The best restaurants in Dublin

31/12/2024: We’ve been in here a few days when rugby matches have been on at the Aviva. It’s handy to the stadium. Great pints of Guinness. Dog friendly. Brilliant staff. Unfortunately the toilets are downstairs and I use a wheelchair

12/11/2024: This pub is just amazing. Has everything going for it. Love it. Classic Irish village bar south of the city in beautiful Ringsend.

05/12/2024: A really nice vibe in this pub, bar food was excellent and great value. Staff were lovely and friendly. I love they way they promote young talent with cosy gig venue upstairs. Keep up the good work guys!

04/12/2024: The staff are very friendly and polite gets better when I go here wish it was me local ❤️

24/12/2024: Hidden gem with amazing cocktails!

16/12/2024: I went here for a drink before a show. I had a non alcoholic drink and my friends had two cocktails. I went to use the toilet, while I was in there an alarm sounded and I heard someone shout in to what I presumed was the men’s toilets ‘stop vaping’. I washed my hands and when I went to exit the toilet I was stopped by a man wearing a jersey and tracksuit pants aggressively shout at me ‘were you vaping’. I said no, he didn’t move and was blocking my path. He shouted at me again very aggressively ‘were you vaping’. I was really taken aback by this and was silent for a second, I then said no I don’t smoke or vape. I was extremely uncomfortable as I didn’t know who this man was, and he was clearly agitated and aggressive. I then said I don’t think it’s appropriate that you are in the ladies toilet and you are making me feel very uncomfortable, at this point I had managed to get to the stairs where he was still blocking my path. Once seated I asked the bar tender who was serving drinks if she knew who the man was. I was informed that he was the Assistant Manager. Totally inappropriate behaviour and very upsetting, I left here extremely shaken. For context, I am a 29 year old female.

29/12/2024: I’ve enjoyed many lunches here. The food and service is always excellent.

21/12/2024: Went on for some dinner, fish and chips and scampi was great. Would come in here again...

09/12/2024: Such a great place and food was amazing 🙂

08/12/2024: Hands down the most authentic Italian restaurant in Dublin, trust me because I used to own an Italian restaurant. The food was perfect and the service was brilliant. If you are a sensitive foodie Instagram type who couldn't cook beans and toast please go somewhere else and leave this hidden gem to the real food lovers.

01/01/2025: NYE cena que estaba ciertamente ocupado, sin embargo, creo que un restaurante, y especialmente uno bien establecido como Kinara debe prepararse para momentos tan ocupados sin tener que comprometer la calidad de la comida! La comida era TERRIBLE y he estado aquí muchas veces antes, así que no estoy seguro de lo que pasó anoche. Cada plato que pedimos estaba bien, ya que podíamos hacer mejor en casa. ¡El plato de mi marido era el peor! ¡Ordené un pollo makhani que vino como un líquido anémico amarillo con pollo CLARAMENTE ya cocido lanzado! Ni siquiera había suficiente sal en el ya insípido plato. ¡Como dijo mi marido, una tienda habría comprado salsa! Mi plato de cordero no estaba tierno y en lugar de picante como yo quería, era solo duro y desequilibrado. El plato de gambas de mi amigo estaba bien, nada que escribir en casa. Los titulares también estaban bien. Toda la comida fue bastante apresurada también. . . . . . . . . . . No volveré después de eso.

22/12/2024: This restaurant is amazing but tonight we got a chicken pacora starter, it was like nothing we had before in this restaurant it was just prices of breaded chicken in an air fryer disappointed 😞

01/12/2024: Been a few times now and the food is exceptional! Definitely my favourite!

30/10/2024: Nice food, we arrived at the restaurant ,it was just opening.So a little chilly .But food was good and good wine list.

25/12/2024: Total dump ,full of fake provos talking politics as if they are experts and victims.The place is filthy.Stay away

15/12/2024: Good place to hangout with your friends

17/12/2024: Absolutely okay for the price The service is professional Soft drinks leave something to be desired

16/12/2024: Awesome venue, staff looked after us. Fab food and the occasional Guiness. Highly recommended.

01/12/2024: Amazing food, but lacks variety and a bit pricey

26/11/2024: High quality food with excellent service and a nice selection of seating

15/12/2024: El mejor martini expreso hecho por Brian en Bob bobs . . este tipo sabe sus cosas . El ambiente musical y el servicio eran geniales. Esperanza de un tradicional con muchos artefactos Hola, no comimos. Nos dijeron otras personas que la comida era muy buena. . Volveremos.

11/12/2024: The atmosphere is really good. There is often, live music and the lighting is really good. The drinks are average. Overall, I recommend it.

10/12/2024: Great place in dublin. Outdoor area for drinks and food. Its simply beautiful spot and building with amazing food and drinks. It is a little hidden Dublin wonder. Totally a cool spot for dates and catch up. Would be on your go to list of places to eat in dublin. Worked at a few events in their private building for shoots or events and its amazing. Love the Space and creative look. Had a catch dinner with friends here and food was great. Atmosphere was fab. Loved it.

09/12/2024: Had a wonderful evening here. Both the service & the food were amazing

06/12/2024: Nice place,lovely food, good service!! Well done!! Will be back!!

04/12/2024: Wonderful evening today at Pinocchio. I used to go at their Ranelagh restaurant and I missed it a lots after it's closure. It is the wonderful service that together with the quality of food as vibes make it a truly special gem. The people having the pasta making party also seemed to have a lovely time . Thank you guys

07/12/2024: I'm afraid we didn't like the crepes too much, and the place feels like it needs a bit of a cleaning and tidying up.

03/12/2024: A well run, busy local french cafe. Effecient and friendly staff, excelent menu. Deserves to be supported

29/12/2024: Had heard great reports of this place but had a very disappointing meal there. The pizza base was soggy and seemed uncooked and had nothing in common with the Neapolitan style pizza it advertises. The toppings were bland with stringy tasteless mozzarella ( or fior di latte…as they call it) Would not return.

27/12/2024: The pizza was terrible. Ordered a capricciosa and it was soggy, the ingredients were of very poor quality and it just wasn’t tasty. Same goes for our starter which was the tomato focaccia. Disappointed, wouldn’t recommend.
