The best restaurants in Dublin

14/08/2026: stopped in for lunch but sadly they are not doing food🤨 had to go anns cafe.

26/06/2026: I am deeply concerned by reports that have been shared publicly regarding the Donaghmede Inn and the alleged treatment of members of the Irish Traveller community. According to public statements made by JP Collins, he and his wife were allegedly refused service because they are members of the Traveller community. If these allegations are accurate, this would amount to discrimination based on ethnicity, which has no place in any business or community. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their background. People should be judged by their own conduct, not by stereotypes or assumptions about the community they belong to. I hope the management addresses these allegations publicly and provides a clear account of what happened. If discrimination did occur, I hope appropriate steps are taken to ensure it never happens again. Businesses should be welcoming to everyone and uphold the principles of equality and fair treatment. Allegations like these are serious, and transparency from all parties is important so the public can have confidence that everyone is treated fairly.

30/09/2026: New Friendly and helpful staff. Ordered for collection. Order was only started when I arrived. Somehow sweet and sour pork was bland and under seasoned. Pork was tough, over done and in lil hard balls, veg was raw. Sauce had texture and not all else. Tbf rice was grand

18/09/2026: I got a roast duck Szechuan with fried rice and it was gorgeous. The vegetables were so fresh and everything came together perfectly. Highly recommend it

30/08/2026: Nice local cafe- very hot though, needs some air-conditioning as gets uncomfortable. Staff must really feel it!

29/08/2026: Coffee was ok, staff very nice. But the food was just meh. Garlic fries really garlicky it would’ve been better to have the sauce on the side. The portions weren’t really big. I guess value-price is reasonable. Overall I wasn’t impressed.

25/06/2026: Fish and chips were very nice also the kebab box

08/05/2026: It is a takeout-only place that fries the food right there on the spot, so it took about 5 minutes. It was warm, and from an Asian perspective, the taste seems pretty much the same everywhere, but since the only condiments were vinegar and salt, it would be nice if there were more variety in the side dishes. It was an old-fashioned restaurant with a cool vibe, where the staff took care of us casually but without much thought.

05/08/2026: Highly recommended, very good quality products

30/07/2026: Parking is the only criticism- great store

15/06/2026: Lovely take away best in clondalkin best pizza and nice chips

17/05/2026: I tried to order a big mac and was told "go to mcdonalds horsebox" i was gobsmacked so went home and put on a wig and glasses and went back and asked for a pizza with pineapple on it, i know some people say pineapple does not belong in a nightclub

10/09/2026: Line went quick and food hot. Kids happy

06/09/2026: Closed at 8 when it’s supposed to be open until 10 👎

26/09/2026: Alright location to dine in but an absolutely mismanaged drive through. Today at 11am after ordering in drive through I was sent to be parked in the parking bays to wait for the order - only to discover that both bays were already full with people waiting for their food too. There was a considerable q forming behind me already, I had to park in the shopping centers car park instead. The staff then couldn’t find my car, forcing me to pull out my infant from the car and go search for them myself. This isn’t the first time it’s happening at this location - if you’re looking for a reliable drive-through, avoid this spot like a plague.

31/08/2026: It was closed half an hour before closing time, and we'd made a detour after a concert because nothing else was open and we desperately needed to use the restroom and grab a bite to eat, as we had a several-hour drive home ahead of us. Plus, there were dangerous, drugged, and drunk people in the parking lot begging; the area made us feel very unsafe. I don't recommend it.

20/09/2026: One of the best Pubs in Dublin.

27/08/2026: Proper pint of Guinness in a proper bar.

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.

24/07/2026: I have been visiting this business for a few months now. overall the food quality has been decent for the price you pay. You pay what you get. Customer experience: not good. Tried to order food by phone today as usual, the staff is too basic, if you not what I mean, tried to order french fries and I was told "I cant understand you" in a very rude tone. As soon as I said chips all of a sudden the lady understood. The quality of the Cheese Chips was awful, not like I am used too. the Cheese was like it was prepared a couple of days ago and the fries were soggy. Not a good experience at all. I payed 7 euro , not worth 2 euro though.

07/06/2026: The food is nice, the staff are friendly, and the location is excellent. The updated entrance now looks much better and gives the place a more welcoming feel. It’s a great little fish and chips takeaway.

08/07/2026: One of the best tasting and priced spice bags in Ireland. 9.50 for the spice bag, a can of coke and curry sauce!?

26/04/2026: Staff are always lovely and so friendly

22/09/2026: These guys care only about themselves and the not community they operate in. They come to your house, uninvited, and put junk mail in your mailbox and ignore signs on the mailbox that specifically say, “No Junk Mail.” They only care about sales and not their customers, of which I was one before today (the food was average at best but it was close). Never again!

16/09/2026: Really good Kabab and fry Chicken recommended.

08/05/2026: Recently, I booked tea, coffee and scones for a group of 20 in the charming Library Bar at the Hoxton Hotel (formerly the Central Hotel). I had often visited it previously when it was owned by the Central Hotel. Our Group weren't disappointed. As part of the Hoxton Hotel, the Library Bar has retained its old world charm with comfortable armchairs, calm ambience and collection of books. And our scones were delicious having been served with butter and jam. If you are in town, and you want somewhere quiet and comfortable, I recommend the Library Bar. It's great to see that this treasure has been retained. I will definitely be back.

16/03/2026: A hidden gem in Dublin. The photos on Google don’t do it justice. It’s hard to find - a hidden bar upstairs in the hotel - but it’s one of Dublin’s finest and most refined.

19/09/2026: Im still hungry. Boojum burritos are 2x more filling

19/09/2026: Man, I get it, everything has gone up in price but I just paid €10 for a burrito as small as the palm in my hand and even paid €.50 extra to have it toasted and squeezed out of its tin foil, loosing even more food. I got a teaspoon of chilli and a teaspoon of guacamole. So sick of this overpriced crap, and service with a frown. In less than 2 years this place has reduced its portions so massively that it’s no longer affordable. Really fed up with this.
