The best restaurants in Dublin

21/08/2026: Would give 0 stars if possible. Absolutely disgraceful service. We ordered food for my mam’s 60th birthday and waited over 2 hours without receiving it. After an hour and a half, we called and were repeatedly told the food was “with the driver”. We eventually called to cancel, only to be told the driver was outside the house — he absolutely was not. Another half an hour passed, despite the driver calling to say he was “a few minutes away”. We called again to cancel but nobody would answer, so we eventually had to text the driver to say the order was cancelled. Over 2 hours waiting for food that never arrived, on my mam’s birthday. Having since looked at the reviews, this seems to be a common occurrence. Absolutely unacceptable and a complete disgrace.

26/07/2026: We went a couple of times during our stay in Dublin and the service was very friendly, the food was delicious and apart from the pizzas I recommend the wings.

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.

27/10/2025: Not currently open, doors bordered up

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

18/08/2026: Always a lovely pub to drop into after work or before a game. Very welcoming and efficient service, especially with Peter behind the bar. Cant recommend the place enough! Thank you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

26/09/2026: 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.

10/09/2026: Please dont bother ordering from here. Expensive and tasteless. Specially the chow mein Thai 🤮

04/09/2026: Really good Chinese love the egg fried rice and crispy chicken perfect

18/07/2026: The nicest Chinese takeaway I've ever eaten out of great quality food

13/05/2026: Would never order from this place again. Honestly one of the worst food experiences I’ve had in a long time. The food tasted like pure salt — no flavour, no quality, just salt overloaded on everything. The meat was old, dry, chewy and looked like it had been sitting there for weeks untouched. Completely inedible. Food quality was terrible from start to finish. Definitely not fresh and definitely not worth the money. I genuinely wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. I won’t recommend it even to my enemy. 1 star is being too much. This place shouldn’t be on market selling this garbage to people. I would rather stay hungry even if they offer to get something free from them.

10/09/2026: Been eating from here for as long as i can remember, before summer inn took over, and i have to say the past months, the quality of beef has dropped drastically, so so chewy. Rice is either amazing, or all clumped together curry sauce is amazing flavour wise, sometimes too watery, honestly just lacking consistency. still one of my favourite places but i've been let down recently.

26/08/2026: Amazing food and great portion sizes! Delivery came fast and the food was piping hot still

09/08/2026: This place deserves to be condemned in the strongest possible terms. Selling beer (for €6, oh my god!) on university grounds seems highly immoral. The staff is friendly, but I wouldn't even feed their food to a dog. And I don't like dogs. The place has had problems with credit card data protection in the past, so be careful!

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 👎

06/08/2026: Poor sandwich at best, hard bread & dry.

24/07/2026: I rang the shop in Stillorgan, and asked if they did dairy free cakes, as I can't eat dairy, I think she was spanish, but so rude and just said no we don't, even if they did I wouldn't go there. They should train their staff how to have mannerson the phone. Very disappointed
