The best restaurants in Dublin

20/04/2025: We walked into the pub with a large group and were greeted by a barman upstairs who was rude immediatly. After telling him we're here for food and drinks he asked us in a rude tone why we didn't even think about reserving a table. After telling him that I know most pubs don't take reservations he told me "absolutely they do" which is just false, and he then told us that he finds it rude that we walk in with such a large group without reserving and that he's gonna charge us 15% extra, just for the group size. I also told him that we can split up on multiple tables to which he rudely replied again "absolutely you will". It would've been fine if he just told us that we're too many people for food or whatever, but it was the extremely rude demeanor that bothered me. Overall, I'm extremely disappointed since I've been here twice before and never had a bad encounter. However, this completely ruins the pub for me and I definitely won't be going there anymore. I don't know if the barman was just racist or if he just didn't want to work. Oh well, I guess pubs like that make so much money that they don't need the business anymore.

19/04/2025: Bar staff we encountered were great. The food was okay. I will go there again.

24/05/2025: Super delicious food, very good value for the portions served. We were a group of 6 people and the total was €73. A little out of the way from the center, but we had the small one before going to the Guinness experience, and it was well worth it.

11/05/2025: Great breakfast. Will fill you for the day. My go to for breakfast from now on. Highly recommend 👌

21/04/2025: I’ve ordered desserts from Caketopia three times already, and each time they’ve exceeded all my expectations! These aren’t just sweets — they’re true works of art. The taste is incredible, the presentation is flawless, and the attention to detail is simply amazing. Every dessert is a beautiful experience, both visually and flavor-wise. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates quality, aesthetics, and truly delicious treats!

31/03/2025: Absolutely delicious heart cake! Will be sure to return!

17/05/2025: Excellent food and Atmosphere. Always very enjoyable with attentive Staff..

16/05/2025: Absolutely delicious food with friendly service

27/05/2025: Really friendly staff, went above and beyond, would highly recommend!

26/05/2025: The best typical Irish breakfast in all of Dublin. It's worth the queue. Non-industrial and excellent sweets, nice staff. I really recommend going.

27/05/2025: hidden gem in Dublin. baked goods and coffee are delicious and great value for money. friendly and fast service. definitely recommend.

26/05/2025: Not only do they serve delicious pastries here, but they also serve superb coffee. The display of pastries looks beautiful, and we couldn't decide. The bagel bun with scallions and cream cheese is highly recommended. You can take away coffee and pastries directly from the window or enjoy them at the tables inside.

17/05/2025: Very good food from a pretty standard menu with the usual calamari, burgers, steaks and pizza. It was all very good and the steak was excellent - and service first class for our large group

14/05/2025: Encontramos este lugar por casualidad mientras visitaba el año pasado y así que disfrutamos de la comida que tuvimos para el almuerzo que volvimos un par de días después para la cena. En esta visita vinimos a almorzar después de haber dejado nuestras maletas en nuestro hotel - tuve la tortilla / guanac / salsa / plato de crema agria que siempre disfruto, marido tenía una hamburguesa - ambos platos deliciosos. Nos atendió Dan, un caballero encantador que proporcionó un excelente servicio y tuvimos una agradable charla. Regresó el sábado, cuando estaba muy ocupado, y cuando Dan se acercó a nuestra mesa nos dijimos hola y que habíamos dicho que volveríamos - se acordó de nosotros y nos proporcionó el mismo excelente servicio que antes, y se detuvo a charlar cuando pudo, dado el flujo constante de comensales yendo y viniendo. Comí una pizza pequeña - espinacas, feta, mozzarella y aceitunas - divina, y me comí todo, que es muy diferente a mí; el marido tenía espinacas, patata nueva, mozzarella y calzone de cebolla caramelizada, que disfrutó mucho. La masa en ambos platos era lo más delgada posible, y súper ligera, prácticamente se derritió en la boca. Sorprendentemente, ambos comimos postre - él tenía brownie de frambuesa y chocolate con helado de vainilla, yo tenía pastel de limón y queso de vainilla estilo Nueva York con coulis de frambuesa - ambos totalmente deliciosos, sorprendentemente ligeros y casi lamemos nuestros platos! Tuvimos una encantadora charla final con Dan cuando nos íbamos y le deseamos lo mejor con sus futuros esfuerzos. Este lugar es muy recomendable, siempre volveremos cuando estemos aquí, y voy a visitar de nuevo en octubre, así que sin duda volveré. ¡Gracias a todos aquí, todos ustedes son maravillosos!

21/05/2025: Unreal Food, lovely staff, you can sit in too.

15/05/2025: I miss my Burritos from Ferg and the team. Best you can get!

24/05/2025: Great bar in the centre good value too.

26/04/2025: Never had a bad pint or time in Chaplains.

04/05/2025: Enjoyed authentic food and atmosphere. Will have to go back for the ceviche. And loved the desert too!

02/05/2025: Amazing food, amazing service, would come again!

27/05/2025: Trendy, bit expensive, very crowded.

26/05/2025: This cafe is a must visit for cozy brunch lovers! It is conveniently located near Phoenix park making it a to go spot for park visitors. We tried their toasties which were both amazing and very filling along with their blueberry macha. Personally felt the customer service could have been better. But apart from that this place is going to my constant. Highly recommend!

28/05/2025: Cozy pub with a large beer selection

25/05/2025: Just a lazy Sunday with the locals. Amazing experience with the Hurling match with Cork and Waterford. Definitely a cosy place to chill.

26/05/2025: Amazing bistro next to the Jameson distillery! We were in Ireland for a week and this was our best meal. We had the Brie appetizer and the lamb chops and duck for mains. Staff is also very friendly and attentive.

22/05/2025: We had pizza and pasta and wine for … delicious food and great service. Very satisfied / thanks from 🇸🇪

21/05/2025: A small but very cozy place. The service is impeccable and friendly, and they even speak Spanish. Delicious, traditional dishes. It's usually busy, but not as busy as other places downtown, and it has a high turnover. One of the best value I've tried in Dublin.

16/05/2025: Great place! The staff is super nice and the food is good and affordable 😉

20/05/2025: Dalla mia ultima visita oltre 10 anni fa, Panem è raddoppiato in estensione. Il personale è sempre molto accomodante, i prodotti sono sempre molto buoni e fatti in casa, la caffetteria probabilmente è la migliore della città. Molto ben collocato, prezzi modesti.

15/05/2025: The best breakfast we had in Dublin, so much so we did it again and again.
