The best restaurants in Dublin

10/01/2026: The staff are pleasant. Great coffee and buns. There is a second floor with Wi-Fi. The place has a great atmosphere: there is an old sewing machine in the window display, and barrels of coffee nearby.

23/12/2025: I’m a bit of a coffee nerd and this place is a 10. Great coffee

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.

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. 😍

12/12/2025: Great spot to meet up before a big night ahead, creamy pints & finger bites for shtarters 😋

10/12/2025: Is an amazing place if you’re into trying beers you can’t find anywhere else. What makes it special is definitely the experimental taps, limited editions and creative twists that change often. It’s the kind of place where you go for the experience, not just a pint. I loved being able to taste different styles side by side and see how Guinness plays with flavors, hops, and brewing techniques beyond the classic stout. Some were bold, some subtle, but all super interesting. It really feels like you’re getting a glimpse into the brewery’s “lab.” The space itself is welcoming, the staff know their stuff, and they’re great at explaining each beer and what makes it unique.

16/11/2025: Good music, good service, good coffee, and good food. Not a single complaint.

06/11/2025: Amazing café with great atmosphere! I absolutely love this place! The coffee is always fresh and delicious, and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing — perfect for studying, meeting friends, or just enjoying a quiet moment. They also have a nice selection of pastries and sandwiches, all made with great quality. You can really tell they care about what they do. Definitely one of the best cafés in Dublin — highly recommended!

10/11/2025: Very tasty and nicely spiced Indian cuisine with a great service.

08/11/2025: My husband and I love the food at Spice Aroma; the portions are always very generous, and the seasoning is always wonderful. This is our third time here, it's a welcoming place.

30/01/2026: Had the beef and Guinness pie in CHQ - while tasty there was very little beef. Pie was bulked out with baby potatoes and carrots which you only discovered when digging into the crust. Disappointed

03/01/2026: The brunch spot is very well located, and the staff are pleasant. The sandwiches are very basic, made with simple white bread; the brioches are good, but it's still a bit expensive for the portion sizes.

02/02/2026: Classy pub, with the traditional storefront, hardware and perfume bottles that used to be for sale. "Just going to the hardware store to buy a couple of nails and an Eau de Cologne", that old tradition. Heineken 0.0 on tap, that's pretty rare, and cool.

23/12/2025: Mayne's is a perfect local pub, and I loved going there during the six months that I lived in Donnybrook. It was a shame that they had to close the kitchen at the end of the summer, but it was necessary given that it was losing money. Most importantly, I was relieved that the pub has stayed open and continues to be an anchor of the neighborhood, with great pints and a very low-key atmosphere, as well as comfortable seating. The staff -- Alan, Fiona, Rodrigo, and Maria -- are friendly and extremely good at their jobs. They always made me feel welcome, and I'll miss going in for my usual.

29/11/2025: Excellent food. First class service. Good atmosphere. I will be back Went again tonight As good as the last time It's still worth a visit

14/11/2025: Tofu Bento was amazing. There are few veggie options, but the ones they have are pretty good.

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.

24/01/2026: Just finished our dinner in here with my friends tonight. I decided to try their beef teriyaki served with vegetables and rice. I have to say, I made a great choice for dinner. The steak was cooked to my preference—rare to medium—and it was absolutely delicious: very tender and nicely seasoned. I can put it into one word: excellent. Thanks to all the staff on the floor and all the chefs. We had a great time at your place. Highly recommend!

03/01/2026: Great food and friendly service. Had a good experience here

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

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!

31/12/2025: Realy good and really friendly staff. Out of three f&c that i have tasted during Dublin visit here was the best

09/12/2025: It's easily the best cafe in Dublin. The cakes and coffee are exception, and the staff have so much character much like the venue itself.

07/12/2025: Tasty and nice 😊 Coffee on a Sunday morning tastes really good in such places 😊
