The best restaurants in Dublin

05/04/2026: Enjoyed it. Much bigger than U would think... Great choice of beers.

28/03/2026: Great pub in a prime location. Besides delicious Guinness, it's also perfect for watching sporting events like rugby on a big screen.

28/03/2026: Went in on Saturday late afternoon to the bar upstairs and ordered a pizza and a few pints and wine for my better half and was getting settled in for the evening after three rounds and food when the staff announced that there was a reservation for the table at 8.15. I understand reservation policies for restaurants but boozers??? Why didnt they tell us upon entry that we couldnt have the table for the evening? It put a downer on the evening. Dont think i will come back after that.

26/03/2026: A quaint and very welcoming pub. The stew and pie are excellent.

18/03/2026: Lovely calm cozy vibe with good Guinness on tap!

18/03/2026: My wife and I had a great meal here while visiting Dublin. The celeriac salad was especially delicious. Great atmosphere and location as well.

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

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.

04/12/2025: A true Dublin pub, quite chill atmosphere for a bit of a chat. Perfect pints pours consitistantly and great service Not a tourist pub, if you want a true local pub experience then you will enjoy. If are looking for a plastic paddy pub head to temple bar.

17/11/2025: Nice pub, visited it on a Sunday 😁 joined for music Bingo, wich was fun 👍😁

31/07/2025: My favourite spot in Dublin (if not the country) for food! Always delivers the flavour. First time in the new premises but great to see the same friendly staff and high quality food continue. Always recommend Alma to anyone looking for good food in Dublin knowing they won't be disappointed.

23/07/2025: A difficult spot to visit due to high demand & limited space however worth the effort of making a reservation ahead to visit. I recommend trying the avocado toast and the pancakes after to share. Fresh orange juice and a coffee are also a great option at Alma. I recommend checking them out.

15/04/2026: Always visit The Duke when in Dublin. Went here last time to have lunch and watch rugby . Place was busy but barman got us a table for 4 with an ok view of tv . Had some lunch here which was good and service was friendly, efficient and good. The pints were lovely too👍The atmosphere was electric and Ireland beat the auld enemy well too. 💚

13/04/2026: Incredibly good customer service. Very nice location for a bit of pub grub lunch

17/04/2026: Nice little Italian restaurant with great food and good, friendly service.

16/04/2026: I was at Da Mimmo a few days ago and I loved it. The pasta is excellent, the wines are great, and the service is fantastic. I was especially pleased with Piero’s attention. He was very attentive the whole time and made excellent recommendations, both for the food and the wine. I will definitely be back!

22/04/2026: Food was not great at all, chicken in ceasar salad was extremely dry. Steak was bland and ravioli honestly tasted store bought. Extremely disappointed as we absolutely loved Sole

21/04/2026: Never fails with the food and service. From the moment you walk in staff are great. Service at the table always great. Food is always amazing

03/10/2025: We stayed in Dublin for four days, and we came here for breakfast/lunch every day. It's a charming and centric place with very dedicated staff, especially the waitress Nerea, who gave us recommendations and was super friendly. What's more, my partner is gluten-free and vegetarian, and they had gluten-free options for all the crepes/pancakes and quite a few vegetarian options. We loved it and will definitely be back!

22/09/2025: Never left a review before; this place inspired me. Advertises itself as a gluten-free breakfast cafe but has nothing gluten free on the menu. The only thing they could offer was a €7 crepe. Except when I went to pay it had a €2.50 surcharge for being gluten free that they didn't advise in advance. €9.50 for one pancake with jif lemon and some sugar. The tin hat was the €3.80 cup of black coffee I didn't even finish because it was more bitter than this review must sound. Will never darken the door again and, my advice, you shouldn't either.

09/04/2026: The food is truly exceptional. It's not a highly recommended place for those looking to save money, but it's highly recommended for a special occasion. It was a memorable experience and we will definitely return.

07/04/2026: Honestly, a very pleasant surprise 🍀 A cozy setting, delicious and sophisticated dishes—my husband and I almost felt like we were in Paris! A warm welcome, excellent wine… everything was perfect for a wonderful time. Thank you so much, and see you very soon 😊 J & M 🇫🇷🇮🇪

24/02/2026: Very simple place with simple menu, but what they are cooking is really tasty and amazing. Waiters are very helpful and attentive, no matter how busy they are, they always regularly check if everything is ok. Food was served within 10-15 minutes. Burgers was very nice, juicy and tasty. Plenty of tables and music was not loud, so really nice place to catch up and chat with your friends, if you are into burgers. Highly Recommended.

12/02/2026: Closed 45 minutes early. Told leak in ceiling resulting in early kitchen closure while people dining on site with fresh burgers...

12/05/2026: Love the decor. Great staff. Tasty breakfast and good value for money. Will be back.

10/05/2026: Best place would be worth it if they open another one away from city centre

18/04/2026: Just a great chilled out vibe here. Friendly owner on site. Nice dinners. Fair prices.

01/04/2026: Got to be one of the cooolest, most chilled bars in Dublin
