The best restaurants in Dublin

23/09/2025: Can’t say this was good, but the person making the food was really nice.

21/09/2025: So good we went twice in one day! Highly recommend!

31/10/2025: Popped in for a couple of pints before the Leinster vs Munster game at Croke Park. Good beer. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Good beer!

28/10/2025: Just the place we were after! Great atmosphere and spacious around the table. Music playing and fridges available if you BYOB!

09/06/2026: This is a traditional fish and chips place. However, the batter is simple and lacks flavor, even though the fish itself is properly cooked. The quantity of chips is generous. They provide a variety of different sauces on the side. The seating arrangement is simple, featuring tables for two.

08/06/2026: Great atmosphere with Tasty food.

15/06/2026: Visited the newly refurbished pub yesterday and was very impressed by the new bar and beer garden. The staff and drink menu were excellent. We ordered a few items from the food menu and all were served quickly and delicious. Great addition to the area.

15/06/2026: Wow. Well done. Emily is an asset, your secret weapon. Place looks amazing and staff are so helpful, friendly and willing to help. My new favourite place. Very well done. Absolutely love the board games. Ensure your customers return in the way they took them at the end of each night. Delighted for you all.

12/04/2026: A little slice of Italy in the heart of Dublin. Excellent quality products and a typical southern Italian welcome! Everything was perfect.

09/04/2026: We hosted a company team building event here and to say we enjoyed ourselves is an understatement! The team went above and beyond to get us all involved and laughing! Would highly recommend

30/07/2025: Good staff really understand staffed on a Tuesday

08/07/2025: If you’re looking for a place where live music truly comes alive, look no further than 4 Dame Lane! Recently crowned the Best Live Entertainment Bar of the Year 2024, this venue has earned its reputation for a reason. From the moment you step inside, you can feel the vibrant energy. The first thing that struck me was how welcoming the staff were. We were practically pulled in off the street by the infectious sounds and lively ambiance. It’s clear that they genuinely care about creating an unforgettable experience for their guests. The warm reception set the tone for what turned out to be an incredible night. The live music lineup is nothing short of spectacular. I highly recommend checking out “Midnight Mischief” on Thursdays from 12 to 2:30 am for a night of dancing and fun. And if you’re around on Sundays, “The Church of Scully” from 11 pm to 1:30 am is a must-see! The talent on stage is top-notch, and the energy in the room is electric. But it’s not just about the music—4 Dame Lane excels in every aspect of hospitality. Their cocktails are expertly crafted, and the attentive table service makes you feel like a VIP. It’s evident that the team goes above and beyond to ensure that every guest has a fantastic time. I'd say that quality service here isn’t just about meeting expectations; it’s about exceeding them. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a long day or celebrate a special occasion, 4 Dame Lane is the perfect spot. With its lively atmosphere, exceptional service, and award-winning live music, you’re guaranteed to have a belter of a time. Don’t miss out on this gem in the heart of the city—make it your go-to destination for a night out!

18/05/2026: I went based on the good reviews. I must have caught them on a bad night. I wanted jamon more than anything. I ordered a small meat/cheese board, only to learn that they were out my meat, which seems ludicrous for a Spanish tapas restaurant. I also ordered piquillo peppers stuffed with monkish. They were very tasty, but for the price, I expected a bit more food. The service was very pleasant. I was asked to pay in cash. Credit card machine down…? Overall, not great value for money. I chose not to order more, because portions were small. Left hungry.

15/05/2026: The food was very good, and the service and location were fantastic!

25/04/2026: Great location and side tables on the street great for a sunny day. The service is great and we enjoyed the coffee

16/04/2026: Very good food, service and value.

08/06/2026: Many screens, great chicken burger. Many types of beer.

04/06/2026: Football pub. We watched the last Bundesliga matchday here during our stay in Dublin. Actually, several Germans had the same idea! 😃 I can't comment on the food, as we didn't eat anything. You had to get your drinks at the bar. The atmosphere and vibe were great!

16/05/2026: simple things in life proper Italian cafe

09/05/2026: Five of us stopped for a coffee which was delicious, with great service and they were very friendly 😊

04/06/2026: The pasta was absolutely delicious, and my children loved it very much. We will definitely come back again in the future.

02/06/2026: Food was great. Spotlessly clean. Very professional service who were amazingly attentive but not intrusive. 3 adults and 2 kids.

16/05/2026: I would give this place minus stars if I could. Would not recommend. Myself and my girlfriend were denied entry because the bouncer claimed “she’s too drunk” — despite the fact we had literally just come from dinner and were absolutely fine. To make it even more ridiculous, we came back about 20 minutes later and got in with no issue at all, which completely proves there was never a problem in the first place. Then later that evening, as we were leaving, one of the bouncers said to us “How the …. did you get in? Ye chancer.” Absolutely terrible behavior from someone whose job is meant to be maintaining safety and professionalism. Instead of targeting normal customers for no reason and acting like a bully, maybe focus on the people who are actually causing problems. Completely unnecessary attitude, arrogance, and abuse of what little authority they think they have. Won’t be returning.

08/05/2026: Excellent bar in the heart of Dublin. Fabulous surroundings & great atmosphere.

19/05/2026: Stopped by for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by how many choices they had. There was a bit of everything - hot dishes, noodles, sushi, grilled items, and plenty of desserts. The food tasted good overall, and I liked that the portions were generous without feeling rushed. The dessert area was definitely one of the highlights, especially for anyone who likes to try a little bit of everything. The restaurant itself felt spacious and comfortable, with enough seating even during a busy time. Staff were polite and kept things moving smoothly. Overall, it’s a nice place for a relaxed meal, especially if you’re coming with family or friends and everyone wants different options. I’d come back again for sure!

19/05/2026: My family and I went to eat at Global and we were very disappointed with the quality of the food. The shrimp are not cooked well they are undercooked , actually all the food is not cooked well

11/11/2025: I stopped in to grab a hot drink on my way to a job interview and it was so lovely. Staff were so lovely, greeted me genuinely, made interesting conversation with me. The inside is homey, a litter bit cluttered (which I love) and entirely community orientated. A lovely hot chocolate too!

05/11/2025: 5 star food. 5 star staff. This restaurant is a hidden gem, stumbled on this restaurant yesterday, so glad I found this place, the service and food was top class. Very busy but service was still very efficient. Restaurant is spotless. If you're in this area, give it a try, you won't be disappointed also priced very reasonable
