The best restaurants in Dublin

04/07/2025: Very friendly staff and great atmosphere 🤗

17/04/2025: I’ve been to Starbucks all over the world, and here in Dublin, I visit almost every store with the exact same order every day. Today, I went to the Dundrum branch and had a really disappointing experience. A barista named Claudia told me she couldn’t fill up the cold foam on my drink because “it’s not secured.” I was genuinely confused. I’ve never been told that before. Another barista came over (she was lovely) and kindly asked, “Do you want me to fill it up?” which I really appreciated. Claudia then rolled her eyes and shook her head in disapproval multiple times, which felt unnecessarily rude. Her tone was very dismissive, and to be honest, it was the worst experience I’ve ever had with a Starbucks barista. I’ve always loved how friendly and welcoming Starbucks staff are, both here and abroad, but this was the first time I felt genuinely uncomfortable. I just wanted to flag this because her attitude doesn’t reflect the usual great service I’ve come to expect from Starbucks.

14/08/2025: Nice fresh cooked breakfast. Proper coffee.

13/08/2025: Ordered Sandwich and Chips 2 glasses of wine ! After a 25 minute wait we paid for the wine cancelled the food! They appear to give priority to their Deliverroo orders! They need to up their game! I wouldn’t recommend it! A couple at an other table were waiting 40 Mins and it still had no food! Advoid!!

29/08/2025: Irish Prets are still depressingly bad at vegan options. If the answer is another sludgey "falafel", you're doing it wrong. Still excellent oat lattes tho.

17/08/2025: Open early morning on Sunday. It’s a great spot to have something little for breakfast, I tried an interesting latte with ube. It’s a bit cold due to the air conditioner in some places.

02/08/2025: The people on the phone are so cheeky😂😂bad service they’d want to get new staff the attitude

03/07/2025: Top quality food, served quick, friendly staff with a good atmosphere and reasonably priced. Couldn't ask for more.

24/07/2025: I got food poisoning after eating there few times and i saw a staff that wasn’t wearing gloves and she just throw things in the burger with her hand. Very unclean and unhygienic

24/07/2025: Staff always friendly and on the ball, Ryan and the other Managers/Supervisors run the show brilliantly

21/07/2025: On Sunday, I experienced racial abuse from an elderly man in his sixties at Costa in Shankill. Accompanied by my nine-year-old daughter and my younger brother, I witnessed an unsettling encounter. The man struggled to use the card machine, resembling an iPad, prompting my brother to politely suggest that he tap the top part. In response, the man aggressively retorted, "Mind your own f-ing business and go back to where you came from." He further stated, "You are in Ireland now." When I asked him to elaborate on that statement, he refused to respond. I also heard him mumble something about being a woman, though I couldn't catch the exact words. His behavior escalated as he began licking his lips and eyeing me in an unsettling manner. He had a distinct accent, which I could not pinpoint—possibly African or New Zealand—but it was clearly foreign. When I confronted him regarding his remarks and inquired about his origins, he merely laughed and declined to answer. This experience has left me feeling unsafe about returning to that Costa. Such behaviour is utterly unacceptable and should not be tolerated in our community.

05/07/2025: Bright, spacious café on two floors. The barista (tall, red-haired guy) was very fast and skilled, yet he always found the time to smile. Perfect spot for meet-ups and my cortado was delicious!

04/08/2025: Visited from Belfast because of good reviews. The mango strawberry mochi did not disappoint, whipped cream blended well with flavour & mochi. But the Asian guy tending the store last 29/8/2025 at round 4pm was nasty. I asked politely if they still make a specific bun but he answered sarcastically and was making faces when I was trying to pay using my mobile. Maybe I was treated poorly because of my skin colour but regardless I was with my white husband still got a bad service. Would still come back for the mochi though.

08/07/2025: You can buy a variety of breads at a cheap price!! I ate pineapple bun? and bacon bun Both were above average delicious I will visit again to buy other breads next time!

06/09/2025: hookah is absolutely not tasty, 0 strength, I didn't like the place at all, and especially it's expensive, I don't advise anyone to come here

13/08/2025: Chinese proverb: "He who cannot smile should not open a cafe."

15/09/2025: I hadn’t ordered from this takeaway in 9 years, it was underwhelming back then but holy wow has it changed! 🤤 My aunt and uncle visited this weekend and she kept saying she wanted to order from there on their last night so I cautiously agreed. I’m so glad i did, we couldn’t stop ‘wowing’! We had the crispy duck pancakes to start, Thai green chicken curry with noodles, sweet and sour chicken with rice, massaman chicken with rice, prawn crackers and an amazing surprise extra (we think it was the Thai honey something chicken). Generous portions, amazing flavours, everything was genuinely perfect. I love that they do both Chinese and Thai dishes, and I’m already planning my order for next week to show my husband when he’s home how much it’s changed. (We ordered and had it delivered via Deliveroo, I’m not certain if they Deliveroo if you order direct). You’re officially my new go-to! Right now though, I’m looking forward to my lunch leftovers, thank you! :)

09/08/2025: The girl that delivered was sound, fast delivery and food was just as fab. Thanks

16/08/2025: Good coffee, friendly staff. Cleanliness leaves much room for improvement. Many armchairs were stained and dirty. The toilets are a disaster! Smelly, filthy floor and walls. At least there was toilet paper. Can't recommend!

13/08/2025: Estábamos en la zona de muelles y pasamos por esta cafetería. Entramos, nos sirvieron rápidamente y pudimos sentarnos y usar el wifi gratuito. Buen café, pero los productos de siempre.

06/09/2025: Great latte and service. Lots of seating indoor and upstairs.

23/08/2025: Una agradable cafetería con algo de comida disponible, si eso es lo que quieres. Todo lo que queríamos era un buen café, y lo conseguimos, además de algunos lugares para sentarse y usar el wifi. Y entonces estábamos en camino.

09/07/2025: I love this place! I've never dined there, but the parties are amazing! Hip hop and commercial music.

28/06/2025: I was on the guestlist and the woman at the door Abby Birch couldn’t even check the list properly to find my name. She glanced at the list and said my name wasn’t on it. Never have I ever had a problem with that until her being at the door. She was also very rude saying I had an attitude when she was the one shouting at me. Used to love this club but after that won’t be back again

31/08/2025: (Traducido por Google) Comida sabrosa rápida. (Original) Tasty food fast.

08/08/2025: Cookies came out burnt and floppy chips were too salty and chicken balls did not satisfy the way I liked my chicken balls

20/08/2025: Food was okay, but prices are high for rather small bites.

02/08/2025: The bao buns are a hit every time. The bowls are so flavorful. Last time we ended up ordering a repeat of a dish it was so good. Love this place.

23/07/2025: It's a cinema complex with good parking and Burger King for afterwards, if you'd like

22/07/2025: The place is good , good parking space and find the food is nice much better .
