The best restaurants in Dublin

28/12/2025: Visiting from Seattle and found this gem on our way to Galway. Ingredients were fresh and delicious. Would 💯 recommend!

20/12/2025: the staff, food, drinks and atmosphere are so good! we loved the soup, the oriental bowl and homemade chai...

03/11/2025: Service was great eza was so friendly...coffee is unbelievable and porridge oats were tasty too...would highly recommend this coffee shop...thank-you guys

30/10/2025: Love those coffee! Snacks! Atmosphere! ❤️

24/05/2026: An absolute delight!!! I adore Lebanese food and this place was up there with the best of them. Every dish, from the bread to the dips to the dessert, was handmade with love. Some of the crispiest and most tender shawarma and sumac chicken that I have had. We ordered probably 5 dishes in total, both cold and hot, and were pleased with every one of them. Special shout out to the waitress Nomin for recommending the hummus and the flavorful stuffed eggplant. Everything she told us to get was indeed delicious! 🤤

18/05/2026: Except for the food taking 45 mins to arrive, everything else was quite amazing

14/06/2026: The reservation was easy to make and the confirmation was clear. The entrance was super cute, the location chic and even the air unit is disguised. The drinks and food did not disappoint! Best meal while in Ireland!

07/06/2026: Amazing service, delicious food and great cocktail recommendations, would recommend 100 percent!

02/12/2025: Good service by Ashna and also the food was good . We tried chattichore and mandi , its met our expectation👍

28/11/2025: Food and service was excellent 👌 We were late to book so it was pretty empty but can imagine that with more people it would be buzzing.

19/11/2025: I had a great experience at Jay Kays Café. The food was excellent—everything I tried was delicious, from the French toast and avocado toast to the eggs Benedict with pulled beef sandwich. The hot chocolate was also wonderful and comforting. The only thing that didn’t quite suit my taste was the Irish coffee, which was a bit too strong for me, but that comes down to personal preference more than anything else. The café has a lovely ambience as well, making it a pleasant spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and would happily return to try more from their menu.

18/11/2025: The service was insanely fast. The food delicious. Highly recommended!

05/11/2025: I visited Chequer Lane by Jamie Oliver in Dublin for dinner, and the food was superb and amongst the best that I had during my time in the city. While there wasn't a dedicated gluten-free menu provided, my server talked me through the options and all the staff members had great knowledge of what I could and couldn't eat, I opted for the steak, which was served with a fresh garlic butter, the steak was delicious, had so much flavour and was cooked perfectly, and didn't even need any extra sauce, the fries again were so good, they were fresh, tasty and all the flavours had delivered. My only disappointment was in my cocktail - it was overloaded with ice and was almost like a slush. The other members of my party were also pleased with their food. The vibes inside the restaurant were really nice too - it felt premium yet with a modern twist so it didn't feel pretentious and you wouldn't feel out of place coming in after spending the day sightseeing around Dublin, it was that perfect combination. I'd return to Dublin alone for that steak!

04/11/2025: Excellent dinner. Burger. Beef tortellini. Old fashioned. Delicious!

15/05/2026: Nice location adjacent to a large and peaceful park, walking distance to many restaurants, shops, and businesses. In my stay for a week, it was mostly quiet except for a commotion involving hotel staff loudly conversing right outside my door one night. The room was fine, until I happened to take a bath the last day of my stay. The bathwater was BROWN. Checking the sink, it was too. Not brown enough to notice in a glass, but my goodness, I'd been drinking that all week. Hotel staff that night said it just happens sometimes and is safe. Hotel staff the next morning said it was due to construction work, and the plumbers thought it might happen but didn't know where or when. Breakfast was pretty good. Staff was also pretty good.

10/05/2026: Stayed here on 15–16 April 2026. Recommend!!!

28/09/2025: Very pleasant atmosphere, great service, and good food. For such an iconic place, it's not overly expensive compared to other places in Dublin.

28/09/2025: Stopped in for a pint and to hang a FD patch. Staff were great and made me take a selfie with it.

23/05/2026: Amazing food, simple but served creatively. Ingredients tasty and fresh. Service excellent. Atmosphere is cozy and hip.

21/05/2026: Love it here!! Come with our kids all the time (they also love it here) and they do kids’ size pizzas. While I do love the pizzas, recently I find myself ordering the fish tacos every visit now, they’re so good! And really remind me of the fish tacos in San Diego! The chilled, relaxed atmosphere and great music make it the perfect spot to go with friends or family. Staff are always attentive and friendly. The revolution is a brilliant local gem in Rathgar! Have also done the bottomless lunch and it was brilliant. Great value (bottomless mimosas €22), great fun and a fab way to spend an afternoon. Highly recommend!

19/05/2026: Great food. Fast and friendly service. Photo is of the donar kebab with rice that was outstanding. Large portion. Menu has many other options to try.

08/05/2026: DO NOT COME HERE!! I ordered a shrimp curry dish and what came back was HORRIFYING! I seen black hairs in my shrimp and it looks like the chefs pubes! DO NOT COME HERE!! Staff was insulting and rude and kept scratching their bottoms! No wonder I have food poisoning now! Don’t come here if I could I’d rate it a 0/10 shame on you Nageh

13/06/2026: Amazing food, the service was great. I will come again soon.

13/06/2026: Denise was absolutely fantastic and the food was of A* quality

09/04/2026: The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly, worthy to mention Vanesa, who was very kind and attentive with our little one.

23/03/2026: Very cosy and welcoming place with a lovely atmosphere. Our server, Oleksandr, was fantastic—friendly, approachable, and made us feel really comfortable. The kids’ menu had lots of great options, which was a big plus. The mini burger was a little on the dry side and one dish was slightly overcooked, but nothing major—everyone was hungry and still enjoyed their meals. Overall, a pleasant experience and we had a nice time 😊

17/05/2026: Everyone should come here after a badminton tournament - easy to park, very tasty delicious dumplings & sushi and ramen. Juicy home made dumplings pair very well with starter kimchi and seaweed, I’d try the fried noodles and other chef specials next time. Definitely order the salmon sashimi caviar and fried tofu wrapped sushi, very umamious, a blend of flavour and texture pleasing the tastebuds a lot. My friend had her ramen and it’s a feast!

16/05/2026: The food was amazing and the workers are super nice☺️ we’ll definetely be back again!

15/04/2026: Went in Friday last for a meal and pint with my family, great vibe and fantastic normal service. Nothing over the top like the crazy fancy restaurants, just what we wanted. No messing. Great food. Gorgeous Guinness and couldn't want more. Definitely recommend

28/03/2026: Pretty pricey and the quality of the food wasn't great. But still okay and the atmosphere was good.
