The best restaurants in Dublin

20/07/2026: Food was below average for a 4star hotel. We stayed the night and bought a package deal which included 3 course meal. Wings were so dry as if they had been sat under heater for long time, then tossed in cheap sauce. The main was a burger which sounded nice on the menu, but when arrived was bleak looking, nothing you couldn't throw together at home. Very underwhelming. Dessert was tasty, again nothing special but how wrong can you go with a chocolate pudding. Unfortunately wont be back.

16/05/2026: Unfortunately, this hotel and its restaurants were booked for us through work, so we had to stay and dine here for 4 days. I normally wouldn’t leave a negative review, but I honestly want future guests to know what to expect if they’re staying here for multiple days. The food across the restaurants was very mediocre. The menu is extremely limited, most dishes were overly salty, and overall everything felt bland and uninspired. After a couple of days, it genuinely became difficult to find anything enjoyable to eat. If you’re staying here for more than a night or two, just keep in mind that you may end up relying on these restaurants, and the dining experience is unfortunately one of the weakest parts of the stay.

17/08/2026: Ordered from them and they kept pushing the time to deliver back for up to 2 hours. When I asked the 4th driver I was assigned to ask when it would be ready, he told me they didn’t have something for my order. How hard was it to ring me?? I doubt they would’ve sent anything out and hoped I didn’t ask for a refund. Ridiculous.

16/07/2026: The bread isn't nice and there was a bin overflowing behind the counter. Never again.

17/08/2026: It was a peaceful and a clean café, where there was a good environment to have a chat with a friend. There were many seats available. The eclair tasted nice, but the red velvet cake was overly sweet. The frosting seemed like it was made of 99% sugar and 1% cream. But overall, the service was great and the barista seems like she was moving as fast as she could to serve us.

21/07/2026: Takeout only. The quality of food depends, I suspect on whom they have cooking on that particular time. Sometimes they have it just right, other times it is below their standard.

29/05/2026: I got terrible food poisoning from this take away. Sick for the last 24 hours. Not recommended at all.

15/07/2026: If I could give 0 stars I would. The rudest staff, the greasiest food and the most unpleasant experience. DO NOT GO

15/07/2026: My experience of BOSS HOGS in Clondalkin Village, AVOID!! Today I went on a walk with my 3.5 month old in his pram, he wasn’t due a bottle but as nature calls he looked for a bottle and I couldn’t find anywhere for shade, laurels wasn’t open, passed east village (would usually go here and they would have no problem if you buy or don’t buy but I get a coffee here every day) Sat outside, which was empty and started to feed my son as a girl came out and said “you can’t feed here babe” I said babe? Never asked me did I need a coffee or such. I went inside said to the manager that it’s so warm out I can’t find shade and human nature calls a baby needs to be fed and he said that wasn’t his problem it was for his customers only, I said she never once asked did I need anything but there is no such thing left of empathy around here no wonder businesses close with that attitude! I had to leave with my baby crying and hungry, I would have bought the whole shop and more if I had to feed him. Would always give my business to East Village, living in Monastery and on Maternity leave I buy a lot of coffees, they’re so accommodating with babies and mothers, unlike boss hogs which is clearly always empty anyway!!

29/08/2026: Staff are friendly, fast and well known of their products/offers. I always come back to rhis branch.

22/08/2026: Ate there yesterday, was my only meal of day. Got sick 1 hour after, got stomach flue... Never again

26/07/2026: Absolutely filthy, floor and tables disgusting and people openly vaping, avoid!

06/07/2026: No Toilets open in a McDonald's today while the Trainee Manager tucks into his Big Mac

12/09/2026: Absolute disgrace!!!!! Appalling food/service & attitude of staff- to be avoided. Staff handling food and payments, no gloves, one man took his hat off ran his dirty hand through his long hair and put his hat back on before serving us. Curry chip tray was like soup with a few (cold) chips floating in it and the strawberry milkshake couldn’t be drank using a straw as it was just chunks of ice and tasted horrible!! Deserves to be shut down 🤮

02/09/2026: I stumbled upon this place as I was in the area looking for a late breakfast, it was around 3pm, had been on the go all morning and it got a bit late to get a sandwich from a deli so said to myself, chipper will do. So I ordered a dinner box, plenty of salt and vinegar, garlic sauce and a can of coke. It was the first time I've tried this place, took a few snaps while I was there hoping this might be a handy go-to for a quick stop when I'm In the area again. In fairness the service was good, guy working there friendly, chips were good, garlic sauce was good, coke was nice and chilled out of the fridge, but unfortunately one of the 3 pieces of the chicken was chilled too. I had to put it aside to bring home for later to make a chicken sambo. The two hot pieces were alright as was the chicken sambo I made for a bit of supper. All in all not completely impressed but I may swing by again in the future and try a burger or a pizza, will update on that at a later date.

01/07/2026: The place is absolutely filthy and covered in rubbish and despite the place being empty, not one of the staff could care enough to clean it. They’re constantly forgetting items from the order and have a generally snippy mood when asked about missing items. Report lodged with the health inspector

09/06/2026: Soggy, chewy and cold chicken nuggets. No straws either like honestly?

06/09/2026: I got a take away from summer inn ballyfermot, it was absolutely inedible,so so salty, all 3 of us only ate a bit of our meals & the rest went in the bin, total waste of €50.

15/07/2026: the quality has gone through the floor. the last 3 orders have been consistently poor, no seasoning on spice bags, rubbery chewy chicken that even the dog nearly choked on. the black bean sauce was also sour, felt sick after eating it! never again.

15/03/2026: Lovely staff. Food is always amazing. 👌

26/12/2025: Very bad experience and never going back there. The staff is very rude and when i asked about my order they werent even trying to coperate.

10/08/2026: Good atmosphere and nice workers, but horrible food, bad noodles, bad prawn, lukewarm food

14/07/2026: I visited this all-you-can-eat restaurant with my family, and we were all extremely disappointed. The food was not tasty at all. There were only a few dishes to choose from, and none of them tasted good. The restaurant was also very dirty, which made the experience even worse. You have to pay in advance, and in my opinion, the price is far too high for the quality of the food and the overall experience. Everyone in my family was unhappy, and we would definitely never come back. I am honestly surprised that a restaurant in this condition is still allowed to stay open without better hygiene inspections. I cannot recommend this place to anyone.

09/06/2026: Not the best food to be honest. The unit itself is ok. Have to update this review with a picture of the worst coffees ive ever been handed. Machine from the spar would pour better.

20/05/2026: Banana bread was old, hard and dry. And €3.40 for a simple cup of tea. Outrageous. And the staff couldn’t be bothered to smile once, and seemed grumpy and uninterested in any kind of service at all. Gross banana bread crumbs still on the table this afternoon after my morning visit (4 hours later).

05/09/2026: Terrible establishment. The order was supposed to be delivered at 7:30 PM, but by 9 PM it still hadn’t arrived. When we called, the staff member didn’t even know about our order. She then said she had found it and proceeded to hang up on us several times.

25/06/2026: Absolutely shocking food, pizza was like cardboard, burnt to a crisp. Chip all broken and looked like leftovers in the box and you could taste the flour raw flour or whatever they used on the chicken tenders

21/06/2026: Not the first time this has happened me so raging I gave here another chance. Spice bag is literally chips and some tiny pieces of chicken, absolutely covered in powder, making it too salty and spicy to even eat. Not one onion or pepper in the spice bag. Majority went in bin as couldn't eat it

09/06/2026: Noodle Wednesday box is the best!
