The best restaurants in Dublin

28/09/2025: When the staff shout at a customer across the room there is a problem. Serious hospitality training required here. With only one till they are a limited operation. Not a good experience. Go up to Shoe Lane or Two Beans and do yourself a favour.

03/09/2025: For some staff everything is more important than serving customers

01/02/2026: DO NOT GO HERE INSECTS IN FOOD Myself and my boyfriend ordered two subs each today and after my boyfriend took a bite of his we noticed small grey insects crawling out of the food. We called them up to let them know and the person on the phone was horribly rude kept saying "what's the problem" after telling them there's insects in the food. He said "well then take a picture if that's true". We'd already threw the food out in the bin because I was horrified. Honestly a horrible attitude to have from the staff and I've gotten sick from the thought of it all.

06/03/2026: Really great place, once you try it you’ll be coming back all the time. I highly recommend the ramen and the noodle box.

27/02/2026: The food was nice and crispy, would definitely recommend

07/09/2025: Came here with my dad, wanted to sit down in the EMPTY cafe. They guy said we can’t get one coffee and sit down and kicked us out. there was only table full of people every other table was empty.

17/08/2025: Great spot to have a coffee.The service and the coffee are fantastic. Everytime when we visit Dublin we go here. 15 years and counting.Keep up the good work! Hello from Halle,The Netherlands

30/10/2025: Poor service, not nice food. Wouldn't return

10/10/2025: Really understaffed cafe. One person on the till and making the coffee/tea the queue was long. Tables were very dirty. Coffee was great

24/04/2026: Extremely disappointing experience from Burger King Finglas. I ordered €45 worth of food via Uber Eats and received completely incorrect burgers. All four burgers were missing sauces, toppings, and fillings — they were basically just buns with a single chicken patty. This is unacceptable for a branded fast-food restaurant and does not match the quality expected from Burger King. For the price paid, the order was completely unsatisfactory. Very poor quality control and disappointing service. I have reported this issue further.

22/03/2026: Nice clean dining area, Food quality and tast as usual what all burger king offers. Not disappointed at all.

19/10/2025: Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the "Italian coffee" expectations the logo suggests. The coffee has a bitter, acidic aftertaste, and the desserts are a bit dry.

12/10/2025: On Sundays at 8 a.m., there aren't many options for a small vegan meal. I'm not a fan of coffee, but the other options were superb: friendly, ambiance, food, and open on Sundays. The vegan options are clearly listed on the website. The apple crumble was our highlight 👍👍👍

17/12/2025: It's a bit dull and boring waiting around for the food, most other chippers have a bit of craic , but the food is decent , chips are great

16/12/2025: All the remorse but sadly little of the joy from a bag of chips and onion rings. Nice staff and very clean and not expensive Probably got them at a bad time without the chip turnover so not as nice as fresh ones

11/04/2026: Amazing food Have tried multiple items across the menu , all were amazing and the quantity is also great. The staff also are very nice and helpful

17/03/2026: Good price. Food portions were good but some dishes I wouldn't order again.

12/10/2025: Absolutely horrible cinnamon roll I saw the old comment and I trusted but was a huge disappointed

30/09/2025: Horrible cinnamon roll. Used to be one of the best in town.

01/08/2025: Lovely staff last week. Two very friendly blond people male and female on reception Cleaning needed though.

20/07/2025: The documentary on Mairéad Farrell was both sad and poignant. She was a pretty and intelligent girl who ventured down the wrong path, since violence will never resolve any issue. Mairéad should have been united with the late John Hume's ideology, dedicated to peace. If not, she should have moved from Belfast to Dublin. This is an old conflict that I hope will be resolved.

19/12/2025: I order boojum wayyy more than I should and it’s honestly my favourite but I’m literally begging you guys to stop watering down the sour cream😢 Back in the og boojum days you got the spoonfuls of sour cream, now it’s super watery:( I always ask for both regular and vegan sour cream to make up for it but today the vegan sour cream came out of the bottle like water, and there was a little pool of water in my bowl :( please guys I beg you to just say your all out❤️

09/12/2025: Our to-go place for a quick and filling meal. Very quick and high quality This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion

17/04/2026: I am planning to join the Master’s in Cloud Computing program for the September 2026 intake at NCI. While researching, I came across a mix of positive and negative reviews from students. Some students have appreciated the faculty and course structure, especially in technical programs like data analytics and cloud computing. However, I also noticed several concerns regarding administration, organization, and communication. As an international student, these reviews are a bit concerning because support, clarity, and proper management are very important when studying abroad. That said, I understand that reviews can vary based on individual experiences. I would really appreciate hearing from recent students about their actual experience with the Cloud Computing program, including teaching quality, job opportunities, and overall support. Looking forward to making an informed decision.

14/04/2026: I am unsure how this beautiful college has so many negative and one star reviews. I did masters in data analytics 2 years back and I am just in awe with the curriculum. I wish I could back and start everything again :)

15/02/2026: Have been going to this restaurant for years...Last night obviously Valentine's we booked a table I asked for the same we always book because my wife has mobility issues. We got there at 5.10 there was an issue over the table but was resolved after a few mins..We were told they needed the table.back by 7.30 which was fine..Seated at 5.20 and both starters & mains by 6pm even though we asked for a break. We were not asked if we wanted a dessert juts tea or coffee. And when we said no mints were brought over on a plate which you usually get when you get the bill. We felt we were been rushed and didnt enjoy it. We would be reluctant to back when there ion an occasion because you dont get the same treatment.

31/12/2025: Very disappointed with our experience. We were told the waiting time would be 45 minutes, but ended up waiting over 2 hours for our order. When the food finally arrived, the order was completely mixed up. We ordered two prawn curries, but instead received three duck dishes and only one prawn dish. This was especially frustrating as two people in our group don’t eat meat at all, so they had to share one dish. The order was over €70, yet there were no prawn crackers, no apology items, and nothing complimentary added. Given the long delay and mistakes, this was very disappointing. Overall, poor service and lack of care. We won’t be ordering again.

23/11/2025: I love Butlers but this particular café isn’t pleasant to visit. Staff rush customers and are quite rude. Mediocre beverages also. Doubt I’ll visit again.

17/11/2025: I love Butlers coffee and shops but can't say the same about this particular shop, staff are super unfriendly. The coffee is not a good one, too strong or boiling hot. Customers at this particular coffee shop also have an air of superiority which makes the ambiance unpleasant.
