The best restaurants in Dublin

13/12/2025: Great food and excellent service. When I got in, I let them know that I had a very limited amount of time because I was heading to a movie. They had my Mee Goreng ready in 10 minutes!

03/12/2025: Was excited to find this gem in the heart of Dublin! I wasn't able to dine in, but I picked up my order and got a brief look at the restaurant. Let’s start with the food. I ordered some basics: 1. Nasi Lemak - The rice was fragrant without being overly coconut-y. The sambal, with big slices of cooked onion, leaned sweet, ikan bilis/peanuts and the rendang sauce paired perfectly with the dish. The fried chicken drumstick was juicy and fried to perfection! 2. Char Kuay Teow - Hmm… it lacked that essential “wok hei” (IYKYK). That said, the shrimp and squid were huge and generously served. And the winner of the night… *drum roll…* 1. Fook Kian Chow (Hokkien Mee) - This was my first time having such authentic Hokkien Mee outside of Malaysia. I’ve tried many Malaysian restaurants in the States, and so far, all were disappointing. But THIS! They had the fried chicken skin pieces (instead of the traditional usual pork lard) on top— that works! So it’s def HALAL and pork free! The noodles were cooked perfectly in the rich, dark brown sauce, and they were very generous with the shrimp and sotong (squid). Owner/Staff: Legit Malaysians who made me feel right at home with their language, smiles, and of course, the food. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

08/12/2025: First time in the Treetop for a family get together on Sunday and had an amazing experience. The food was exceptional especially the steak sandwich and the fish and chips and the cocktails were so tasty. Best Porn Star Martini I have had in ages. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Will definitely be back 10/10!!

07/12/2025: Great place for a meal, service is top class and food is unreal

28/10/2025: Pancakes super oversweet with nutella. Coffee low quality

25/10/2025: Loved this place for breakfast. Mango smoothie was the hit for the kids. Pancakes were huge so one pancake between both kids was enough. Portions are great to start the day - couldn’t finish them! Only negatives: 1. there was a flickering light that was mildly disappointing. 2. The poached egg was just 10/20 seconds undercooked. But the flavours of all the dishes were smashing! Would come back again.

21/10/2025: With gluten-free options, very tasty, reasonably priced, we ordered takeout and they were quick!

19/09/2025: The sandwich was good and the burger was excellent. The kind and helpful staff made the difference in our difficulty expressing ourselves in English. 😊

16/12/2025: A safe bet for Italians! A very refined atmosphere, a very nice place! The food is good Italian for a foreign country, recommended for those who want a pasta dish or a good main course! The staff is very kind and friendly, greetings to Giorgia!

13/12/2025: I ordered the 23 euro carbonara. I found it too salty for my taste to be enjoyable. I know carbonara contains salty ingredients but I've had others that were more balanced. The portion size was too small for me personally especially considering the price, I was still a bit hungry afterwards. The service was ok, but it seemed like the waiter didn't care and might even come off as a bit rude. I don't think we were being terrible customers. The atmosphere and the decorations were very good. I would not recommend the carbonara and would suggest ordering something else.

14/11/2025: UPDATE 14 Nov 25: following response from Jenny of Camile Thai below I thought it important to update this review. The response from Jenny that rodent activity was not present in food handing areas is completely ant odds to report published online, extract below. It confirms Rodent activity was identified in food handling areas including droppings in kitchen, dry goods storage, wash up and kitchen corridor. Don’t mislead the public/customers and compound the issue by lying. “Regulation (EC) no. 852/2004 Annex Il Chapter | (2c); Chapter IX (4) Pest Control Procedures There was evidence of rodent activity in food handling areas of the premises including rodent droppings found in the kitchen area, dry goods storage area, the wash up area and the back kitchen corridor. A report from Pest control dated 19/9/25 confirmed 'light activity' at the premises but there was no subsequent pest control reports available. rodents are known to carry a range of harmful food pathogens (including salmonella) which they spread via droppings, urine, saliva and on their bodies. Nobody at the premises was trained or supervised adequately to realize that food handling should have been stopped where rodent activity was evident. Your pest control contractor should complete visits over the coming days to eliminate the presence of rodents and provide expert guidance on required proofing. Cleaning of droppings should take place immedietely and also deep cleaning and sanitizing should also take place of the whole premises as dried urine could remain on surfaces. Evidence will be sought to ensure that all recommendations made by the pest control contractor to the food business have been complied with.” WARNING: updated 2 weeks post original review. I got really ill shortly after getting take away from this location. Lasted a day or so. To my horror I discovered today the restaurant was recently served a closure notice for evidence of active rodent issues in kitchen, wash up area and prep, dry storage locations! Vile! 🤢🤢 Original review: Perfect place to go for lukewarm & re-heated food. I ordered in the takeaway and was surprised to get my food within 5mins… Understood why when I got home. Live around the corner so no opportunity for food to go cold on way home. Meat portions are poor also. Overall very mediocre and seriously overpriced. I have been about 4 times and it’s always been poor

