The best restaurants in Dublin

24/09/2024: went there around 8:30 so maybe we were stuck with the leftovers but the ramen was bland as water. gyoza was stiff like it was a piece of toffee or something. took ages to digest felt it sittin in me stomach for an hour or so after. go anywhere else. kinda sad cause other reviews are so good

18/07/2024: Unfortunately this place has been closed since 6/11 per their Instagram :(

23/09/2025: I booked a small room for a surprise party for my daughters 18th birthday. The room was beautiful and a perfect size for what we wanted. The staff were great and made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered hot and cold platters and there was barely a crumb left over . I have not yet had the carvery here but I certainly will in the near future. Very happy with the venue and I am even considering the bigger function room for the 21st Birthday!

22/09/2025: Excellent carvery, good food good value. Busy but plenty of seating

11/09/2025: Got takeaway from here yesterday and it was honestly the best Thai food I've ever had outside of Thailand. Have ordered here many times before and it was always good, but it feels like they might have got new chefs in because this was out of this world good. The green curry and massaman curries were both delicious and so authentic, as well as the pad Thai, was transported back to Thailand immediately

16/08/2025: Amazing manager and customer service

15/06/2025: Closed on Sunday Too lazy to advertise their schedule. Disgrace.

22/08/2025: Had a lovely, fresh acai bowl, along with a great latte. I managed to leave my jacket behind, and they kept it safe and sound until I returned to get it. Much appreciated! It seems the name has changed to LaHoya z but it doesn't show up in Maps with that name .

10/05/2025: Great coffee shop! My Chai Latte was amazing, thanks to Lio and Fabio's lovely service!

10/10/2025: Fabulous food. Fantastic staff. Well worth a visit ❣️

15/10/2025: Today I ordered a flat white (I had my own cup) and 2 chocolate covered dates and asked to pay 7.80 EUR, did not give attention and paid. Flat white costs 4.20 (with your own cup 4.00), each date costs 1.50. I then saw there is a coffee and cake afternoon deal (2pm-4pm) for 5 EUR. I kindly asked barista if dates were not included in the deal. She said they are included. It did not make sense and asked if she can explain me the breakdown of my bill: she said the cake deal price has gone up to 6.50 EUR today and one of the dates was included in the deal on my bill. I was negatively surprised with the price increase but did not comment on it. I then said but the dates are cheaper outside of the deal and I dont get why we are including one of them as a part of deal if it does not make total lower. If we take all products individually the total comes to 7 EUR, I dont get why I should pay more because they applied the deal where they should not. Barista kindly said she cannot change the rules. To be fair I am not blaming the barista as she was kind and she even offered some pastries later on to customers (including me) as everyone asked about price increase on afternoon deal. The whole thing just does not make sense.

09/10/2025: Great coffee and a nice place to sit outside and people watch!

18/06/2025: Fantastic experience - we booked a family for a christening 20 people and Khan looked after us, we needed for nothing and the food was superb. 10/10

11/06/2025: I took my father here this evening - to the Terrace - and had a great time. We had tried to book a window seat, but upon arrival there were none available. The wonderful front of house said he would do everything to help us. I had told him it was an early father's day dinner for my dad. We were seated in a non window seat initially, but within 15 minutes, due to a no show, he moved us to a 4-top, but made it for just the two of us. My dad had the Dublin Bay Prawn Scampi, and loved every second of it (his appetite can be off, so it was brilliant to see!). I ordered the burger (without pickles), but it arrived with pickles which put me off a little. I removed them from the plate and one of the hostesses asked if everything was OK (truly I didn't really enjoy the burger..too much sauce and the pickle residue was still lingering on the burger) and I just told her it's lovely but I asked for no pickles (I didn't want to ask for a fresh order bc it seemed ridiculous!). She came back later in the meal to say the desserts were going to be on the house - I tried to protest and say it's not a problem, but when the bill came, they weren't there. As a result I left a very generous tip for the servers. The desserts were delicious. Dad had the sticky toffee pudding and I had the meringue roulade (very sweet, but I had room after not finishing my burger). All in all the service was hit and miss (we were neglected a bit at the beginning in favour of the bigger, more demanding tables, and I had asked for a sauce top up which came after we had finished - but I understand they were under pressure), but the managers really stepped up and made it a special night. My dad, most importantly, has been waxing lyrical about it since. They also had a good selection of non-alcoholic wines for him, which was really refreshing. I would definitely go back again - and order the scampi!! Top top marks to the fronts of house...you made it a lovely evening.

30/09/2025: Great family hotel with very friendly staffs

28/09/2025: Everything was perfect apart from one thing … 2 stars taken off because I had room 328 and the motorway noise was so loud that it kept me awake even when the window was closed, I can only suggest that you guys get quadruple glass put in !!! Works perfectly at airports, Breakfast fantastic… Staff very professional, nice location and around 20 mins from Dublin with a car … public transportation is available aswell… room was nice and spacious

12/10/2025: Had dinner in here for the first time. It's conveniently located of the Bonnington hotel so made it an easy choice. It was average overall. The food was ok, the service was average and the atmosphere was alright.

04/10/2025: Honestly was in here tonight with a few friends was kinda quiet. Ordered food the wings were brilliant but I have to say the girl that was singing ally hyland was unreal !!! Would have left straight after food but ended up staying till the end , she had the place kicking !!!!

14/03/2025: Good food and good service. Very nice

12/03/2025: El lugar era caótico debido al sistema en vigor. Conseguir comida y luego hacer cola para pagar significaba que la comida estaba fría, especialmente cuando la persona continuaba hasta que tomó siglos tratar de encontrar artículos. La comida tenía potencial para ser bueno, pero el servicio lo decepcionó.

10/10/2025: Really bad service. Almost didn't speak to me as a guest. Among other things, put a plate of food in front of me without a word. Food OK

09/10/2025: Cozy place with friendly people 🥰 I really delighted that I saw you cafe on my way to another 😄

25/08/2025: A charming spot for chocolate lovers, but renovations are underway Butlers Chocolate Café on Grafton Street has long been a beloved haven for anyone with a sweet tooth. Tucked in the city centre, it's beautifully inviting—perfect for indulging in rich, creamy coffee and luxury chocolates in an elegant setting. Lately, though, I’ve noticed a shift. The portions have gotten noticeably smaller, and what used to feel like generous fare now seems just enough—not quite as thrilling as before. Add to that a slight dip in overall quality, and it feels like the magic has dimmed a bit.

24/08/2025: Well it's butlers.... but that aside the cafe is stunning, staff are super polite and helpful and you get to choose a free chocolate with every drink you order

14/10/2025: Such a lovely café! The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, with gentle classical music always playing in the background. There’s a great variety of beverages, plus fresh pastries and cakes. It’s the perfect spot to meet a friend for coffee or spend some quiet time reading a book. The place is clean, including the customer toilet, and the staff are always friendly and smiling. Highly recommend! ☕🍰

11/09/2025: Their cakes and coffee are great, the staff is super friendly, and the place has a style that makes you feel relaxed just by being there.

11/06/2025: CLOSED!! Walked all the way here to see they were out of business so sad :(

31/05/2025: Too expensive and not worth the money you spend here for foods
