The best restaurants in Dublin

22/08/2025: Finally tried Third Space and was not disappointed! Lovely staff and great food. The service was quick and the cafe itself has a lovely cozy vibe with books available to read and swap. Such a great place in the community. FYI to order, grab a table and a menu from the front (beside the door or the till). Once you are ready to order, order and pay at the counter and they will give you a number for your table. You can get some cutlery in front of the till. They will bring your drinks etc to your table once ready (which is usually pretty quick). Some veggie and vegan options also available and they do takeaway too.

21/08/2025: Quemado un poco en desayunos completos Inglés / Irlandés a mitad de nuestro viaje al Reino Unido, nos topamos con esta joya ubicada cerca de nuestro hotel Smithfield que ofrece deliciosos pasteles (el cruasanes de almendras es una necesidad) , ollas de yogur con fruta y granola, y un fantástico café - además de un desayuno completo o medio irlandés, desayuno y almuerzo sándwiches y más. WiFi gratis para los clientes y el personal amable. Ordene en el mostrador; tenga en cuenta que cocinar para ordenar el desayuno caliente tarda de 15 a 20 minutos. Volvimos dos veces para el desayuno y una tercera vez para el café. Muy recomendable!

23/10/2025: Went there after a DCU graduation it was a Wednesday at 5pm, was a bit worried that we would be sitting in the restaurant on our own gladly we were wrong. There were enough people in to take the empty look from the place. The food was excellent from the starters through to main meals. We had mussels, brie and crepes as starters and a fish, chicken and lasagne as the main. All cooked to perfection. Only downside was I forgot my glasses so never got to read the full menu so cannot say anymore, it's also a little to far for me to travel to so I will have to wait another year for the masters graduation to return. Many thanks.

09/10/2025: Fabulous restaurant with great service and a great owner. You can’t go wrong with this place.

11/12/2025: My cousin was hospitalised in St. James’s Hospital after an accident, which left his lips badly injured. The only food he could manage was fries. I couldn’t find anywhere nearby that sold them, so when a coffee shop told me they offered fries, I ordered a takeaway portion from the first floor and was asked to wait outside. Because I couldn’t stand on the stairs, I waited outside the bar in the cold. After about ten minutes, I went back in to enquire and was then told to wait in the basement bar. I sat there for almost another ten minutes. As someone who manages a branded restaurant myself, I normally avoid leaving negative feedback, but the staff didn’t seem to show much care or consideration for customers. I felt ignored and made to feel as though my presence was an inconvenience. I don’t mind waiting; what bothered me was the lack of friendliness. The only person who showed genuine courtesy was the older gentleman cleaning the outdoor seating area. A customer is a customer, whether they spend €1 or €100.

07/12/2025: We went for a quick drink before visiting the Guinness Storehouse. We weren't asked what we wanted to drink. We were told, "If you want to sit down, you have to order something." We ended up going to the bar and ordering two coffees. We sat back down, but our coffee was gone, and the bill was immediately thrust in front of us. We were getting angry looks from the staff the whole time. We paid the bill, and the owner came over to say he needed the table quickly. Very rude staff. I would never go back there again.

13/11/2025: wonderful environment- cozy space, friendly staff. great spot

06/11/2025: Popped into Loughys for a couple of pints...beautiful pints of Guinness, served by friendly staff, in a lovely cozy old school local atmosphere

11/10/2025: This restaurant and its sister restaurant Konkan have fallen off a cliff in terms of quality but have raised prices. The lamb in my order was not shoulder or shank, it had a lower cut flavor which would have been fine if it had been cooked long enough, every pice of lamb had unrendered fat and cartilage.

20/06/2025: Delicious food at a good price. The prawns were amazing. The service was stellar. I booked a table for dinner for my partners birthday, they played happy birthday (at a reasonable volume so as not to disturb other diners) & brought him a slice of delicious chocolate cake with candle and all. It was a lovely touch and a great end to the fantastic meal. I look forward to eating here again soon.

02/10/2025: Good. And I recommend to add some juice or smt offered together with soft drinks. I don’t like junk food and drinks. Desserts too expensive to its size.

