The best restaurants in Dublin

20/03/2026: Great 2 pints. Brill down to earth host. Haven't been here in while but still great spot Like a local spot

20/03/2026: Nice pub to drop into for a pint, the service was excellent they made room for our large group to sit. Unfortunately you could smell the bathroom when you walked upstairs and it was hot inside, but I think that's just charm that comes with an old building. Would recommend.

05/08/2025: I got the chocolate hazelnut bun and it was delicious. There isn't much space to sit in but well worth a visit.

30/07/2025: Fable Bakery in Dublin is a pleasant little spot, though not exactly a hidden gem. Their baked goods are decent—fresh and enjoyable, but not particularly memorable. The coffee was fine, not standout. The staff were kind and the setting cozy, though service could be a bit quicker. It’s worth dropping by if you're nearby, but maybe not worth a long detour. All in all, a good experience, just not one that’ll knock your socks off.

26/10/2025: So...to begin with that i went for this so called sushi restaurant by the reviews on Google maps that was saying it's a 4.5 stars one. I went with my girlfriend as she likes sushi very much . To begin with that that we were seated at 20:55 ,ordered in next 5 minutes. The food was served by 21:40,for sushi and the palce wasn't crowded. The waitress didn't bring any ustensile nor plates, as we need to eat with the hands,so I went and asked them to bring some,not even soy sauce on the table. And about the food, it was the most disgusting sushi that I had in Dublin, and we experienced some sushi restaurant ls around Dublin area.The rice was different form all other places, the taste of them was awful and all the experience. At my first prices I wanted to return the food, but they didn't agree. Avoid eating in this place by all means. I don't want that someone to go through what we went. Kind regards

25/10/2025: The sushi was fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavour — definitely some of the best I’ve had in Dublin. The atmosphere is calm and elegant, perfect for enjoying a nice meal with friends or a date night. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back soon. Highly recommend!

16/03/2026: We had a lovely lunch at Nova and it’s one of family favourites in Dalkey. Lovely staff and great food. Thank you as always.

28/02/2026: Delicious food always, lovely staff and great service. I visit this restaurant regularly for dinner and I would totally recommend it.

09/10/2025: The place is mainly take away, but oh so delicious. What I loved most was that most of the food was dairy free. Something hard to come by in Dublin. Had the pea and watercress soup and it was so very delicious. Great smooth creamy and not overly salted ! Also had the sirloin sand which and it was very tasty with the truffle mayo. Which was light in feel, I could’ve had it with less mayo but I personally just don’t love mayo. Will have to return to try their other foods.

21/08/2025: Lovely place to have tea coffee and a bun.

10/03/2026: Very disappointing experience. We were charged an €18 service charge, yet the service was poor, two of our dishes were brought out incorrectly and overall it felt very unprofessional. There were five staff standing around while we were the only table for about 90 minutes, yet when I went to the bathroom there was no toilet roll, which says a lot about the attention to detail. The food was also very basic. I ordered chicken with potatoes and vegetables, but the “vegetables” turned out to be grated courgette and peppers blended into a sauce. When I asked where the vegetables were, I was told “that’s them in the bowl. Overall overpriced, poor service, and an €18 service charge that made absolutely no sense.

08/03/2026: The floor was filthy with old food crusted into the floor. The staff slammed our drinks on the table and the food was bad. My husband got a chicken dinner that was supposed to have carrots, peppers, onion and saffron….all he got was breast of chicken flattened with a small bit of carrot and a yellow sauce that tasted like chicken soup with butter for €21!! My lasagne which was €21 was dry and burnt on top. We only had that mains because the place was too loud with a group that was doing a cooking class. Will not be going there again. I don’t know who is giving 4/5star reviews.

22/12/2025: We get all of our Birthday Cakes from this bakery, they're always absolutely delicious. They always ask which way you want the cake, with a few different options of toppings, cream etc... Very friendly staff and the cakes are always very reasonably priced. I wouldn't go anywhere else for our Birthday Cakes.

21/09/2025: Lovely lady, delicious scones and soda bread

19/01/2026: Sadly it is closing down after 33 wonderful years....great people a huge loss to the local and community

03/12/2025: Food was nice but nothing spectacular. Extremely overpriced.

09/12/2025: Lovely cosy coffee shop. Friendly staff. Great location. Sit by the fire or up at the window watching everyone pass by.

06/12/2025: Great service Oisin, was fantastic, Adia, was also helpful

14/12/2025: The relaxed atmosphere of the bar. The friendly Latvian guy who worked as a bartender made my experience one of the best of my trip to Dublin.

17/11/2025: Vadims is the kindest barman we’ve ever met. His dedication to hospitality is unmatched. We came to this pub because of the reviews for how great he was and they absolutely did not disappoint. We were only in Dublin for 3 days but we managed to visit this pub 2/3 days due to his kindness. We wish him and his wife the absolute best in life as they are so deserving ❤️

10/03/2026: The bar menu is also available in the restaurant

08/03/2026: The food is OK pub grub, not great but OK. However the food is massively over priced for the quality, way over priced.

20/05/2025: Second time having my son’s birthday here, unfortunately I won’t be booking again. The man at reception was so lovely and helpful! But after that it went down hill, the party “host” was on his phone leaning against the wall while kids played bubble football for the full 45 mins. The only time he lifted his head off his phone was to help a child that called him to help with the bubble. I went back into the man In reception and asked was the hosting to do any games with the kids, after this he went out to talk to him . After that the “host” took all the lads to the party room, came back with food and then left. The staff in the bar and the man in reception were so lovely and helpful, but the party “host” had no interest to be there, let alone the party host. Please give the kids that are there for a party, your time and attention.

28/04/2025: Excellent service and a very friendly atmosphere staff are second to none always a pleasure to be there.

16/02/2026: Great spot, seating and on street parking available, nice coffee and brunch

12/02/2026: A rather unremarkable experience, the two girls behind the counter lacked people skills and chatted amongst themselves while one ate chips, a wrap and seemed more like she was a customer! That aside the food is average at best and the high prices do not reflect the quality one would expect. The local Chinese in Goatstown is far better value and the standard of food is much higher.

18/03/2026: Do not expect american standards of brisket. I can call it tender beef at best. For that reason the food I consider overpriced. Don’t get me wrong food is decent but not a proper brisket

15/03/2026: Amazing restaurant. Can very well beat many Kansas City style BBQ places in the states. The food was top notch and you get a free ice cream cone at the end of dinner. The staff was very friendly and attentive. A must stop. They're doing it right.

14/02/2026: If you are looking for the true irish/italian chipper experience, this is the place ! I SIMPLY LOVE IT !!!

31/12/2025: I've been going here since I was brought in by the paw over 40 years ago and it was a big treat then and I loved it then, listening to people being thrown around upstairs, same as my son does now and any of his pals lucky enough to be in tow. Authentic bit of Dublin, great food and the best people is what you'll get in Fuscos. We've a Christmas eve tradition going on in here and long may it last. It's a Liberties institution.
