The best restaurants in Dublin

22/10/2024: The worst Italian meal I’ve ever had in my life! We received our meals 5 minutes apart from one another. The aubergine parmigiana was likely microwaved as it was still cold with just a melted cheese top. The pasta sauce was like a watered down chicken stock and the pizza was worse than a freezer version. With so many nice options in the area such as olivetto, belli dentro and dolce italia, I can’t understand how they’re still open!

05/10/2024: We happened to be in the area a Friday night to our surprised we managed to get a table for 4, the place was empty. Kids ordered carbonara and it tasted like no other carbonara we ever tasted before, no flavored whatsoever and was so dull kids wouldn't even touch it. My husband ordered a sausage ragu pasta and was chewie I was the only that kinda enjoyed my meal, I had the Tiger prawn risotto. The starters were so overpriced for what we got it was ridiculous to see the size of the brushetta. After all the disaster waiter came and took plates without even asking how was the food, maybe she is used to collecting full plates .... as no one will enjoy their food. If you are looking to over spend on crappy food this is your place but if you are like me ...enjoy good Italian food don't go there.

04/08/2024: FYI this place is closed. They took my booking and deposit and never informed me they were closing. It was for my sister's hens. Thank god for the hairy lemon across the road fitting all 12 of us in!

31/07/2024: Small space but perfect place for small parties. Great staff and good gentry. 👍🏼

26/05/2025: This is a good take away. The complaints about service simply don’t understand the Chinese culture. They are efficient, friendly f you know how to work with them. Food is good and value is good. And fast for collection. I don’t know about delivery.

07/05/2025: Avoid ! Overpriced bland food ! Rude counter staff and why no card payment ?

04/02/2025: The staff are nice Decent food Expensive but what restaurant isn't these days

18/08/2025: I grabbed a Skinny B shake after a class at Perpetua, and it was exactly what I needed. A fantastic post-class treat!

14/06/2025: I typically come here after going to Perpetua! It’s good but not great! I usually get an espresso, which is decent. And I have tried their açaí bowls and some protein shakes. Its just very convenient to have this after class, just over price for what you get

07/09/2025: Absolute ball in leggs delighted it's back open...danced our socks off much better than the dive next door cos friendly bouncers...Good music, good wine....ball❤️

18/05/2025: Without a doubt the worst late bar in Dublin. Only do cans and bottle. No draught which I find hysterical. The staff are rude. They are the so rude and short, terrible service I would never go there again and I’m actually so annoyed about this I have told my friends how terrible it is.

15/08/2025: Ordered food, got the wrong food so sent it back, then only after two hours i got the right food sent to me. Disgraceful, do not order from here unless u want to die or starvation and reading from other reviews, food poisoning?

09/08/2025: No stars should be shut down! Food poisoning in a container. Steer clear this is the worst food I have tasted the chicken was pinkish and slimey and to be honest I cant even confirm if it’s chicken. The curry sauce was like gelatine absolutely Disgusting and when I called no offer of refund just a “sorry about that” AVOID at all cost!

10/08/2025: Actually, the worse place in Dublin! Don’t trust their open hours . Don’t let anyone in an hour till closing;)

05/08/2025: The food's generally OK, but it's a dirty, smelly place with tatty, grimy seats and at least one broken table. Desperately needs a refurb. On this occasion, my coke tasted off and I didn't finish it. I won't be back.

15/08/2025: Great, efficient and fast service Delicious pizza Great staff

08/08/2025: Ordered for collection and was really disappointed. The order was wrong from the start, and two paid for side items were completely missing and had to be remade leaving the whole order cold. It’s unacceptable. People spend their hard earned money here and deserve much better. With the amount of bad reviews this place already has, you’d think they’d be trying harder to improve. It’s genuinely shocking how careless the service was. They should be ashamed and do better. The staff just stood around talking to eachother with no care or preparation for the food. Of any of the dominos I have tried in Dublin this has been the worst.

04/05/2025: Ready on time, loads of toppings, service with a smile 😃 Thanks!

12/04/2025: I love Four Star. Way better than that greasy Dominoes

13/07/2025: Worst southern fried chicken i have ever tasted,gave some chicken meat to the dog and he puked it up !! The short black eye lash on a chip was a bonus.

08/06/2025: Cannot fault the value or quality. I always pick up. Staff are sound

27/05/2025: La ubicación puede ser buena, pero pagas por la nariz por cualquier comida aquí. Basic Americano - 5 € - y un sanwhich 7 - 12 € para lo que podría costar 6 € en mi ciudad natal. Duplica el precio. Entiendo que la comodidad tiene un valor - pero eso es todo lo que tiene. en Dame Street - el cubo marrón principal está en la zona de comer y la puerta trasera de la cocina abierta de par en par. Estafar - ir a otro lugar si tienes tiempo para elegir!

17/05/2025: It was the best coffee I've had lately.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

13/08/2025: Stepping into KCR is like walking into your great grandas attic, if his attic was cash-only and smelled like stale pint and regret. This pub’s so stuck in the past, I half expected to be served by a bartender in a powdered wig. Spoiler: the only thing powder in here is the dust on the furniture—and maybe the clientele, who seem to have been regulars since the invention of the pint glass. First off, cash only? In 2025? I didn’t realize I needed to raid my piggy bank or swap a live chicken to get a lukewarm guinness. The sign might as well read, “No card, no service, no hope.” New customers are treated like aliens who crash-landed in their sacred land of the old time. The bartender—singular, because apparently one person is enough to “run” this place—will stare straight through you like you’re a ghost while chatting with their 70-year old VIPS. I usually wait five minutes to order, which felt like five years, especially since the bartender vanished for a “quick” 20-minute smoke break and place is empty. I’m pretty sure they were out back inventing time travel to keep this place stuck in 1972. And the flies— They’re not just visitors; they’re practically on the payroll, buzzing around like they own the kip. I’m pretty sure one of them tried to sell me a timeshare. It’s a shame, because this pub’s got a prime location that could be a goldmine if they dragged it into this century. Instead, it’s a shrine to the “coffin dodger” customers , who are clearly the only ones keeping this place afloat. I get it. loyalty’s sweet. but when the average customer age is eligible for a pigeon letter from st patrick himself, you might want to consider welcoming the under-80 crowd. At this rate, its got 5-10 years before it’s just a ghost town with a “For Sale” sign and a resident swarm of flies. Fix the furniture, embrace the 21st century with a card reader, and maybe invest in a flyswatter. Until then, I’ll be drinking somewhere that doesn’t feel like it’s auditioning for a haunted house gig. Cheers to hoping this review gets more traction than their customer service!

03/06/2025: This is definitely a pub for an older generation, who were having a great sing along with a mediocre performer. Staff were pleasant. My biggest issue is that it was a cash bar

09/02/2025: To be honest this is a cafe in a maternity hospital and it could do with a lick of paint and a tidy up.

28/01/2025: All good and calm place to have breakfast or snack Everything is served freshed and good taste Veg options also available

06/07/2025: Stay away to order from this take away.!!!!we got rubbish..all food was rubbish. We sent the food and drink back becouse fanta and coke was not real was fake and the food we couldn't touch. My husband after drinked a can of coke got sick instantly. We was asking for refund but they didn't want to give back the money.they said that will give another portions of food but we didn't want that anymore. So ,everything was disgusting and we will never order again.

25/06/2025: Since it changed ownership, it has become very expensive and the food is quite bland
