The best restaurants in Dublin

11/12/2024: My favorite pub in Dublin for last 57 years 🏆

10/12/2024: Any time I have been, there has been a great buzz about the place. The last visit, they were understaffed but they coped well. Go for the atmosphere.

19/12/2024: Lovely spot for really good pasta and wine fab too. Staff friendly and in central location.

18/12/2024: Didn't get further than9m inside the door..booked two weeks in advance with open table..which didn't seem to matter ..no table available full of party night tables..every excuse in the book why the didn't have our table ready..the worst restaurant experience ever...

05/12/2024: The staff was very accommodating the food was great and atmosphere excellent. Definitely worth a visit.

27/11/2024: Amazing location and the food was excellent 👌🏻 totally recommend it.

30/11/2024: Fantastic coffee, quick service.

25/11/2024: Absolute disgrace, staff barely spoke English. They had a sign outside saying all day breakfast when I went to order the girl did not understand what I said.. for two tiny breakfasts and two cappuccinos it came out at €40 avoid this place at all costs food was vile to

07/11/2024: A wee gem of a place, lovely staff

02/08/2024: Got this birthday cake. Looked amazing and tasted really delicious!

04/12/2024: First visit here and to be honest it was perfect, nice place, nice food from a selected Sunday menu, busy, staff very friendly, parking reasonable, worth a visit. (Between friends the restaurant could have been a bit warmer.)

29/11/2024: Great food and service but expect to pay at a premium like everywhere else in Dublin and elsewhere in Ireland these days. 🙂‍↕️

11/12/2024: A super pub, catering for lots of crowds. Love it.

28/10/2024: We had a fabulous night in the Cedar tonight Curragh were brilliant. Thanks to all the great staff, Niall , Aidan , Dave & all the wonderful crew!!

11/12/2024: It was my first time trying CBD, took a coffee with CBD and a cookie too. I liked both although since I am not a CBD expert I cannot judge that part! The staff was super nice and they even allowed me to borrow their phone charger because mine wasn’t working very well! Super recommended

10/11/2024: Such a pleasant shop and the flowers are delicious. Only a quick visit bit looking forward to enjoying a coffee there

17/11/2024: La cena familiar del miércoles por la noche - pub muy grande pero inteligentemente diseñado / decorado, así que todavía se siente íntimo. Me imagino estar muy ocupado un viernes/sábado por la noche. Personal atento y servicio de mesa eficiente. Teníamos hamburguesa de ternera, pescado con papas fritas, hamburguesa de pollo y no pudimos resistir el pudín. El pastel de queso de chocolate blanco estaba bien, el brownie era precioso. Lo recomendaría.

15/11/2024: Came here for the 1st time after a recommendation from a Airbnb host(Sharon) place I was staying at. Great recommendation! Staff were nice and attentive, nice and cosy place, had outdoor seating aswell. The food menu was decent and you had the usual dishes you'd find, I went with the steak which came with chips and onion rings and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If I'm in the area again I'll defo be coming here again for a meal

12/12/2024: Great place for a Saturday night …busy but still exciting

07/12/2024: Wednesday 20th November At approximately 11:00 PM, I ordered three pints from the upstairs bar and was served without issue. Around 11:17 PM, well before closing time and last call, I approached the same barman to order another round. Unfortunately, the barman responded by shouting at me, which was unexpected and unsettling.He told me they were closed. I didn't react which is unusual for me. Following this, I went downstairs and was served impeccably by a young gentleman named Rian, who was very helpful. It's a pity the upstairs staff's service did not match the excellent standard set by Rian I understand that staff may face challenges during busy periods, but such interactions can significantly impact the customer experience. I have always enjoyed the atmosphere at The Ferryman, and this incident was out of character with my previous visits. I wanted to bring this to your attention, as I believe in the importance of constructive feedback. I hope this information is helpful and contributes to maintaining the welcoming environment that The Ferryman is known for.

01/12/2024: Tres de nosotros paramos aquí por una pinta de Guinness un jueves por la tarde. Nos sentamos en una mesa abajo, que estaba ocupado con los lugareños, mientras había un tráfico regular de gente más joven que se dirigía arriba. El servicio era amable y la pinta era preciosa.

26/11/2024: Nice pint of Guinness and nice atmosphere ,cosy pub ,friendly barstaff too ,enjoyed a nice couple pints and a jemmy

08/12/2024: Lovely pizza, the dessert of vanilla ice-cream and olive oil was also amazing. Do expect it to be busy! It's a popular place for takeaway as well.

02/12/2024: Have been here many times over the years. First, let me say, they do really great pizza. Unfortunately I feel like I won't get to enjoy it again after a recent experience. I was in a party of 6 and we had just enjoyed some delicious pizzas and some drinks. When the bill arrived, as is sometimes the case when you are part of a group of 6, it appeared there was a 12.5 per cent service charge added to the bill. I have no issue with this. However, rather than being labelled as a service charge, I believe it is labelled "6+". Again, no real issue with this. The problem arose when the waiter dropped down the card terminal. Before paying, there was a prompt on the screen asking if i wanted to add 10%, 15%, etc. As I wasn't 100 per cent sure the additional charge that was printed on the bill was a service charge, I asked the waiter explicitly "can I confirm service is already included on the bill". To my shock, the waiter said that it wasn't. When I pointed out the charge on the bill, the waiter initially said this was a tax. This sounded wroung as it wasn't vat so I asked again and was then told it was a restaurant charge but not a service charge. At this point I was worried there was some miscommunication as what he was saying didn't make sense so I then asked "can I confirm that this charge on the bill isn't paid to staff" at which point he confirmed it wasn't. I found this very strange as the amount on the bill really did appear to be a service charge and was equal to 12.5 %. My initial feeling was one of Ill will toward the restaurant for charging a service charge but not passing it on to the staff. However, when leaving the restaurant we asked another waiter about the charge and they confirmed it was a service charge and was paid to the staff. So effectively, I was served by a waiter who after getting an automatic tip through the service charge, then told a barefaced lie to me and my group to try and get an extra 10 to 15 per cent. This is really, really poor.

27/11/2024: Had a few beers and some small plates, food was very good, great atmosphere

26/11/2024: Lovely place but the new staff should be trained better. I ordered the same cocktail as always because I like sweet but the bartender literally gave me only lime juice with egg white and I got gastritis attack

08/12/2024: We had our work party here yesterday. Such a gorgeous venue. Gina was such a hoot. Really sound and so accomodating. Food was great. Not fancy but wholesome filling and delish. The perfect pairing with the bottomless prosecco. The music and vibe were so perfect, I've already been asked to book again for next year.

07/12/2024: Thank you for the great evening!

17/11/2024: I was tonight in the restaurant to order and collect my food for takeaway. I did order the cannelloni with ricotta and spinach and also pacchero alla Norcina and I have to say…. It’s the best pasta we had in the Island for sure. 1000% recommended

02/11/2024: Delicious pasta and Amazing staff! I'll be back soon, the tiramisù is highly recommended. Grazie mille! :)
