The best restaurants in Dublin

29/11/2024: Interesting - over the years we have been very loyal supporters of Magee products. Including having had tailor made suits made for many occasions, including our sons wedding party in Cork. Most recently my second son went to the Magee shop in Sth Anne Street to select similar for his wedding party, such was the abysmal level of customer service and indifference he and his fiancée decided against this. Despite their experience and having been referred by the Arnotts franchise, yesterday I visited the FlagShip South Anne Street Store to be met with a completely overwhelmed (on their own) and indifferent staff member, who merely pointed out two rails of navy and grey suits that might meet my 'regular' fit requirements, but provided no further assistance/suggestion. Unfortunately this seems to be a recurring theme at this store and it is a real pity - there are so many 'ordinary' people that are supporters of Magee products and Irish industry and brands and in my opinion are not being well served by this approach.JMcG

25/11/2024: Bought a fabulous tweed blazer!! Great shop

25/11/2024: I love the food here, especially the lamb doner!

20/10/2024: I always got the snack box after along day and it sure did cheer me up, saw to see ur still closed

16/06/2025: I went here to try a Spice Bag. I would recommend it. Their popularity means the place gets busy / cramped quickly.

16/06/2025: The food here is delicious. At the time, I had some issues with my order as wait time was 30 minutes. I raised this concern with manager Roman who by far has the best customer service I have every experienced. Thank you Roman for restoring my faith in your restaurant!

30/05/2025: Wish there was a zero stars. Won’t elaborate here but will not be back.

04/03/2025: Not my first visit...collected food and when I arrived home 5 minutes later the food was COLD. No reason for this. The mixed starter plater was terrible, everything from frozen pre made, no flavour and cold. The mains were really small each contained 4 small pieces of chicken per serving but the most disappointing was the flavour, non existent. The naan bread was wet and soggy.....It seems here in Ireland now we accept any old over priced rubbish as standard. Please don't ever feel it is not right to complain when its terrible service or food. You are spending your money and expect something better then this in return......

18/06/2025: Really friendly cafe serving consistently good quality food with attentive efficient staff. I particularly love that they use tea leaves resulting in easily the best pot of tea I've found in Dublin. So many focus on just coffee. Also decent loo roll and paper towels in bathroom a welcome gesture.

28/04/2025: Avoid at all costs, foods not worth the awful atmosphere and if you absolutely have to go pray to god you aren't there the same time as the manager. I mean just look at his replies and ask yourself if this is the guy you want handling your food.

29/05/2025: My food was never delivered after I ordered online. After over an hour of waiting I rang the restaurant and they could not give me any reason as to why this was the case. When I asked to cancel the order, they said this wasn’t possible and also would not allow a refund

28/04/2025: We were staying at the Skylon Hotel on the other side of the road and after a few days we concluded that this little Asian restaurant was the best restaurant in the immediate vicinity.

15/05/2025: We were really looking forward to trying their food. We ordered a bowl and a burrito. The food was a bit cold, which we didn't like, as in our opinion food should be hot. The worst part was how spicy it was... Personally, I couldn't finish my plate; it was inedible. They should tell you this when you choose the ingredients; we've eaten at other similar places, and they always inform you. I like Mexican food, but not spicy food, and the two go together well. Otherwise, everything was fine. The flavor of their dishes, despite the spicy food and the fact that I had to drink a Coca-Cola and two liters of water, is good. The place has its charm, and the staff is pleasant.

10/05/2025: over priced food. the mcdonald’s of the mexican food. anyone who eats in Boojum and thinks it’s fair are brainwashed. better places to eat. quality of boojum is gone down. greedy owners.

25/05/2025: The owners are just super. Done a fit out on the new sports bar and it looks great

03/05/2025: Best pub for drinks and great atmosphere

15/06/2025: As a Deliveroo courier, I’ve picked up orders from many restaurants, but your establishment is by far one of the worst when it comes to how couriers are treated. Let me be very clear: your staff are consistently disrespectful, dismissive, and unprofessional towards delivery drivers. Even when the food is ready, they refuse to hand it over. We’re constantly told “5 more minutes,” yet end up waiting 20 minutes or more. This is a blatant disregard for our time and effort. We are not showing up at your door for fun — we are working, just like you. Couriers are an essential part of your business, responsible for getting your food to customers. And yet, we’re treated as if we’re a nuisance, not as professionals. Prioritizing dine-in customers while leaving couriers waiting unnecessarily is completely unacceptable. This careless attitude causes delivery delays, angers customers, and ultimately hurts your restaurant’s ratings and reputation. This situation has gone far beyond what’s tolerable. If there is any competent manager on site, they need to take immediate action. Your staff need to be properly trained and warned about how to treat couriers with respect. If nothing changes, I will have no choice but to escalate this issue through Deliveroo and any other appropriate channels. An anti-courier attitude benefits no one. Either you fix this, or your restaurant will quickly earn a reputation among couriers as a place to avoid at all costs.

10/06/2025: Unfortunately, we only realized too late that the good TripAdvisor review is already 10 years old. The service was poor; the waiter stopped taking his order in the middle of taking new guests to their table, with the result that we later had a double order on the bill. The expected apology was extremely poor. The waiters were otherwise unattentive and by no means particularly friendly. The food was mediocre. We hadn't reserved a table, and the space we were assigned was small and cramped, even though there were only three tables occupied in the entire restaurant. The floor was dirty and covered in poppadom crumbs. You should avoid the ladies' restroom; it's filthy; the coat hook on the door is broken, and the toilet seat is only attached by a single screw. The liquid soap was practically empty, and the hand-drying device was of poor quality. We cannot recommend the restaurant.

08/06/2025: Bad service, sent me wrong order. Had to ask three times before they took my order. And refused to pack my left over food.

30/05/2025: Very happy with the quality of food and customer service will definitely be back.

29/06/2025: Classic milk tea + pearls, super delicious Pearls are very chewy

07/05/2025: They do a stunningly good cappuccino here. Add the warm and kind service, the proximity to a Luas stop and you have a must go to destination.

23/05/2025: best dumpling I had in a while! and the person working here is so nice.

12/04/2025: I had traditional milk tea. The drink is okay, but the tapioca pearls aren't that great. The staff are friendly.

17/04/2025: Un po’ caro ma secondo me buonissimo ! Un fish and chips ottimo e poco unto. Abbiamo preso anche dei gamberi e delle Cipolle fritte

29/03/2025: Comida sobrepreciosa. Solo pedimos patatas fritas y salsa de curry y nos cobraron más y tuvimos que obtener un reembolso. La salsa de curry no era propia salsa de curry picante y las patatas fritas estaban ligeramente calientes en el mejor de los casos. No diría que es “tradicional” como se anuncia. Se fue decepcionado.

07/05/2025: Everything smells African - from the door to the inside. Food is also filling especially with the malt drink.

05/04/2025: The food is good, but the customer service is the worst I’ve experienced. The staff are consistently rude , which completely ruins the place. It’s clear there’s a serious lack of training and accountability. No matter how good the food is, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who values being treated with basic respect.

09/06/2025: Excellent bar, very friendly & professional staff

06/06/2025: Grand spot for a pint.Nice barman...
