The best restaurants in Dublin

31/12/2025: There was actually no place left to eat... the owner? A really nice man, who said if we wait two minutes, we'll know if anyone has canceled! And they did! We were led to a great spot in the busy restaurant. The woman serving us was Michelle, what a cheerful and sweet person! Full of energy! The food was absolutely perfect!!! The pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauce was just like in Italy 🇮🇹. Not to mention the pizza!!! I've never had such a delicious meal anywhere ❤️ When we're back in Dublin, we'll definitely pop in here again!

07/11/2025: Great to see some Asian options in Blanch village. Staff were helpful and friendly. Pastries and sweet treats looked delicious. The outdoor dining area is very well done.

28/10/2025: 4 of 6 of us had the fine oppotunity of expericencing food poisoning after having the ube chiffon swiss roll and pistachios cake.

10/01/2026: The staff are indifferent and not friendly at all; they act like they’re about to attack you. The bread was ice-cold, and instead of paying attention to customers, they just chat among themselves. I was not satisfied at all.

05/01/2026: So many vegan options!!! But still really authentic (DELICIOUS) cuisine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

01/12/2025: Beautifully crafted food for a very hungry person. Very clean and fresh food and service with a smile. Highly recommend this franchise.

30/11/2025: An eatery at the absolute pinnacle of dublin’s eateries

22/08/2025: I definitely recommend they have been so amazing with me and the committee, so helpful i would definitely book with these again

22/08/2025: Such an incredible night, we couldn’t have asked for anything more!! Staff were so accommodating and helpful from first planning all the way to the end of the night⭐️ Photos from the photographer came out stunning! Food was nothing short of amazing; 3 course meal was so delicious. Layout and presentation of the venue was something so magical that we’ll never forget, we loved every second of it, and thank you to Insignia Nights and Empire for making our night one to remember❤️

10/01/2026: Great restaurant. Always has different specials that are varied and delicious. The menu can be mostly done gluten free which is amazing. The atmosphere is very good and the staff always friendly. The restaurant is a one minute walk from the seaside where you can walk away the dinner after.

09/01/2026: Waitress and smiley barman and excellent chicken wings and nachos thoroughly enjoyed with nice warm fire atmosphere I’ll definitely be back

27/12/2025: A great atmosphere, a home-like welcome! He's passionate about people and his work...go without hesitation! He's a sweetheart, like a father to those who know him. See you, Johnny!

02/11/2025: A pleasant place with two floors, two TV screens on the ground floor, and many flags of countries and teams, as well as banknotes from various countries.

18/01/2026: Definitely more of an attraction for tourists, food was good and fresh, the dining space is super tight and basically communal tables by how close you are. Still enjoyed the vegetable and seafood chowder!

18/01/2026: Traditional Irish stew: Average. The lamb flavor was a bit strong, and the seasoning wasn't great. It's the kind of dish you'd eat once and wouldn't order again. My friend's salad was a large bowl, and the taste was just okay. The chowder was also just average. Overall, it's a touristy place; the prices are acceptable, but the taste is very average.

28/10/2025: We came across this café after eating dinner in a nearby restaurant and this café gives off a very calming and cozy vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful. I ordered a hot chocolate and it’s my first time having it like in the photo. It was heavenly and I cannot wait to try the other options next time I come back!

24/10/2025: Great coffee and a great ambience. Recommend!

19/12/2025: Love this little hidden café near the Four Courts. Great coffee paired with genuinely friendly, efficient service. It’s a popular spot with the legal crowd, and it’s easy to see why — smooth, high-quality coffee, a lovely selection of pastries and light lunch options, and very reasonable prices. The space is airy and welcoming, with a charming nod to the building’s history (look for the old Medical Mission sign). A small place but well worth seeking out. ❤️🫶🏿

07/11/2025: Good food and fantastic coffee, values for money.

18/01/2026: Excellent breakfast today - service excellent & value for money

07/01/2026: Visited recently for the first time in a good few years. Really easy online booking system, food was quick and very tasty especially the calamari! Was a very cold day and thankfully the heaters were lovely and warm. Friendly attentive staff, will be back again.

27/09/2025: The ice cream is good by local standards.

23/09/2025: Great service, good food, reasonably priced but overshadowed by the continuous intrusive disturbance from what would appear to be the manager/owner of the establishment sitting in the booth next to us playing , without using headphones, what sounded like various Tik Tok videos and social media content at a very loud volume. Maybe it might be a good idea to advise patrons and staff alike that the playing of loud video content is prohibited without the use of headphones as it impedes greatly on customers conversation and downtime.

13/01/2026: Great music venue, very intimate for gigs.

06/12/2025: Great Guinness, fantastic people and top class service

31/01/2026: It's not authentic Korean food, but feels like a Chinese imitation with a similar visual. Perhaps it can't be helped because the owner is Chinese? The taste is okay.

03/01/2026: My go to Asian supermarket. Can find anything there and prices are not too bad. There's a restaurant at the back of the place.
