The best restaurants in Dublin

24/10/2026: Excellent food and setting. Staff were friendly and professional. A quality restaurant

11/10/2026: Very tasty food, good cocktailsz and excellent wine options. Gluten free easily catered for with no issue. The interior is so lovely, and the staff are so warm and friendly. It's tiny bits of polish that would just elevate it even more: check a glass for a lipstick stain, for example. Totally nitpicking, but the music playing didn't match the vibe of the room, and I wish the lighting was less bright.

03/10/2026: I had the chicken donor and I found it really good I would recommend 👌

03/10/2026: Today we visited the place and the food as always was very tasty and fresh! Highly recommended to anyone! Friendly staff!

23/10/2026: Amazing food and view..the servings are huge and very suitable for sharing. Fresh and light to taste.. the view is of the open water and we got to some locals playing something on their boats.. the place os very clean and gives a cozy vibe.. the staff are very nice too.. a must try when you visit Howth

20/10/2026: A wonderful experience at Aqua Restaurant in Howth! The gentleman at reception was absolutely amazing and made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed the best fish and chips while watching a beautiful sunset. What more could we ask for? ❤️

24/09/2026: Warm and inviting, great atmosphere and can't wait to go again.

15/09/2026: The night we were there they were showing a Liverpool fc game, which spoiled the atmosphere a little.

21/10/2026: Bar 1661 in Dublin is a really cool place with a great atmosphere. The menu itself is impressive, you can tell a lot of care and effort went into crafting it. I loved how it pays tribute to the local businesses that helped build the bar and contributed to its success. As for the drinks, they're tasty, solid, and innovative, definitely miles ahead of your average random pub in Dublin. If you're new to craft cocktails, they'll probably blow you away. From the perspective of someone who's visited a few places on the World's 50/100 Best Bars list, they might not leave you completely spellbound, but they are genuinely good and well-crafted. The only downside was the reservation. Even though I booked a week in advance and confirmed the day before, it felt like they completely forgot about it. Upon arrival, I was only offered seating at the bar or right by the entrance, even though I could see empty tables further inside. Despite that slight issue with the table, it's still a solid spot overall and worth a visit for the menu concept and a good drink.

21/10/2026: Interesting cocktails with a detailed menu book, we tried the Belfast coffees and surprisingly served cold, very tasty, then we tried a couple more made with porcine very different but really nice, dark lighting and atmospheric, it’s a must try, good service.

18/10/2026: Amazing service by Markus. Food, decoration, super fast and staff very kind and friendly.

18/10/2026: The best steak in Dublin! Exceptional service.

30/10/2026: Lovely food and staff, would highly recommend

28/10/2026: If i could give 10 stars i would Breakfast is lovely every time And the staff are so nice 🥰

15/10/2026: Great place and seating on many floors. Bartenders and servers were great. My food was delicious but wife's brie wasn't fully melted. Nothing wrong with the food, I've had better, but you come here for the drinks, location, music, and atmosphere.

15/10/2026: It's really lovely there, just like you'd imagine a pub to be. Live music, a great atmosphere, and delicious beer.

08/10/2026: Always lovely when visiting Dun Laoghaire to walk to the forty foot

06/10/2026: Wonderful place for sea swimming. If you are lucky, you may meet seals and sea otters but even of you aren't you'll still definitely meet a lovely, friendly, little community of folk enjoying the water. Tá sé ar dóigh!

19/10/2026: Really nice atmosphere even on a Monday in October.

19/10/2026: Wonderful food, great service! Would highly recommend to anyone in the area

04/11/2026: I've had my fair share of carveries and this is definelty in my top 3. Great price and taste. Will be coming back

01/11/2026: Dropped in before a concert at national stadium..would have loved to stay maybe next time. Staff very nice.

27/09/2026: We had a great experience overall! The restaurant is definitely on the pricier side, but the atmosphere and service were absolutely on par with the price. Our food came out a little later than expected, although it was a busy weekend, so that was understandable. What really stood out was our server, Sherry. She was excellent—professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. During our one-hour stay, she checked in with us several times, which was just the right amount of attention for us without ever feeling intrusive. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and appreciated the great service and atmosphere. Sherry definitely helped make the experience a memorable one!

26/09/2026: ★★★★★ An outstanding dining experience in Dublin and easily one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, polished and incredibly attentive without ever feeling overly formal. The dining room is elegant and intimate, creating a relaxed atmosphere despite the restaurant’s fine-dining credentials. The tasting menu was beautifully executed from beginning to end. What impressed me most was the balance and precision of the cooking — complex flavors and excellent ingredients, but nothing felt unnecessarily complicated or heavy. Each course flowed naturally into the next, and the presentation was beautiful without overshadowing the food itself. The pacing throughout the evening was excellent, and the service team did a wonderful job explaining each dish while still allowing us to enjoy the meal at our own pace. Chapter One manages to feel refined and special while remaining genuinely welcoming. A memorable meal, exceptional hospitality, and absolutely deserving of five stars. One of the restaurants I would most happily return to the next time I’m in Dublin.

23/10/2026: Recommended by a friend and did not disappoint, staff are friendly and the Guinness is flawless. The toasties are the best I've had in Dublin and for €8 with a pint you cannot complain

22/10/2026: Nice little pub on francis Street. Just had a quick visit. Didn't have food.

06/11/2026: Tristan is a great server who was also easy to get hold of and made the experience great

06/11/2026: Great food. great service from our server Tristan

03/11/2026: I wish I had better things to say about this tour but I really found it quite underwhelming unfortunately. The guidedntour is only about 45 minutes long and I found the whole thing really quite rushed. The first ten minutes they tell you about the history but I found it very short and the guide has clearly done this a hundred times or more which I felt while he was talking. You're really paying for the three sample shots of whisky that you get to try at the end and I just didn't feel like this tour was worth it.

03/11/2026: Two great tours! Learned a bunch about the proud tradition of the Jameson family and products. Thanks
