The best restaurants in Dublin

31/07/2025: The food is very Italian It's like being in Italy Just like the nonna used to Don't put garlic in the bruschetta Side salads not welcome Only the freshest of tomatoes from the old country

25/07/2025: Avendo deciso di fare un giro a Dún Laoghaire, abbiamo scelto di provare un ristorante dove non eravamo mai stati, senza avere neanche troppe aspettative e siamo rimasti davvero soddisfatti e piacevolmente sorpresi da La Dolce Italia, posto che ci è rimasto subito nel cuore e che è indubbiamente uno dei migliori ristoranti Italiani mai provati in Irlanda. Il locale è piccolo ma ben organizzato e risulta essere piuttosto accogliente, l’atmosfera è molto da pranzo in famiglia e la gentilezza e l’attenzione del ragazzo che serve ai tavoli lo ha reso ancora più accogliente. Molto gentili ed appassionati anche i proprietari, una giovane coppia di Italiani, che pur avendo aperto relativamente da poco, ha dimostrato di saper lavorare molto bene. Sul menù ci sono pochi piatti, ma tutti ricercati, ben studiati e, soprattutto, realizzati a regola d’arte. Davvero un ottimo posto, che mi sento di consigliare come uno dei migliori, mai provati.

24/08/2025: Cottage pie was the best. Lively expansive place.

22/08/2025: Best lasagna of my life, and I am old.

24/08/2025: Well worth a visit, great sandwiches, excellent coffee, frencly and helpful staff. Seating is limited but you can always take away.

24/08/2025: Quaint, friendly shop with delicious snacks at reasonable prices. Good music, relaxed atmosphere.

09/09/2025: Darkey Kelly's is an absolute gem in the heart of Dublin. The pub has a fantastic, welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The live traditional Irish music is a major highlight, with talented musicians playing lively sets that get everyone's feet tapping. The staff are incredibly friendly and provide excellent service, adding to the genuine, warm "craic" of the place. It’s the perfect spot to experience authentic Irish pub culture, whether you’re a local or a tourist. A definite must-visit for a true Dublin experience.

09/09/2025: Great food, great atmosphere, overall superb experience!

06/09/2025: Canadian couple dropped in while staying write down the street from the Hampton Hotel in Downtown Dublin the food was excellent and the service was even better. Nice local young man complete with the poor boy hot and great accent served us with exemplary style and was very entertaining. Highly recommend if you're visiting

01/09/2025: Everything was delicious and original. Portion sizes are generous and service is great. Highly recommend it.

04/09/2025: I had a really disappointing experience here. The first problem was the amount of chicken on the Katsu Curry. I have been to many, many Asian restaurant in Dublin and by far the amount is around 2-3x less in this store. I was quite shocked how can they pass that 6-7 tiny bite size pieces of chicken as a Katsu Curry plate at that insanely high price. Again, compared to all other places, the amount of food you get is 2-3x less. However, the bigger problem was partner's order came like15 minutes after mine. I had to either eat while she is waiting or wait and have my food cold. This is not okay, these orders should come together, with maybe a few minutes between, considering the store was %70 empty. Sadly, I will not be visiting this restaurant again, and I can not recommend it.

01/09/2025: The service is first-class and the taste is very good, which is beyond imagination. In Western countries, this level is really good and worth a try.

23/08/2025: Quirky restaurant on the way out of the center of Dublin. The service is excellent. The food we had was nice, but not amazing. The beef was not a great cut of meat.

15/08/2025: One of the best restaurants in Dublin for sure. Such incredible food and unbelievably kind staff!!

04/09/2025: We ate at the restaurant and there are a variety of gluten free items or items where the gluten can be on the side. Excellent food and the next old fashioneds I've ever had.

