The best restaurants in Dublin

09/10/2026: Thought this place looked great so turned up (in opening hours), the worker outside said they were open but staff inside wouldn't let us in as someone was talking? There was nothing on socials or website saying it wasn't accessible to the public so I don't know if it was just them not liking the look of us. Apparently we couldn't even sit outside and have a drink until whatever inside was done. Really odd and unwelcoming especially from somewhere that specifically puts itself forward as open and accepting. Member of staff outside was lovely, and really apologetic that we got chased out by the staff inside, but the whole experience left a lot to be desired.

07/10/2026: It's awesome. The pub quiz is always great and the bartenders are kind. But the pub quiz is super fun!

23/08/2026: We had my boyfriends 40th here. We hired the boat for 4 hours for drinks and it really was an unbelievable night. Very special experience. Everything was perfect. The staff on this boat are brilliant, they looked after us so well.

09/08/2026: Surprisingly awesome restaurant on a canal in Dublin. The service was great and the food delicious

05/10/2026: Best guinness we've had in Dublin.

17/09/2026: We came with the wheelchair and they actually pulled a table down so we could sit closer to the music. They were very kind and recommended a good wiskey. Can recommend coming here. Musician was very kind and played some lovely tunes.

02/08/2026: A very rude guy trying to make us go away because we didn't know how to drink proper coffee. Very bad attitude. Not much space to sit and enjoy, some really uncomfortable seating. The supposedly award winning coffee was just ok. Man if you don't like customers you're probably in the wrong business.

13/07/2026: Amazing service from the entire staff! We came here as it was one of the top recommendations for specialty coffee, and it did not disappoint. Normally not a coffee person but the cappuccino was absolutely delicious. I will say, though, the pour over is probably one of the most expensive out of all the places we’ve been to, but I guess the level of attention to detail makes up for it. Furthermore, staff were extremely friendly and chatty; they gave us a ton of food recommendations for our trip to Dublin! Thank you for the wonderful service!

17/10/2026: First time there and a definite return spot , food was excellent , service first class , the staff catered for a large group with ease but the value for money was really really great so as mentioned a definite return spot to be visited in Dublin

10/10/2026: Absolutely amazing restaurant, love the new decor, from the food to the staff. We been dining in Romano’s for nearly 30 yrs and that is saying a lot. Thank you for your authentic Italian food.

02/10/2026: Thank you Hartleys for making my 80th birthday celebration special, for me and all the family..

20/09/2026: They charged us a 12.5% service charge for sitting in a certain table, absolutely farcical. The food was below what I cook at home at they charged an arm and a leg and a penis for it. They didn't do well with service either with me having to get up for a pint. Honestly it was an average pub with average Guinness and expensive food for the quality, I could make a lot better at home.

22/10/2026: Never a morning goes by that I don’t enjoy a warm reception - and outstanding coffee - with my friends at TWOBEANS!

06/10/2026: Love the people, delicious coffee, found my fav coffee shop in Dun Laoghaire! *pay attention… as you walk by it kinda blends into the other buildings on Georges St Lower.

31/03/2026: Was here for my friends 40th birthday dinner and all the staff & management were so lovely. They looked after us so well. Meal was delicious and cocktails too. They went above and beyond. Highly Recommend to all.

21/03/2026: I was craving fish and chips and I found a fantastic place! The servers were very friendly. I highly recommend it.

08/10/2026: Lovely spot to stop at, great service from Lovely people. Returned today for a quick taste of the menu, gorgeous as always, great vibe and terrific service 👌

02/10/2026: Great spot for quick bites before the Football at Aviva yesterday, the chicken wings were amazing! Friendly and efficient service. The Manager always so welcoming!!!

22/06/2026: From an American perspective the entrance was misleading. The lobby is very grand but there was nothing fancy about the room. No AC and only one small fan for our large room. No ventilation for the bathroom. Leaving the windows open broght in air and all the noise. The coffee maker is the most confusing machine I have ever encountered and it made espresso requiring hot water as well. The staff were very quick to provide more supplies as we ruined several trying to figure out the stupid thing. Close to the hop on bus which we used.

25/09/2026: Amazing experience! Here you can listen to rock and pop music, often revisited with country and folk influences! The times we've attended, we've closed the venue, the atmosphere is overwhelming! It's impossible to stay still!

19/09/2026: There's always something going on here and the atmosphere is incredibly good. Great live music, good beer, and friendly people. Plus, it's very well and centrally located in the Temple Bar district.

01/08/2026: Room was very clean, comfy and a very good size for two people. Ideal for a short break to Dublin where you just want a clean comfortable good sized room to relax at end of day. Close to Dart, easy walk to city. Rooms were quiet and excellent AC.

01/08/2026: Shout out to Patryck Raducka who was so kind and prompt when I emailed from USA about the airlines changing our stay dates. He responded to me right away and modified our stay without any drama and was so kind. The stay was clean, quiet, and close to all the sites. Definitely recommend! Thank you, Patryck!

16/09/2026: Great Coffee, but your new staff are extremely rude. Two girls worked today, on the 16th of September 2026. When taking the order, one of them shouted a fake "Hello" in my face, which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, and I asked for something extra; she rolled her eyes at me. Also, after closing the shop, they were screaming.

21/08/2026: Cute little place to sit for a bit. Coffee wasn't bad but croissant was underwhelming.

21/10/2026: Great place. Especially the quiz on a Wednesday. Colin brings the place to life. Highly recommend

26/09/2026: Holy god a rip off, nearly 60€ for toast, a sandwich, yoghurt & a couple of coffees & fanta 😳😳

05/06/2026: The food felt like I am having dessert for main course and starter. Extremely sweet food with no flavour than sweet. It was busy I understand but the service was too slow. And they even did not ask for water unless asked to them. It was my second time here. First time was a little better but the second time I did not have a meal I just had sweet dish in form of my meal. Food with sugar that’s all it was.

01/06/2026: Disappointing experience. Had my second visit today. During my first visit I thought it might be because of the rush but today it was totally free during lunch hour. Both the times the attitude of staff serving was so rude as if he was doing us a favor by letting us in and have lunch there Coming to the food, it was okay. But if you visit you can try out their south Indian cuisine.
