The best restaurants in Dublin

27/07/2025: Lovely meal in the pines and the ladies who served us were friendly and efficient.

27/06/2025: Great pub with friendly staff and very good food. A lovely place to meet up with friends and enjoy a good atmosphere.

06/07/2025: Staff were nice and friendly but I found inside the venue too hot. The hallway had air con but not the main room. The bathroom wasn't clean or up to standard. The bin was a bag on the ground. I slipped on wet tissue at the sink area. My ticket said seating though the limited seats were taking when we arrived so we had to stand for over 2 hours. We actually left before it was over for that reason

26/06/2025: A quite oasis from the noise at the other pubs in temple

13/07/2025: For the prices charged, both the service and basic table requirements were unfortunately missing e.g. meals arrived but no cutlery was provided .. until requested!! Try Eating crab claws doused in garlic butter, with the only facility provided being a single very poor quality paper napkin. We had to ask for a finger bowl and more napkins! The quality of the fish and oysters were however good. The fish of the day stated that it included garlic and butter asparagus. This was disappointingly not actually provided.

11/07/2025: We just went to the restaurant but the waiters were incredibly lovely and helpful. Got us a table and some space even though it was all full. Food was fast and really good.

29/07/2025: I don't live in this area. I went into the cafe by chance, but was very pleased with the pleasant atmosphere and excellent service. The smile and pleasant conversation of the guy from Brazil brightened up the lack of sun and cloudy weather! A great start to the day!

18/07/2025: Avant la visite de l’EPIC Muséum, nous nous sommes arrêtés pour manger un fish and chips. Belle adresse pour cela. Avec une pinte de bière pression IPA. Bon le rapport qualité-prix est moyen car l’addition s’est élevée à 68 euros services inclus (pourboire) pour deux. Mais bon, nous n’emmènerons pas nos économies au cimetière. !😂

01/07/2025: Justyna served us for lunch on the 25th of June. She explained the menu, and suggested lunch and drink options. She was very cheerful and eager to help as much as possible as this was our first time at the restaurant. We enjoyed our meal and we thought the atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly. We will definitely be back! 😀

07/07/2025: Food is always absolutely beautiful, and the staff are always great, really friendly and helpful. I wouldnt pass this place, never have any complaints coming here!

17/06/2025: Very fine and cozy place to sit and enjoy your drink. Nice food is available. Very friendly and helping staff who keeps the place as it seems. Very nice ambience to sit and relax your evenings....

14/07/2025: Went for dinner today, lovely place and great staff, but the oil for the fryers should have been changed a few days ago. Everyone else enjoyed their dinner so no other complaints :)

13/07/2025: I’ve visited this place around 10 times, and as always, the food and atmosphere are consistently great. However, the service continues to be disappointing. During our recent visit, we ordered drinks which took 40 minutes to arrive — and that too only after reminding the staff twice. When we requested a repeat of the drink while we were still eating, it was brought to us only after we had already received the bill. To make it worse, we were charged for the drinks even though they were served after billing. This kind of service really takes away from an otherwise enjoyable experience.

13/06/2025: Beautiful coffee shop....toasties, ice-cream and great coffee

18/05/2025: Mackeys Coffee Shop, nestled just outside the gates of Donadea Forest, is a must-visit gem. The staff’s warm, friendly vibe makes every visit feel welcoming. Their coffee is rich and expertly crafted—paired perfectly with their decadent, creamy ice cream. Don’t miss barista Caroline’s award-winning frappes; she’s the reigning champ of Ireland’s 2025 Frappe Making Award! Whether you’re refueling after a forest stroll or craving a sweet treat, Mackeys delivers with charm and quality. A delightful spot that’s well worth the stop!

02/08/2025: This was soo my jam. It was just what I needed after a full day of cycling. Fresh, dense, saucy salads with various vegan options. So good, I had to have two mains. I really hope this chain finds it way to the UK 🇬🇧 🙏 I would have gone full-blown 5 stars if it wasn’t for the blunt and somewhat rude staff.

