The best restaurants in Dublin

13/09/2026: Seeing AI images to promote their food really made me loose my appetite.

06/09/2026: Ailing was amazing, super helpful with choices :)

01/09/2026: Excellent selection for such a small shop

29/08/2026: I went on a Saturday and it was raided

08/09/2026: Got takeaway and did the “make your own” sandwich. It was amazing. I’m so happy I got to experience the Irish griolladh.

02/09/2026: The coffee was below average, but the rest was decent.

25/07/2026: Coffee was good but the "cheesy minster" I ordered had clearly been microwaved as the outside was hot but the middle cold. There was a bike blocking the ramp inside the shop, 2 members of staff were on a break so service was slow. Really disappointed.

19/06/2026: Limited seating but breakfast was delicious

08/08/2026: The chef’s choice menu was amazing, although the halibut was less flavorful than the rest of the dishes, and we enjoyed sitting at the counter and watching preparation. Service was friendly and professional.

20/07/2026: Lovely place, the service was very good and the food was great !

13/09/2026: Went in for my breakfast with two friends and had some delicious pancakes while my friends got the eggs on avocado toast which were also fab! Was a bit quiet when we were in but will definitely be back!!

31/08/2026: The staff were very nice however the food was appalling and myself and my partner can’t believe we paid 13€ for each sandwich. The avocado was brown, chicken hard, we asked for no peppers and got them. Cheese smelt rotten. Worst thing I’ve eaten in a while. I’m a student and 13€ is a lot of money to spend on a sandwich already, but it being that bad, we left extremely disappointed. Wouldn’t go there ever again. We went here about 6 months ago and it was lovely , chef must have been changed over…

13/05/2026: Experience the ultimate Dublin city break at The 5 Star Fitzwilliam Hotel, perfectly positioned on St. Stephen's Green. Known fondly as 'The Fitz,' this destination property sits at the top of Grafton Street, 5 minute stroll to Trinity College; with instant access to Dublin City's best shopping, dining, and cultural gems. Once inside, you're greeted with a warm, genuine welcome that positively reflects this design-led property. Featuring the Michelin-starred Glovers Alley by Chef Andy McFadden, the hotel offers a lovely blend of tradition and modern comforts, with the Luas tram (Dundrum Shopping Centre) line right outside the hotel's door. This has to be Dublin's friendliest and most charming hotel. Enjoy..! ❤️

10/05/2026: Lovely modern hotel, great bar, great location

19/09/2026: Very nice chicken burgers, the tenders a good aswell. Quality of the chicken is really good. My only complaint is if your menu says kimchi, use bloody kimchi. Or rename the dish as gochujang cheese fries cause thats what it is.

16/09/2026: Incredible - I got the spice bag burger , it came with Chinese style curry sauce on the side , a meal of a burger . Unreal

11/09/2026: Small Greek restaurant with a limited selection. Long wait for the food, but otherwise fine. This was indicated beforehand, though. Staff was friendly. No Greek beer.

11/09/2026: Beautiful food and wonderful service.

31/08/2026: Went on a Saturday night for drinks with friends. Great traditional pub with a good atmosphere.

04/08/2026: Came here with a stag group on a Saturday evening pre and post meal. Got to say just an absolute joy of a place that I’ll remember. Proper chatting pub with friendly bar staff that greet you with a pleasant smile and welcome. Lovely patrons that were happy to chat away and recommend places we should visit later in the evening. And a lovely pint of the black stuff. I hope to be back some day

23/09/2026: Very tasty. Giant steak with an even bigger portion of french fries. There's no place to sit, you have to grab it and go to eat on the street. Depending on how hungry you are, it's enough to share over two people.

19/09/2026: Awesome fish & chips served warmly with generous vinegar and salt, if you want it. Is just by the Christchurch cathedral and is just takeaway which made me re-consider going but glad I did. Had it in the small park around 50m (Peace park) in nice sunshine. The fish was absolutely fresh crusty on the outside but soft and delicious on the inside. Chips were nice

20/07/2026: An excellent casual lunch spot with a relaxed atmosphere, and far better than you might expect from a museum café. We visited while exploring the Chester Beatty and found it to be one of the pleasant surprises of our time in Dublin. The menu offers a tempting range of Middle Eastern-inspired dishes, with plenty of fresh, vibrant flavours. Everything we ordered was well prepared and satisfying, showing that this is much more than a convenient place to grab a quick bite. There is also an impressive selection of cakes and sweet treats, making it an ideal place to linger over coffee after lunch. The café has a bright, welcoming feel and provides a welcome break from sightseeing. Whether you’re stopping in before or after visiting the museum, it’s a relaxing place to unwind without feeling rushed. The staff were friendly and efficient, helping create a warm and enjoyable experience from the moment we arrived. Service was prompt, and the whole venue felt well organised despite being quite popular. Even if you have no particular interest in visiting the Chester Beatty, this café is worth seeking out for the food alone. It’s an excellent example of how a museum café can exceed expectations, offering fresh, flavourful food in a comfortable setting. I’d happily return on a future visit to Dublin, both for another meal and to sample more of the delicious cakes.

28/06/2026: Not immediately obvious to passers-by this cosy cafe with calm and laidback atmosphere sits in a bright atrium-style space inside the Chester Beatty Gallery building. It serves Middle Eastern and Mediterranean-inspired food, including Palestinian moussaka, Moroccan tagine, various salads, and daily specials, along with something sweet like homemade cakes & baklava. Vegan and gluten-free options are available. Our choice: Meat moussaka and chicken with rice Check for two (only mains, tap water provided): 33 EUR Overall verdict: 8/10 — a good option for a quick, healthy, and hearty lunch, but not somewhere I would go specifically go unless I was already visiting the museum. And definitely a must do after visiting the Chester Beatty exhibitions.

13/08/2026: Lovely staff, lovely food, no problem getting items off menu. Thanks a million Brendan's!

25/07/2026: Good old classic Café, get your fry-ups and coffee here. Lovely breakfast, absolute best in the area, good pricing but limited seating so get there early. Very convenient.
