The best restaurants in Dublin

21/08/2025: I'm pretty sure this is my first ever review. Just been to this café 30mins ago, chose it over the one next over because it looked cozy. The breakfast bap was good, the cappuccino was good but very small for the price. Unfortunately the man behind the counter (owner?) Was very rude to me and the staff when I was ordering at the till. While I was waiting for my food and then eating, there was a very loud discussion going on in the kitchen between the ?owner and two staff. Only one young, very friendly waitress was in the front running the place on her own even though it was very busy and she clearly needed help (which she mentioned but was ignored). It was very uncomfortable having to witness how staff was spoken to and the only reason I'm giving two stars is because of the waitress, who was handling the situation in a calm and professional way, and the quality of the food. But would definitely not go there again and wouldn't recommend.

19/08/2025: This place is recommended for anyone looking for a cozy café. However, according to other reviews, they definitely don't serve vegan breakfast.

24/09/2025: I do not recommend the matcha , I got iced vanilla matcha and it was so sour and bitter with lumps and grains . It’s like spoilt milk , made me feel sick . Took ages to order .

14/09/2025: The place is pleasant, though in the typical style of new coffee shops. What really stands out online is the hot chocolate: made with real chocolate, yet disappointingly thin in texture. A shame, since I went specifically to try it because real hot chocolate is rare to find in Dublin.

11/10/2025: You have deceived me once you shall not do it again

03/10/2025: This was a great find for food and literally every culinary taste was catered for. You could order, rolls sandwiches or choose a carvery dinner. We went for the Wok Box. This was cooked fresh while you watched on and boy it was fantastic. We were going to order a side of chips but the portions were huge. I had to have my favorite desert Apple pie and cream which was scrumptious. The girl even heated it up for me which was a huge bonus. All in all 10 out of ten and well be back...

30/10/2025: The coffee isn't good, but the pastries and sandwiches are adequate. The atmosphere is pleasant.

25/10/2025: The staff is terrible, they didn't ask what kind of glass they were pouring into, glass or cardboard, takeaway or in, the communication was terrible, they gave my latte to another person, I had to wait 5 minutes.

02/09/2025: Superb food. Love the duck curry.

13/08/2025: lovely staff, fresh food. My go to!

03/10/2025: Best spicebag! But Google maps and the website opening times need to be updated. At the moment it says it’s open till 1am on Thursday when it is actually 12pm. I ordered online for collection at 12:35pm but got a call at 12:10pm saying I needed to collect my order asap as they were closing. This should be amended to avoid confusion in the future!

30/09/2025: Today , I'm order the Duck black bean ( less salt , less msg , less sugar , no carrots) and long tray boil rice . But they make the food sweet in duck black bean and boiler rice warm .. the food not delicious and 1 star 4u

22/08/2025: Great meal in there on a busy Saturday evening. The bruschetta had so much freshness and pesto I want to marry it. One main was stunning and had to take some home there was so much. The sea food linguini was brilliant with one on top for photos to friends! Few glasses of house red to assist it all go down. Fantastic Italian food in a great little spot.

05/08/2025: A low-end restaurant with tasteless dishes. A disgrace. The only positive note is the polite manager.

03/09/2025: spicebag lit on foenem grave👅 chairs on fleek cuh 💯

29/08/2025: Spice bag still great! 👍 Cool chairs

11/09/2025: I had dinner but I didn't enjoy it.

07/09/2025: Very good restaurant, well organised with polite staff. I've been eating almost everyday here. Id get back when im in the dublin to order my fav chicken burger 🍔 😋

05/08/2025: Whoever said this was good food needs to be checked I’ve ordered for delivery 3 times and it was cold with 1 hour wait absolutely disgraceful it will be my last time i only live 3 minutes away on satnav and cold food every time bearing in mind I’ve eaten hear for years this used to be one of the best chipper but now it can not be eaten who ever is cooking this food wants to kill someone and the delivery driver must be blind because there is no return with your food but good luck I hope this place gets shut down

14/09/2025: Another good circle K Nice shop, nice deli and the staff are so friendly it's a pleasure to go in

09/09/2025: Today I was going to look around in this shop at Grafton Street (10-10-2024). The security fella asked me which beer I wanted. I told him I was just looking but he doesn't understand me. He asked me to leave shop. I was trying to change my mind but he just asked me to leave. I did not even say nor did I do anything wrong. I wasn't even trying to steal anything either. He seemed to be quite rude. I was bit upset, uncomfortable and worried. I was also bit confused about it. Right, that's it! I am not coming back to this shop ever again. If you're reading this, avoid the shop.

21/08/2025: A nice Cafe at dlr Lexicon for small urges 😃. Wonderful hot chocolate 🍫

05/09/2025: My favourite caffè nero. Best atmosphere good desserts and coffee.

30/08/2025: Very nice venue and great place to work on your laptop, definitely recommend!

19/10/2025: Food wasn't great. Got a snack "C" box which is shredded chicken, salt and chilli chips, chicken balls and curry... the shredded chicken was very dry and stringy. The chips had absolutely zero seasoning and zero chilli. The chicken balls were huge and the chicken in them was good but the batter was soggy. The curry was heavy on the 5-spice which as a dip was nothing special but poured over everything was actually delicious. We added fried rice which was also good. Overall it was passable but there are a ton of better Chinese takeaways in tallaght... unfortunately this was the worst one we've had. I think I would try something else on the menu as it is highly recommended but not rushing back. I don't know if it was just a mistake by the takeaway not frying it off with seasoning and veg but it badly needed it. Maybe it's wrongly described on the menu? I didn't phone them to rectify as didnt fancy driving back over. Staff were pleasant upon collection.

16/10/2025: This is our most go to Chinese never had a bad meal they are like my 2nd kitchen for food 🤣 Highly Recommend Love the food here and the chips do be so nice 😊 and the staff are so nice people to 💖💖💖