02/09/2025: Beautiful accommodation right in the city center, a 5-minute walk from the Trinity College entrance and a 10-minute walk from Temple Bar. Check-in was easy and the pub team was friendly (the pub is also wonderful, by the way!). The room was very comfortable and clean (we booked the double/corner room). A bottle of water was provided, and there was free tea, coffee, and milk in the kitchenette. You can store your own food in the fridge. Right around the corner is a café (Bread 41) with the most delicious pastries. These can be eaten in the accommodation's lovely kitchenette if the café is full. You have to put up with some street noise; it's normal for the city center ;) It didn't bother us.

27/07/2025: Loved it here! Haven’t a clue about coffee but Sean and Adam were very helpful. A delicious Mocha with marshmallows went down a treat! Yum yum!

25/07/2025: Best coffee in Dublin. And the friendliest baristas.

26/06/2025: Superb food and drink at a brilliant price and fabulous staff who were genuinely engaging and pleasant.

21/06/2025: Yes it’s true. The best Guinness in Dublin and it’s €5 a pint. And the people are lovely - the bar staff and the locals. And it’s only a 5 minute walk to the Guinness Stores. And the toasties are top notch.

26/08/2025: The Lincoln’s Inn was the first Irish pub that my husband and I went to last July on our trip to Dublin. We arrived just as the kitchen was about to close, but our server Neil said that he’d see what he could do. We ended up ordering two pints of Guinness (our first in Ireland), fish and chips, and the Irish stew — all of which was delicious! We loved the atmosphere, service, and the whole experience so much that we went back on the last night of our trip for dinner and drinks. We also got the sticky toffee pudding, which is a must order! This year, my husband and I returned to Ireland with a friend, and The Lincoln’s Inn was our first stop, last stop, and a few stops in between. I’m so grateful to the staff for creating such a warm and welcoming environment that makes me want to keep coming back for many years to come.

25/08/2025: Good beer strictly Guinness, good food excellent service

08/09/2025: Absolutely exceptional. Totally fresh vegetables and tofu. Excellent for vegetarians. A must-visit.

19/08/2025: Qué increíble hallazgo justo al otro lado de nuestro hotel. Nos gustó algo diferente, ya que habíamos estado comiendo un montón de comida de pub y bar y este lugar es una verdadera joya. Es un comedor individual arriba y está decorado con estilo y auténticamente. El personal es tan encantador y todo el restaurante tiene un ambiente de Recibimiento y alegría. Estaba muy ocupado, pero nos las arreglamos para conseguir una mesa para dos y elegimos un salteado de ternera en salsa de ajo y pimienta y un cordero massamman curry ambos servidos con arroz jazmín. Ambos eran deliciosos, con sabores exquisitamente fragantes y excelentes ingredientes. El cordero estaba rico y tan tierno y en esta salsa rica y morena, mientras que la carne de res era suculenta y de sabor fresco con el ajo y el pimiento en una cama de lechuga. Este lugar es muy popular y no es de extrañar ya que es un restaurante brillante en una gran zona y sin duda lo recomendaría.

18/08/2025: I was kindly invited to dinner in Etto for a special occasion. Location is excellent. Food is honestly only ok, my main dish of lamb was chewy. When the waiter asked how the dish was, I tried to tell them it wasn't great but they were gone before they could listen to my response. My pet peeve in a restaurant of this standard. Others had the steak which was good but all the steak in Dublin is so good at the moment. I think this restaurant is overhyped

15/08/2025: Easily best and coolest resto in Dublin

28/08/2025: Lovely meal and reasonably priced

27/08/2025: We came here for the early bird dinner, and it was excellent. My husband is still raving about the pannacotta, and the ribs, oysters, and white fish were fantasticly prepared and flavored. The service was great (I told our waiter I was lactose intolerant so I could figure out which dish to get, to which when he brought out our bread and butter, came back a few minutes later, quietly apologized, and gave our table some oil and vinegar as well). Would absolutely recommend!

31/08/2025: Great wine bar with a wide variety of unique bottles and friendly service. Perfect place to unwind with friends or enjoy a casual date night.

30/08/2025: A cozy and stylish spot with an excellent wine selection and knowledgeable staff. Prosecco and white wines are my favorites, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet elegant.
