The best restaurants in Dublin

18/11/2025: Loved the roast beef. Good gluten-free options

15/11/2025: Friendly and attentive staff. Delicious food with impeccable presentation and plating. Celebrated my birthday there and all my friends had a lovely time. 100% can recommend.

19/11/2025: Excellent food - tapas and pasta dishes especially. There are choices for vegetarians. The tortilla pancake appetizer was great. But it was cold near the door.

17/11/2025: Absolutely delicious food and fabulous wine selections. They were kind enough to fit us in without a reservation and the service was excellent. Absolutely fair pricing for the quality of food and atmosphere.

29/11/2025: I've been coming here for about 15 years and must say the consistency and quality of the food and service here is incredible. I usually go for the Regular Breakfast and honestly never wait more than 5 minutes before getting my food.. I dont know how they do it!! And its always the same super high quality ingredients. Always.

28/11/2025: The place is located a little outside the city center, which is a plus. The prices are fair and the food is very generous. The atmosphere is a little run down. I would gladly return 👍🏻

17/12/2025: Food, service and atmosphere were exceptional!

12/12/2025: Food was great. The only downsides were service that felt a bit rushed and terrible acoustics of the restaurant. It’s a small place and while it was not completely full when we were there, you were unable to talk without having to raise your voice. Some sound proofing would hep perhaps

27/11/2025: I’m not lying, five stars for every single aspect. First of all, the staff is incredibly kind, polite, and respectful; they’re always attentive to whatever you need. The food was exceptionally flavourful, every dish was full of taste and pure deliciousness. The atmosphere was lovely as well, with Christmas decorations everywhere, giving it a very nostalgic feel. The owner was also present and always took the time to check on us. A solid 10 out of 10.

26/11/2025: From the beautiful interior to the most friendliest accommodating staff. I cannot say enough good things about Hugo’s. And of course the food is amazing. So good, after my first visit I made reservations and came back the next night. Thank you Hugos!!! Highly recommended

02/10/2025: As a Mexican, I recommend eating here! Everything is delicious.

28/09/2025: Great place for a breakfast Roll or Sandwich, always a bit if banter with the staff. Recommend 👌

25/10/2025: The barista course was amazing! The teacher was excellent, super enthusiastic and inspiring 🌟☕️☕️

25/10/2025: I loved the course, Bartira is very didactic and kind, I feel confident to start working even without experience. I highly recommend it!!

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.

14/11/2025: Excellent lunch with friends; everything was perfect, the dishes were refined, delicate, and delicious, the setting is truly pleasant, and the staff were charming and attentive. A lovely restaurant in the Hotel Merrion.

08/11/2025: The service in this place is what stood out for me. The waiters and waitresses were all so friendly but very professional at the same time. What really did it for me though was when the staff noticed I hadn’t eaten my foie gras amuse bouche, they brought me out an alternative. And then for my appetiser, they removed the foie gras from it without me having to ask. Such a nice touch and shows the staff are really on the ball. Food was excellent as well needless to say! Unfortunately only took photos of the desserts, but the whole meal was wonderful

09/12/2025: Classic Irish pub experience with live music, good beer, and delicious food! The special Christmas turkey plate was AMAZING and the curry was slightly sweet with the right amount of spice. We were sat at the back bar, by the beer garden, right away and enjoyed looking at the bars different knick knacks. We couldn’t see the musicians but that’s alright because you can hear them clearly throughout the bar! It started to get crowded around 7pm but it wasn’t too bad because there’s plenty of room to move around and the beer garden offers a silent retreat, with heating. Definitely worth a visit!

09/12/2025: Excellent! For me, the best pub in Dublin. The atmosphere is great. The bartenders are friendly, the food is delicious, especially the Irish stew. The music is fantastic, and they bring in some great people. We spent three nights in Dublin, and this was the best for us. We went to other pubs in the city center, but there's no comparison; this place is authentic. Sometimes you have to wait a bit for a table, but it's worth it.

06/11/2025: Visiting from NJ. Friends that live in Ireland took us here. What a cool place. Its what I always envisioned an Irish Pub to be like. Great pint of Guinness. Bartender was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely a place to stop in for a pint and good fun conversation

04/11/2025: Off the beaten path but very much a wonderful pub. Excellent coddle and one of the best Guinness pours near Dublin. Hopefully this stays as a hidden gem and doesn't become ridden with tourists like The Cobblestone has become over the past few years. Very much looking forward to our next visit at this lovely pub.

06/12/2025: A fantastic day from start to finish which completely exceeded our expectations. Sincere thanks to Darragh for being a pleasure to deal with in the lead up to the day and for replying to our emails in a timely manner. The whole planning process was stress free as a result. Stephen was an exceptional host on the day itself and ensured we had some time to ourselves throughout the evening. Our guests all complimented the fabulous food and service provided by the team. The attention to detail is unmatched - they went above and beyond to ensure the day went smoothly. We are both absolutely delighted we chose No.25 - the team are a credit to this fabulous venue. Thanks again, Laura and Eoin.

30/11/2025: I recently had the pleasure of attending a friend’s wedding at Fitzwilliam 25, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The food was exquisite, the service was impeccable, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. The venue itself is breathtaking. The charm, elegance, and character of the place added so much to the day, making the entire experience unforgettable. I can’t recommend Fitzwilliam 25 highly enough for anyone looking for a stunning and flawlessly run event space.

24/09/2025: Two Mugs has the best coffee and protein balls around!!

24/09/2025: Two Mugs have lovely coffee and plenty of snacks and treats to go with it. Great buzzing atmosphere around the place and the staff are very friendly and good craic.

22/11/2025: We visited Pog in Dublin last weekend and it was brilliant! We were served by Vince who was very great! I’m Coeliac and had heard great things about POG providing gluten free pancakes which is why we went. Vince was very aware of Coeliac disease and understood cross contamination well. He made sure what I ordered was safe and I had the best breakfast! Our party we’re over the moon with how happy I was😂 the rest of the party had the cooked breakfast which they said was delicious! We had to wait for a table as there was 6 of us but it didn’t take longer than 15-20minutes so it wasn’t a problem for us. Will definitely go again when we next visit Dublin!

22/11/2025: Bustling city vibe eatery meets super personal service from my lovely waiter Vince on a busy Saturday Brunch-time. Excellent beverage recommendation with a refreshing Bellini to complement my zingy and fresh tasting Avo on Toast. Great stop off by the river before catching the bus to the airport! Adios!

06/11/2025: Lovely fresh pasta followed by chocolate cheese cake to die for. Definitely will be back. Such friendly people working in La Dolce.

23/10/2025: Beautiful, I went to Italy for an hour!!
