The best restaurants in Dublin

21/10/2025: Great simple breckfast by friendly staff

10/09/2025: This is a lovely, local cafe. Our first time there and not our last. An extremely good well priced menu and good food, good atmosphere and friendly and attentive staff. We will definitely be back

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

23/08/2025: Great spot for breakfast. We had egg Benedict, latte, orange and apple juice. Coffee is very good. Great little spot nice ambiance!

10/08/2025: Great little place that had great diversity in good, work ton of sandwiches, salads, and breakfast items.

01/10/2025: Worked with Gwen and her team on an event in Tallaght. Found Gwen to be very easy to work with, could not fault the service. Highly rate the Bumble Bean for value for money, flexibility and excellent customer service. Looking forward to working with them again

12/09/2025: We were delighted to welcome the Bumble Bean to a recent staff event. Gwen accommodated us at short notice and was a pleasure to deal with. Her coffee and pastries were delicious and I'd highly recommend Gwen and her team for any event

03/09/2025: Fine food, good deals with coffee for breakfast/lunch. Coffee on its own is similar in price to other places and variable in quality. I'd prefer to go to tang or creed if just getting a coffee.

10/06/2025: Excellent cappuccino and candy selection, credit card exchange rate is criminal though. Looking at you Jamie dimon. 👀

09/06/2025: Great food, great prices and most importantly….very friendly staff. Lovely place to go for breakfast or lunch

13/05/2025: Great cafe/ late tapas bar on selected evenings. Staff are so welcoming, a real community feel to the place

20/10/2025: I have been prety much frequently as I live near by. This time I was trying to make a booking for BD in advance. The booking was rejected for very unreasanably. Only saying that they will not be able to promise any specific table or area in advance. Why do you have a booking system then?

20/10/2025: I’ve frequented this place on and off for a number of years. But recently I’ve been there quite often and have began to be a major fan of this place. I recently did my first wings Wednesday with about 8 lads. I think usually there’s a timer on the table but as there was no booking after us the staff kindly told us there was no rush…. Now I’m not sure if this actually worked out in are favor because we absolutely stuffed our faces with delicious wings all night…. That experience was 10/10 and I highly recommend to anyone interested. The value for money was insane. Also in the upstairs of the venue there was a whole mini event on with art stalls , piercings and so on .. also a really cool dj which was class to see. I’m a big fan of using the spaces we have in Dublin for lots of different events. Now wings Wednesday aside, the place itself is amazing. The vibe on any night is always welcoming and funky. The music they place is niche and class to anyone who’s a fan of actual good music of all sorts of genres. The main thing that brings me back every time is the 4 class shuffle boards upstairs. Such a great facility to have and they don’t even charge any money for it which is amazing. I understand that the company in the past as a whole from the ceo has received some sort of a bad rep. But if you didn’t know what existed from news and whatnot you could never imagine it with how sick this spot is. A proper gem in Dublin

08/09/2025: Very nice food and plentiful we love Camile

07/09/2025: I ordered a medium-sized meal,a little pricey but it was an excellent treat - although I would have liked a little bit more Veg in my red curry! Also food arrived warm not hot! - I had to re heat I did enjoy every last bit. Thank you

21/08/2025: Super friendly stuff in a nice local Pub.

15/08/2025: Went there with a few friends after the leeds & Ac Milan game ... Great crack .. Great service .. & friendly atmosphere with the locals .. went in at 17.30 & fallout at 1 am 😂 chinese across the road was handy

20/09/2025: Excellent gluten free options. Seems like most things on the menu are gluten free adaptable. I had burger with a gluten free bun - really lovely.

18/09/2025: Their chicken wings might just be the best I've ever had! I frequent Brickyard and have NEVER been disappointed by their generous servings. Brickyard do exactly what you want them to do, good food, good drinks and a lovely atmosphere.

21/10/2025: Great staff and ambiance, lovely tapas, delicious sangria! Perfect for a birthday party or a weeknight drink with a friend, highly recommend this place

20/10/2025: We had such a great time at Port House Cava! The food was amazing, every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. We especially loved the Gambas al Pil Pil, Croquetas de Jamón, and the Paella de Marisco. The sangria was also perfect! A big thank you to Priscila, who took such great care of us, she was friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcome. The whole team was lovely and worked so well together to make the evening special. Thank you to everyone at Port House Cava for a wonderful dining experience

02/10/2025: Excellent. Eaten a lot of international pizza. This is a fantastic pie. Staff was super friendly and helpful. No seating, order and possibly eat curbside.

25/09/2025: Lovely service and incredible pizza!!

26/07/2025: First time here, ordered the bacon cheese burger and sweet potato fries. It was incredible! Huge portions, fresh ingredients, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff! I'll be back again

31/05/2025: Really impressed with the food and service.

17/10/2025: Fun place. Had Hendricks high tea. Gin drink served in a tea pot with tea cups and saucers.

15/10/2025: A little bar with loads of spirit.

15/08/2025: I brought my mom for very 1st time to experience Afternoon Tea in Lord Mayor’s Lounge at The Shelbourne hotel. Together with her and also my sister in law and little niece we had amazing experience, everything was delicious, the desserts looks fairytale and taste heavenly, we been completely spoiled by our waitress Karla and lovely Imelda. Thank you so much girls for everything.

03/08/2025: We had a booking for 12:00 and got there at 11:55. They sat us down and at that time there were only 2 or 3 other tables with people. As more people came in, they were all getting served before us. We noticed that the waiters were explaining to each table how it all worked as they were seating the guests. No one explained how it worked or came to our table for 20 minutes, at which point we just left. As we were leaving, other tables were getting food and tea. There was staff standing around, and our table was very visible. Waiters were constantly walking past us. I don’t think it’s acceptable to have to hail a waiter at a 5 star hotel when expected to pay 75 euro (minimum) a head. We ended up going to Bewley’s and were served within 5 minutes without even having a booking. I went to the Westbury for afternoon tea last year and the service was a lot better. Maybe we just got unlucky but I would definitely never go back to the Shelbourne, especially when paying that amount of money.
