The best restaurants in Dublin

22/08/2025: I really enjoyed my lunch here. There was a good choice of main courses. My chicken curry was tasty & the cabbage was great too. The Warbler & Wren coffee was delicious. If you bring your own mug of cofeee you get a 10% discount. It's very economical compared with many eateries in the vicinity, The dinning area is extensive and I enjoyed talking to some students eating lunch with me.

10/08/2025: It's advertised as open until 10:30am for breakfast. We went in at 09:55 and they had already stopped serving. We asked one of the staff, who was quite grumpy about telling us food was only served till 10. Went to Keoghs instead.

15/02/2026: I placed an order through Deliveroo from Stoned, 6 Parliament Street, during their buy-one-get-one-free promotion. My order included two Coca-Cola Zero, one Half & Half side, two chicken burgers, and four Double Cheese burgers. Unfortunately, I only received the side and the chicken burgers, several items were missing. Trying to resolve the issue was even more frustrating than the incomplete delivery. After calling for over five minutes, someone finally answered, only to shift the blame onto the delivery driver, claiming he had picked up two orders. This explanation made no sense, especially since the receipt clearly matched my order. I was told they would speak with the manager and call me back, but I never received any follow-up. After waiting 30 minutes, I called again and made more than 50 attempts, repeatedly being left waiting until the call disconnected. On one occasion, they answered and immediately hung up. An extremely disappointing experience. Mistakes can happen, but the lack of accountability and the poor customer service were unacceptable. Ignoring customers instead of solving problems is a sure way to lose them. If this continues, perhaps one day there will be no customers left. Update following the restaurant’s public response: As you chose to publicly describe a customer’s reaction as “crazy,” that unfortunately speaks more about your professionalism than about my complaint. At no point during the phone call was it clearly explained that the order was in two separate bags. Instead, responsibility was immediately shifted to the delivery driver. The receipt was attached to the bag I received, which reasonably indicated that it represented the complete order. Beyond the missing items, even what arrived was incorrect. Calling multiple times was not about overreacting, it was about attempting to resolve an issue while the restaurant was still operating. When a customer places an order, the expectation is simple: to receive what was paid for, without needing to pursue explanations or refunds. This situation has nothing to do with age or “learning that life has bigger problems.” It is about accountability and basic standards of customer service. Mistakes are understandable. Dismissing legitimate concerns publicly is not. Ultimately, time will reveal whether requesting the correct order was “crazy,” or whether responding to customers with sarcasm and condescension is a sustainable approach for any business...

04/02/2026: Tasty stoner food on the cheap before untill 6pm, can't go wrong ordering food here, no customer toilets so had to buy a pint across the road to use the pub jax

08/12/2025: I recently bought a small hot chocolate drink from them, and I was asked if I want marshmallows… I said ‘yes, everything’, and when I check my bill, I was charged €2.25 extra, that’s 75c each for marshmallows, cream, chocolate chips. I think when they ask customers if they want any extra, they better ask like ‘would you like cream for extra 75 cents?’, just to make it clear.

01/11/2025: I can not confirm the bad reviews here. Every time I go, mostly Saturday and Sunday morning, I experience great service and good coffee. Nice place to hang out and get lost in a good book

04/10/2025: Food quality is terrible. The kids goujons and chips are deep fried and very, very fried. The chips were a mixture of skinny chips and skin on chips? Felt like it was the ends. French toast was only ok, didn't come with maple syrup, just a drizzle on the plate, wasn't very filling at all for the price. I did like that the area was spacious where the round tables are (the other tables are cramped). Very few vegetarian/vegan menu options on the main menu (except plenty of starters which is odd?) and no vegetarian options on the kids menu. Highchair was filthy I had to clean it myself. Service was non-existant, we waited about 15 minutes to order and then had to go up to the counter to ask for the bill. Definitely won't be back, quite poor service and low quality food being the reason.

20/09/2025: Had a killer desert here. The best.

23/09/2025: Dublin Kebab - the chicken wing meal is where it’s at. They cook the wings over their bbq grill or over the tandoori oven. Comes with a salad, freshly baked homemade flat bread and 2 sauces. I could be here all day talking about how good it is. Always feel good after it . Takes a little longer than their other stuff to prepare but it’s worth the wait in my humble opinion

21/09/2025: Clearly, perfectly nd brilliant service really appreciate it nd moralfull , friendly stuffs👍

15/02/2026: Sadly, after having been happy customers of Spice Guru for almost 10 years, we have decided that we won't be ordering from them ever again. We have noticed a visible decay in quality in the last 4 orders delivered to us. Reviews of other customers seemed to back up our opinions. Tonight we decided to give it a last try but the food was the worst we ever got. We must have ordered Dal Tadka 50 times and it has never been so liquid, watered down, like it had not been fully cooked. Extremely disappointing. The cheese of the saag paneer tasted a bit acid and the vegetable pakora tasted stale.

