The best restaurants in Dublin

29/05/2025: Ordered a sausage roll that was quite clearly made the previous day. It was like eating sand paper. Another occasion ordered a chicken stuffing sandwich which had enough chicken in it to feed a small pigeon.

15/10/2025: I love Zambrero as a restaurant, and this place was very local for me and handy. Although after recent events I’ve decided to move on to a different Zambrero to enjoy my burritos. I used to always order ahead online and then pick it up in store. I found though that in my more recent online orders they didn’t even start to make it until I arrived to collect it. It wasn’t an excuse like “we wanted it to be fresh for you” it was simply that they just didn’t prioritise it. If they’re busy I get it but I usually order at slower times of the day so that I can get my food. I also only arrive at the time allocated for me to pick up my food. The laziness was getting annoying but I let it slide. What was my final straw with this branch was the experience I had the one time and ordered my food face to face, solely to avail of the student meal where I can get a free can of choice. As I was ordering the girl clearly wasn’t interested to begin with. I’m giving her basic manners and instructions so unsure what her issue was. When I get to the till I ask nicely if I can avail of the student deal and she asks me to show valid ID. I show her my UniDays profile that clearly states my name, college and even a photo of my face. She immediately shuts it down and says it’s an invalid form of ID and she’s not giving me the deal. I ask her why and she just says it’s invalid. The girl next to me in line sees my frustration and steps up to say how she always uses her UniDays ID and they give her the deal. Nowhere in this branch did it say that this wasn’t a valid ID. If something is not a valid form of ID, a shop MUST state this at the till for customers. They failed to do this. The worker gave it to me but said she’d never be able to do this if “the owner was here”. I’d be very surprised if the owner of that tiny branch is there often. Maybe a manager yes, but the owner? Ok. She very rudely sat down my items the till and didn’t even give me a bag to take away my food. I have now moved to a more communal branch and they never ask me for my student ID anymore because I am a frequent and loyal customer and also am clearly a student. They took my UniDays no issue. To Beacon, do better. You have to label what is and isn’t accepted in a shop for customers. It can’t be a surprise when they come up to the till expecting a free drink. Students everyday look for ways to save an extra bit of money. Would also like to state that you cannot set up a UniDays account without a valid student email linked to a real college. It expires every year and you have to apply for renewal so that they know you’re still a student. It’s not a fake app where you can get away with anything. State policies in stores and train your workers to not be so lazy.

10/10/2025: Sonia was so nice, deserves the 5 stars

05/11/2025: The best noodle bar near Dublin Portal. Delicious food, kind stuff and cozy place. Thai Prawn Curry with rice is my favorite ❤️

18/10/2025: We went to this restaurant for dinner. The waitress informed us that the restaurant closed at 9:00 p.m., which was 8:40 p.m. at the time. She had, however, agreed to let us eat in. Ten minutes before closing time, the waitress began clearing the tables around us and asked us to take our things and trays and sit on the terrace of the fast-food restaurant next door! We then moved to the terrace of this restaurant, where we hadn't ordered anything. Three minutes later, the waitress came back to ask for the trays we were eating from. At 9:00 p.m., the restaurant was indeed closed. A more than unimaginable experience! Regarding the dishes, I ordered the ramen, which was bland and tasteless (supermarket instant noodles are tastier). I don't recommend it at all! As for my friend's dish, the spicy chicken was okay. In short, I generally don't recommend it.

05/10/2024: Overpriced kip. Waste of your hard earned money and probably should just close down. Nothing you couldn't make at home and nothing special.

26/09/2024: Very pleased. Nice and quiet at lunchtime. Allowed for chatting without loud background.

28/10/2025: Very nice pizzas from this Cinellis, with chips and garlic sauce lovely

08/06/2025: Food is great so are the staff!

15/11/2025: Avoid. You canntell it used to be a nice place but now it is run down and half closed. The concession stand is a joke. Wanted hot dog, didnt have hot dog. So I switched to nachos. The employee let me order and pay and THEN tells me they are also out of nacho cheese, and the chips werent even warm. So cold, stale chips with slightly off tasting sour cream and sweet salsa. They did actually have popcorn, but no butter flavor. In the theater, the seats had holes in them and everything looked really run down.

10/11/2025: (9/11/2025, 19:01) Rude, arrogant and disrespectful staff. I asked whether a bottle of water at room temperature was available and was treated as if I was wasting his time. I was not expecting 5-star, world class every single time, but this one was just way below minimum service standard. Ridiculous service. Filed a formal complaint through their online form.

