The best restaurants in Dublin

25/07/2026: Great music, the entertainers keep the crowd engaged too. Overall a great experience

25/07/2026: I wasn't expecting much from the food, but it pleasantly surprised us. The staff was very kind and welcoming, and the show was excellent.

23/05/2026: Highly reccomend. Staff are very friendly. Food is excellent. Price is reasonable. Overall loved it

07/05/2026: I live locally and had to wait around the area for a while, I decided to get some breakfast in Ketts kitchen, I'd never tried it before. I was blown away with the place, I ordered the full Irish breakfast and it was delicious, everything from the presentation to the friendly staff and the relaxed atmosphere, I loved the place and will definitely give them my business again. Keep up the great work, it felt like a was in Avoca and not Tallaght, delightful place 👌

16/06/2026: Very cosy and less hectic campus than Glasnevin. All rooms airy and the library is spacious

16/04/2026: Fantastic facilities and plenty of parking

20/07/2026: Staff 100 % . Needed my phone charged in emergency. Staff weŕe brillant in helping me , 100% recommend

11/07/2026: Staff are very nice. Absolutely soulless though. Won’t last long. Empty on weekend nights with atrocious music. Whoever owns it these days needs to give their head a wobble and book some decent acts. There’s no reason to come aside from its open late & serving. The refurb is aesthetically awful. It’s reminds me of some nightclubs from the early 2000’s in Dublin except with zero vibe, energy or decent DJ’s. If anyone has a recollection of this from the mid 90’s and how it used to look, the apple has fallen from the tree, roller into the grave nearby and been buried.

20/06/2026: We came back two years after our first visit and were pleasantly surprised by the improvements. The food presentation was excellent, and the service was much better than before. The Čevapi Sarajevsk was absolutely delicious. The only disappointment was the Burek, which was a bit dry and had very little filling. Overall, we highly recommend this place and look forward to returning again.

13/06/2026: Absolutely beautiful food , Romanians took over the restaurant and service is great , food is absolutely amazing, our favourite Pleskavica and cevapi amazing , oreo cake so soft and tasty . Recommended 💯

18/07/2026: Going to Sophie's isn't just about going out for dinner; it's about savoring a selection of their dishes and having an amazing evening.

18/07/2026: Was one of the nicest pizzas in dublin before. We returned yesterday and I've had better pizzas out of a freezer. Absolutely shocking. It was as if the pizza was cooked and the ingredients thrown on top after. Will not be returning. Was only starting to get people in as it was early in the evening. The sourdough focaccia starter was really good but the reason we went here was for the pizza and we felt very let down. I said to one of the waiters what happened to your woodfire pizzas and he had told me they are only back open after been closed for 5 months and asked was it the base or the pepperoni the problem for us. So must be a common complaint.

24/07/2026: Our favorite meal so far in Ireland. Two kids and two discriminating adults loved it. Mussels were delicious and rich in flavor, seafood stew was well balanced and bigger than the previous restaurant, and my kids like shepherds pie so much now I'm going to have to figure out how to make it when we return home.

19/07/2026: It was a lot of fun being here. The music was really good, and so were the drinks. The only thing that bothered me was the person from the restroom who demanded money for soap and a paper towel.

21/07/2026: Fantastic! Sunny terrace, amazing sandwiches, we'll be back!

16/07/2026: one of the nicest sandwich shops in the city and good coffee too...

21/06/2026: My brother visited on Father's Day with his 16-year-old daughter for lunch. He ordered a beer for himself and a Coke for her. After being asked her age and answering "16", they were refused service and left feeling embarrassed and judged. The interaction gave the impression that assumptions were made before anyone took the time to understand they were father and daughter. If there was a house policy, a polite explanation would have been perfectly acceptable. Instead, what should have been a simple Father's Day lunch became an unpleasant experience. Very disappointing.

16/06/2026: I found myself here twice on my trip. I enjoyed it both times. The service was friendly and poured perfect Guinness every time. Also— Someone tell Coors Light Derek that American Derek says hi.

11/07/2026: Great food at reasonable prices. Service is nice but a bit slow.

27/06/2026: The food was very good that meet our spice level. We ordered chicken Chettinad with GOC naan and the taste was awesome with the spicy flavours (we asked for spicy). The service was really good.

12/07/2026: Very nice place. They even have one robot server. Good value good and definitely worth a visit.

12/07/2026: The food is very delicious, the service is polite and kind.

27/06/2026: Nice place to try something else than traditional irish dish. Tried calamari and souvlaki, both didn’t dissapointed.

23/06/2026: I wanted to try food in this place for a long time, and had a big expectations, as it looked nice from the outside. Unfortunately the food was very disappointing. We paid 45 euro for 2 meals ( NO DRINKS) and we would not mind that, if the food was nice, but it was horrible the meat on the skewers was extremely hard, dry and without any flavour. Chips and the salad were nice, but with the meat so hard to bite it was not possible to enjoy it. It was way overpriced, but to be honest we were very hungry so we did eat everything, even though it was so difficult to chew it. It was my first and last time there. The lady who served us was nice and polite so that was the only plus. Atmosphere overall, nothing special. Staff chilling at the table. One guy looked like he was sleeping there. It's not what you want to see when going to the restaurant.

05/06/2026: Service was very poor, food was worse. Would not return or recommend.

25/05/2026: Great quality food reasonable price for Dublin

29/06/2026: a little pricey for the portions you get

26/06/2026: Best restaurant in Dundrum shopping centre in my opinion. Update June 26, shout out to the waiting staff that dealt with two absolute scum bags with great respect and calmness. These two horrors came in ordered drinks and food, put a hair in the food after eating it and then when the waiter told them to only pay for the drinks and went to get the machine, they did a runner. But hilariously, they were so stupid that they left a phone on the table and had to come back. The waiter was as calm as could be and when the police arrived, took everyone inside away from the customers. This situation could have gotten out of hand but the staff were superb, great job.

21/04/2026: Didnt have a great experience at all! Went in to get Bacon & Cheese fries for takeout. I told the lady my order and she told me to wait a sec. I waited for 15 minutes and nothing. I try to get her attention to remind her but she just walks past me completely ignoring me, walking towards new customers .( there was only one person when I walked in) I waited another 15 minutes just for me to see her serve the customers that walked in after me. I really think this is unfair and unprofessional coming from the staff here!!!

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