The best restaurants in Dublin

07/04/2026: The food was great, the location was also great. The jukebox doesnt work tho

14/03/2026: Good was delicious and fresh. The lady serving me was so friendly and helpful.

02/04/2026: I visited Yamamori for a Sake Tasting masterclass, so a bit of a special event. The location is very interesting but also a bit confusing: dark, with nice decorations on the walls but also posters around dancing, which is not what you would expect from a place where one has dinner. I think it makes for a pretty cool location for dancing though! We had 5 courses paired with 5 different sakes while the host told us facts and anecdotes about the rice drink. The first course was a bit underwhelming as it was edamame. Good but standard. I was then later delighted to find unagi prepared that way. The only place I have found in Ireland so far that serves it! I loved the takoyaki, I already had it twice before, one in Osaka and one in Tokyo and both times I had found them just meh. Yamamori one instead was delicious. Very interesting the Katsuo tataki. One for those who loved smoked food. Finally the icecream mixed with the Umeshu was a great final sweet treat. I appreciated that at the end of the meal we were all given a parting gift with Japanese food products. Will definitely go back again to try a "normal" dinner! ADD: we went back for a jazz night and found the music to be of very good quality. We had 2 cocktails and found the particularly tasty. We were impressed by the food that was rich and yet we couldn't taste every individual ingredient. A bit pricey, but worth it.

22/02/2026: Very bad experience. My friend from London experienced racism at the hands of two bouncers. When we inquired with the management about what the problem was, my friend was told he looked ‘obnoxious’. Do not come here.

18/04/2026: Food was very average for the price, no taste off the guac. We shocked to see a big service charge on our table of 4 and extra drinks added we didn’t order along with a suggested tip at the end on top of the service charge. We asked them to remove it and they did thankfully. Staff weren’t very pleasant and gave us a look when we didn’t want to order 3 of the starters each even though 2 was plenty. spicy Margs were gorgeous but overall extremely overpriced bland food I wouldn’t be back.

17/04/2026: Loved it! Great service, great food and the staff is brilliant 🙌🏻

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.

28/09/2025: Our party of 9 had a table booked for main course only tonight. Service was quick, friendly and efficient. The menu had a great range and everyone found something interesting to order. Upstairs a live jazz band was playing which added to the atmosphere, but didn’t overwhelm the conversation at our table. When the food arrived it got a unanimous thumbs up. Throughout the meal our server Bianca regularly checked up on us to make sure all was well and that the drinks were kept topped up as required. A few of us had desserts or tea/coffee afterwards to round off our meals. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant which has been a part of Dun Laoghaire for as long as I can remember.

25/09/2025: Delicious food with nice jazz music

07/04/2026: We've stayed 3 times in 3 months and each time we were allocated a beautiful room. Spotless clean, extremely comfy beds. Breakfast was delicious with a great selection of everything.

06/04/2026: Great little hotel. Great location and lovely clean rooms

04/10/2025: Hidden gem, great for a breakfast/brunch treat. Food is excellent, good menu with plenty of options, coffee is best in the area. Staff are exemplary, extremely attentive and welcoming. Would highly recommend.

02/10/2025: Second time ordering the same dish here. The breakfast salad. 1st time it was incredibly salty so said I'd try again. This time was not seasoned. The asparagus was thicker than my thumb and fibrous. Salad leaves not dressed. Eggs were very good. Children's menu is good value and child enjoyed food. Perhaps i am ordering a less popular option, however both times this was reccommend by waiting staff. After meal was delivered no follow up at all to see if the food was ok or if we needed anything. Eventually went inside to pay.

28/04/2026: The food at Amy Austin would not disappoint, we went with the chefs special, and there was a lot of food and the taste and flavours profiles were amazing. The cocktails are very tasty too. The only complaint was that the dessert didn’t fit very well and overpowered the entire meal at the end.The place is also very tiny and can turn loud once fully packed, nevertheless will be back for more!

27/04/2026: No complaints about the food, service or atmosphere. Jammed on a Saturday night and liked the intimacy of the place but we had an issue with the tasting menu that we both ordered. We were given shared plates which were single portions as opposed to double the size of a single portion if that makes sense?? If I order a tasting menu I expect to get my own plate. If my partner orders the tasting menu she expects to get her own plate. In AA they give 1 plate to share that isn't double the size of a single plate so basically you get less food. How is this right & how is that good value for money?? There's a bit of play acting going on here and we didn't like it. We brought it up with one of the staff and were told that's how the kitchen serves for 2 people. We left hungry!!

12/04/2026: Great spot, one of the best pints of Guinness in Dublin

03/03/2026: Nice quiet place to have a social drink 🍸 and a chat.Good for the health.

11/05/2026: Beautiful Hotel. Had a Great time here.

11/04/2026: My stay has been nothing but amazing. Love the architecture, the room is up to my standard, and everything is very clean. Best breakfast I’ve ever had! Couldn’t stop getting my hands on the porridge!! All the services given were top shelf, especially Eileen’s extra care for patrons; making sure we’re having the best time! Well done everyone, what a lovely bunch! Hooroo! Regards, MW

22/12/2025: Great fresh pressed juice. The guy working here hustles.

21/10/2025: Best cold pressed and acai in dublin by a long shot !!!!! Highly recommend.

19/08/2025: Delicious food at a very reasonable price. Absolutely lovely staff and a really friendly environment.

16/06/2025: Had the pleasure of visiting today. Enjoyed a delicious apple cake and oat latte. Piping hot brew just how I like it. Will be back.

12/04/2026: Are delicious, 😋 After party and some pastes, easy and useful

27/02/2026: Ordered online, very simple pad thai delivery. Practically no update on the website. Called restaurant and was told it was waiting for driver. Very unsatisfactory service

23/02/2026: The staff are very friendly. The food is always amazing. My favourite is the Crispy chilli chicken and you have to have the prawn crackers.
