The best restaurants in Dublin

21/11/2025: Proper pints on match day, Guinness and Beamish at 5€50 unbeatable, must go before the Aviva

19/11/2025: Nice beer and atmosphere. Really hoping after a rugby match in the Aviva stadium.

18/10/2025: Loved finding this place and escaping the high-trafficked tourist spots. Great pizza, great drinks, incredible atmosphere, and I playlist I want to duplicate at home. Service was incredible. 6 stars. 😍

18/10/2025: ​I was a walk-in and I found a table that a party who had a reservation hadn't arrived for yet, i waited for about1 hour until i found this table. After 30 minutes late, they arrived and made us leave. In my opinion, if you have a booking at a crowded place and you don't arrive on time, you should lose your spot. Simply, this place is a nightmare.

29/07/2025: Nice atmosphere. Good place for a toastie. Coffee is good

17/07/2025: Nice breakfast and very comfortable surroundings

18/12/2025: Excellent coffee and atmosphere. Love the vibe. Who in their right mind would go to Starbucks when this gem is around the corner?!?

16/12/2025: This is a cafe with a great atmosphere along the Lipi River. While it doesn't offer a river view, you can still enjoy your coffee in comfort. There's a second floor space for light work. However, it's not very spacious, so it's not ideal for long sittings. It's ideal for an hour or two! The banana loaf was delicious!

26/10/2025: Well done to Cris on building such a great business! I contacted him on relatively short notice hoping to get a showstopper of a cake for a big birthday and he completely delivered. The mirror glaze on the cakes looks stunning. I was worried that the cake might look better than it tastes but I can vouch that the blueberry/vanilla tastes delicious. The flavours were brilliantly balanced and it was nice and light too. I look forward to an excuse to come back and try another. Fair play to him for being so responsive on WhatsApp too.

11/10/2025: Amazing cake, I got the Blueberry & vanilla cake, delicious and divine had this cake for my siblings birthday, they were satisfied, (I know on the photo it looks a bit smudged but that was me) amazing 10/10, would recommend 100% and would definitely order again ❤️

15/12/2025: Delicious pizza, very friendly service, short wait times, and a cozy interior. I highly recommend it!

12/12/2025: I had a very nice experience here. The pizza prices are beyond reasonable, cheaper than any other good wood fired pizza place in the city. The pizza I had was delicious, lovely pizza base and good quality toppings. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere and decor were comfortable and relaxing. Reasonable selection of very fairly priced alcohol as well. I can see this become a regular place I will be visiting.

06/12/2025: Party of four for dinner. Limited gluten free options. Service was slow but they were very busy to be fair. A side salad was just a bowl of lettuce, which seemed poor. Overall, some meals were good, but slightly over priced. 10% service charge was added by default, which is bad form for a small table. Wouldn't go again. Pleasant atmosphere and a good view though.

14/11/2025: Fantastic experience this weekend for a special birthday celebration lunch. Virginia and the entire team at Oliveto and The Parlour, were outstanding. Nothing like a warm welcome and personal service as well as fabulous food, beautiful surroundings and a venue with style. We are very grateful to Virginia and the team for their upbeat, professional engagement and service. Our drinks and bar snacks afterwards at the Parlour with some additional guests, were also superb and enjoyed by all. A big thank you! We will be back!

15/12/2025: Everything was ... The food... Howth... Their behaviour... Paradise

11/12/2025: A tiny fish and seafood restaurant. The service was very friendly and charming. We were lucky enough to get in, as it was a quiet Wednesday. The fish and chips were excellent, perfectly battered and not greasy at all. The calamari and mussels are highly recommended. We also tried the oysters for €3, which were delicious. Without a doubt, an authentic place with reasonable prices and excellent quality.

08/10/2025: Lovely food, reasonable prices, kind staff

17/07/2025: Tasty enough and good service! Will go there again!

16/11/2025: Excellent service, I loved the way they treated me and the pizza was great, thank you. Very good job, thanks! 👍🏼

15/11/2025: I highly recommend ordering or eating from this place✌️🙌 Best Apache pizza in Dublin. Ordered straight twice this week from their app. The pizzas are the best and they are really very tasty, never had such quality pizzas in any different branch. I would rate 10. The staff is really nice in communicating. Delivery is very quickest without any hassle. Will continue ordering from ya’ll. Good job to the team maintaining this kind of service☺️. Items bought were: Apache dynamite and hot Apache. Jalapeños side.

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!

04/10/2025: The place is beautiful, cosy and peaceful. The staff are all very kind and attentive. And the food is incredible!

02/10/2025: Such a cozy place, with tasty food and even better service! Felipe was lovely and picked out some delicious treats for me.

26/10/2025: A bit overprized but really good!!! There is much room for emprovement with the system. For what you pay you should not be cueing for minutes and ordering at a counter

26/10/2025: Some of the best pastries ive ever tasty, and the fry up was delicious too probably the best place we ate in dublin, the quality was outstanding but expect to queue as this place gets very busy

16/11/2025: Lovely place nice crowd nice pint

15/11/2025: €130 for a platter I thought they made a mistake, to which the manager said “it used to be €95, but that wasn’t profitable, so it’s €130 now. That’s €13 per person and feeds 10” Very disappointing

19/11/2025: Excellent place for a pint and food. The Indian restaurant is exceptional

16/11/2025: This was the most terrible food I had in Dublin in 3 years here. Extremely hot with peppers without advertisement. And zero vegan options. It was impossible to eat it. I would never come here again.
