The best restaurants in Dublin

08/10/2025: Excellent food and a smiling, attentive waitress. This restaurant is a real treat. I highly recommend it.

08/10/2025: Food tasted great and the server was very friendly! Would recommend for a good lunch place.

19/10/2025: One of the best restaurants in Dublin 👍

12/10/2025: We waited a long time for our order. But it was worth it! Very interesting flavors. Meat for 2 people which costs more than 100 euros, it is worth trying!!!! It is incredibly tasty, very friendly, good staff, atmospheric, good for a date or for enjoying or tasting, respect to the waiters, you are very friendly. The mushroom risotto is also incredible, and the pate is very tasty. Thank you for such service.

03/11/2025: Stumbled upon this place looking for a wine bar on a Monday night. Nice low mood lighting inside gives this place a great atmospphere and there is a huge amount of wine on offer (for every taste). Food was excellent, with the charcuterie board being a good obvious choice for sharing. Soup was wonderful too! Will be back.

03/11/2025: A touch of France in the heart of Ireland. The wine guide is very interesting, as are the charcuterie boards.

16/08/2025: The staff and the way we were served, the preparation of the dishes, and the overall experience were excellent. We will definitely return.

08/08/2025: Fantastic food & service. Highly recommended.

05/10/2025: I ADORE this place. This restaurant gives very creative answers in putting fermented/pickled ingredients into their dishes. Apparently their menu also changes every week to reflect the season. One dish we had was with fermented walnuts. It tastes like pickled cucumber but looks like sliced mushrooms... The confit & liver pithivier thing in my duck breast dish was a gem. So good that I had to save it to the last. Eating at this place feels like a treasure hunt or foraging in a forest. There's something unique and creative in every dish. I could taste the attentiveness and the value of this restaurant. The atmosphere is great - welcoming, relaxing but with standard. You wouldn't feel underdressed wearing casual clothes, but you also know this place provides quality experience the second you walk in. Dessert - First time ever trying ice cream with woodruff flavour. Had to Google what woodroof is if I'm honest. Glad I tried. It's a mix taste of vanilla, cinnamon, and other fresh herbs. The creme brulee is THICK. It's VERY dense and creamy. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but beware, it might not be the wisest idea to finish all of it when you're nearly full. I had great fun eating here. What a successful adventure!! I recommend this place to everyone!

18/09/2025: Wonderful food with seasonal, local and fresh ingredients. The service is attentive and friendly, I would highly recommend if you’re in the area.

09/09/2025: Best night in Dublin. Lovely service from Darius , delicious food. Wonderfull evening.

08/09/2025: We had a lovely experience at this Italian restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious — really, really tasty — and the place itself is beautiful. Prices are fair for the quality of the food, and we received excellent service from a Ukrainian waiter named Dima, who was very attentive and kind. The only disappointing part of our visit was the attitude of another waiter, who supposedly had more experience but treated us very poorly. We’re not sure if it was racism or something else, but his behavior was the only negative aspect of our evening. Overall, we highly recommend the restaurant for its food, atmosphere, and Dima’s great service.

02/10/2025: Fantastic choice and quality of food and great service. Highly recommend.

28/09/2025: Simple Feedback Great food Great and nice service Perfect evening Greetings from Germany

27/10/2025: What can I say about this place everything was 5 star from start to finish. Was definitely worth the wait. Definitely worth a visit you will not be disappointed. Thanks to the waiting staff and the chefs. 5 star all the way

27/10/2025: From the moment we were greeted and seated the experience here is fantastic I never got the guys name who looked after us he was superb with recommendations. We had some small plates to start the squid and crochets and hake and sides for main with a crème caramel desert to share washed down with a lovely bottle of red. It’s a lovely cosy atmosphere and we will most definitely be back to try more from the menu.

15/07/2025: Great steaks, wine, staff and menu

13/07/2025: Great steak with side. I would maybe prefer not to have the steak served with the dip on top but great quality

25/10/2025: My group and I loved the food, drinks, and the atmosphere. The people who work here are a JOY. We loved the happy vibes. Breakfast was filling and the lattes were great. Employees went above and beyond offering extra things to make our experience the best.

24/10/2025: During my stay in Dublin I had breakfast here twice since I loved the first one so much. Staff is super friendly and the food is really tasty. I had the bagel with salmon twice, I loved it and still think about it.

18/10/2025: We stayed at The Schoolhouse Hotel in Dublin for our last night in Ireland, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Upon check-in, we were warmly greeted by Lorena, who was so welcoming and helpful. We had arrived early, and to our delight, our room was already ready — such a lovely surprise! The hotel had a homey, comfortable feel, with a nicely appointed room and a very comfortable bed, making it the ideal place to unwind before our early flight the next morning. We also dined at the Schoolhouse Bistro, which was wonderfully convenient and truly exceptional. The space was dark, cozy, and full of charm, and the food was outstanding — both the dry-aged steak and chicken fillet “en croute” were absolutely delicious. The cocktails were top notch, and the service was second to none. A special thank you to Iliana, Germano, Erick, and Lucag for making the evening so memorable with their warmth and professionalism. The entire experience was a perfect finale to our trip — highly recommend both the hotel and restaurant! 🇮🇪✨

17/10/2025: Out for a business lunch with a colleague at the restaurant. The restaurant is quite welcoming and when we walked in at 12.30PM, the place was empty. It took another 15-20min for every table to be occupied. We ordered a Caesar Salad with Chicken, and a Pulled Chicken Sandwich. The food came quickly and the taste was quite good. The place is definitely worth a visit.

20/09/2025: An amazing course by Bartira for beginners!! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to become a Barista!

18/09/2025: A very complete and interesting course. I really liked it and the teacher is very patient with everyone.

28/10/2025: Great friendly atmosphere. Quieter from the busy streets. The food was spot on and crafted to perfection. Brilliant breads and sauces. Good soup.

28/10/2025: How did I get so lucky to choose Hugo's Restaurant purely by chance? I was looking for a place close to our hotel and landed here. What a phenomenal meal! I had the burrata & heirloom tomato starter while my husband opted for the crab with cucumber. Both were simply bursting with flavor - the burrata was creamy and the crab excruciatingly fresh. My husband had the braised shortrib main - oh, my sainted aunt, the complexity of the flavor of this deceptively simple dish was mind-blowing. I had the duck breast with figs & celeriac - again, perfection. We had a great deal of difficulty slowing down enough to savor each bite instead of the natural instinct to devour everything as quickly as possible. My pavlova dessert had lime crumbles, lemon curd, and blueberry sorbet, along with some fresh blueberries. My husband had the chocolate choux bun with "Happy Anniversary" written on the plate. It was the night before we had to depart for home, and we couldn't have asked for a more outstanding experience. The host (Robert?) was totally adorable and helpful, and Gina, one of the owners, came over and chatted with us - I could have cheerfully stayed longer but I had to get back to pack my suitcase. In a word, this is one of the best restaurants we've ever dined at, including Paris and a 3-star restaurant in Rome. Simply amazing. Absolutely book a table for a meal you won't forget!

06/10/2025: Lovely traditional pub, but it's time to say goodbye to the cigarette tar and the table in the corner has got to go. Just an edit - I can't reply to your comment there. The table has an active infestation of borer beetles. The powdery substance collecting in the grooves in the table is their excrement. These beetles will begin to infest the rest of the pub over time.

03/10/2025: Great experience and amazing food. The staff was friendly and service was fast.

18/10/2025: Nicest sushi we’ve had in Dublin 💚

01/10/2025: Absolutely amazing food as usual, amazing service and a cosy relaxing ambience.
