The best restaurants in Dublin

19/06/2025: I had a deeply disappointing experience at this Subway location. Staff were treated unfairly and spoken to in a disrespectful manner. In particular, I witnessed employees being verbally mistreated and racially stereotyped, including offensive comments towards Indian staff. Additionally, I observed unsanitary food handling, including reusing bread that had already been served to other customers. These practices raise serious concerns about both workplace ethics and food safety standards. I hope Subway headquarters seriously reviews the conduct of this franchise and protects both customers and employees.

09/06/2025: Closed early. Sign on door says 9 arrived at 8:15 and turned away.

12/05/2025: This coffee shop is all function, no flavour—at least when it comes to atmosphere. The interior feels like a stripped-down fast food chain: sterile lighting, plastic finishes, and absolutely no warmth or personality. It’s surprising for a location like Dundrum, where you’d expect more thought, more style, more anything. The food? Let’s say it won’t stir your senses. Pre-made, reheated sandwiches sit behind the counter, each one a clone of the next—dense, doughy bread packed with hearty but uninspired fillings. My sandwich was substantial enough to keep hunger at bay, but it lacked the flavour, texture or freshness that would make it memorable. A glass of wine or soft drink is on offer too, but it feels oddly out of place in such a rushed, cafeteria-like setting. This spot works fine as a pit stop if you’re killing time before a movie. But with the prices on the higher end and the experience so forgettable, it’s hard to justify a return visit. The lack of English-speaking staff made the ordering process more difficult than it needed to be, adding to the sense that this place isn’t really trying. All in all: filling, but not fulfilling.

04/09/2025: Subway is nice , I got the Philly beef on Honey Oat bread with southwest sauce with peppers, onions and jalepenos . It was actually nicer than I thought it was going to be . 7.8/10.. €10 for a roll because I got spicy and normal cheese(8slices)

17/08/2025: Unable to accept order. Then why are you on Deliveroo?

17/07/2025: Absolutely disgraceful customer service from the foreign woman behind the counter this evening. I arrived at 19:15, well before their advertised closing time of 20:00, only to be met with a shockingly rude attitude. When I asked if there was a menu, she didn’t even bother to speak and simply pointed behind her. Completely dismissive and unprofessional behaviour toward a customer. I went over to the kiosk just to read the menu more clearly, and staff started shouting at me that the machine could not be used. I explained that I was only reading the menu from the screen and not trying to order from it, but they showed no courtesy or patience whatsoever. A few minutes later, when we went to place our order, we were told the ovens had been turned off and they wouldn’t be taking any more orders. This was 45 minutes before closing time. Why wasn’t this mentioned the moment I walked in? Either the staff deliberately didn’t want to serve us, or they simply couldn’t be bothered to do their jobs. I asked another man working in the Spar section of the shop why orders weren’t being taken. He said I couldn’t order from the machine. I explained again that I wasn’t trying to order from the machine but from the counter, as instructed, yet they were still refusing to take orders. He then said that the woman was “probably tired.” What kind of response is that? I’m confused… are you closing early or simply too tired to serve customers? English isn’t his first language, so I understand there may have been some confusion, as he kept insisting I could still order at the counter. I tried explaining that this wasn’t possible because the staff had already refused to serve us. The two women behind the counter were clearly more interested in chatting about us than helping us. Their overall attitude was rude, unprofessional, and completely lacking in basic customer service skills. Judging by other reviews, this isn’t an isolated incident but a recurring problem. Management seriously needs to address this staff behaviour if they care at all about their reputation. Avoid this place unless you enjoy being treated like an inconvenience.

15/06/2025: A very rude blonde foreign lady, they had placed food ready on the counter and by mistake I took the wrong order even though i was the only one in the shop.. then she was giving out to me... not acceptable , I've spent 47euros on my order giving them business and the service i got was not acceptable ..

17/08/2025: Would like to update my previous review since I was here again recently. I always think you cant judge on first impressions, but NO still avoid at all costs, no matter how drunk you are, you just do not want to eat here, I would almost recommend people to come here so they know never to go again. Just go home and slap some freezer food in the microwave, its the same thing. There is fast food then there is 30 seconds after you order fast food. Not sure what cheap meat they use but everything just tastes like eating water. I guess their peak times are early in the morning when young drunk people want food, but it's gonna make your hangover much worse 🚽

15/08/2025: Don’t mind the 1 star reviews, the food is great and guys are really friendly and do as much as they can while dealing with people after night out, place is in one of the busiest area in Dublin, several pubs and massive night club few meters away. Been going there for years, food is solid, portions are good size, best taco fries in Dublin!

23/04/2025: staff were lovely except for woman with grey and black hair, very rude and aggressive. I feel sorry for anyone who has to work with her, will not be coming back.

19/03/2025: Felt super outnof place coming here, took a trip out with the family for business, stumbled upon this little place, no one greated me and my wife and boys. Didn't seem to want to help us. Thanked them after i paid and not even a thank you back. Pathetic service worst money spent here in a super aukward atmosphere.. Wont be returning...

30/07/2025: I have been in that Starbucks coffee shop inside of the Dublin Zoo and they didn’t accept the Starbuck’s card which is been accepted everywhere I mean in ALL STARBUCKS around the WORLD. So, be advised about this.

24/07/2025: Advert vs reality.. What a shame!!! No fruit, no flavour!! Absolutely waste of money!! Avoid this place

17/08/2025: Very rude lazy staff . Kept getting wrong . Treated customers with contempt

14/08/2025: Always says they're out of various ingredients

10/08/2025: There’s an Asian girl working there, and whenever I see her, there’s no coffee, no service even if it’s 1–2 hours before closing. She’s so irritating that if I spot her, I just go to Nero instead.

09/08/2025: The coffee pastry was more like a dense patty or sandwich — not fresh, with a hard texture. Disappointing, and I won’t be returning

27/05/2025: This place is closed don't use . they taken my money from the bank . website shows like is normal open but that not true

03/05/2025: I placed an order for collection at 18:53 but didn’t receive it until 19:20. By then, my original items were unavailable, and I had to accept substitutes. There’s no seating available on the premises, so I had to stand awkwardly in front of the reception, facing SuperValu shoppers. Unfortunately, the food itself was not impressive either. Overall, a disappointing experience.

08/08/2025: The woman that I'm assuming is the manager is the rudest woman I've ever encountered. This has been noticed while visiting on many occasions

03/04/2025: I ordered a toasted cheese sandwich on wholegrain and a smoothie with a scoop of protein powder. The total cost was just under €14. The manager (I think) came across very rude and not for the first time. This was the amount of cheese in the toastie. I may as well have ordered dry toast. The smoothie was okay but no where near good enough to rescue this €14 meal.
