The best restaurants in Dublin

05/06/2026: Never in my life have I experienced such a terrible night out. 1 star is even too much to describe what happened. In the beginning people were really friendly. The cashier, the people at the bar, even the security guard on the side of the club were all nice. Then this happened: my friends walked down a stairs consisting of three steps and one guard started acting angry towards them because of ‘glasses on the stairs’. I was confused and asked him what the problem was. The guard started yelling at me: ‘Are you joking with me?’. I stayed calm and said ‘I am just asking what the problem is’. Then he said: ‘ You are joking with me, because your English is better than mine’. I was like: ‘okay I’ll just leave it then’ and started dancing again, just trying to have fun (you know the mood was kind of ruined, but alright). So he got really mad and called another guard. He held me at the spot and when the other guard arrived, I had to walk in front of them to the exit of the club (humiliation about nothing if you ask me). Once outside, another guard asked about the situation, told me to wait outside a minute and walked inside to never return again. This was humiliating again, because a civil conversation was not even an option. My friends and I were really bummed about this situation and this place. We spend a lot of money here and in return got treated like trash. We would not recommend it to anybody because of the aggressive guard, or the other guards that just choose to believe this one guard and won’t listen to normal conversation. I would not recommend going into a place like this. Thank you, next.

23/05/2026: I said the wrong KPMG interns name and got kicked out

16/05/2026: Ideal for a quick and easy meal. Takeaway only, no dining in.

25/02/2026: Standards are much lower than your typical chippy. Chicken fillet burger is kind of flavorless and dry. The so-called "taco beef chips" are really weird! Like tomato sauce with a small amount of mince, draped over chips. Not acceptable, especially not at €9.50. Rename them tomato mince chips instead, because that's what they are. Largely tasteless, too - and no cheese or taco sauce! Sausages are like they've been kept under heat for 3-days, wilted and dry. It's just all very sad and depressing! Clearly their best days are behind them and the owners really don't care what comes out. Not a chippy I can recommend to anyone, unfortunately!

22/08/2026: Best take away around ! we go here every week

09/08/2026: We placed a big order in advance for our engagement party and honestly it was the best thing we could get did! Best spice bags ever, everyone was delighted, no issues with delivery, we got about 30 spice bags and some munchy boxes and they all arrived hot and everything tasted great

14/09/2026: Disappointing. We stopped here after the Cliff Walk and ordered three portions of fish and chips and three Coca-Colas. The price was just over €63. If the quality had been okay, it would have been acceptable. The fries were alright, but the fish was extremely greasy and tasteless. There was very little sauce. Only after asking did we get enough for three people. The restroom is unusable. There's a "professional" sign right there indicating a problem. I believe this sign is always there. For the price and the service, I cannot recommend this place. I will not be visiting this restaurant again.

13/09/2026: An hour and a half before closing, they no longer allow dine‑in, only take‑away. I honestly don’t see the logic in that.

21/08/2026: I highly recommend them, the service is excellent, the girls are amazing and always very kind.

18/08/2026: Food was only ok .the toliet was awful they need attention, the staff was friendly the coffee was good

09/07/2026: Fresh cod is durt. One of the worst fish and chips ive had . Absolutely horrible. Shame on you serving the crap

27/06/2026: Don't know what's happened to Silvio's nutgrove was ordering for years 😕 fish is horrible kebabs are frozen don't order them and when you ask for extra salt and vinegar you don't get it delivery is terrible food was cold so many times just gave up on this place

23/03/2026: Poor quality cold food, tasted really cheap and processed to the max.

28/06/2026: 2024: I think it’s under new ownership as is so different, Food was bland, ordering was awkward. Unfortunate as previous owners ran a great shop. Update 2026 (with photos) Really poor food, terrible quality of meat / ingredients..awful smell of fish in the shop, dirty inside. The chicken seemed old and refried as was extremely greasy and tough, the prawn toast was so poor, laughable really, 2cm thick at most. A real shame as the previous owners of this place slung some seriously good grub. Avoid.

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.

30/08/2026: An excellent pub with great character and history.

09/07/2026: This pub is being ran into the ground by the SON of the joint/co owner. to many staff behind a small bar falling over each other and even the SON has tripped his father up several times who is in his 80's, he runs around like a headless chicken, always seems to be panicking, after talking to my niece who drank there in the past and her conversations with bar staff and regulars over the years it's believed he the SON may be BI PILOR, staff never stay for long, bar 1 lad Luke, so obviously he's a yes man, he then asks why staff are leaving 2 go 2 a local bar he won't accept the reasons of not only his ignorance towards patrons but staff alike, he won't speak to them in privacy he makes a holy show of them in front of the whole pub, and asks why they are leaving, one former staff member now works in delaneys around the corner well there's actually 2 but this 1 young lad was serving my niece around the whole Covid after covid time and she requested she and her boyfriend have 2 drinks from the same glasses, so the young gent proceeded to pull the pints and the BALD GLASSES WEARING SON actually slapped the drinks from the lads hand, my niece is a manager in booths and told the SON, she requested the drinks in such way and the fact he was out of order and rude and obnoxious and dog ignorant, the young lad gave them there drinks and my niece told him DO NOT LET HIM the SON do that to you or anyone, most of the bad comments on here are all related to the SON who is clearly running the pub into the ground with his rude and panicking ways and shocking attitude, patrons and staff alike say he has a lot of family problems, we'll like all professionals you must leave you're problems at home or at worst the front door, he's a walking heart attack waiting to happen, it's a hard one for TOMMY an absolute gent of a man, a dieing breed sadly to have to say to his son change you're ways or leave, but he has to do something and soon he won't always be around sadly. the son is a failed prison officer didn't last long in the job, and we see why, he's still friends with them all do as they go in for sneaky pints from 10AM Onwards as do some local pi$$ heads needing a curior as we used to call it, how this man has not gotten a slap is beyond belief, staff former and present and likewise patrons can't all be wrong TOMMY AND CO OWNER'S , please sort him out or sack him and get in a real bar manager, not someone who thinks they own the place and is invincible like ROCKY why have a review spot if you the manager/co owners are not going to publish it, seems you're not able f9r constructive criticism

10/08/2026: I still can’t understand why my luxury caramelatte is completely different every time I order it. I honestly feel like nobody knows how to make it according to the nero recipe, and I am just getting something random from each barista. Very annoying when you expect the same drink every time. Also, many times the tables are not clean for hours. Other than that, it’s generally a good place.

23/07/2026: The pastries are are heavy and doughy. The staff are always so rude and will turn their backs and polish bottles or other non essential tasks while leaving you waiting for ages.

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.

28/06/2026: Only giving 2 stars because my favourite staff have all left 😒My work colleagues and I have been getting our coffee from here every weekday. The draw is actually the friendly barista staff, Sam, Franco, Abbie, Karl and there is another tall lad but I cannot remember his name . They are always polite and friendly . We still miss Sean though

17/06/2026: Lava coffe is the best you can get dark roast or mild. They are in most Applegreen garages its part of our moving ritual.

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