12/11/2025: Zero surprise the Food Safety Authority shut them down. Poor hygiene is unacceptable. Good job by the FSA.

15/12/2025: Savage food and interior, staff are also really nice, good buzz about the place too

11/12/2025: We had a large group of 19. At first they were going to split us up but we managed to squeeze together. It was a little tight but I think it was a better experience than some of us sitting away from the main group.

31/08/2025: A great pub and the staff are chatty.

30/08/2025: Wonderful pizzas. The best was the one with shrimp, meats, and cheese.

09/11/2025: 5 star experience here. Food, Service and Setting all incredible. One of Dublin’s hidden gems for sure, will be back!

16/09/2025: We’ve been here several times and it has been an amazing experience each time. Great atmosphere and the food is stunning. They have a sharing-style menu with lots of small plates, good for a group of friends.

22/10/2025: Excellent service outdoor seating freshly made food and coffee 👍

15/10/2025: Just had the club sandwich here and it what the best sandwich I have ever eaten.i had to go back in and tell the staff also.

13/12/2025: Very convenient location on the bus route to the airport. Modern hotel, spacious, spotless room. Very good dinner at the hotel restaurant at a reasonable price for a 4-star hotel. Fast checkin and checkout. The location is on a busy 4-lane street so I would ask for a room not facing the street.

11/12/2025: Room was massive, bed extremely comfy and facilities were great

23/11/2025: We loved this place, the sharing platter was so good, filled us both up and the quality was spot on, staff really nice and decent pricing.

18/11/2025: Very nice American-style location and venue. Prices are average for the food. Overall, the food wasn't bad, but it wasn't comparable to the tuxedo you get in America. The chicken and ribs were excellent, but the brisket and pulled pork were a bit dry.

25/10/2025: Really nice pub, worth a visit. Away from the chaos of Temple Bar. Much more reasonable prices. Toast and Guinness €10.

22/10/2025: Lorna and Ger are some of the most amazing staff I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Bibi made me the best toastie I've ever had in Dublin. We won't mention Steve but all in all great establishment! highly recommend and I'll certainly be back!

30/10/2025: Had a great experience here. The food was amazing, especially the Peri Peri Burger and wings. The kebabs were incredibly tasty too, thanks to Farooq who really knows how to get the flavors right. Paula was super friendly and gave the best suggestions. And Aadil, the owner, welcomed everyone with such a cheerful vibe. Overall, delicious food and an awesome team. Definitely coming back! 🍔✨

29/10/2025: Delicious food, fabulous staff. Would highly recommend.

13/10/2025: Lovely place and delicious breakfast

09/10/2025: I like this place. I've eaten here before and I'll eat here again. I've recommended it before also and I'll do so again. But PLEASE PLEASE remember that NOT everyone thinks rocket is an acceptable substitute for lettuce! I absolutely HATE rocket. It's the most disgusting excuse of a green around. It has such a deadening taste on any plate. MOREOVER, if your menu says LETTUCE and you order a Bacon LETTUCE, Avocado & Tomato sandwich, there should be NO rocket on the plate at all! And there should be some lettuce at least. AND hopefully more than the smidgen of tomato & avocado you put on this sandwich! If you have no lettuce please tell customers or call it a BRAT instead of a BLAT!
