The best restaurants in Dublin

26/05/2026: Pretty sure they charged me for two sandwiches and two beers instead of one. Time is short so I guess that's just included a 100% tip.

25/05/2026: Wonderful experience! The food was excellent and the service was awesome! Joe made sure we had everything we needed and served us so quickly. We are definitely going back to try the Beef Stew.

29/11/2025: Food and drinks were great. The Goat Pizza was stunning! Pedro was our waiter and he was super lovely and attentive. Would recommend Mackenzies and looking forward to coming back

29/11/2025: Great food and service, Pedro was amazing and took good care of us

20/10/2025: Good sushi and tasty tapas. A bit better place then the one on barrow street

20/10/2025: The food is a complete disaster and has nothing to do with Japanese or sushi. The sushi rice is mushy. The meat has been treated with plasticizers. The vegetables are made of cabbage. So, if you're used to Japanese food, you won't be happy here. The decor is reminiscent of a cheap Chinese restaurant. The only thing that's convincing here is the price.

22/10/2025: Excellent service outdoor seating freshly made food and coffee 👍

15/10/2025: Just had the club sandwich here and it what the best sandwich I have ever eaten.i had to go back in and tell the staff also.

13/03/2026: Great for a pint and people watching

12/03/2026: One of our favourite pubs in the heart of Dublin. Really beautiful and classic interior. Great service, lovely pints and delicious food. Back every time.

09/06/2026: If you want a real fry up, this is the only place to go. A real gem of a spot, good, hearty, wholesome breakfast at a lovely little mom and pop joint. All breakfasts come with tea/coffee, toast and orange juice. I seriously recommend trying this place out, you will leave feeling well fed and energetic, as opposed to feeling exhausted and groggy, as I normally do after a fry up. Little tip: Don't think twice about it, just get the Large breakfast, it's worth the price and you get the fried potatoes and the black and white pudding, the likes of which I've never eaten anywhere else. I normally prefer to skip these three items, but I regretted doing that here when I got the small breakfast with a side of the mushrooms. My partner got the large breakfast and it was honestly just👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

07/06/2026: This place is such a hidden gem!!! It is so unassuming to look at it from the outside. For us travelers, it was exactly the place we needed during our trip in Dublin. Just a small and humble place where you can get such a big hearty meal to kickstart your day. We really enjoyed our food and also our drinks. We would love to come back here in the future 🫶🏻

17/01/2026: I used to order from 4Friends back when I worked in the city, back when it was a place you would actively recommend rather than quietly apologise for. I am now living on the other side of town, usually relying on Deliveroo to get my 4friends, and after a lot of travel I found myself back in the city centre this week. Feeling nostalgic and full of goodwill, I brought my girlfriend in, proudly talking it up like a man revisiting an old pub that once served the perfect pint. What I found instead was deeply depressing. The first thing you notice is not the smell of burgers or sizzling beef. It is grime. Tables smeared with old sauce, sticky to the touch, looking like they had lost a fight with a bottle of ketchup sometime last Tuesday and never recovered. The place felt tired, unloved, and frankly unclean. Then came the real horror. After eating, I went downstairs to the toilet and was greeted by a smell so aggressively sewage like that it should come with a warning sign and a hard hat. Sitting upstairs you are blissfully unaware, but once you know, you know. And it makes the idea of eating there again physically impossible. Now to the burgers. I ordered the Professor, a burger I once travelled for, a burger I spoke about with the reverence normally reserved for religious experiences. This version was a pale imitation. Somewhere along the way you have swapped out your beef supplier for something generic, bland, and utterly forgettable. The signature juiciness is gone. The flavour has packed its bags and left without saying goodbye. You can taste the cost cutting in every bite. My girlfriend’s reaction summed it up perfectly. One bite, a pause, and a polite “it’s just ok”. That silence was louder than any review I could write. While I was there, a delivery arrived from Sysco, which rather confirmed my suspicions. This is not progress. This is what happens when you start shaving quality to save a few bob. The place was empty, and that should worry you. I want you to be around. I want 4Friends to succeed. But you do not get there by serving burgers that could have come from anywhere. Behind the counter there were three staff members and a rotating cast of their mates coming in, laughing and joking, while tables sat uncleared and customers sat wondering why nobody cared. Basic stuff is being ignored. Cleaning tables. Keeping the place fresh. Making sure it does not smell like a blocked drain. This place used to be worth the journey. Now it feels like it is going to the dogs. Please go back to the original beef supplier. Please sort out the hygiene. Please fix that smell. Because cutting corners does not save you money in the long run. It just drives away the people who once loved you. Do better. With genuine affection from a once loyal customer.

