The best restaurants in Dublin

18/04/2026: Quite disappointed, I went in really excited trying out this pub I’ve been wanting to go for a while. I asked politely if I’m allowed inside with my dog, they told me no. They didn’t ask my order so I went outside waiting for someone to come outside since I wasn’t allowed inside with my dog. Waited 30 minutes and then just left not having got the chance to try anything. I think it would’ve been nice to say “I’ll take your order here now and bring it out to you” while I was inside, or come outside to take my order. There is a cafe in Blackrock that has a sign saying “dogs allowed for ordering inside”.

30/12/2025: Lovely atmosphere, good beer and if you are walking with the dog water and dog snacks in the smoking area out front, oh and the pizzas are lovely.

05/05/2026: Overpriced. I ordered the nigiri omakase for dinner and it was 33€ and only 7 pieces!!! They didn't disclose that on the menu. Not even a miso soup complimentary. It was definitely not enough, and for 33€ I expect at least to be full. The quality of the sushi was ok by Western standards but below average by Japanese standards. The Burger King across the street had double cheeseburgers for 3.5€ and I guess you could buy 10 of those for 7 pieces of sushi here. Would not come back here.

03/04/2026: Wow, wow, wow! A fantastic discovery. A must stop if you are a sushi fan and visit Dublin. The staff's attention is excellent, above 10! Friendly, attentive, nice. He welcomed us with a hot tea. We ordered a second round of food and he gave us two more tempura prawns, since there were 5 of us and the reactions are three units. The food is of excellent quality and made with love. We highly recommend it, so hopefully we can come back soon. Thank you very much for everything! :)

24/05/2026: We enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea here with family! The service was fabulous, as was the atmosphere. The sweets were especially delicious, and we also really enjoyed the scones/banana bread.

14/04/2026: Went last Saturday with my three girlfriends celebrating my friends engagement! Had such a lovely afternoon service. The staff were lovely and informative, attention to detail was immaculate. Highly recommend. My servers name was Karla I believe, couldn't praise her highly enough.

06/04/2026: The food tastes brilliant. Friendly staff

06/04/2026: It was so good that i had no photos to share with ya'll here because it was finished that quick.

07/04/2025: Pool, darts and a jukebox what more do you want🍻

06/04/2025: Back open and still the best pint in lucan

08/11/2025: Never been to Dalkey before. Great place. Make sure you try it.

29/09/2025: A friendly coffee shop with good light food options. A very popular spot in Dalkey, great outdoor seating.

03/05/2026: We had a frustrating experience at a restaurant in Ireland that’s advertised as open until 11 PM. We walked in at 8:30 and were told they were “closed,” even though plenty of people were still inside eating. The interaction felt cold and dismissive, and it honestly seemed like once they realized we were American, they just didn’t want to serve us. To make it more confusing, the bar downstairs told us they were open and sent us upstairs for food, only to be turned away. It left us feeling unwelcome and disappointed.

02/05/2026: Everything is ok. The food is much tastier in Romania.

02/06/2026: The employees are joyful! This is a good environment to relax, enjoy the chill music and people watch. My new fav coffee shop!

21/05/2026: Very nice spot to grab a coffee and recharge. Baristas are super friendly and the pastry selection is varied and fresh.

07/06/2026: Beautiful place to enjoy and spend free time 😍 Thanks to staff for the service ❤️

05/06/2026: Good food at good prices. Sometimes you have to wait but it’s worth it.

14/03/2026: Dharmendra he is so good at the lobby and he is really respectful

14/03/2026: We had good service from Dharmendra. Graet guy. Must visit

24/12/2025: Nice food, good value, friendly staff, good music, would visit again.

23/12/2025: I would like to say everything was real great, but Armando’s customer service was most pleasant part and me with my girlfriend definitely will be back :) Thank you, Julius

14/06/2026: I've been twice and it was amazing both times. The service was excellent, and the soufflé pancakes were the best I've ever had—super fluffy, light, and full of flavour. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommended! 😊

14/06/2026: Usually full in the weekends. One of the best for bubble tea with a full food menu for breakfast and lunch

01/06/2026: By far, this was our best dining experience during our time in Dublin. I had the best chowder of my life and the main dishes exceeded expectations. Most notably, my husband ordered the sole, and it was the best seafood we both had ever eaten. We were also able to sit at the bar and see our meals being prepared. It was a wonderful dinner experience, and next time we’re in Dublin, we’ll be visiting again. Thank you!

01/06/2026: This was an amazing experience. For only the second time having oysters I have to say I’m really enjoying them more and more. This restaurant has very fresh oysters and many ways prepared. I definitely enjoyed them. Also the normal fish was very fresh tasting. Absolutely one of the greatest places to eat.

04/06/2026: Brilliant restaurant, Food exquisite Staff friendly and excellent Highly recommend Barry Healy

31/05/2026: Very nice place, really quiet and professional. Food is very tasty, a bit expensive

14/06/2026: Only stopped at the bar for drinks, but what a lovely place! My alcohol-free beverage (called 'Red & Green') was amazing - so very, very tasty. Hubby had a Guinness, of course, even at 10:30am. Our bartender was friendly and attentive, and continued prepping for the day seamlessly. We hope to go back for a meal before heading home to the States. Edit: we did indeed go back for dinner, and it was heavenly! I had gnocchietti in a very light, very flavorful red sauce and my husband had the pan-fried sea Bream. We shared an amazing starter of cucumber & cantaloupe strips with red currants & a yummy vinaigrette. Service again was superb. Definitely a place to keep in mind!

15/02/2026: I didn't know this place existed in the Dean, nice atmosphere, nice layout, staff were friendly and efficient, a nice selection of food. Pricey, but normal for dublin. It lost marks for me as myself and my friend ordered 2 jameson and ginger ale. The whiskey was definitely watered down, I could barely taste the whiskey. This was the same with both of them. My other friends ordered cocktails and there was more ice than anything. So, food was great, drinks not so great, probably won't go there again because of this or if i do I will order beer.
