The best restaurants in Dublin

05/09/2026: Absolutely brilliant pub – easily one of our favourite places in Dublin! We came here after a very disappointing experience at another pub nearby, and The Crafty Fox completely turned the evening around. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere was fantastic, and the whole place has a really cool and unique interior. Great music, great vibe and just the kind of pub where you immediately feel comfortable. And on top of all that: a pint of Guinness for only €5! Probably one of the best-value pints we’ve found in Dublin so far. Amazing prices, brilliant staff, great atmosphere and a genuinely cool location. 10/10 – absolutely recommend this place and we’ll definitely be back! 🍺🇮🇪

05/09/2026: Zoe my goat she’s the best photographer and bartender in the game much love. Adam’s chill too I guess

20/09/2026: It was our first ever trip to Ireland and this was the highlight of our trip. The people who work here are so incredibly lovely. We felt like in a home away from home. And the food was great too!

18/09/2026: A great city center bar. Top class service and drink in a comfortable and safe bar. Well done all.

23/07/2026: Great, authentic atmosphere. Fair prices.

12/07/2026: We first picked it because it was near our hotel, but it quickly became our favorite hangout spot during our vacation. A very warm place with locals, away from the crowds and loud noise. Slainté!

21/09/2026: THERE WEBS SITE IS DREADFUL THEY MIGHT WELL HAVE EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT BUT THEY HIDE IT VERY WELL ; LOOK FOR THEIR WEB SITE YOU GET FACE BOOK AND THE GPO LOOK FOR WALKINSTOWN YOU GET FACE BOOK AND THE GPO LOOK FOR THEIR MENU YOU GET FACE BOOK AND THE GPO

07/09/2026: A lovely local spot great for a morning coffee with friendly staff and a choice of indoor or outdoor seating making the Green Kitchen wheelchair accessible. My only complaint is that while the menu has plenty of vegetarian options the same cannot be said for vegan dishes. Vegetarian options are marked with a V but do not list any allergens making it difficult for customers to decipher vegan from vegetarian options. Additionally while there is a beautiful range of pastries to pair with a hot coffee, none of these pastries are vegan which is quite disappointing. In future I would love to see a more clearly labelled menu for allergens and inclusive of plant based options

20/09/2026: Best North Indian food . The mango chutney is very tasty

07/07/2026: We had an incredible dinner at The Saddle Room! After spending 2 weeks traveling in Ireland, we had lots of great food. This meal was definitely the best! Our server Ellen was so sweet and attentive. She gave great recommendations and was very kind to our 1 year old daughter. Highly recommended this place for a fancy dinner.

30/06/2026: The Saddle Room | The Shelbourne Hotel | 27 St. Stephen's Green, Dublin 2 If you are searching for the best restaurant in Dublin for a truly special dining experience, The Saddle Room at The Shelbourne Hotel is the answer. We dined here during our stay in Dublin in late June 2026, and this iconic Irish institution delivered a flawless evening from start to finish. Setting & Atmosphere: The Saddle Room is one of Dublin's most storied and beautiful dining rooms — a masterclass in grand Irish hospitality that balances old-world elegance with warmth and ease. The private golden booths are among the most comfortable and distinctive seating in any restaurant in Ireland, and the open kitchen adds a wonderful theatrical energy to the room. This is fine dining that never feels stiff or pretentious. The Food: The menu is a celebration of Ireland's finest ingredients, with an expertly curated focus on premium steaks and fresh Irish seafood. The Chateaubriand is extraordinary — melt-in-your-mouth perfection, presented and carved tableside with genuine theatrical flair. The oyster bar features the freshest Irish oysters, and the seafood tower is an absolute showstopper. For lovers of classic preparations, the Beef Wellington carved tableside and the lavish cheese trolley are experiences unto themselves. Service: The Saddle Room's staff are among the best trained in Dublin — warm on arrival, knowledgeable, gracious, and utterly attentive throughout. The kind of service that reminds you why great hospitality is an art form. Our server guided us through every menu option with genuine expertise and care. Location: Steps from St. Stephen's Green in the heart of Dublin city centre, The Saddle Room is perfectly positioned for pre-theatre dining, a celebratory dinner, or the best Dublin lunch. Iconic Grafton Street, the National Museum, and Dublin's most celebrated landmarks are all within walking distance. For the best steakhouse in Dublin, the best seafood restaurant in Dublin, and one of the finest overall dining experiences in Ireland — The Saddle Room at The Shelbourne is the definitive destination.

08/09/2026: Love the Old Storehouse. Been to Dublin on many occasions and this is always on the list of places to visit. Bar staff are great and the atmosphere is fantastic. Without exception the musicians we have seen are seriously talented. I would highly recommend a visit.

24/03/2026: What can I say? It's been four weeks since we went to this taste bud prison. We still can't believe it. First of all, almost all of us ordered "tenders" for €10. FIVE TENDERS!!!!!!! I'M OUTRAGED. The tenders were as dry as the Sahara Desert and as small as a fetus. And let's not even talk about the extremely slow service, even though there were only about six of us in the restaurant. The €5 fries were just as traumatic. Sincerely, Lucie, Lucas, Joffrey, Garance, and Kathleen. (and Lilou) 😁

04/09/2026: A true coffee place! Had the best flat white of my Dublin trip here. Also try their delicious peanut and banana bites! Great combo with their coffee! Another plus point that they don’t only sell their beans but also pods!

31/08/2026: As somebody who's lived in Dublin 10+ years, this place serves the best coffee in the city in my opinion