10/01/2026: Loved this place but recently their portions have reduced (tapioca dice) by almost half and the price has increased. Understandable to have a small price increase but cutting the potion size that drastically was pretty disappointing as someone who has spent a good amount of money here over the years.

05/02/2026: Unsure of fire exit. Downstairs door locked. Only way out was up the stairs.

03/02/2026: For gluten free beer drinkers, this ks the place. They had a variety of option from lagers to stouts and also ciders.

21/05/2026: We found this place quite by accident, located a bit off the beaten track, but we're so glad we found it. It has a homey, family-friendly atmosphere, sports events, and great prices.

17/05/2026: Good, fast, friendly and very tasty.

23/04/2026: I respect the nutrional guidelines provided and calories arent too bad if you are dieting. Excellent variety and Food Is always exceptional and perfectly seasoned with their own distinctive style. Highly recommend!

22/04/2026: It has been a while since we last got a take away and we loved Camile as our first one back. 😋

16/06/2026: We rushed in, knowing we had very little time to eat. The place was a surprise, cute even if very cramped. They explained to us that some dishes could take a long time to prepare, so they suggested we try the Irish Stew, which was a ready-made dish. We did, and the stew was excellent!! The staff was a bit rude. I understand that working in an area always overrun with tourists is tiring and sometimes unpleasant, but a smile doesn't cost much, and customers sometimes come back again.

14/06/2026: The food was great and our server Ling was super helpful and sweet.

25/06/2026: Went with my daughter who has been here before on her own, never before asked for id any other time, but asked when I was with her and she didnt have it on her so we were denied, wasted my money travelling up to dublin,had non refundable tickets. Ruined my night and her night wouldn't go near the place again.

24/06/2026: Still one of the best live music venues I visit in Dublin every time I’m up. The atmosphere is always great, and even when there’s a gig or event on, the place never feels too cramped unlike some other venues I’ve been to. Even if you’re not there for the music, it’s still a place you’ll enjoy. Highly recommended 👍

06/03/2026: Great venue for meetings- superb lunch. Staff were excellent

03/03/2026: Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent food. Clean and tidy. Great location for the airport. Easy to get to. Decent room price too. Can't fault this place

28/04/2026: A lovely place by the quays across from the bord gais

25/04/2026: I had a very disappointing experience at this bar. I ordered two pints from a barman with a beard who was extremely rude, not only to customers but also to his colleagues. Another staff member brought the card machine, and I paid as normal. However, shortly after, the same barman accused me of not paying, which was both embarrassing and frustrating. I showed him the receipt on my Google Pay as proof, and instead of apologising, he sarcastically told me to “enjoy your free pints” and then ignored me. This kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable. Staff should treat customers with respect and handle situations professionally, especially when they are clearly in the wrong. I won’t be returning.

21/12/2025: I started taking CBD from Little Collins over a year ago, and since then my anxiety and intrusive thoughts have gradually decreased. About a month ago, I switched to CBN and noticed a huge improvement in my sleep quality — it’s been great. I definitely recommend CBD as an alternative treatment, and I highly recommend Little Collins’ CBD. Besides having the best CBD, their coffee is also very good.

19/12/2025: The three girls at the ground floor are amazing, Silvia, Lora and the one from Croatia too which i unfortunatelly forgot her name (hope she forgives me😅🙏). Quality of the CBD is super and the service is awesome. Highly recommended
