The best restaurants in Dublin

05/04/2025: We celebrated my partner’s Graduation with a nice lunch and two bottles of prosecco. The staff were very helpful and even managed to write “Congratulations” on his dessert. Definitely a great spot, clean and friendly, and the food is superb. The steak with truffle mashed potatoes is to die for. 😍

05/04/2025: The best food I’ve ever had Update!!!! Unfortunately I won’t recommend it as TOP Place to eat as it used to be .The food has been changed a lot

04/04/2025: China Sichuan offers great flavors and delicious food, but vegetarian options are quite limited. The crispy vegetable dumplings and crispy vegetable spring rolls are excellent starters. For mains, they have Mapo Tofu and Kung Po Tofu served with jasmine rice, both flavorful choices. However, their noodles and fried rice contain egg, and they don’t offer a fully vegetarian alternative, which is a bit disappointing. The restaurant is popular and gets fully booked on weekends, so reservations are recommended. While the food is tasty and well-prepared, the prices are on the higher side.

30/03/2025: Despite being located in very industrial surroundings, this is a five-star kind of place. Excellent food, excellent service, and a great ambience.

09/04/2025: Myself and my partner dropped in for a bite to eat Sunday afternoon last. Sat outside, despite being in the shade it was cozy. Great food , very friendly lady, overall great experience.

06/04/2025: Food was basic and pricey, steak €38, no mushrooms or onions

19/04/2025: My first pint of Guinness in Ireland!

18/04/2025: Great place, great food and awesome staff

12/04/2025: Another great work lunch today.

15/03/2025: Nice food little price but that the way eating out has gone in Ireland. I had the BLT which was very nice served with garlic dip and side salad I paid extra for chips they were fries style chips on the salty side which is good I enjoyed my experience in McCormack will return in future

14/01/2025: Great place for drinks and food

04/01/2025: First food was excellent stall were great couldnt do enough for us great atmosphere but you have to book if you want food would recommend it 100%

15/04/2025: Very cool bar but you will need reservation for the live music and Irish dancing.

14/04/2025: First day, first rest. /pub. In Dublin Attentive and friendly service, the place fascinated us and so did the atmosphere...the place is huge (it is advisable to explore) A shame when paying we did not know that the service charge was volunteer and they added it to our handwritten account without asking or our authorization... in 4 more days we did not see him again in any place and we were in many. Even so, we returned on the last day to have a few pints in the small bar on the left. The waiter this time was an artist/professional

28/03/2025: Do not order Bunsen for delivery, time and time again they mess up the order, and plug out their phone to avoid dealing with it. On any sort of busy time expect to wait at least an hour for your food, and don’t be surprised if it’s cold, missing or doesn’t arrive at all (all have happened to us.) It’s so disappointing because of how good the other branches are when you sit in.

22/03/2025: Third time here was always good

03/04/2025: Friendly staff, great coffee, and the cakes & açai bowls are amazing!

19/03/2025: Best cakes and coffee around and the staff are absolutely bang on aswell 👌

05/04/2025: Pleasantly surprised by the size of the wraps, a big welcome. Friendly service. Reasonable price considering the size of the wraps.

05/04/2025: A very friendly Dublin cafe! The art-designed cafes are simply sublime, and the coffee is really good. I recommend stopping by this place for a coffee unlike any other.

06/04/2025: If I could leave 0 stars I would! 1 drink in and my friend was physically manhandled and thrown out of the car for trying to go to the toilet without a receipt? Even though we had been drinking in the bar all day

05/04/2025: Great pub by the Canal. Enjoyable to sit on the barell outside on a sunny day.

06/04/2025: Ahhh the amazing pancakes they have 🤤

06/04/2025: Good food at a good price, but the service was top notch!

03/04/2025: I LOVE this place! Come here for brekkie/brunch multiple times a month - the go-to spot for a breakfast out ! All the staff are so personable and give the best service: accommodating and also a great chat. As for the menu, yummy and changes seasonally so there’s always something fresh 😋

03/04/2025: The menu forces you into difficult choices so you end up trying everything.

16/04/2025: The dinner was good and the food was delicious. The portions of pasta are small if you plan to take only the main course. The staff is friendly. But there was an unpleasant situation with the tip and the total bill. The tip is calculated automatically and included in the bill, despite the customer's consent. This was not mentioned anywhere. So there is no option to choose the amount. So we had an unwelcome surprise at the end. We were forced to pay (15% of the check for three people). When I asked why we had to pay, the manager said that the policy had been changed and that it was necessary to pay extra for 3 or more people, although it used to apply to groups of more than 8. It looked like we were being played for fools. This is not the first time this has happened. We’ve been here to celebrate birthday. Then our cake was taken to another table without even informing us. When we refused to pay a tip because of this situation, we argued for a very long time. This situation made me remember why I stopped going to this restaurant. I personally have a lot of experience in the service industry and hospitality , so I know what I'm talking about and that's why I'm writing about it. I have nothing against good work and gratitude for it. It's just that things like mandatory tipping (which is not common in Dublin restaurants) should be stated up front and not come as an unpleasant surprise, especially at small tables that don't require additional resources to clean. I am very disappointed, this kind of situation makes me not want to come back.

15/04/2025: Erica & Dennis ( yes ….Dennis the Italian) were just so friendly , helpful and provided great service. The food is fantastic and this place is highly recommended. Worth popping into toners for a pint too

31/03/2025: The staff are warm , welcoming and always smiley every single time i visit them … recommend this place for everyone☕️🚀

14/03/2025: Very nice coffee shop. Best off cofee. As always, the coffee is great.
