The best restaurants in Dublin

27/09/2026: 1/5 — Terrible coffee, even worse service, and zero accountability I never thought I'd write a review like this, but my experience at Starbucks was genuinely the worst I've ever had. First of all, the coffee — honestly the worst I've ever tasted. I don't know how they manage it, but it's bad. And the service? Probably the worst I've encountered in my entire life. The staff were unhelpful and indifferent, and the overall atmosphere in the place is just awful. But the real issue is this: they sell products with no guarantee whatsoever. I bought a metal cup there for €31 — not exactly cheap — and they refuse to give any warranty or returns on it. Two weeks later, the cup broke. When I tried to resolve it, both the management and the team lead told me plainly: "We don't offer a guarantee on these products." But it wasn't free — it was paid for, and quite expensive. It's simply a very poorly made product, and nobody is willing to take any responsibility for it. So to sum up: bad coffee, terrible service, overpriced low-quality merchandise, and no accountability. I'm shocked and deeply disappointed. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

30/06/2026: Tried ordering through Just Eat, as we had a long day going around dublin and wanted to have a night in our hotel. Ended up waiting 2 hours, order never arrived and they don't answer their phone.

26/07/2026: Beautiful cafe in the heart of Dublin. Loads of tables and chairs. Beautiful view overlooking O'Connell Street. Lovely Staff, great service. Food was tasty and serviced very nicely. No rush just hassle free dining. Nice spot to sit and relax before shopping.

30/06/2026: As a Brazilian, I loved so much the Irish food from here! Today I had: Beef stew🍲, mashed potatoes🥔, carrots🥕, and cabbage🥬. And for dessert, I had rice 🍚 pudding with strawberry 🍓 jam. Absolutely tasty 😋❤️‍🔥😍🥹

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.

05/08/2026: Highly recommended, very good quality products

30/07/2026: Parking is the only criticism- great store

14/10/2026: The place was dirty, toilets dirty and the whole Caffe shop needed a good cleaning. Don't waste your time here.

10/10/2026: Nice coffee shop! It’s a bit crusted for space but location is good! The few times I’ve been there some if the tables has not been cleaned up.

05/10/2026: Asked for a Double cheese Burger only cheese.I was the the only one who ordered at the till and they still messed it up.It wasn't until I got to my bustop did I realize and gave it to the pigeons.Not only that I'm diabetic so I took my insulin before hand so when I had nothing to eat I went into a hypo and luckily I had a lift shot with me.This is a constant issue I face with Macdonald's to a point I'm gonna stick with burger king as they have pre made burgers that only have cheese on it.

03/10/2026: Really terrible, I wanted to eat something but since I'm celiac they don't have anything for those who have my problem, not even a single uncontaminated sandwich or chips, really terrible.

30/08/2026: Nice food and the server was really nice

24/07/2026: The taste of tomato sauce was average

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.

27/06/2026: Excellent food and delivery. Will be a regular customer 💯

10/05/2026: I ordered something and received something completely different. I paid double for nothing. The food was cold, and the pizza crust was hard. And when you want to contact them, there's no way to reach anyone. Very disappointing experience overall, and I would not recommend ordering from here.

15/09/2026: To be fair, I have been a great customer of copppers, but last night I was unfairly turned away well before I even checked my ID or Age card. I was not even that friendly with the coppered people before they turned away, but they turned me away regardless.

13/09/2026: Awful experience at the door. My friends and I were turned away for no valid reason by extremely rude and unprofessional security staff. Terrible treatment of potential customers—will not be returning👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

13/09/2026: Not open on time. Excuse was "to check ingredients". However, due to the open time being specified at a specific time, these checks should've been completed before open time. This is a telltale sign of a lack of punctuality, and therefore an improfesionally ran franchise. The open time should mean that orders are to be taken at THAT specific time!

09/09/2026: The men's bathrooms are spooky to say the least
