The best restaurants in Dublin

01/09/2023: Not open yet. Opening in few weeks....

07/03/2026: Went with my parents and wife recently enough and honestly, it was probably the worst culinary experience I've ever had the displeasure of enduring. Service was slow, 20ish minutes and multiple requests for drinks, and don't even get me started on the food. I ordered the buffalo chicken wings, pretty difficult to mess up, or so I thought. The wings arrived grey, clearly recently unfrozen (likely in a microwave) with a meagre splattering of bland "buffalo" sauce in the bowl with them. I've never had sauceless wings in a restaurant before, but there simply wasn't enough sauce to cover even half of the miserable batch. The chickens that died for this meal sacrificed their lives in vain. Oh, and they were 20+ euro

29/10/2025: A very pleasant restaurant with classic décor and professional service. Plenty of space and nooks and crannies, so you can feel intimate and at ease. The food is quite diverse, so everyone should find something to suit their taste. It's worth asking the staff what you specifically need and asking for advice. I recommend it.

08/07/2024: The food is super delicious and reasonably priced.

29/06/2024: Very good value. Ordered a durum mix menu. Chef was ok with making it into a wrap. Nicely sliced and even gave some vinegar for chips. Can highly recommend. Good friendly service and super tasty kebab

06/09/2025: Stopped here on my way to the bus station, I ordered a “Matcha Latte” which just tasted like milk and barely had any colour to it. Also ordered a sandwich which was €8.95. Dry and completely flavourless. Waste of almost €15 :((

29/08/2025: Delicious coffee & lovely staff

27/02/2024: Please come back to Dun Laoghaire, the street food truck down at the pavilion was my go to, the masa chicken burritos are top notch! I also visited the pawn shop last year for my birthday for delicious fish and chicken tacos, please tell me you are coming back in some form or another!

28/12/2023: Restaurant is closed permanently but still accepting bookings.

21/11/2023: Overpriced with zero atmosphere

15/08/2023: Visited for a quick drink whilst in the Temple Bar area. Good vibe.

20/01/2025: Delicious Asian food, professional service.

22/10/2024: The worst Italian meal I’ve ever had in my life! We received our meals 5 minutes apart from one another. The aubergine parmigiana was likely microwaved as it was still cold with just a melted cheese top. The pasta sauce was like a watered down chicken stock and the pizza was worse than a freezer version. With so many nice options in the area such as olivetto, belli dentro and dolce italia, I can’t understand how they’re still open!

05/10/2024: We happened to be in the area a Friday night to our surprised we managed to get a table for 4, the place was empty. Kids ordered carbonara and it tasted like no other carbonara we ever tasted before, no flavored whatsoever and was so dull kids wouldn't even touch it. My husband ordered a sausage ragu pasta and was chewie I was the only that kinda enjoyed my meal, I had the Tiger prawn risotto. The starters were so overpriced for what we got it was ridiculous to see the size of the brushetta. After all the disaster waiter came and took plates without even asking how was the food, maybe she is used to collecting full plates .... as no one will enjoy their food. If you are looking to over spend on crappy food this is your place but if you are like me ...enjoy good Italian food don't go there.

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.

11/11/2025: I went to this café today and ordered a small mocha. While chatting with my colleague, another staff member (different from the one who took my order) called out “your mocha,” so I naturally went up and took it. A few moments later, the person who originally took my order came up to me and started speaking to me quite loudly, accusing me of taking a medium mocha instead. I tried to explain that I just took the drink when their colleague handed it out, but she continued to speak in an unpleasant tone and gave me angry looks — right in front of my colleague and her staff. I found that very unprofessional and unnecessary, especially since the difference was only €1 and it wasn’t even a mocha — it turned out to be a cappuccino. I wasn’t bothered about getting the wrong drink, mistakes happen, but the way the situation was handled and the attitude shown were completely unjustified. A little more courtesy and understanding would have gone a long way

29/07/2025: Costa pulse at ucd have my heart, they have the best staff always there to serve you. I was a student here and everytime i used to enter the cafeteria they remembered my regular order and with a bright smile they served me. Thanks to the entire team for making my time in UCD great. Kudos. The small mocha will be missed.

02/07/2025: Amazing location in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains. Located at The GAP. Excellent food. I will be back. Highly recommended 🙏
