The best restaurants in Dublin

23/11/2025: Exceptional, away from the city center and tourist traps. Ramen and nuggets are a 10/10.

17/11/2025: Food was lovely and good service.

14/12/2025: Good food, tasty, nice atmosphere. This is my 3rd time there and I will go again.

07/12/2025: I’m a visitor from Canada, and everytime I’ve been here it’s a little surprise. Food is good, and the young man running it is great. Try it! It’s a little gem and a taste of home you’ll want to go back to

22/11/2025: My kinda place for sure..... small restaurant, warm environment,friendly staff, great food. I had the mixed grill and it was super delish. Go there!

10/11/2025: Excellent food. Fantastic chef. Loved the place - went there a few times.

03/11/2025: We had the Chef’s Menu at Craft and it was absolutely outstanding – incredible value at €39 for the quality and amount of food. You get to taste everything, and honestly, we couldn’t pick a favourite starter because they were all so good. We had the pork chop main - so good and as always the roast potatoes were unreal! From the brown bread right through to dessert, every dish was delicious. We’re so lucky to have this place in Harold’s Cross – can’t recommend it enough! The service deserves a mention too - really lovely atmosphere. Well done to all at Craft. We will be back soon.

11/10/2025: Plates full of flavour. Thanks you for lovely evening

20/12/2025: Was here for the 1st time today. A whole new experience. One i will never forget. The food is absolutely gorgeous. Service delightful and not to pricey either. Would highly recommend it.

02/12/2025: Had a lovely evening here about 2 weeks ago. Was a great experience encourage to eat the Ethiopian dish with your hands. The dessert and coffee served were also delish

29/11/2025: Lovely place. Everything we tried was delicious.

23/11/2025: The alfajores were delicious!!! I'll be back 🫶🏻

23/11/2025: Visited in late September on a very quiet night – only 4–5 tables and around 3 servers on the floor. Service was extremely slow and unorganised. Our starters arrived before our drinks, and despite trying several times to get a server’s attention, no one approached us until after we had finished eating and I had to remind them we were still waiting on drinks. The mains came shortly after. The lobster was slightly overcooked but still enjoyable, and the steaks were cooked well. However, we then sat there for around 30 minutes with empty plates and glasses, again repeatedly trying to get a server’s attention. Eventually, we gave up and just decided to leave. To make matters worse, we were charged an automatic 10% service charge which was never mentioned on the menu or in the booking confirmation. To be fair, whenever a server did actually interact with us, they were very friendly. I didn’t leave a review at the time, but I did give feedback after they emailed asking for it. The response I received was basically: “Please try again.” Honestly, I wouldn’t risk spending €200 again just to hope it’s better next time. I’m only leaving this review now because I’m tired of getting emails every few weeks telling me to book again!! Tl;dr ? Meh

19/11/2025: Came just for the duck wings, they where as good as they sounded! Sweet, spicy, tangy and tender!

04/12/2025: Great customer service from Luke, very polite

04/12/2025: Lovely spot to eat, huge range of Gluten free options, very comprehensive Allergen menu available. Luke was a fantastic server very polite and pleasant to deal with. 100% recommend

14/12/2025: A quiet place to grab something good, cheap and quick when you are on a walk

10/12/2025: One positive is that the self-ordering machine clearly shows the calories, which is helpful. However, the rice was only warm and tasted a bit old even though there was an extra charge, and the dish didn’t have much protein. The staff also placed the food on the counter without making sure I heard the call, so if you sit at the back you might not realise your order is ready. Overall, I was very dissatisfied with the service considering the price.

01/11/2025: We had such an amazing dinner tonight in Ragazzi's. It was my sons 20th birthday and they made it so special for him. Even cooked him his favourite carbonara dish with pig cheek that wasn't even on the menu. The staff were so friendly, attentive and good humoured. The food... wow. The five of us had different dishes and each one was amazing. Thank you so much and we will definitely be back

16/10/2025: Unbelievable food. Only downside was that you can’t lick the plate!!

23/11/2025: Great place for music and atmosphere. The food is amazing especially the oysters. Can't go to Dublin without visiting the Temple Bar

22/11/2025: Nice and clean pub! Unfortunately (like many pubs in Temple Bar) it's completely overpriced. (€11 for an Irish Coffee 🙈).

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 😊

27/11/2025: We got takeaway there, it was delicious, and the service was very friendly. You can order online. Update: dining in is just as good! The place is pleasant, service is great, and the food is excellent. It's usually busy, make sure you book ahead. The whole menu is good, not just the sushi and ramen!

24/11/2025: Best ramen in town, very good sushi as well - chill place and super quick service

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.

05/08/2025: I got the chocolate hazelnut bun and it was delicious. There isn't much space to sit in but well worth a visit.

30/07/2025: Fable Bakery in Dublin is a pleasant little spot, though not exactly a hidden gem. Their baked goods are decent—fresh and enjoyable, but not particularly memorable. The coffee was fine, not standout. The staff were kind and the setting cozy, though service could be a bit quicker. It’s worth dropping by if you're nearby, but maybe not worth a long detour. All in all, a good experience, just not one that’ll knock your socks off.
