The best restaurants in Dublin

16/08/2025: Sadly, I have to add to the bad reviews as there must have been a change of ownership at Daddy's? Or maybe it's lack of basic staff training? Ordered two sit in americanos only to get two watery drinks in take away cups, with badly pulled shots and plenty of coffee grounds in the bottom. I used to work in speciality coffee, so can spot a carelessly made coffee from miles away. The staff were pretty unwelcoming also. I won't be back!

14/07/2025: Sorry to say I have to add to the bad reviews as of late. Daddy’s used to be known for its phenomenal food and in theory the dishes are amazing. However the standard is extremely low now especially for the price you pay. On the last occasion I visited I was heavily pregnant. I got the full fry, and everything on it except the toast was disastrous. The sausage was pale, the pudding was undercooked and lukewarm and flavour was on the turn, mushroom was soggy, egg undercooked, and the bacon was hard. I would be embarrassed as kitchen staff to send that out. As for the service, we were waiting ages to be seated, ages for order to be taken, ages for food to arrive and no follow up for us to order more coffee etc. The place was dead so no excuse and plenty of staff on the floor. I used to work in the food industry and know that bad reviews can be terrible for a place but given the previous high standard I just hope owners will make some changes to get it back to what it was. As for now I won’t be back and it genuinely makes me sad! 2 stars given for the creative menu but otherwise, 1 star from me

28/10/2025: Very nice pizzas from this Cinellis, with chips and garlic sauce lovely

08/06/2025: Food is great so are the staff!

10/04/2026: On a rainy day, a typical Irish day, why not a Chinese restaurant? The Blue Orchid is a real gem. Behind an unassuming facade lies a small restaurant with old-fashioned charm. The menu is short, unusual for this type of establishment, with no numbered items, only very well-described dishes. Frankly, everything is perfectly assembled and cooked to perfection. The flavors of the vegetables are preserved by the quick cooking time, and the complex sauces are expertly crafted. My only complaint is the cutlery; you have to ask for chopsticks to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere. Thank you to the chef and the entire team for this meal and for the warm welcome. I highly recommend it.

19/03/2026: The food is delicious! The staff are super nice and friendly! I order from Blue Orchid about once a week.

07/10/2025: Great pub with very nice service. Worked perfectly for little gig venue.

27/09/2025: Really cool place! Went here for a gig so not sure what it's like when there isn't a gig on! Perhaps I shall return one day to just have a pint and update this review.

08/09/2025: What can I say its butlers best chocolate in the world

27/07/2025: Lovely coffee especially after the renovation There's enough room for more customers

17/02/2026: Valentine's Day dinner was amazing my wife and I enjoy the food and the service was beyond compare.

12/12/2025: Amazing food and costumer service

23/11/2025: This is a gorgeous restaurant in Blackrock. Food is fabulous, service is amazing and nothing is too much for them. My son arrived very late but they insisted on making a fresh meal for him.

27/09/2025: The worst chinese food ever in my life. This place used to be great but can’t believe how it so bad. all the menu taste like made yesterday so soggy. Don’t go here.

16/10/2025: They claim to have an accessible toilet, so as a wheelchair user I decided to visit this place. Thought I'd check out the toilet before ordering pints. Turned out to be a wise decision. So called "accessible toilet" was a joke. Tiny little bathroom with a bend in it which was impossible to enter in a wheelchair. Front entrance is accessible and it is on the flat but NO toilet facilities.

11/09/2025: Stopped here on our first night in Dublin and the bartender took great care of us, I managed to leave my wallet sitting on the bar with my ID, cash, cards- the lot, and the bartender kept it safe and got it back to me which absolutely saved my life as I would have been here on holiday two weeks without a wallet - he wouldn't let me give him any cash for getting it back to me either pub has a great location, nice vibe inside and the bartender is a real angel on earth!

01/11/2025: Lovely Turkey Club Melt bagel, cozy place, fast and good service, recommended!!

21/10/2025: Very pleasant and friendly staff who are really proficient at their job, our food and coffees took no time at all. tasty simple food!

28/03/2026: Would have been 5 stars as the food is great but they should learn to respect customer's time. had few instances where they would accept online orders and around 20 minutes later when you are expecting delivery, they cancel it from their end. Now it will take another 30-40 mins to eat order from somewhere and eat dinner. If you are too busy then please don't accept online orders.

22/03/2026: Extremely oily chicken sharwma that pretty much made me sick from the oil

03/02/2026: Oliver Dunne restaurants proprietor Acting Manager Assistant Manager "Gaspar " attended to the probel eventually I was asked to leave my seat at The Morehampton after spending over !€100 On food and drink with my partner A guy was screaming loudly on his phone while I was trying to enjoy a quiet couple meal in "the restaurant" part Meanwhile an abusive single guy sitting over his one pint told me to "shut up" when I asked him to have his loud video call with earphones. I felt intimated and was immediately moved to a different table, it was beyond shocking despite fact ambience and decor was typically good, lovely lounge girl and fabulous food, this took away from the experience and I will endeavour to write to the owner Oliver Dunne.