28/10/2025: I got the taco chips and they were lovely, and very nice staff very near to omni Park shopping centre,

03/09/2025: Some food missing from order and hair found in food advise to keep away

27/09/2025: Very poor quality chips. Stale and had been sitting out for hours. Got the order wrong. Stupid kiosk where you must place your order. Will not be returning and didn’t finish

18/09/2025: *Would give zero stars if possible* Food was terrible, chips were very dry seemed like reheats from yesterday, burger lousy, kebab was like a swamp in a box. The delivery driver was extremely disrespectful over the phone, he arrived 15mins earlier than the scheduled time and threatened to drive off. As it was an order for a business there was a clear note to instruct the driver to call when leaving so I can meet him at the entrance but got a call when he was 1 min away and threatened to drive off if I wasn't there in 2mins and hung up the phone on me multiple times. If this is the person you have between the restaurant and the customers good luck because he'll ruin your business. Will never order again, disgraceful.

28/09/2025: Place was pretty enough. It’s inside a hotel. I chose it cuz it was close to my hotel and I was tired from travelling. Waitress was lovely. I chose a Caesar salad that tasted nothing like any Caesar I’ve had before and onion rings that dropped grease when I squeezed them, and were inedible once they had cooled. ll in all the most disappointing meal I had in my five days in Ireland.

21/09/2025: We ordered fish and chips. They looked fabulous but the chips were inedible. I prefer chips to still have some of their original potato recognisable in them. These were overcooked and really dry. The batter on the fish was very thick. Not light. First time in Ireland so may be a local preference but was not enjoyable to we Aussies who are probably spoiled for choice at home. The best thing about the meal was the impeccable service and the hot chocolate.

23/09/2025: Awful experience, they say to install their app for a free coffee. After buying the coffee they put me to pay as there was no voucher available in the freshly installed app. The staff told me that the promotion is over and in their liffet is saying clearly that on the 30.09.25 expires. I won't go to any nero cafe ever again

14/09/2025: On sunday you might see only a member of the staff and of course long q and slow service. Oh, ya, one more thing to mention, you' ll see lots of tables with cutlery, cups and other left overs by customers. A big let down in relation to clean.

26/08/2025: Food was average. We can’t eat because its too salty. I don’t why they put too much 🧂

26/08/2025: All food ordered was salty... Won't recommend anyone even try eating once from here.

20/08/2025: We went there for breakfast and it was very pleasant, little background music, we took juices squeezed to the minute, coffee and pastries all very good, I recommend 100%!

30/05/2025: Chicken was way older and hard. Not a great experience, would not suggest.

24/09/2025: Really disappointing tonight. Called this evening ask for large bag of chips which the lady confirmed they do i said plenty of salt n vinegar. 2 quarter pounders only cheese an ketchup. When picked the food up about 15 chips an 2 burgers with everything in it an the burger was dry as. Total waste of 20 euro should have went to mcdonalds

18/08/2025: Great local chipper which does excellent pizzas

14/09/2025: Went in for lunch yesterday. We had to wait a bit to get a table, which was to be expected as it was quite busy. When we were finally seated, it took the waiters at least 15 minutes to take our orders. Our food arrived promptly after we ordered, however before our drinks had made it to the table. The tap water we had asked for and another drink we ordered was never brought out to us and no one stopped by the table to make sure everything was going okay. The food itself tasted good, although the portions were a little small for the price. When we wanted to pay it took us another 20 minutes to get someone’s attention to get the bill. I eventually had to just get up to ask the host for the bill not once but twice after waiting another almost 10 minutes after the first time asking. When the bill arrived, it included the drink item we had ordered but that was never brought out to us. After we made them aware that the item was included on the bill, they immediately removed it. Overall, the food was good, the ambiance was nice, but service was slow and lacking in urgency, while the staff remained friendly.

05/09/2025: The staff wasn't paying attention when we tried to order. Maybe because it was busy, but at 2 p.m. there were no sandwiches, no wraps, no quiche. Exactly what we wanted. Corona without lemon, with a glass. Fizzy lemonade came from a can. I expected fresh. With ice, even though we'd requested it without ice. A glass was brought, but never returned. The menu was missing the middle pages, so I thought certain items weren't available.

23/10/2025: I order it practically every week, we're two of us here at home, and it's no joke, both in pizzas and esfihas. Zero defects and the best choice.

16/10/2025: I ordered two pizzas for delivery yesterday, and the app gave an estimated time of 45 minutes, but I received them after 1 hour and 40 minutes. I called the restaurant twice, and they said they were short on drivers. In the end, the pizza arrived cold and the crust was burnt. If you live abroad, this is definitely not what Brazilian pizza is like. Terrible.