27/07/2025: Love the food so much. Great salads. This branch has good amount of seating downstairs and outhas good

24/07/2025: €20 for some chips & two mediocre tacos that contained a grand total of 4 small prawns.

04/07/2025: Very cosy and cute neighbourhood restaurant, lovely food and a great selection of wines. The service was very nice, the staff was very cheeful and kind.

22/05/2025: Lovely spot that serves a great matcha latte.

25/02/2025: Enjoyed a meal here for Sunday lunch, I had the roast beef, which was delicious real good cut, my wife had fillet of cod which was also lovely, service was also good and the atmosphere nice also but the big letdown was the price of a glass of wine, €13.50, absolute robbery thus the 3 stars, can’t understand for the life of me how that price can be justified for a glass of wine

07/12/2024: Excelente comida, servicio, menú y ambiente. Éramos una fiesta de 20 personas y recomendaría este restaurante

03/07/2025: The best management and nice pizza shop

31/05/2025: It was amazing best pizza ever delicious quick service workers ever

22/07/2025: Very happy with our stay. Availed of their summer discount offer which meant our 2 night stay was very good value. Room was nice and very clean. Bar food was good and acceptably priced. Staff were excellent I have to say. Would I stay again? Absolutely.

20/07/2025: I was on a business trip, so I only spent 2 days there, but I can assure you that’s a very good hotel. Rooms are big and beautiful. The bed is extremely comfortable and the bathroom is very spacious. Everything was neat and tidy when I got there. The location is the only con of it. There isn’t anything around it, since it’s a residential neighborhood and it is very car-centric one. You can take the bus back to Dublin’s city centre and that should take you 30 minutes to get there, though. The only close to it is an overpriced Circle K. So if you aren’t driving and forgot to buy anything in the city centre, you’re pretty much screwed. That isn’t the hotel’s fault, though. And my experience there was 10/10. No complaints.

08/07/2025: Engagement Party in the Whisky Room! We would like to start off and say a massive thank you to you and the team for a perfectly executed night! Your facilities and team were 10/10 in all areas. We would like to thank the two bar staff on duty, Rafael and Tom for the excellent service they carried out throughout the whole evening. We would also like to thank Paul, the GM for the comp’d bottle of Moet! It was not expected and set off the evening in a classy fashion. After talking to all our guests, they all agreed that the venue, specifically the whiskey room, was a perfect size for the group booking (about 40 people)! It was very clean with easy access to the toilets and smoking area out the back. Carrying on with the shout outs…..Shannan ensured that the booking went very smoothly and you are very lucky to have her work for you. After talking to the team, we understood she’s new to her position and if we didn’t know any better, we would have assumed she was part of the company for years with her demonstration of knowledge and professionalism! Shannan was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome from the very first steps of the booking, which definitely swayed our way of choosing this location for the engagement party!! Also, we would like to thank, Lisa, the head of marketing. Again, super friendly and very professional. We bumped into her on the stairs at the back of the venue and randomly got chatting. She’s a great character with huge charisma! Finally, to wrap up the shoutouts, we would like to thank Tang for helping us retrieve the engagement gifts! He was very attentive and ensured we got every last one. Our friend even lost his jumper and house keys and Tang was able to find them for us in minutes! Again, he’s a great character and had great banter with us on “day 2” (hungover and collecting presents haha). Thank you so so much, The “newly engaged”, Ciara and Donough

28/06/2025: Tonight I experienced a really rude bar girl, I tried to order two vodkas and black current she said no black current so I gave an alternative and she ran the card machine before i could finish my sentence, i asked and could i get a glass of sauvignon blanc too please and she cursed at me slammed the vodkas in-front of me and the card machine to pay, I left very upset I have nothing but respect for people that work in service and for someone to talk to me like that makes me never want to return
