you consider adding some charm somewhere because you’re just not at the level of some of your good neighbours.

23/12/2025: Amazing place. Prices too high.

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!

22/06/2026: I ordered food here yesterday and spent the night vomiting and diarrhoea if I could 0 stars. potatoes where boiled not roasted

30/05/2026: The best chicken caesar salad I’ve ever had.🔥👍

21/08/2026: Best college in dublin i recommend everyone to go here tud blanch on top

04/09/2026: It looks super modern and spacious. But I don't think they have enough staff to serve on the terrace. We ended up getting up to order at the bar. And once they served us, they didn't clean the table after the people who had been eating there before (so I had to ask them to). The Guinness wasn't poured very well, to be honest (photo attached). I liked the place, the terrace, and the views. And the drinks are reasonably priced. I give it a 3.

09/08/2026: The view was spectacular and the food was delicious. The wait staff were attentive.

31/07/2026: I was here last night and the staff member called saorise was very nice. I had questions about the menu and she was happy to explain and let me take my time. My girlfriend and I were very happy with the service, thank you saorise

27/07/2026: I ordered a burrito bowl for delivery and honestly feel kinda scammed. The portions are ridiculous for the price. Just about half the box is all you get for 15e. Never again!

14/08/2026: The price for a pint of Coors is €7::20 that's way out of order it's too MUCH for a pint of COORS,,,, I LIVE 7 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE SWALLOWS

30/05/2026: Great place for a drink and grub

08/08/2026: Decent coffee. Nice and modern. Good pastries and very friendly staff

04/07/2026: Very lovely staff and amazing coffee

10/08/2026: popped in with the kids, very friendly

23/07/2026: Absolutely filthy… Tables are packed even though the place is empty. The free tables are disgustingly dirty. The cake display is filthy. The floor is sticky… And the worst part is the restrooms. So filthy it almost makes you sick.

03/09/2026: The guys are nice, but the cooking is absolutely disgusting. The food is of the lowest quality and completely tasteless. We've ordered different dishes there several times, and each time we were left with unpleasant feelings and memories. I'll probably never set foot in this place again, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone either. There's a Chinese takeaway across the street where the food is much higher quality, healthier, and delicious.

16/08/2026: Fish and chips in box. Cornelscourt

07/07/2026: Great boozer. With friendly staff and regulars

08/06/2026: We loved the atmosphere, go for it!!!

02/08/2026: It was match day but they had only bottles left, no draft witch i think was bs cause it was still early

11/07/2026: Sticky floors, wall-to-wall match day programmes, tourists should visit on any GAA match day in Croke Park just to sample the atmosphere. Rival supporters standing shoulder to shoulder chatting, laughing and the occasional slagging. Nowhere else in the world does this happen. Go see it for yourself.
