The best restaurants in Dublin

13/01/2026: Yellow Cafe is a great spot for brunch near Berkeley Road. The food arrived hot and well presented. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

12/01/2026: Lovely little café in Phibsborough with a very warm vibe. The coffee was smooth and the breakfast tasted fresh. Perfect place for a relaxed morning.

21/10/2025: My friends and came here tonight to have a few drinks and we were immediately greeted with suspicion… we’re American studying abroad in London and visiting Dublin on our break from university. We presented our IDs and the woman who asked us asked us very hesitantly how we know each other and we told her. She left and then came back and told us (very politely) we had to leave because our IDs looked fake. We’re two 21 year olds and a 20 year old. Our IDs are very real. We aren’t sure if it’s because people can’t seem to find the birthdate on American IDs or if it’s because they all looked different (we’re from different states). But either way, if you have an American ID you may want to look elsewhere.

20/10/2025: The most masterfully crafted cocktails!! Our server, Shane, was absolutely delightful. He gave recommendations that surprised us with their great flavor!

05/05/2026: Great place, great staff, great food. I would recommend this place without hesitation. Thank you for everything!

04/05/2026: The atmosphere was very pleasant, the food was delicious and in good portions, and the ice cream was very tasty.

19/04/2026: I loved the experience! The pub has a really cozy atmosphere, perfect for going out with friends or just relaxing after a long day. The music was great, the service was friendly and quick, and the drinks were well made. I also really enjoyed the menu options — everything was delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back! Thanks Marina!

19/04/2026: Marina was a wonderful person along of the night. I really appreciate her kindness and service 🍻

17/04/2026: Proper Irish pub, not as toursity as Temple Bar ones. Live music most nights in two different bars.

17/04/2026: Very good sessions most every day, good alcohol, friendly service. Often packed, but understandably so given the quality of the experience. Don't bother with nonsense like the temple bar, just go here instead.

21/04/2026: Busy pub just down from the cliff walk. Hence the popularity. Large menu with too many options. A cup of soup to warm up and continue on with your day.

21/04/2026: I've eaten at this restaurant several times when I've visited Howth, and it never disappoints. They have a wide menu, good quality ingredients, and friendly, attentive service. Plus, the price is excellent for the quality and quantity. The place is also spacious, with dining rooms and tables downstairs (as well as a bar area and terrace), and an upstairs area where you can also eat, even at high tables. I've had everything from fish and chips (crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside), to the fish of the day (they often have a special fish that isn't on the menu), the typical Irish mussels (delicious, with a white wine and cream sauce that's so good you'll want to keep dipping), and my favorite dish: a casserole with a base of crab and haddock (which is similar to cod) in a cream sauce, all baked au gratin and served with mashed potatoes. I think it's one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. If you're in Howth, this place is a must-visit for good food and a few pints.

16/04/2026: This has to be some of the nicest food I've ever had. Quality was amazing and the pricing is so fair. We went twice, once 30 mins before closing and once 15 minutes after they opened. The quality was just as good both times. Will be coming back as much as possible. The miso soup was amazing, the sushi was some of the nicest we have had and the prawn tonkatsu was amazinggggg. Defo recommend

02/04/2026: The waitresses were very friendly and accommodating, and the food was perfect.

26/01/2026: Really great experience in Hong Hop last night! There was a decent enough crowd of us, 10 in total, and the whole staff were really welcoming and accommodating throughout the whole evening. The service was top class, can't thank them enough for how they looked after us.I found the food to be really good, and there's lots of options available so everyone can find something. Would definitely go back again!

23/01/2026: Liked the food, the staff. Not too expensive

20/01/2026: Staffs are rude and impolite!!!

18/01/2026: Expensive, good selection but a bit bland.

01/12/2025: Great little local cafe full of delicious healthy options .

01/12/2025: Absolutely gorgeous food, great coffee and a chill casual atmosphere! I loved the porridge and the avocado toast with poached eggs was great! Will definitely be back time and again!

07/05/2026: Small intimate pub style steakhouse. Great food and wine. We enjoyed it very much. Split the salad, had a filet and the lamb. All were excellent!

04/05/2026: Great vibe, great food, and an even better waiter, Davide is the best! Update: I've been here 3 times already, with friends, family, and friends again. NEVER LETS ME DOWN. Insane food and great service!

06/04/2026: Highly recommended! The food was delicious!

05/04/2026: It's an excellent bar. One of the best in Dublin.

15/04/2026: listened to music and had a light dinner. Juan, the waiter, was great!

15/04/2026: Very Nice place,special Juan was very Nice.

12/12/2025: Amazing little jam you must visit when you are around! Food is simply delicious, portions are very generous, service is exceptional! Can’t wait to return soon!

05/12/2025: Love love love this place. The fabulous lady who is front of house (and who also is the dessert chef) is such a joy. I love going back as often as I can. The sardinian bread at the start is a lovely touch. The raviole is my fave.

15/04/2026: Had drinks over at Mulligan's. It was a great pub with a nice atmosphere. It was also not overpriced compared to the temple bar district

08/04/2026: Great atmosphere here for the Ireland match unfortunately we lost
