The best restaurants in Dublin

20/01/2026: Hidden brunch gem! Came here for brunch after reading all the wonderful reviews! Pleasant surprise in a hidden spot! Cozy interior and spacious, friendly staff. Brunch was delicious! The beef brisket burger was delicious. It would have been nicer if the brioche buns were made in house, instead of using store bought ones. My friend enjoyed the Hangover stack - great combo of flavours. Americano was good. Flat white tasted of burnt beans and bit bitter unfortunately. Looking forward to coming back to try your pizza and pastas!

29/12/2025: The place is very cute especially considering the area that doesn't have the most fancy restaurant and shops, the service was good and the food was surprisingly very good, I usually get a bit disappointed with the burgers, I love them but they tend to be very basic and sometimes disappointing, but the halumni cheese one was perfectly balanced. Also the potatoes were perfectly cooked. I highly recommend this place if you're around for brunch, unfortunately according to Google the place is only open the weekend, but I know already I will come again to try the pizzas. The chocolate matcha was also a very interesting suprise we don't see in any places.

04/10/2025: loviest place ever. went there upon seeing all the reviews raving about how good this place is. and it’s safe to say it definitely met those standards. their spice bag is not those kind sprinkled with seasoning but instead it’s drenched in sauce. had a nice salty & sweet & spicy taste to it and you can definitely taste how it was made to order. to top it off, when we requested to change the chicken tenders to popcorn chicken after we saw everyone raving about it, the ladies at janet’s gave us half a portion of the popcorn chicken on the house. thank you janet’s for making our night and we look forward to coming back!

13/09/2025: Crispy chicken bao bun is incredible

03/02/2026: Absolutely awesome place fantastic vibe great local music and staff really friendly and helpful

03/02/2026: A very nice bar to enjoy an evening.

17/01/2026: We booked a large party on short notice and the food, service and atmosphere were all amazing!

10/01/2026: First time dining at Matt the Thresher. Gorgeous decor and vibes and lovely staff. The service was excellent and the drinks were delicious. The night we were in was a little crowded and there were some very drunk, very loud tables around is which somewhat spoiled the atmosphere at times. My wife and I don't eat meat which somewhat limited the menu, she had the much lauded scampi and I ordered the vegetarian offering which was a squash gnocchi. The pasta dish was incredible, light, rich and delicious and a perfect portion size. The scampi, though very tasty, didn't quite live up to the hype or the nearly 40euro price tag. Definitely a good eat and a beautiful spot, but there are places to get an equally fantastic meal for half the price, so I can't give it the 5 star.

15/01/2026: A lovely, typical Irish pub with beautiful decor. We spontaneously decided to eat here on a Monday evening. Despite it being a weekday, the pub was packed with locals, and we almost couldn't get a table. The food was delicious and the portions were generous.

20/11/2025: Best pint of Guinness and lovely staff

10/01/2026: Great fish and chips. Fair price. Loveley staff. I had a nostalgic moment when i tasted the food that was fried in, what i think was, beef fat.

26/12/2025: The fish was a bit dry; it needed some sauce. They only put enough potatoes for about four servings 😁, thank you very much for that. It was a bit salty, but that's not a big deal. The people working at the cafe are great; they made it quickly and were pleasant to talk to.

07/01/2026: One of the most consistently nice pints of Guinness in Dublin. Great bar.

28/12/2025: Very friendly staff and nice cozy pub

22/01/2026: No menus on tables. Dirty floor. Dirty tables. Dirty bathroom. Food is good but just needs to be more clean. When the waiter cleaned our table he wiped all the crumbs onto the floor. It was disgusting to watch

19/01/2026: Friendly and attentive staff; delicious food, coffee; pleasant environment.

30/12/2025: Guinness pie and fish& chips not much flavour

21/11/2025: Good pint's and a cosy atmosphere

06/07/2025: We had a fabulous meal helped by staff who gave us a very friendly service experience . A very nice meal that included sides of pilau rice , and naan breads that were delicious. Thankyou

04/07/2025: Really enjoyed dinner here midweek, reservation was definitely needed as it was impressively busy for a Wednesday. Food was delicious, service was swift but not too abrupt, a good balance! Will definitely return to try their other menu options.

31/01/2026: Excellent food and drink. Amazing atmosphere. Highly recommend it 🙂

26/01/2026: A good place for breakfast. Wide selection of breakfast options. Delicious.

27/10/2025: A pretty good South Indian restaurant that truly preserves the authentic flavors and spices. The highlight, however, is its clean and well-maintained washrooms — a rare find among Indian restaurants, even the “famous” ones in dublin.

27/10/2025: Karol served with smile but the other waitress wearing spectacles seems like she doesn’t want to serve customers. Visited the restaurant because of the good food but please improve the service. My partner also told me that several times the waitress with spectacles seems judgemental and giving side eyes. Smh

07/11/2025: Great place, and got a great table. Highly recommend!

28/08/2025: Patchy wi-fi but øtherwise this is one øf the greatest bars I've ever been in this side of the river. Bingø nights have to be seen 2 B beelieved!

12/01/2026: It's way to pricey for what they offer.

11/01/2026: The food is very good, and the quality-price ratio is perfect. I recommend the hot dog.
