The best restaurants in Dublin

29/11/2025: traditional fish and chips, very tasty. friendly service.

15/11/2025: I have tried a few dishes here and each were worse than the other. Kebab - made with a frozen slice of meat, salads and dressings limited. Gried chicken - reheated, dry and tasted mostly of pepper. Smoked Cod tasted synthetic, fish was grey in places, overcooked and the smoking was dreadful. I couldnt eat it at all. Saving grace is the chips are ok. A really shame as the staff are lovely and the space is spotless.

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.

04/01/2026: We went for lunch for 8 people before a game in the Aviva. Service was very poor, no consistency with waiting staff. We were served by a different waiter every time. Very slow to get drinks and food. It took over an hour for the kids to be served their food. Food was average but overpriced. Tempura prawn starter had 2 prawns for €22. Kids meal €18 for 2 courses!! We were the only table in the restaurant so I’m not sure why service and food was so slow. The hotel is beautiful. The setting is lovely. If service was better this could be a great place to dine.

19/10/2025: Truly awful experience today for lunch. We had been on many occasions before and were always wowed by the atmosphere food and service. A group of 6 of us arrived for lunch today and were seated next to a group of 50 people which appeared to be a christening. The noise was deafening, children running around screaming and staff were few, and very overwhelmed. The food was really poor, the accompanying salad with the prawn tempura lacked freshness, the steak was as tough as old boots with no marination, and the ice cream for dessert was similar to what you’d get at a children’s birthday party. I complained to management and they did discount the bill, a solid gesture but not what I was looking for! We were looking for a nice meal in a ‘small leading hotels of the world’ restaurant but it felt like a cross between McDonald’s and a roadside cafe. Management need to step up, this is APPALLING, and we will not be stepping in there ever again

06/12/2025: Disgustingly dirty.. I honesty couldn't find a clean place to sit.....ordinary food...

06/09/2025: Had a family breakfast at this place with 4 adults and one kid. Lovely place for family gatherings.

04/01/2026: I ordered by phone for collection girl on the phone was so rude . I asked for a spice BAG but what I got was a small box she never told this when ordered .Wouldn't be going back again very pricey for the amount of food 😒

29/12/2025: Service was quick! Curry sauce had a bit of kick, satay was very nice also!

14/11/2025: Phoenix a staff member went above and beyond to help me with a last minute order of fifty cupcakes-she was such a lovely lady and extremely efficient and kind

08/10/2025: The coffee was great but the server Javi was very rude to us and overcharged the women beside us. It was not busy so the attitude was ridiculous.

19/11/2025: I tried the mixed sweets and Gulab jamuns - both were absolutely amazing. I have a favorite sweet shop India, and I was surprised to see the same quality and delicious taste here. I have eaten from many popular sweet shops Dublin, but this place is really different. The taste, freshness and authenticity are excellent. I recommend everyone to try it!

19/11/2025: I had some cakes, and a variety of sweets like barfi and mithai. Everything was delicious, and it’s the best I have had in a long time.

21/09/2025: Soooo this place doesn’t actually exist on this location. Don’t know who’s posting but as of Saturday night 9/29 this doesn’t exist /9 don’t fall for it especially if you’re drunk and hungry!!!

10/08/2025: The worst fish and chips I’ve ever had in Ireland. Stomach turning greasy and undercooked. Had to throw the bag out on the way home. Also charged extra for simple condiments. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

20/11/2025: Went in for a coffee this morning and kind of horrified at my experience. Barista used a jug with milk still in it from previous customer, didn't rinse it, so mixed fresh cold milk with already steamed milk. I can understand doing that MAYBE when in a rush and under pressure but there were no customers after me so no excuse for using dirty equipment and old milk. This is considered really bad practice and depending on how bad the cleanliness standard of the jugs are, possibly against HACCP if they are routinely letting the same milk be reheated over and over. After I very reluctantly took a sip of my coffee it wasn't very warm and I turned around and went back in, apologised and explained that my coffee wasn't very hot. I normally wouldn't complain about something like that but I was kind of hoping for a fresh coffee that was made with new milk and a clean jug, Barista apologised and to my absolute horror, poured my coffee in its entirety back into the dirty jug and steamed the coffee. This is terrible practice and my coffee tasted disgusting, couldn't drink it and had to throw it away. I thought maybe I was being dramatic so I told a friend and they were also horrified at the lack of standards for cleanliness and product quality.

19/11/2025: Disappointing! I was looking forward to have a lovely flat white and I went yesterday to order one. Barista was so slow and flat white was cold. I had to threw it away. Not worth it for 3.95 🤯

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

12/10/2025: Had a beautiful dinner here really tasty food staff were super friendly the restaurant was a little cold but that’s all highly recommend

30/09/2025: I have never had burnt naan bread and yellow daal makhni in my life. Attaching photos.Chef will have the decency atleast to cook the naan again , if it was burnt. Worst Indian food experience in Dublin. I think the restaurant is not even Indian. Its just named indian

01/02/2026: One of The best fish and chips i eat in dublin

16/12/2025: Nice fish and chips and burgers very fresh i must say

06/12/2025: The hotel is located in an easily accessible area, right in the heart of the nightlife. The Temple Bar area is a five-minute walk away, making its location a real plus. However, be aware that you'll hear music from the surrounding bars and clubs until late at night—even on the top floor where we stayed. Furthermore, our room was very cold, and the shower only provided lukewarm water, which significantly reduced comfort. The friendly staff and excellent location are positive.

06/11/2025: This is not a 5 star hotel but I'm leaving a 5 star review because it was perfect for me and my two friends. We wanted somewhere city centre for cheap, just for one night. We asked for three single beds and that's exactly what we got. The beds were so comfy, the bathroom was a good size and the shower was lovely. We had everything we needed. We didn't need luxury, just a bed in a warm place after a night out. There's no TV in the room but we didn't need that. There is a tea and Nespresso coffee machine though. You're five minutes away from a Luas or shops, it was perfect. We felt very secure staying there. Although we came back late at night/early morning, we had no issues getting back in. We checked out that morning and asked could we leave our bags while we went out for breakfast and although we came back later than we stated, our bags were kept stored neatly for us. The staff were lovely to deal with, very friendly. The place was decently clean, no issues to report at all. I would definitely stay here again for the same reason

14/01/2026: Food was nice and hot when it arrived. We got a breast of chicken curry, chicken fried rice box, chips, fried noodles and chicken balls. All really good but the chicken balls were the pick of what we ordered, a little on the expensive side but its worth it. 40-45 mins delivery on a Saturday evening is very good too.

10/01/2026: Charging for extra for everything gone far to expensive much better value and better quality out there

20/12/2025: Asked for thin and crispy garlic bread over the phone. Received a raw dough garlic bread, which was not thin or crispy. Came back to the store and asked nicely to just remake it, no issues at all. Started getting cheek from the chef that the garlic bread should be thick and fluffy. Well I don’t care because I asked for thin and crispy. Either way, his point didn’t matter because the dough was literally raw, just remake the pizza and stop chatting. Some new lady that helps making the pizzas started making disgust faces at me, as if I’m crazy for not eating a raw dough pizza. Madness.

15/12/2025: Dont order for delivery if your hungry because you'll be left famished, be prepared to wait 1hr and half, and pizza will arrive all soggy not nice at all!! Collection great! fresh! Just avoid ordering for delivery, as they wont even answer the phone for an update
