The best restaurants in Dublin

05/10/2026: Hidden gem. Eating here is an exercise of self restraint: You’ll try one thing and want to buy the whole shop.

29/08/2026: 10/10 One tip- handling money and then pastries is extremely off putting. Tongs or gloves really need to be used.

13/10/2026: Everything you want in a proper pub.

20/09/2026: The quintessential corner pub. Only wish I could have spent more time there.

05/11/2026: Everything was perfect! A cozy spot, great service, and wonderful food. Highly recommended!

03/11/2026: Food was ok. Needed salt. The pasta itself was good. The sauces were classic Italian food, in that they were simple, and depended on the quality of the few, simple, ingredients for their flavour. So far so good, but a bit galling to be paying the same price as dishes that require a lot more "cheffing", if you know what I mean...

07/09/2026: I stayed here for one night in late August. The quality and especially consistency was better than several 5-star hotels I've stayed at in Europe. My room was well-accommodated and perfectly clean. The AC (which I didn't particularly need that time of year) works very well. Bathtubs in every room is a huge plus, and is the main reason I chose this hotel. I decided to go for the breakfast buffet (17 pounds when booked the day before) and it was definitely worth it. (Typical hot breakfast items, cut fruits, yogurt, juices, pastries, and cappuccinos/any other hot beverage to-order.) The location is perfect for exploring Dublin, very centrally located (walking distance to Trinity College, St Stephen's Green, Little Museum of Dublin, Grafton St, etc.) and for anything further away, you can access public transit easily. Also, the airport express bus has stops close by. (But note that if you are two or more people, it is actually cheaper to get a taxi/rideshare, since the bus ticket is 15 pounds.) I managed to get a very good last-minute deal and the standard prices are a bit out of what I would normally go for, but I will very seriously consider staying here the next time I'm in Dublin because the stay was just that good! Btw, if you like sushi I highly recommend the counter service place Sushi & Go right around the corner. I have lived all over the US and it had some of the most creative and best quality sushi I've ever had. The one thing I'll note is that the hotel is next door to a homeless charity center, and there are queues of homeless people at mealtimes. However, they seemed friendly and orderly and I wasn't bothered (just surprised/confused at first.)

18/07/2026: I checked out of this wonderful hotel today following a 5 night stay with my daughter.. i cannot fault our time here. The service we received from arrival to departure was exemplary and we felt very looked after. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff are so lovely and helpful. The rooms are lovely, and fresh and cleaned daily The location is perfect for getting around. I would not hesitate to book again.

08/11/2026: It was a great cake .we really enjoyed it

07/11/2026: Rose really enjoyed her birthday cake that you made for her

17/09/2026: Our waitress Ashina was absolutely amazing! So kind, fast and beautiful! The food is fresh and has real good portions!

16/09/2026: Went to the place with my friend, amazing food and wonderful service by lalith would definitely visit again

13/10/2026: Oh, what a BRILLIANT place! Fibber Magees is absolutely my kind of bar! Great atmosphere, awesome music and the kind of place where you pop in for a drink and suddenly realise you have absolutely no intention of leaving anytime soon! I was lucky enough to catch Nil Gulmaraes performing live, and WOW, they were outstanding! Such fantastic musicians, brilliant energy and music that just makes you want to get up, dance and lose yourself in it all. And can we just take a moment to appreciate the lead singer and guitarist?! What an incredible voice, ridiculously talented and, good grief, HOT too! I mean, fabulous music AND some rather lovely eye candy? What's not to love?! The whole bar had such a brilliant buzz about it. I absolutely love places where live music is at the heart of everything, people are having a great time and you can just let your hair down and enjoy yourself. Honestly, I was completely in my element! Great tunes, fantastic entertainment, a cracking atmosphere and a little distraction on stage that certainly didn't go unnoticed! An absolute gem of a bar and somewhere I'd happily return to again and again. If you love live music and a proper fun night out, Fibber Magees is a must!

13/10/2026: A rock/metal pub, a Dublin landmark. The venue is spread over two levels: the ground floor has a bar, a pool table, pinball machines, and a stage with live music (we caught an Iron Maiden cover band, who were brilliant). There's a very large smoking area with another bar. Downstairs, there's a DJ lounge and another bar. I recommend the nu metal-themed Break Stuff night, which they usually have on Saturdays: great atmosphere! People who want to enjoy the music together, sing, dance, and head bang. We had a blast!

17/10/2026: There was a little line at lunch time, but our 25 min wait was definitely worth it. The food was delicious and fresh. Staff was so friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is quite small and was crowded, but the overall vibe and especially the food made the place worth a visit!

15/10/2026: Asked the staff if the table is available, said it belongs to the other restaurant and I should go to another place next door because it will be cheaper....huh?

20/10/2026: I love Camile, I get it every week - always saying with my meal

20/10/2026: Generally good service and tasty / quality Thai food.

03/11/2026: This is an amazing restaurant a wonderful taste experience at amazing value. Always busy booking essential, lunch, early bird menu's are very good. Full of families, small groups, couples all set in a terrific atmosphere. Decor is bizarre maybe a make over would be in order, but it adds to the relaxed atmosphere, this place is all about the taste and it delivers.

01/11/2026: Such a beautiful restaurant, celebrated my birthday here last night and it was such an amazing experience. The service is outstanding, very helpful with options for drinks and even crafted me a bouquet of roses, very, very amazing place. The food was really delicious and presented beautifully, Would recommend to everyone!! thank you for making my birthday so special, would definitely come again.

03/11/2026: pint was yummy! but maybe I just expected it to be busier? maybe I was unlucky but it was totally empty at 9pm on a Friday

26/10/2026: The food was okay, but they don't seem to like tourists or families! The children's meals arrived 20 minutes late and were the wrong order! The waiter was unpleasant and never once asked if we were alright. At the till, they charged us for meals we hadn't ordered! And they charged us almost €16 extra for service!

18/10/2026: Small but well-chosen menu. Very good meat and burgers. They go down a treat.

17/10/2026: Fantastic burger! Up there with the best I have had, simple concept with small menu - which is perfect. Will be back.

02/10/2026: Lovely people with lovely food 🥰🥰🥰