28/09/2025: We celebrated our son’s 4th birthday here and it was such a wonderful experience! Andra was incredibly warm and added a personal touch to everything — she listened to all our requirements and arranged the party exactly how we imagined. The Spider-Man theme decorations were amazing, and the customized buffet had a wide variety of delicious food (vegetarian only) that everyone enjoyed. With over 50 guests, the combination of indoor and outdoor seating worked perfectly and gave everyone plenty of space. The staff were caring and attentive, and all our guests left very happy. A big thank you to Moreish Pizza for making the day so special — highly recommended for parties and celebrations!

25/11/2025: Ari was a great server, brought great vibes and good energy

25/11/2025: We had a lovely meal and drinks this evening. Ari couldn’t do more for us. Always checking in to see how we were getting on and if we needed more drinks/food. Lovely atmosphere and so cosy with all the Christmas decorations

03/10/2025: Stopped in for a quick muffin and scone

02/10/2025: Friendly service, delicious flat white, and nice seating area outside on a quaint street

04/11/2025: A Brilliant Find - Mister Magpie Coffee Mister Magpie Coffee is a gem in Dublin! We popped in for a quick coffee on our way to the market, and despite the busy atmosphere, the baristas worked quickly and efficiently, getting us our caffeine fix in no time. The coffee was absolutely delicious - well-balanced, rich, and expertly brewed. Highlights: - Exceptional Coffee: Delicious, well-balanced coffee that hit the spot - Quick Service: Busy but speedy baristas kept the line moving - Great Spot: Perfect stop for a pre-market caffeine boost Mister Magpie Coffee is, hands down, the best coffee shop in Dublin! Can't wait to return and savor another cup.

30/10/2025: The pancake was the most delicious one I’ve ever had! It was so soft — like biting into a cloud — and every piece was full of flavour. Honestly, what was that? OMG, I loved it! The staff were also incredibly friendly, and I felt completely at home 🥹

16/09/2025: The food is nice and the atmosphere as well, but the service is a bit slow

14/09/2025: The most amazing place to go with your doggo. The chef asked our waiter to check what way my dog wanted his chicken cooked 😁 All the staff came over to dote on him and he was made to feel as welcome all the human customers. Pye leads the way in how our furry children should be treated. Let's not forget how amazing their food is. So so tasty. Thank you. Always a pleasure coming in.

12/10/2025: Beautiful place- a real addition to the area.

28/09/2025: Surprised to arrive to find a car queuing system but in a small car park that can’t accommodate it. It was difficult to abandon it and get back out. Frustrating.

16/12/2025: A delicious breakfast, but above all, the service from the waitresses is SPECTACULAR, VERY FRIENDLY.

08/12/2025: Great breakfast. Good product and good service.

07/12/2025: Although a cocktail place I drank whiskey all night - some great bottles available - Irish of course but Scottish too. A mix of different seating arrangements. We were on a table with a sofa which allowed for relaxed drinking watching the punters go by. Great evening.

06/12/2025: Had a booking for Friday 5th December, booked on the back of family recommendations. Turned up after walking in the rain for a booking at 2.15pm, door was answered and we were told that the staff member was on her own and could not take our booking, no prior warning was given, no call or message so we left. Really disappointing.

24/11/2025: Excellent coffee and efficient service. The staff are young, friendly and have a great taste in music! In the morning the place is bright and offers a lovely place to sit or to just to pick up your coffee and go.

20/11/2025: Delicious falafel wrap. When the sunlight hits the interior it’s magical. Extra point for good music playing in the background :))

14/12/2025: I ordered delivery and quickly scanned the options, accidentally selecting "no bun" (the other option was an extra 50 cents, so I skipped it). Instead, I received two cheddar cheeseburgers wrapped in lettuce leaves. I never would have expected that; I was shocked. I don't even know what that option is for—who would want a burger without a bun? And how can you charge extra for bread? Are you crazy?! Anyway, it was my mistake. Double-check before ordering. The meat tastes good, though the fries could be better. Cheers!

07/12/2025: Excellent meal. Simple offering: burgers and fries. Very tasty. Really friendly service.
