The best restaurants in Dublin

29/12/2025: Attended before a concert in the 3 arena the week before Christmas. Took over 15mins to get served as lots of concert goers and christmas partys present. Did manage to get a seat. Nice atmosphere.

12/12/2025: Wonderful staff and location in close proximity to the 3 arena. The staff are very sound and facilities while could be improved are adequate

26/02/2026: Costin was very kind and friendly.

03/02/2026: Ordered lunch yesterday from here and it was spot on. Chips were fresh and cooked perfectly, && the chicken kebab was unreal ++ great portion. Friendly service as well. Will definitely be back.

22/03/2026: We went to Howth, and after a long walk, we came in here. My son wanted fish and chips, but he has allergies to dry fried foods and mustard, and that dish contained mustard. But a helpful employee suggested grilling the fish and making it gluten-free. So my son was able to enjoy it. The rest of the food was delicious. The quality-price ratio was good for the location. The staff were friendly, and the wait was relatively short (considering the restaurant was packed).

22/03/2026: I was there just before noon. It was very busy on a Saturday. The staff were still friendly, even if a bit stressed, and the food was good. It got quite noisy after a while because of the large number of people. Otherwise, I'd gladly go again.

04/05/2026: Had a wonderful wedding reception here! The staff couldn't have been nicer - attended to every need with zero fuss! Easy access to central Dublin.

29/04/2026: Really love this place staff is great highly recommended 👌

24/12/2025: Smelling like an ashtray in the cinema rooms is an understatement, worst experience I've had in a cinema, never again

12/12/2025: Why are the lights always kept on. The ticket prices are way too much. I think this odeon needs an upgrade it could be a much better place to watch films.

07/04/2026: Good food and drink sold here. Great views out over the bay.

05/04/2026: Very cool place 👌 Irish vibe. Nice view

19/04/2026: Excellent food, such variety of tapas.

08/04/2026: Went there in a Wednesday afternoon. The place is nice. Everyone was very friendly and polite including other customers. I really enjoyed the comfortable seats. I had a ginger beer with bitter lemon and ice that I like and the pasta of the day that was really really good. Big full plate. My partner ordered a pint and some meat and he was really surprised with the size of the portion. The meals were great. I would recommend the place. The only negative aspect I've found was that I could perceive in the place a smoke smell that I didn't understand if it was from cigarettes or something else. So, if you're sensitive to that could be something to be noted. I had to be honest. But I would definitely come back for drinks and food.

25/11/2025: Great service, food was yummy, felt like I had finally eaten substantially (if you are south asian you know) Food was nice quality and halal so definitely recommend Definitely should be busier. Very underrated

30/10/2025: Got the Twisted Tikka Masala and my boyfriend got some curry dish. The curry was good, but the Tikka Masala was not what I would consider a Tikka Masala. The flavour was only of tomatoes, there was minimal spices added, the colour was red rather then the usual orangey colour. I ordered for takeout so I was glad to have spices at home to fix it… but I would have definitely asked for something else if I was there in person. Pretty pricey as well for the quality and portion

16/04/2026: Have to say Hats off to the owner. Exactly what drumcondra needed. A real focal point and social hub in which to meet , enjoy and be proud of one of the best pubs on the Northside hands down. From the 1st steps in you are consumed by the intense amber decor and lighting and the further you go in the better it gets. A sublime, almost hypnotic atmosphere just slaps you and you cannot help but be impressed. The staff compliment it beautifully, looking after every detail as if you are the most important person in there. Five out of five?? I think ten out of ten would be a better rating . Food bot available currently but when it is I look forward to another review of this Northside gem.

10/04/2026: Patrick’s Carthy’s is cheaper and has a better atmosphere

20/10/2025: Glad to see it open again after a very quick patch up (paint on outdoor tables still sticky as they didn't seal it) and not much changed inside, but food not up to the mark (tasteless salad, which was kindly replaced and Cuban sandwich in name only). Would definitely go back for a pint outside, but still feels outdated on the inside. Much better friendly service than under last owner. Updated review (October 25): Thanks for your response below! We went back and new menu is great. Best lobster roll I ever had!

18/10/2025: I cannot fault the Queens bar. It's lovely

11/04/2026: Great food the steak was great must try… Like the food and overall experience was great will must visit again. Tried the phy cheese must recommended

11/04/2026: Food and service was good.Really enjoyed the philly cheese stake with the pepper sauce.The overall atmosphere was also great

24/03/2026: Ordered takeaway through the chutni website.. Food was ready by the time we arrived ... Good taste and affordable price rate.. Ordered chicken malai kebab, butter chicken , chilli chicken, lamb dun biriyani & chicken dum biriyani.... Butter chicken and the biriyanis were perfect flavours and all of enjoyed the taste.. spices were up to the mark... Chilli chicken was okay but the kebab was a bit salty.. did not reach our expectation and taste...

20/02/2026: I’ve been a regular customer at Chutni Take Away for quite some time, mainly because their previous menu was absolutely full of flavour and variety. It was honestly one of the best in town, and that’s what kept me coming back two or three times a week. It genuinely stood out from other takeaways. Unfortunately, since the menu change, the experience hasn’t been the same. The new menu feels very limited, and the dishes lack the bold flavours that made this place stand out before. It feels a bit bland and less exciting compared to what it used to be. I truly hope the management considers bringing back some of the old favourites or expanding the menu again, because this place had something really special. I’d love to become a regular customer again.

21/11/2025: Lovely staff overall great experience

08/08/2025: Manager Vilma needs to be fired. I seen her screaming at a women with her child over the lady asking to use the bathroom. Going from 0-10 over very trivial matters, zero professionalism, extremely aggressive. I told her that woman was with her child and she smirked. Disgusting I’ve never seen a manager behave like this in any of the other chains. The fact that they keep her on says a lot. I feel sorry for the staff there god knows how she treats them.

23/12/2025: Over priced which is a given as it’s next to the Hyatt.

21/12/2025: The place is just lovely. Gorgeous display of pastries, nice decor and a little wall full of coffee beans ,equipment etc. the vibe is really nice overall. Some staff members have an attitude towards others which I noticed and also some of them don’t even prepare/serve the food and coffee with intention, just more of a “here you go” kind of attitude. The coffee always lacks here for me. I’ve tried the coffee 4 times now, it’s either sour or tastes like throw up. Haven’t tried most of their pastries so can’t review that really.

13/10/2025: My experience in ITSA Bagel wandaful staff, I love their bagels I always ordered Hawaii, service number. The atmosphere pleasant 😊

11/08/2025: Great value for bagels! I had their Californian bagel for under €8 and it was great! Now, for me, a tiny stomach girlie this portion was perfect but if you have a bigger appetite then you might need 2 bagel sandwiches. The bacon in my bagel was a bit dry but other than that it was all good for the price and it was a quick turnaround and they are made fresh and the staff are lovely too!
