The best restaurants in Dublin

20/07/2026: trying to book online. "unable to connect for some unknown reason". don't answer the phones. the crew must still be posing for photos. selected film/format/date/numbers of customers but no access to seat selection. Are they fully booked-there must be a program to identify and indicate this???

19/07/2026: Went to watch The Odyssey in 4DX and it was a terrible experience. The seats were uncomfortable, the theatre was dirty and unhygienic, and the popcorn was stale. Just one question for Cineworld: Since how long has this theatre not been cleaned? For the price of a 4DX ticket, this was completely unacceptable.

19/07/2026: Excellent cafe, food is creative and very tasty! I do love their ethos of using their own grown and reared food to serve. Always and interesting menu, beautiful salads mix ❤️ i sometimes find it very noisy/echoes with the open plan though. Maybe some higher screens to seperate sections would help? 🤔

13/06/2026: Service was extremely slow. 20 minutes just to take our order. Overheard the short thin guy being extremely emotional and short, giving out to staff for taking too many food orders at the same time and I counted 19 people in the main part of the restaurant. A couple on the table beside us ordered drinks and then left 30 minutes later because nobody came back to take their food order after being told they could only take drink orders for a while. Nobody said this to us but our lovely waitress got scolded for taking our drink and food order together. From the moment we were seated, it took 55 minutes for our food to arrive and it wasn't anything special - sandwich, salad and kids chicken and chips. The most frustrating part was the wait for our child, one of two kids there and they didn't care that they were waiting a child wait almost an hour for food, usually restaurants send out the kid orders first. Probably won't be back.

27/02/2026: First visit. Service was fine but the take out latte had a very off taste from the first sip and had to be put down a drain. Disappointing. Won't be back.

19/02/2026: Long queue ... not worth the wait..

11/07/2026: This place is so much better than the place next door. Went for the magic box. Service was quick and kind, chips good, kebab meat good and plenty of sauce if asked for. Top spot. Thanks guys

29/06/2026: Ordered food here twice, mixed kebab box and fish and chips. It was after 11pm (possibly later) on both occasions. The fact that they were open was a welcome sight as there was no other food options nearby. The food was excellent and the owners were working hard and still polite and friendly throughout the process. I'd never been to a "chipper" (as one local described it) so unsure what to expect. Kebabs were well seasoned and came in a healthy portion size. The fish was just good but the chips were excellent. I would not hesitate to eat here again.

04/03/2026: Pretty good atmosphere all around. The staff is quick on their feet and friendly. I've mostly ordered different kind of loaded fries here and they were all tasty, albeit a bit pricey still. The cheese is never fully melted though and should probably be heated up before serving.

30/06/2026: Best staff , good atmosphere thank you guys .

06/06/2026: Amazing service… great food n good prices

21/05/2026: Called in for a quick pint no food it was quiet

04/04/2026: The food, service and atmosphere were excellent. The live music was fantastic and set the mood. While Maria, my server, knew just what to suggest from drinks thru to dessert. She was wonderful. The Chowder soup was extremely delicious and on a cold, rainy night, it hit the spot.

06/06/2026: I love the experience such grounded and down to earth staff. Specially Ronan Renan and wang (Bill) are my personal favorites. They know customer service so well...❤️

05/06/2026: The coffee was amazing, especially with the beautiful swan latte art made by the Spanish barista. His friendliness made the experience even better☕️

13/07/2026: The worst chai latte I've ever had , it was basically just hot milk. Unfortunately, the barista wasn't very friendly either. Really disappointing.

07/07/2026: I was in Blanch this morning and needed a coffee badly. So glad I stopped in here. Coffee is very good. Dialed in properly (bit of a coffee snob). Also really good service. Guy recommended a muffin (among other things). It was tasty and fresh. Will be back for coffee and a sandwich next time. 👍

20/07/2026: Very good food very friendly staff 😊

16/07/2026: Chicken was overcooked and very overpriced

30/06/2026: Older woman short hair wasn’t great with customers like they were an inconvenience coffee was nice

11/06/2026: I always visit Kays Kitchen when visiting home from Australia. The food is delicious, Rose and the staff are excellent!

02/06/2026: the dishes and spoon has bad smell 👃🏼 should be cleaned 🧼 with soup or washing dishes

11/07/2026: Almond croissant I bought at 8.am was old and dry.

10/07/2026: Amazing flat white the 4€ price is justified also very nice staff

27/05/2026: I ordered an iced mango almond latte that was advertised on the board outside, but the staff didn’t seem to know how to make it. The almond milk tasted like it was off, and the drink was honestly horrible. On top of that, they charged €5.50 for it… definitely not coming back.

06/05/2026: It's a typical chain like other large coffee shops with a star in their name, but great for breakfast or grabbing a salad to go. The coffee is excellent – ​​we had bagels with salmon or an Irish breakfast – we loved it – we'll be back tomorrow ;-)
