The best restaurants in Dublin

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.

22/08/2025: We ordered a strawberry matcha and asked to make it a latte (so, a strawberry matcha latte). The staff member misunderstood and gave us a strawberry matcha and a regular latte instead. When we explained, they said “matcha is always a latte,” which was not correct. To be fair, we did get the correct strawberry matcha in the end and were allowed to leave the regular latte behind. However, the way the staff handled the situation was disappointing. The server made unfriendly faces with another customer while preparing our drinks, and when it came time to pay, they didn’t even look at us. After we paid, they quickly turned away without any acknowledgment. In our opinion, making faces at customers and ignoring them is not professional service. We won’t be coming back, and we hope other visitors are aware of this before choosing the place.

27/12/2024: I had a delicious tofu and veg ramen here 2 months ago I told lots of people how good the food was so decided to get a take away for the whole family as a Christmas treat this evening. Unfortunately instead of the delicious ramen I got a bowl of boiled speghetti, bean sprouts and sauce. The spaghetti ended up in the bin. Himself had the chow mein which had no sauce. Such a shame, won't be going back. The free chicken wings were lovely though

14/12/2024: FOOD WAS DELICIOUS . I WILL COME BACK AGAIN.

02/09/2024: Absolutely the worst Subway I have been to and that's saying something. Never have the ingredients to complete a sandwich not even basic salad ??

17/09/2024: Only popped in to get a muffin but it was delish, staff extremely friendly too! Looking forward to coming back to try their other options :)
