The best restaurants in Dublin

08/01/2025: Good breakfast menu and reasonable prices with local colour 👌

18/04/2025: Great place in a superb Dublin area. worth a longer visit. An old hotel updated to 2025

17/04/2025: Perfect location, very walkable to all places. Beautiful room and kind staff

19/03/2025: They don’t do decaf iced coffees? Super weird they could only do a caffeinated iced coffee or a decaf iced coffee

08/04/2025: As a stag group that had been go karting around the corner we decided to go for a pint or 6! What a welcoming place from the staff to the locals, they were great… as was the Guinness and the price! Thanks for having us.

16/03/2025: Great place in the heart of Ballyfermot. Was there at the Cheltanham races weekend with the perfect atmosphere. Must recommended

05/04/2025: DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL IF YOU VALUE YOUR SAFETY!!! This would have been a 5 star review as the Temple Bar Inn was very conveniently located near restaurants, bars, shopping and sights and the rooms were spacious and clean. However, we had an incident that changed the review. There were 3 of us, all women, occupying the room and 2 of the 3 of us were asleep. Around midnight, I heard our door unlock and turned in bed to see a silhouette of a man stepping through our doorway. As he continued several steps into the room, I screamed and woke up the other 2 ladies in the room. After about 30 seconds (which felt like an eternity) of my screaming to “get out” the man finally said, “oh, okay” and turned around and left the room. The three of us immediately ran to the door and propped the heavy footstools and chairs against the door in an attempt to secure the door and then we called the front desk. We were told by the man at the front desk that the issue must have been that the keys were not recoded and he said that he would inactivate our keys and that we would have to come to the front desk to get new keys. He also told us the intruder was likely a man who was just drinking at the bar in the lobby who he saw leave. At no time did he offer to deliver the keys to us. We were terrified and did not want to venture into the hallway not knowing if the man was still there or not. After seeing someone walk up and down the hallway several times (through the peephole) we called the front desk again who stated that they did a security sweep through the hallway and told that the threat was “likely” neutralized. Needless to say, we did not sleep at all that night as we were terrified at the thought of someone entering the room. After the sleepless night, we went to check out of the hotel as early as we could, and as we checked out and discussed the matter with the man at the front desk we were told that he watched security footage which showed that the “man did not use a key and that our door was ajar” and stated that it was our fault that this occurred. This is an even bigger security concern for us and this hotel, as we are three single women traveling together; we always double and triple check our doors in hotels to make sure they are closed before going to bed at night. The door in our room was securely shut when we went to bed…hence if they state that the door “was ajar” then there is a very significant issue with the locks in the room. The fact that the man at the front desk blamed us, they did not offer any help to make us feel secure in the middle of the night (except for doing a “sweep” of the hallway) and left us with deactivated key cards (so if we needed or wanted to leave our room in the middle of the night we would have been unable). Our biggest concerns were that the man (who said he was in charge) never apologized, nothing was done to make us feel safe in this hotel and he blamed us for the door being “ajar”. The questions we have are how do you see that the door is “ajar” in grainy security video (which we were never allowed to see)? We double checked that the door was completely shut before going to bed so if the door was that far”ajar” that it was seen in a security video then there are very significant security issues with the locks in your room. And also, why did I hear the door “unlock” which made me turn and look over towards the door at midnight if the door was “ajar” and the man did not use a card to enter??? We would not recommend this hotel to anyone who values their security, safety and most importantly, wishes to be treated with respect, as three women who had a very traumatic incident happen, had no assistance from this hotel and will likely never feel safe to stay in another hotel again as we will forever relive this incident.

01/04/2025: Great location for walking around Dublin and the TVs have Google casting abilities for when you’re unwinding. Didn’t find that anywhere else we stayed not that that’s a big deal, but, it was nice!

01/04/2025: Grand pizza, real burrata, and olive oil. What more could you ask for? 👌🏼🤤

28/03/2025: Ordered pizza and this is how it came

26/03/2025: Coffee is good but their system (and therefore service) is painfully slow, esp at busy times

23/03/2025: The coffee, hot chocolate and pastries are gorgeous . The shop is very small but worth it. All the seating is covered outside.

06/06/2024: It was a very special birthday, thank you 💕

27/05/2024: Very good restaurant in the heart of Dublin. Greek atmosphere, nice Greek music. Polite and friendly staff. Good prices

06/04/2025: Great food & service. We love it here! 😁

05/04/2025: Maybe because it was middle of the afternoon it just wasnt good and no atmosphere. Prawn starter was nice enough and nice gls of french white but the burger just wasnt good dry and tastless and way to much sauce put on it. Was also very strange being served by a member of kitchen staff.

16/03/2025: The pizza here is the best I have ever had ! And service is excelent :)

16/03/2025: Great atmosphere and great value

17/03/2025: First time to eat here and I have to say the food was absolutely delicious. We shared Kathmandu veg & a sizzling meat platter (my fav was sizzling prawn) to start. My friends had the Kathmandu special mixed Sizzler, delish, highly recommend👌. Others had the Himalayan chicken curry, which looks green but is really tasty.😋 I had the prawn tikka masala and we shared pilau Rice, a peshwari naan & garlic and coriander naan. The wine was decent and all for €50 per person! Very good value for how delish the food was!

16/03/2025: Service was so fine Love the food See you again

11/02/2025: Amazing place. One of our all time favorite places.

26/11/2024: It's been a while, but I've been there four times and each time it's been an experience. Steaks fantastic, side dishes or wines simply fantastic. You definitely pay for the service and the ambience. During my visits there were muffins filled with cheese and butter first. Guys, I've never eaten anything like that before or since. And before that, a nice gin and tonic in the cellar. Simply worth the trip.

09/03/2025: Despite a storefront that doesn't look like much, we were very pleasantly surprised by the cuisine of this restaurant! Excellent breakfast, very generous and well prepared! Very pleasant waitress. We recommend this address!

19/02/2025: Fair prices in an expensive city. 4 sandwiches n sides with drinks for £ 40 ish Thank you
