The best restaurants in Dublin

19/12/2025: Chips are good but unfortunately smallest portions ive ever come across in Dublin...back to the Chinese for me!!

06/12/2025: Best southern fried chicken in Dublin. Lots of parking outside, very nice staff. Would highly recommend

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

20/09/2025: I have been a loyal customer at this café for the past three years and usually enjoy my visits. However, on two occasions within the past month, I arrived about an hour before closing to order a coffee and a croissant. When I asked for the croissant to be warmed, I was informed that the oven had already been turned off. This was disappointing, as the café was still open and serving customers. As a result, I decided not to purchase the sandwich, since it had been sitting in the fridge all day and could not be heated. I hope the management can address this, as customers should be able to enjoy the full menu during opening hours.

08/09/2025: Shout out to Milly who was super kind, helpful and made the most delicious beverages for us!

13/07/2026: Really like this place, great for breakfast.

12/07/2026: I have not had food here so can’t rate it. I’ve had coffee twice and it’s ok, but not amazing. The problem is consistently the poor service, which many other reviews mention also. Today we waited at the counter, completely unacknowledged by multiple staff who avoided even looking at us or the people behind us because they were already overwhelmed with the existing food orders. This is awkward and unwelcoming and I definitely don’t recommend experiencing it.

26/09/2025: Always a beautiful sandwich- very popular place in the office & great staff

21/08/2025: Outstanding service makes all the difference.

27/05/2026: I only relised Brennans bread slices have got smaller and when you toast them they get smaller again no i won't be buying it any more i have changed after all them years buying Brennans bread and i wouldn't mind its the same price so thats it you can keep your small slices.

14/04/2026: I am eating Brennans Bread now since I was I was I am 64 now and still love this pan of bread 🍞

12/10/2025: Had a beautiful dinner here really tasty food staff were super friendly the restaurant was a little cold but that’s all highly recommend

30/09/2025: I have never had burnt naan bread and yellow daal makhni in my life. Attaching photos.Chef will have the decency atleast to cook the naan again , if it was burnt. Worst Indian food experience in Dublin. I think the restaurant is not even Indian. Its just named indian

18/07/2026: The security guard was very disrespectful we where walking around with a can in our hands and he all of a sudden has the urge to come up to us and accuse us of trying to steal never felt more embarrassed ever I feel like I’m being aimed at because I’m not Irish very disappointed and definitely will never come back here again the people around us found it very strange as well as we did nothing wrong

18/07/2026: You are lucky I am even putting down a star. I was doing my shopping and I put something in my pockets as I had dropped my wallet and keys bc I wasn't putting it on some mucky baby products. As I put it in my pocket an Indian security guy grabbed me and said no stealing in front of the public. I was raised to always but my stuff. He made a while scene as I told him my pockets were wide open and I could clearly see I had dropped my loot. He made me pay at the counter not the self working machines and didn't let me buy anything else. Must be because I do not look Irish the prejudice is insane.

28/06/2026: amazing service and staff! everyone is so lovely and their service is faster than any other 4 star i’ve been to

19/05/2026: Im sorry but i want u to be 3 star pizza

19/06/2026: The guy that delivered our coffee rubbed his fingers all over the rim of the cups! So gross and unhygienic. Please give some adequate training. Also, the watery whipped cream they serve with the cake is not OK - cake was good though.

06/06/2026: Coffee here is absolutely atrocious. Consistently awful. And it's the same in any Brambles café to be honest. Marlay, Knocklyon, St Enda's. Just absolutely brutal coffee, served scalding hot and burnt to hell, bitter and acrid.

24/07/2026: I came early in the morning and barista didn’t pay any attention, I said good morning and still no attention she was just continuing to do what she was doing, until another next customer came. It is rude service

19/05/2026: Felt very welcomed by the 2 employees who were working hard at serving people and cleaning out the restaurant. Drink was made perfectly and employees were smiling. A 5/5 in my Starbucks book.

23/07/2026: Extremely disappointed with my experience at Dicey's. I was asked to leave the venue without being given any clear explanation or the opportunity to understand what was happening. I wasn't causing any trouble, yet I was removed in a way that felt unfair and disrespectful. I am a travel content creator and influencer who regularly shares my experiences with thousands of people across my social media platforms. I always try to recommend places that provide a good experience, but unfortunately, I cannot do that in this case. Every customer deserves to be treated with respect and given a fair explanation before being removed from a venue. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Dicey's. I will continue sharing my honest experience on my Instagram whenever I talk about places to visit in Dublin, so people can make informed decisions before spending their money there.

22/07/2026: A pretty crazy place - in a cool way! If you're into partying and colors, then Dicey's is definitely worth a visit!

06/03/2026: Ordered chicken wrap..and within 4 hours I was on the toliet with the runs. Got food poisoning from this place! Never AGAIN

03/03/2026: Spotless clean. Friendly staff. Good food. Reasonable priced..
