The best restaurants in Dublin

14/07/2025: Being so close to the sea, one would imagine the fish should be really good here, I was sadly mistaken after ordering fish and chips firstly I noticed the chips were firm and undercooked yet the fish was way overcooked and dry, hard burnt batter that had to be discarded. Overall a very poor experience I wouldn't recommend. The portions are tiny too and overpriced I wouldn't mind that if the quality was good but sadly it's not. I couldn't even tell if the fish was fresh or frozen as it was cooked to a point where the flavour has disappeared and it was just bland dry fish meat

14/06/2025: This place used to nice and reasonable, the old guy there he's a rip off merchant..ordered a batter sausage and not a single chip thrown in, for 4euro!? 50 cents more than most other chippers and couldn't spare a chip, so scabby

04/06/2025: Love this take out. Perfect size portions, great staff and lovely food.

02/04/2025: First time having this chipper and definitely won’t be back. Fish and chip meal, quarter pounder meal and bacon cheese burger meal for 39 euro. Disgraceful size burgers actually couldn’t believe my eyes when I opened the bag! . This looked like it was a kids meal. Bacon tasted awful like it was sitting for days. As well as the appearance looking funny. Only ok thing was the fish and at that the portion size wasn’t good. They put all food in the same bag aswell and didn’t separate the chips which is very annoying. Very disappointing

04/05/2025: i ordered a pizza a week ago there through deliveroo but it didnt come, due to technical errors that was not their fault, regardless the crew made me a new meal pretty quickly the service was fast

26/03/2025: Always forget something in your order I youse to always order from here but now very clumsy staff when you ring back to ask about it hold no accountability or offer credit always act like its your fault and try twist the order and manager is never there wouldn’t mind their prices went up won’t be ordering here again

20/08/2025: Basically, I paid €8.65 for a coffee and a pretzel. The pretzel was burnt, and I pointed it out to the staff, but they said it wasn’t (which is clearly not true as you can see in the photo). I have never seen a café with such rude and unfriendly staff. It was my first time at an Insomnia café and probably the last.

05/08/2025: I often go with my acquaintance to grab some coffee or a hot chocolate. Peaceful atmosphere

08/04/2025: Great atmosphere. Julie mcCabe sings here on Monday nights 7 -10pm and she is absolutely brilliant. Everyone is welcome to sing and Julie gives great support. Always a great night. Spin the wheel is great fun too. 😀

04/02/2025: Owners are very friendly people as is the staff the pint is only 5 euros £5 50c if you pay by card witch is good by me cash is king customers great craic a real Dublin pub in James street

18/08/2025: Shocking. Took two hours for food to arrive. Had to ring them twice. Food freezing cold then, never will give them business again Update: In fairness, Camile's customer service did follow up accordingly.

16/08/2025: Was sad to see the bio degradable packaging has been replaced with other recyclable versions - it is lovely to not wash a thing after your takeaway and who knows if the new ones really get recycled? Food was good as always, delivery a little slow but we expected that on a Friday evening

31/07/2025: Great takeaway. Super food and service! Fast and efficient.

30/07/2025: My son loves the spice bag. I think combo 1. I got spring rolls and they were tiny but nice. I have had chicken balls with curry chips. They were freezing they went straight into the bin. Tonight I got honey spare ribs and they were delicious. The staff are extremely rude

08/08/2025: Food was horrendous and expensive 17:50 for a collection for one. Dry chips, cheap small cheap sausages, lumpy microwave curry sauce.

01/05/2025: Have eaten from here regularly over the years. Its a decent chipper, with very friendly staff. It can get busy but you're never waiting long to get served.

08/08/2025: Missing items from an order, call them and they refuse to send out what I’ve paid for as they’ve ’no drivers’ absolute joke, meal ruined, money wasted. Never again will I order from here

29/07/2025: Lovely food and open late too. Prices are also very reasonable

15/08/2025: A local and authentic fish and chips shop. And above all, very good. Super fresh, tasty fish and freshly made fries, super well seasoned. If you're in the area, go there with your eyes closed.

10/08/2025: For 7.50, that's not a portion of chips + b. sausage

11/08/2024: Does not exist anymore!

13/07/2024: Lots of arcade games and a bar ,it was just ok

28/07/2024: Ordered kebab, it smelled like hot garbage (i swear this is not an exaggeration) and the food was SOOO bland i doubt there was even salt. 2 bites then garbage where it belongs.

22/07/2024: Very poor taco fries here recently. I arrived to collect my order and they had not noticed it on the system. They asked me to wait 5 minutes which I did. At the same time some customers ordered taco fries. When I got the order home the portion of taco fries was laughable for over 10 euro. Very few fries and pretty much just covered in sauce. Would not recommend here. Very bad experience

22/03/2025: Extremely disappointing service. I stood at the counter waiting to be served while two staff members cleaned the coffee machine, completely ignoring me. No greeting, no acknowledgment, nothing. To make matters worse, the manager then came out and started cleaning the counter behind them, also ignoring me. I felt completely invisible. After waiting for what felt like an unreasonable amount of time, I left and took my business elsewhere. I won't be returning. This cafe clearly doesn't value its deaf customers

15/03/2025: Was in this store today with my 86 year old mother and the air conditioning and door was wide open. Had to keep coats on and staff member wasn’t very understanding

20/08/2025: Children are definitely not welcome, if you want a place to eat with the family then don't go here!

30/07/2025: Also suitable for vegetarians, less so for vegans.

18/08/2025: Was walking by, and saw there's a new dumpling option for a starter, so popped in as I love dumplings, the woman working there was very nice, asked if wanted pork or chicken, asked her preference, she said the chicken was her preference..... and they did not disapoint. Seemed like were steamed, then pan fried, just like how I like mine, only regret is not buying a portion of the pork ones also. Will be back for more dumplings!

16/07/2025: I have ordered here for a number of years, and the reason I continued to order was the food and solely the food. Even at a time when their prices dramatically increased, we still continued to support, until last week. We ordered one main, fried rice and spring rolls and it came to 36 euro. The beef and black bean main was small with scarce pieces of meat, and the spring rolls were inedible, as if they had been sitting in oil all day. The final straw was when I rang to speak to the staff, they were extremely rude and patronising. Whatever about mistakes and errors happening with the food, there is absolutely no reason to be rude, especially as a customer who has supported them over the years. I will be ordering again and would not reccommend going forward.
