The best restaurants in Dublin

09/12/2025: The donuts are obviously delicious but don't sleep on the Hot Chocolate! Melted Milk chocolate with milk and marshmallows. Perfection.

17/10/2025: Clueless staff is an understatement

18/11/2025: For years, the canoe centre has been my go-to supplier for all things kayaking, providing the essential gear for both my personal adventures and for the youth organisation I work for. I've bought everything from "tip to toe," and the level of service has never wavered. ​The staff are phenomenal first dealing with Shane & Ciaran to the last couple of years with Hugh they have consistently offered knowledgeable and supportive assistance. The online shop is very user-friendly, stocking strong, quality brands that focus on depth of quality. ​A recent experience highlights their exceptional commitment: When a package went missing after posting, the team at the canoe centre put my needs foremost and promptly dispatched a second package before the original was relocated by An Post. This kind of proactive, customer-first service is why I continue to go back. ​No matter the size of the purchase, I always feel valued and acknowledged. An absolutely stellar sales and support service. Highly recommended.

04/11/2025: Fantastic Level 2 Kayaking Course with Keith! Keith was amazing — patient, knowledgeable, and knew exactly when to push us (and when not to!). We (Carmel and Sarah) were the two oldest in the group, with one of us new to kayaking, but he made it fun, supportive, and full of laughs. The group was an added bonus — we’re now all on WhatsApp calling ourselves The Liffey Lickers! Can’t wait for our next river trip with Keith to build on everything we learned.

06/04/2026: A lovely spot for a cheeky pint on a sunny day, especially on the terrace. The pulled pork brioche is absolutely worth the hype!

27/03/2026: Whilst the food in this venue is really good the car park is a trap. Yesterday I went for a quick bite there. The parking is two euro an hour so I put in 3 euro as I had to leave after an hour and a half. I left on time but returned to the car to find it was clamped and on checking my ticket the machine had only given me an hour on the ticket. I had to pay 125 euro to get the clamp removed. I wont be going back. It appears the clamper is a permanent resident of the car park. 136 euro for a quick salad. Never taking that chance again.

20/12/2025: Great cakes, pastries, coffee and breakfast

14/12/2025: Excellent food! Portuguese people in Ireland feel at home at breakfast!

22/04/2026: Every time I come here the food and the service has been amazing. The food is always well prepared and perfectly cooked with fresh ingredients. The staff are lovely and they ensure you have everything you need. It’s a lovely quiet spot to have a chat or get some work done in a lovely location.

31/03/2026: Thanks for the wonderful food and service ye provide , I always pack up there for food going to Kerry games , and of course playing the Dubs.

16/11/2025: Best burger we’ve ever tried and the chips are amazing especially papis picante chips . New favourite takeaway !!

30/10/2025: Great food great sevice very nice workers reccomend to everyone.

28/11/2025: Gorgeous pints great service and beautiful old victorian style pub

10/09/2025: Great Guinness,friendly staff.Was my grandads local so went in to raise a Guinness or two for his anniversary.

04/03/2026: Great little local neighborhood pub. Large selection of beers on tap.

16/02/2026: Didn't serve me and my friends because we were "too young" all of us were of the legal age to drink however when I offered my id I was rejected and told to leave.

09/04/2026: Delicious Indian food and excellent service, highly recommended!

26/03/2026: I had originally said "Lovely foot! Highly recommended!" Now. Wow! The most dreadful food I have been unfortunate to buy. If I could give minus one million I would. Vegitable Samoa, tasted of ginger mashes potato and NO mixed VEGITABLE!!!!! MAIN was Bombay potato. Tasted powder gravy, NOT LIKE ANY OTHER VEGITABLE SAMOSA OR BOMBAY POTATO I've EVER HAD BEFORE. I've made better myself. It seems, as I'm a white Irish middle aged woman, who didn't know what I was ordering. - Not true. I've worked in Indian restaurants for over ten years, and lived with an Indian man, for a number of years, who's a very good cook. This was a very unpleasant experience. I will never recommend this restaurant!!!!! Zero!!!!

06/07/2025: I had the fish & chips special, which was delicious, along with a glass of cava. The two went great together. Also tried a mango / passion fruit tart, which was amazing! The place is cozy and the service is great. Had a lovely time!

04/07/2025: I saw the summer special for fish and chips and a glass of cava for €26 and decided to try it. The service from when we got there was great. We placed our order and the food was out in under 10 minutes. 2 cods were on the plate but I’d say the star of the dish was the tartar sauce never had anything like it and the fish was super crispy. 10/10 would recommend and the cava pairing worked really well!

12/04/2026: Very disappointed with the quality of breakfast (fry) I had here in past day (April 26). I was hungry, didn’t mind paying extra for extra items, as I was expecting high quality food. The sausages had to be left behind; such the grease and soggy texture… same with the white pudding. The fried potatoes were covered in seasoning that made them not taste like potatoes anymore, likewise with the mushrooms. Overloaded with seasoning, cheap quality food. This has been a resent development I feel as it was always a place i associated with quality food, cooked well and presented well. Now it’s no more than greasy, over priced, over-seasoned slob of a place. Won’t be back. Thank you.

12/04/2026: Nice lunch as always, but the food was a little bit cool, the vegetables a bit watery. Also, the music wasn’t up to scratch as it used to be much more either traditional Irish or traditional jazz now it was just a couple of very young guys playing mainstream Radiohead and what not.. missing the more cultural aspect.

02/04/2026: Kennedy's in Raheny is a regular favorite spot. It's a great place to grab breakfast, brunch or lunch. Food and coffee are delish and the staff are all lovely.

10/02/2026: I’m disappointed they got rid of the changing table for babies. The staff are really lovely and helpful.

24/04/2026: Great atmosphere but the money over the bar is growing black mould and has flies, it’s really off putting I assume it’s because it’s near the dishwasher and the money gets damp due to the steam when it’s opened. But it’s very unpleasant when you’re sat at the bar and have 100 notes in-front of you almost half covered in black mould.

24/04/2026: Touristy but still good fun and fair pricing given the location and the target audience. Upstairs has a nice vibe as well where you can have a smoke on an outside Terrace and still hear the music from downstairs. Surprisingly clean bathrooms.

12/04/2026: Food was quite good , service good and the decour was really fun. Lovely atmosphere .

01/04/2026: We were there on Sunday for dinner time and had a great experience. Valentina, our waitress look after us, she made us laugh and feel like home. She recommended us beef and Guinness pie and we were not disappointed! We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back.

13/11/2025: The Highlight is the DJ Everton! Please, we need another New Year Party in Zayton with this spectacular DJ!!!!

06/11/2025: Prices are a little high but the quality of the food is good. I always come back here and enjoy fully.
