The best restaurants in Dublin

11/12/2025: Lovely coffee but my god please use something other than post its to keep track of orders. Second time this week my post it “fell” as i was told and multiple people who arrived after me got their coffees first, honestly twice in 4 days is insane, of course theyre going to fly away opening the windows to gusts of wind mid winter, very frustrating when in a rush for work! lovely staff however and they deal with it well!

17/11/2025: My favourite coffee place for the past year. Unfortunately, today the coffee was bad. This morning the cappuccino with extra shot was bitter and watery. They need to check the espresso machine.

16/02/2026: We recently had our wedding reception at Stephens Green Club, and from the moment we first viewed the venue and met Helen and Rita, we knew it was the perfect place for us. From day one, our experience was absolutely top class. Everything was handled with such professionalism and care — from the initial quotes and menu tasting to the table décor and every detail in between. Rita was incredible throughout the entire process. She guided us every step of the way, making what could have been a stressful experience feel easy and enjoyable. Her communication was always prompt, clear, and reassuring, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The venue itself is stunning, elegant, and full of character, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful it was and how amazing the food and service were. We are so grateful to Helen, Rita, and the entire team for making our wedding reception truly unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend Stephens Green Club more highly. Lorna and Edel

08/01/2026: I recently photographed a gorgeous wedding at The Stephen’s Green Club and I couldn’t have loved the experience more. The venue is elegant and full of character, right in the heart of the city, with beautiful rooms that photograph so well throughout the day. The staff are truly exceptional. I absolutely LOVE working with them. They were welcoming, attentive, calm and incredibly well organised, making the whole day feel effortless. Their care for the couple and for everyone involved really stood out and created such a relaxed, happy atmosphere. I would happily recommend The Stephen’s Green Club to couples looking for a classic Dublin venue with warmth and personality, and to fellow suppliers who value working with a brilliant team. An absolute joy from start to finish.

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!

13/03/2026: I have been going to Sandymount house regularly since 1992. I used to work in Quinnsworth in 1992/93/94. I enjoyed the pub especially when Leinster Rugby , Irish soccer and Irish rugby play at Lansdowne or Aviva. The bar men past/present are very friendly, and courteous. I recommend this beautiful pub. Top notch pub.

07/03/2026: A clean, traditional clean pub that favours locals and not passing trade. Despite this, the drink is decent.

02/03/2026: Initially we just went there after arriving in Dublin for a quick lunch, but the food was so extraordinary good that we came back a second time at the end of our trip to get it again. really really good food!

27/02/2026: Awesome food and awesome service

04/03/2026: Quick and easy stop, food was nice and tasty.

04/03/2026: They let the deliveries waiting every day, the orders are never ready, its ridicolous.

14/12/2025: Old, cosy traditional pub, with genuinely nice staff (shout out to young dark haired bartender who had the patience of a saint). Great buzzy atmosphere. Will call again!

05/12/2025: The Lord Edward made it onto my “Dublin Pub Crawl” list thanks to a bartender at the Guinness Gravity Bar who swore it had a great pint of Guinness and insisted we check out the upstairs. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the upstairs was closed. Still no idea what is up there or why it was recommended. This is a small pub with a unique bar layout and plenty of age behind it. And by “age,” I mean it has not seen a remodel in a very, very long time. The men’s room is basically just a wall with a drain on the floor (which I found highly amusing), and according to the bartenders, the women’s bathroom used to be a broom closet that was converted once women were allowed into pubs. That alone tells you everything you need to know about how much this place has changed over the years. Very authentic and cool in its own way. We stopped in late on a Thursday night. The crowd was wrapping up, so we managed two rounds before last call. The bartenders signal last call the old school way, by flicking the lights on and off. Gave me a good laugh. As for the pint… it was okay. One bartender knew what he was doing and poured a proper Guinness. The other poured it the way Americans do when they have no idea what they are doing, and he did it consistently. I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Lord Edward and got plenty of laughs out of the whole experience. The company was great and the pub absolutely has character. Now, if we can only get that one bartender on board with pouring Guinness correctly… We still want to know what is upstairs.

21/03/2026: Great Instagram place to relax after a walk at Dublin downtown. They have tons of souvenirs

20/03/2026: Very nice but a bit outdated. There are only a few public restrooms and they don't cost much, but they do cost money.

12/11/2025: Came into the city to specifically try this place . I would describe it as average . The food was ok , portions not huge , Weather its value for money im not sure. The description of fresh pork and fresh beef is a bit of a stretch. Its tasty but id be surprised if its cooked fresh every day , that said i could be wrong . No real complaints , if you were walking past it might be worth popping in but for me its not a return destination . The Bakery part of the establishment doesnt overly impress by presentation or impression of freshly baked goods but the blueberry muffin we bought was delicious and extremely fresh tasting , if i thought the other produce tasted as good i would have bought more, its mostly in pre packed in bags so it didnt look appealing but the muffin was excellent. We were the only ones there so wouldn't judge the atmosphere . The welcome was functional rather than friendly. Asked to take some of the meal home as we didn't finish it , provided with a plastic bag . As it contained a lot of sauce I understand a box wouldn't work but in our local Japanese restaurant charging similar prices for far superior food , they put it in a plastic bowl . I think there is a gap in the market for Filipino restaurant/ diner but this place at its current location , charging what it does , I don't think will last . They'd be better off selling it as fast food out of a mobile unit at pop up locations .

04/11/2025: Great food and nice staff, very hard to find a place like this in Dublin

04/12/2025: Great pub, far bigger than it looks. They host record sales a few times a year which are brilliant, overall great spot

27/11/2025: Love this place!!! Food is delicious and reasonable price. Staff always present and kind. Only small thing I didn't like too much. When is full it is too noisy.

19/12/2025: The best pub ever I’ve ever been too. To double down on this !! This is the best establishment I’ve ever been too!!! In my friends words ”this place is just a slice of paradise” I can’t exercise enough, this is the best place on planet earth

13/11/2025: Smashing Guinness. Great service. Normal price.

19/10/2025: Had an awesome night at Jackies in Dublin. Good music and the drinks and food were fantastic. Big shoutout to Danielle, she kept our glasses full the whole time and even after our booked slot ended, she hustled to find us a nice spot. Really nice girl, made the night one to remember.

14/10/2025: Incredible pub with a great theme and atmosphere. Conor is an incredible bartender and a huge asset to the team. Great cocktails and service all night.

04/10/2025: Great prices, and it filled me up. Would recommend.

02/09/2025: Delicous and makes you full. Thanks, we will come again :). In the Pic you see the Chicken curry.

27/12/2025: Got a takeaway. The mushroom toast & french toast are delicious. The staff are friendly & helpful. Sit-in area is clean, comfy & calm. I'll definitely be a return customer

05/10/2025: This is a gem of a place, little tricky to get to, but worth it . Attentive friendly staff, well presented and tasty food along with a lovely atmosphere . The pancakes are amazing and they have a great deal on toasties . We will visit again!