06/12/2025: Been going here for 6 years. Always loved it. Tonight, 06/12/2025, changed that. Woman running the kitchen came out with my order when the young guy usually at the desk took a break. Had to negotiate to get what I had paid for. There was no mis-understanding because she had my receipt in her hand. Bizarre behavior.

09/02/2026: A really nice pub ar the heart of Stoneybatter. Nice crew, good beer and it has a cozy beer garden.

02/02/2026: My friends and I went into this pub at 7 PM. We were absolutely sober (of course, it was 7 PM). Some of our friends stayed outside to finish smoking their cigarettes. One of the bartenders (a man in his 50s with glasses and a gray stubble) blocked our way and started being rude from the moment we walked in. He then asked why someone was waiting outside. We replied that our friends would finish their cigarettes and then join us. The bartender continued to be rude and swear and said he wouldn't serve us: "You people." We didn't understand what he meant, but one of us had mobility issues. This is actually a violation of Irish consumer protection laws. But we didn't bother to confront this boor and went into the next pub. I highly recommend not going here.

15/02/2026: I don’t know what to say other than disappointing. The prices are crazy for what you get given the quality is no better than a typical Chinese takeaway. The spring rolls were strange to say the least. Wasn’t able to tell how fresh the veg in them were. The garlic and black bean fillet beef was nice but no way was it fillet beef. The chilli beef was good too but very deep fried to the point you couldn’t taste beef and just deep fried batter. The worst thing we got at our table was the salt and chilli chicken, it was absolutely disgusting. And for nearly 30 euro - it was daylight robbery. The chicken itself didn’t look like chicken and it was drowning in oil. For the same price, I could have dined at a top restaurant in the city centre. Overall, really disappointing.

14/02/2026: The food did not live up to our expectations. Vegetable spring rolls were very dry and the dipping sauce was extremely salty and did not complement the dish. Main course of fillet beef with black bean and garlic was nice however the beef did not taste like fillet. Main course of shredded chicken was inedible. Noodles were in a puddle of oil. The pieces of chicken didn’t resemble chicken at all. We asked the waiter was it definitely chicken and even she had to cut a piece herself to confirm, will not be back unfortunately.

08/03/2026: The bathroom was extremely discusting, it didn't even closed well, not toilet paper. The coffee was not good and it cost 5.80. Support local businesses instead.

07/03/2026: On the website they say the store opens at 7am, but I needed to buy my coffee at exactly that time because I needed to catch a bus for a trip. The attendants were there and told me it would only open at 7:10am. If you can't serve coffee at 7am, don't say you open at 7am.

14/01/2026: The food was delicious 10/10 also very nice and friendly staff well recommended A+++

15/08/2025: Wouldn’t even give it a star, got a snack box today and chicken was raw wouldn’t go back ever again

25/09/2025: Lovely staff members, great coffee

10/07/2025: Walk as no marshmallows in hot chocolate daughter was disappointed

17/11/2025: These guys made a lovely birthday cake for my wife's 60th with her twin sister. They went to a lot of trouble to get the details right and at a very reasonable cost.

29/10/2025: Nice bakery for a quick stop. There is no seating available, but there is plenty of parking space out front, so you can eat or drink in your car or on the go. Staff was quick to assist. The chai latte I had was good, but not great. The croissant was huge, that made up for the price I paid for it. Special milks add 80ct to the price.

30/06/2025: Pizza Hawaiian - ordered today 21:50. Came very quick, hot and fresh food but - no sauce so I don’t know if there is no sauce at all or they forgot to add and the base seems like without tomato sauce, pizza hot and fresh but very dry from the other side, the tomato sauce if was added seems like it vapour.

01/05/2025: I ordered through Uber Eats and tried their bestseller meal. Honestly, it was only worth about one-sixth of what I paid for it

31/12/2025: Bleeding whopper deadly this place is. Thanks to Gabriel also whos always been a sound skin.

24/12/2025: I'm not usually one to leave bad reviews but the man in charge seems to actively want it, so I'm happy to help out! I live locally and have been in here a fair bit over the years. Stopped in for one on the way home one night with the missus. Pub mostly empty, about 20 minutes until close. I get one for myself and sit down, barman promptly comes over and says she'll also have to get a drink. We were confused at first, so she asks for tap water. He says well I can charge you €3.50 for it, or else you can leave. You wouldn't get this treatment in the worst kind of tourist trap in Temple Bar. Just to be clear it's Tadgh Coughlan who runs the pub and is behind this nonsense, not Frank Ryan as I've seen some others blame. Ryan has had nothing to do with it in decades, seems Coughlan is determined to run his name through the muck!

27/10/2025: Needed a break from pub fare, and this place hit the spot. Delicious won ton soup and rice dishes.

12/08/2025: It's big let down me this year golden palace not because food it was because I was costumer ordered here long time loved there chipper then I rang order one day tell me only do card unfortunately my disability I have youse money I'm highlighting this because I found out bye law you still have youse cash now I can't order from here any more I really miss it so this not really fair we have always youse cars I only youse cash this wrong I'm really disappointed golden palace would do this like said food great I feel like this needs be put out there I wish they would go back cash for delivery not really fair
