The best restaurants in Dublin

12/12/2025: It was absolutely delightful. Will be returning. The burger was cooked to perfection and the chips were no slacker. The servers were so skilled and kind. Thank you so much for that lovely scrumptious meal.

06/12/2025: A good restaurant, but a bit basic. The sweet potato fries are good, but basic—you could easily make them at home. As for the burger, it was cooked well, but the burger itself was nothing special—not bland, mind you, but nothing special. I think there are definitely better burgers in Dublin.

17/12/2025: Happened to walk past on my way to the hotel and went in for a Guinness. What a great pub. Great staff and an atmosphere how I imagined a small Dublin pub would be. Steeped with history. Well worth a visit.

16/12/2025: Great place for a pint andca chat. Old school.

15/10/2025: The hotel the day this restaurant is in is beautiful. The restaurant itself wasn’t fancy but felt very approachable and welcoming. The food was great and I loved that they had a Slovakian tasting menu. We didn’t have it but my husband did have the potato dish from that menu and it was excellent. The pork chop that I had was delicious! The staff was so kind and attentive. The wine was really delicious. Great start to our Dublin vacation.

01/10/2025: The ambience of the Merrion hotel was exceptional. The restaurant was lovely with good food and the chef was excellent. The thing that let it down is the service. Not great for a uptown restaurant

18/10/2025: Amazing pub. Perhaps the most beautiful of all.

17/10/2025: We were there yesterday. Great bar, with a fantastic live musician, Philip Noone. We'd love to come back.

02/11/2025: Consigliato…10to10 very good food, 100% fresh and very good, everything was perfect, atmosphere was very confortabile, both waitresses very nice and gentle, we’re gonna go again ofc. Thanks

31/10/2025: Great pan-asian food, quick and competent service! Good vegetarian options!

02/11/2025: Really unusual, cosy pub. We just found it because we were looking for a pet friendly place near Henry St. Lovely little snugs/booths. 80’s & 90’s alternative hits playing. Will definitely be back. Hidden gem

25/10/2025: I didn't eat anything, so it's hard to comment, but the place has a true Irish feel. The bartender is wonderful and helpful. The individual booths and local people are just what I was looking for in Dublin :)

17/09/2025: Completely non-existent customer service. Google reviews are fake and inflated. For a more accurate review check Irish Times review, etc.

14/09/2025: Very good vegan pizza, best around really. Thanks

09/10/2025: Popped in yesterday for a coffee after an event in the Rds, ordered but than realised I only had cash and it was card only.The lady at the till replied that’s okay just do something nice for someone.We left the cash on the counter and said do with that as you please ,such a kind interaction.Food was fantastic and so was the coffee very quick and amazing service. Thank you guys !

06/10/2025: I am visiting Dublin for a few days but the experiences I had here made me want to move here. I came here on a very busy Sunday and even though this place was packed to the gills everyone that worked there was so kind and polite. They were quick and efficient. The coffee was so good that I came back the next day. It was considerably less busy on a late Monday morning. I was able to sit outside and enjoy my delicious breakfast and coffee. The flat white was amazing. These people know how to make a good cup of coffee. The woman with the curly hair and bubbly personality made me feel so welcome. She even remembered my name when I left. Wish I could stay longer and become a regular. Come here and you will not be disappointed.

01/12/2025: The nicest pub I've been to in Dublin! A typical Irish pub near Dublin's main street; really good food and friendly staff, all in a warm, quintessentially Irish atmosphere! Would I recommend it? Definitely! Would I go back? Absolutely!

28/11/2025: Didn't eat, just drank a beer 🍺

18/11/2025: Delicious food, modern and very chic atmosphere.

16/11/2025: The all got the burger special for dinner (burger, fries and a link for cca 20€). Burger was good but a bit too cooked.

18/09/2025: Love, love, love these stores, both on a personal level and also from working with them via our brand Scribble & Stone. Vanessa and Marcus have done amazing work bringing the most gorgeous curated collections to Dublin across homewares, childrens and lifestyle gifting. Go and visit the 3 Dublin stores and the rest of the Drury street area for a real taste of Dublin and an all around lovely experience. Indie retail is becoming scarcer and scarcer in Ireland and globally so we really need to support these gems that make a visit to a city special and that in turn support other indie, local brands too.

02/09/2025: The hot chocolate was just not good

02/11/2025: Unpleasant experience last night at La Gordita for my birthday. We arrived on time and were seated at the bar. The staff were chatting with the two couples next to us, explaining the menu and taking their drinks orders. By the time our waiter came over, their food was already arriving. No one explained the menu to us, and the waiter seemed a bit sniffy when we ordered a cheap bottle of wine. The food itself was average. The crab salad was a highlight, but the garlic in the prawns was burnt and the Spanish omelette wasn’t a proper tortilla it was just a flat omelette topped with slices of potato and chorizo. Generally boring flavours and small portions. Staff checked in with the tables around us as they got their food - but not with us. After finishing the tapas we’d ordered, we were still hungry. When the waiter asked if we’d had enough and we said no, he just handed us the dessert menu and said “great.” We ended up leaving after about an hour - no dessert - and felt like just getting our coats back was asking too much. Not sure if it was because we looked young or like tourists, but the service felt frosty and unwelcoming. The host did check in once and the lady who took over the bill was nice, but overall the experience was disappointing. Wouldn’t recommend this place for a special occasion. I’d be really annoyed if I’d booked it expecting a treat based on the Michelin guide. We spent €140 on five tapas dishes, were largely ignored and left hungry. Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else.

01/11/2025: Top service and Spanish tapas. Staff were all awesome.

10/10/2025: Everything was perfect, great service from Jefyter and Thamara.

10/10/2025: Food was lovely and Tamara was amazing. Thank you.

02/08/2025: Awesome pub, reasonable prices, but what makes it is the food. Burger was great, and the wontons were insanely good.

29/07/2025: Great place to start your rugby weekend - great food, service and friendly atmosphere!

12/12/2025: Lovely restaurant, food is to a good standard, staff very attentive.

11/12/2025: I am not always a fan of Irish food, but this place makes a fantastic boxty! Excellent drinks as well, and a wonderful, friendly staff.
