The best restaurants in Dublin

16/12/2025: I went on a Monday night. Quiet with good service. I'd go back.

16/12/2025: Brilliant atmosphere! Rammed an a Tuesday! Reasonable prices and great craic!

03/02/2026: Man, that’s delicious! My husband and I had a few of the starters to split for our dinner, and everything was delicious. This is modern Irish cooking at its absolute finest. The front of house team were all knowledgeable, friendly, and really made us feel welcome. Tip: order the focaccia if you order the mussels: you’ll need it for mopping up. 10/10, no notes. Thank you, Legal Eagle!

02/02/2026: Friendly staff Delicious food Everything is great, thank you

10/12/2025: Lovely cafeteria in Dublin. Best in town quality/price! Lovely service.

29/11/2025: Amazing coffee and great service. Best coffee we've had in Europe and everyone was very friendly and helpful.

11/02/2026: Amazing chicken fillet and fried pickled

03/02/2026: Had to throw up the following night, but could also be due to the fact that I drank approx. 10 pints, still I did not think it was extremely tasty, good but not very good

23/01/2026: All around, an excellent experience.

21/01/2026: A little cramped. Ordered a ribeye, rare. It came out medium to well done. Sent it back and the replacement came out quickly, perfectly cooked and a great tasting piece of meat. Busy restaurant. WCs could be cleaner. Poor wine selection but good range of whiskeys.

04/11/2025: My favourite place to get coffee in Dublin! The staff are always friendly, the baked goods are great and I cannot emphasise how tasty the mocha is🤗

15/10/2025: I enjoy hanging out with my friends here. The staff is friendly. First time having blue matcha latte, and it was delicious 😋

25/01/2026: The food was below average and didn’t live up to expectations. Flavours were quite mild and dishes felt rushed rather than freshly prepared. Portions were okay, but overall the quality didn’t justify the price.

01/01/2026: Super restaurant the food is 10/10 and staff are incredibly accommodating. Highly recommend

19/01/2026: The food was delicious, the staff very polite. I’d definitely come back

17/01/2026: Pros: Nice staff + Fair price + Spider roll was good + Chicken Gyoza was tasty Cons: The Yakitori was watery

30/01/2026: Nice placer. Live music.on wednesdays

06/01/2026: Got the tip from a local, walked into the establishment with zero expectations and got blown away - went down the stairs, ordered our food and got it right away - everything was lovely except for the chips which were just not seasoned enough.

08/01/2026: Amazing experience of live Japanese grill. Skillful chefs. Was there for a birthday celebration and they made the day much more memorable. Food was top quality and tasty.

31/12/2025: Super place! We had a 3 course dinner, the food was amazing! Very nice staff. Will definitely come back on a later occasion

05/01/2026: What a cool spot. Definitely retro in the best way. The food and service was just incredible for a very reasonable price.

03/01/2026: Why mend what isn’t broken, still the best restaurant in Dublin for atmosphere ,food ,service ,nostalgia . If it is your first time to Dublin treat yourself.

22/12/2025: We went here twice and the food is really tasty and the service is very friendly. Homemade wraps are so tasty. Will definitely go again and would easily recommend.

15/11/2025: i don’t think i’ve ever paid so much for a cup of tea. €4.40 for a teabag is absolutely crazy. next time i won’t blindly order anything without checking the price beforehand! at least the tea was good 🫠 this review is not a reflection of the service or atmosphere, only a psa so customers are not shocked at the prices!

22/01/2026: A great team and fantastic food.

20/01/2026: Fantastic restaurant. Even better service. 10/10

18/01/2026: We had a lovely lunch at Bastible and the food was delicious. The portions however were really small (even for a tasting menu) and we unfortunately left hungry. We did enjoy our experience but it would be good if the staff didn’t rush you out - they took our final plates away and replaced it immediately with the bill and card reader which felt a little inhospitable for a Michelin restaurant. We found somewhere else for a coffee afterwards! Would still recommend for taste of the food.

17/01/2026: Honestly, this place is a total joke! It's not a Michelin star restaurant—more like a delusional minus star spot for wannabe rich people. The food? Absolutely appalling. We waited over two hours for the tiniest portions I've ever seen. I'm talking about plates that had one bite of food on them—there were four of us, and we barely had enough to eat! Every dish tasted the same, and we sadly went through seven of these microscopic plates. It felt like they just divided one sad piece of fish among the whole restaurant. And don’t get me started on the prices! It’s way overpriced for what you get. If you’re looking for a real dining experience, just skip this place and go to Guilbaud restaurant instead. Seriously, save your money and your appetite—this place is a complete ripoff .

27/12/2025: Great food and great service! Everything was so tasty and the price is also excellent for what you get!

19/12/2025: This is one of my favorite places to eat in Dublin, it's an amazing place to go regularly because it's so cosy, reliable and affordable and usually you can get a table without booking except on Thursday or weekend evenings/nights. The lasagnes are all delicious and well priced, the atmosphere is generally amazing and the staff are usually quite nice. The menu is very simple and the wines are all delicious, even the cheapest wine by glass is delicious. Some areas of improvement are ensuring to actually heat up the lasagnes, I've received it cold multiple times over the past few years. This should be checked in advance of serving, to bring bread with the lasagne, to put the cocktails in nicer glasses and sometimes the spritz don't usually water that is sparkly enough.
