The best restaurants in Dublin

14/05/2026: I'm a self confessed food snob, but every now and then, all you want is a bacon double cheeseburger and Soermacs rarely disappoints.

20/04/2026: The young lady who served me was friendly & efficient. The burger I ordered was so over cooked it was how I imagine chewing leather might be. The garlic cheese fries were cold & swimming in a white sauce totally void of any garlic flavour and there was just a sprinkle of cheese, so disappointing 😞

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 Would definitely go back for a pint outside, but still feels outdated on the inside.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

25/09/2025: The food is really good and looks and tastes freshly made. I usually go for the chicken curry and the chicken is nice and tender and doesn’t have that stale and hard feel to it. The portion is very generous and the staff is really friendly. I’ve been eating at Lean Bean one a week for over a year and their food is consistently good and is relatively affordable and healthy. I definitely recommend it!

26/08/2025: The coffee from here has gone downhill. All you can taste is warm milk. You cannot taste the coffee at all. We got an iced mocha and it had loads of chocolate grains at the bottom. Also got a cappuccino and it was bad. Ive given this place a few chances recently but I can't anymore.

16/07/2025: Ordered a acai bowl which had mould fruits. When we complained the server just removed the mouldy fruit and said it is fine to eat now. Not sure if they practise any hygiene in there. If you don’t want to get food poisoning than avoid this place.

25/06/2025: just love the place... the halloumi wrap is just to die for

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

03/04/2026: Great place for excellent takeaway food.

01/03/2026: The food was delicious and very warm. The service was polite.

31/12/2025: Worst staff in the history of existence. They are horrible and rude and literally avoid you. I went up to the counter to ask for a small cup of tap water (which they are obligated to give me, a customer that had paid for a sandwich and a treat) and both women working at the counter just pretended not to see me while they carried out other tasks and chatted to one another. I literally made eye contact with each of them and would open my mouth to speak as they walked towards me, but they would immediately blank me. Seriously, where are we hiring these people from? The depths of hell? Also the Italian flatbread sandwich is proper minging. My sister started crying because it was so bad, and it also cost her a whopping 7 quid. The ratio of filling to flatbread was ridiculous and purely inappropriate. I’d rather eat a mop and I’d say the flatbread would have had even better soakage than a mop, so maybe I should have swapped it out. The Christmas sandwich I got was okay, but I have no idea why they excluded cranberry sauce. Walk yourself an extra 8 minutes down to literally ANYWHERE ELSE. If sub-par food and sub-par staff is your thing though, I certainly know a place

16/11/2025: The staff, in particular, are very polite and friendly. The food is fresh and delicious. Thank you. We want more branches.

01/11/2025: Nice food and coffee but the service and clearing of tables leaves a lot to be desired. So many occupied tables with clearly empty plates and cups were not removed. I even saw come customers clear a table themselves before sitting down. Also, the waitress delivered a coffee to my friend and spilled it all over the saucer. Didn't even apologise nor offer to clear it up. Very disappointing.

30/10/2025: Nice cute spot with lots of seating.

26/09/2025: Loved the food, very flavorful curry, fresh naan and a delicious mango lassi

22/09/2025: I thought the food was delicious, and I’ll definitely be back

04/05/2026: I come in here all the time and am often served by Mark. He always delivers excellent service and carefully takes my order to make sure nothing is missed. When I order hot food he always prepares it in a hot food bag with cutlery. Keep up the great work 😊

26/02/2026: Ordered a caramel cappuccino with full fat milk, was served a semi-skimmed milk cappuccino with no caramel syrup, was charged for the caramel syrup. Went back and told lady at the cash desk that this was not what I ordered. She smiled but said nothing, didn't offer a replacement, didn't offer a refund. Very disappointing customer service.

06/03/2026: Absolutely top drawer. I ordered a snack box the other day and a quarter pounder with cheese and bacon today. You can't beat it. 💯 The staff are friendly too.

27/02/2026: Overpriced dirt. Meal deal with a bottle and stinging people with cans the last 2 year ..goodluck

18/04/2026: Very good pizza without a doubt will return thanks guys.

31/12/2025: Got the shovelhead (swapped Salame for Italian sausage), the parma, the vegan garden with buffalo mozzarella, and the Salame. They were all amazing. Really really enjoyed, will definitely be ordering from here again :))

23/10/2025: Got a sandwich today for lunch When I asked the girl behind the counter, what was in it? She told me she didn’t know. I decided to get it anyway and it tasted awful. Come on guys you really need to up your game.

13/10/2025: Stumbled in for a cinnamon bun, easily the best in the city! Very refined baking! Can't wait to try the rest

16/05/2026: Food is made fresh and very tasty. The service is great!

04/05/2026: Ordered 4 spice bags on uber eats. Took over an hour to arrive; food came extremely soggy and with water dripping out the box - called them to let them know and the man said he would call me back but never did despite me calling again multiple times.

22/02/2026: Sadly now permanently closed (February 2026)

27/01/2026: Magnificent! Food on point and the mocha was simply the best i’ve had in Dublin. Definitely would come back.
