The best restaurants in Dublin

15/10/2025: Good atmosphere and nice decor. The service was very good.

16/09/2025: Mark poured us two perfect pints!

12/10/2025: Their banoffee pie is to die for

20/09/2025: We’ve been regular customers of Casa for years but popped in today after a few months and left disappointed. The prices have gone up (€10 for 3 tiny pieces of Brie) and the quality of the food has unfortunately gone down. My pizza was so thin that there wasn’t much to it, it was also overcooked. The chips we ordered came out at the end of the mains and were also very overcooked and barely edible. There were 4 people serving and we were the only ones in the restaurant but the service was very slow - our starters sat uncleared on the table until the mains came out. We’ve always found the service and value for money to be to be great here but it’s no longer top of our list.

03/10/2025: The guy is very kind, he’s Brazilian but he speaks Spanish, English and Italian. Also, since it’s October, they have a promotion where if you buy a coffee, you get a free piece of chocolate

01/10/2025: Really good coffee and great selection of treats, including gluten free and vegan.

30/09/2025: Amazing food and wonderful staff! I'm in a wheelchair and they were there at the door to open it and bring me directly to a table where my husband could just pull up my wheelchair. The finna pitta and the sweet potato wedges are AMAZING!

27/09/2025: Best Nando’s in Dublin. The food is always really well cooked and delicious. Especially the Mac and Cheese side. Staff are very friendly also and give great service.

03/09/2025: I booked the upper restaurant room for a private party, which was my best decision ever. The place was full, but despite that, the team was lovely, very attentive, and patient. The food was delicious and delivered quickly. If you want to throw a party and don't know where to do it, that's the place.

11/08/2025: Do you ever feel like you’ve been cheated out of a good meal? That’s what we experienced. We’d walked past Mother Reilly’s more times than I can count, always promising, “Next sunny day, we hit the beer garden.” Saturday gave us that gift — blue skies, a rare Dublin sun, and the added temptation of some nice chicken wings on the menu. Seemed like fate. The garden’s a good spot in theory — if you can navigate the strange, U-shaped labyrinth of corridors and doorways to figure out how to get served. No lounge staff in sight, so we hiked to the main bar. Three staff at the end, mid-conversation, eyes glazed with the kind of indifference that says we’re off the clock in our heads. I asked for a menu and a pint; the barman waved me back to my seat, said the lounge staff would come. Ten minutes later, they did. The wings came in either ½ kg or full kg portions — a size measurement of food we both found odd, and in hindsight, should have been our first warning. We ordered the half kilo with fries and then waited well over 30 minutes, long enough to seriously contemplate walking out. When they finally arrived, the wings were so small they felt like the runt cousins of actual chicken. There was little to no meat on them — the weight of the bones clearly justified the price tag. Fries? Cool, naked, unseasoned. We went on another salt-seeking trek through the maze. We left €45 lighter and still hungry. No buzz, no atmosphere, no care from the people running the joint. The kind of place that doesn’t know it’s in the hospitality business. There’s a million spots in Dublin where you can get a decent pint and wings that won’t leave you cursing the day. This, sadly, isn’t one of them.

13/06/2025: My husband Kevin and I celebrated our wedding reception at Medley, Dublin this May and we truly couldn’t have imagined a better place to host the best day of our lives. As two proud Dubs, we always knew we wanted a city-centre wedding. We chose Smock Alley for our ceremony, and after a short (and very scenic!) 10-minute stroll, with a few stops at some of Dublin’s iconic pubs of course, our guests arrived at Medley for the reception. From our first visit right through to the final dance, the team at Medley, especially our coordinator Chris, went above and beyond. This type-A bride sent hundreds of emails and had a million little questions, and not once did I feel like anything was too much. They made everything feel effortless, personal, and seamless. We were after a vibe that was laid-back but beautiful, and a space where all generations, could feel relaxed and spoiled. Medley delivered all that and more. The food was a standout — not your standard wedding fare, but something genuinely special and delicious. No soup or meat-and-two-veg here (unless you want it, in which case they’d still nail it). We would recommend Medley a thousand times over. Every time we walk through Dublin city centre now, we get to pass by the place where we had one of the happiest days of our lives, and that still gives us a little buzz. I have no doubt we’ll be back again soon as guests, raising a glass to someone else’s big day.

11/05/2025: Attended a wedding there last week. Very exciting day with great atmosphere and great service and very friendly staff. Food was second to none, would highly recommend

10/10/2025: Lovely staff and chef Amazing potatoes.

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!

19/08/2025: I love this place. It has great atmosphere, decor, service, food, and drinks

12/10/2025: Very disappointed with the seafood paella — it tasted like tomato soup or risotto, not a paella. The rice was overcooked, and the price for that dish was not worth it. We’ve been here a few times, but this visit will be our last. Not recommended.

15/09/2025: I do not leave reviews very often, but Rudy’s was worth it. We were recommended this spot by a customer service agent at another store who said they had great food, and they were absolutely right. We stopped in for dinner on our last night in Dublin, and it was amazing. The food was top notch, the portions were filling, and the service made the whole experience memorable. The gentleman working and the young woman on staff were both so kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made us feel right at home. This ended up being one of the best restaurants we visited on our trip. It is clearly a favorite among locals, and even though we were staying near the airport, it was easy to get to. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Dublin.

27/10/2025: I waited for my coffee for 20 minutes.

23/10/2025: Beautiful place, good coffee, nice atmosphere, and very friendly staff. I was there twice during my stay in Dublin, a wonderful experience.

05/10/2025: Really good gluten free burger, tasty

22/07/2025: Had a few Drinks here on Sunday night. Misplaced my phone the staff were absolutely amazing and helpful.They done everything they could to help me recover it and they did . This type of service is wonderful to have still in Ireland . This pub should be supported because they care about people first and foremost. . I will definitely be back. Thank you

16/10/2025: Lovely hotel in a fantastic setting within an easy commute from Dublin centre. Good pool and fitness centre also Only slight negatives were for such a great location our view was of a brick wall and also the prices were a bit much. We would have spent more time in the hotel however when a Guiness and a wine were nearly 22 euros we decided to eat and drink elsewhere

14/10/2025: Beautiful hotel, excellent service, rooms, and food. Location was near Dalkey village, train station, and lots of hiking areas.

26/09/2025: the food here is always delicious, the service is quick, staff are friendly, n the music is great too. only issue w the place is that they are card only but most are these days so it’s nothing big

24/09/2025: From my personal experience it is good, especially Fritopol.
