The best restaurants in Dublin

03/05/2026: Food lovely very prompt service 4 empty plates going back would recommend we had beef and turkey just lovely would definitely return again.nice atmosphere

07/04/2026: Food was lovely and staff were very good

16/04/2026: We celebrated my mum’s 80th birthday in the Chart Room at The Oar House, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was excellent, and the chef was incredibly accommodating, working with us to create a menu that suited both our gluten-free and vegetarian guests without any compromise on quality or taste. The staff were super friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout the evening, which made the whole event feel relaxed and special. We had an amazing night and couldn’t have asked for a better venue to celebrate such an important occasion. I would highly recommend The Oar House to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a memorable experience.

04/04/2026: A really tasty late-lunch. Service was fast and friendly. Prices are excellent for the quality. If you're in the area, it's a no-brainer.

22/12/2025: The food here ranges from good to outstanding, depending on the night, with the black dal probably the highlight. Unfortunately they've had some serious misses lately, especially the lamb jalfrezi that was unpalatably sweet, as if someone had added a ton of sugar or jaggery. The aloo tikki also tasted as if it had been cooked and left sitting for a while. There's no reason to adulterate food for the Irish palate. Stick with what's been successful at Pickle and previously here.

15/12/2025: The food is good.. loved chicken 65. Butter chicken biryani was good, but I wouldn’t want my biryani to be sweet, but because it was butter chicken, I can understand. The food was on the sweeter side. Prices are quite high.

28/09/2025: The food here is very good. We tried three dishes, and all three were excellent! Especially the one that was quite spicy! The service is also excellent!

26/09/2025: this is authentic szechuan food, they use great spice levels. super tasty and would return. the beef dumpling with crispy shallot and teriyaki was awesome. loved the crispy chili chicken too (a favorite we order in NY too). and the spice bag was a delight (yes I know it is not authentic but had to try it)

03/04/2026: Honestly my favourite place for food, me and my boyfriend go here at least once a week and it has never failed us 🙏🙏 best restaurant ever!!!

18/03/2026: Delicious food. Good service. Underrated place.

06/04/2026: One of the most unique pubs in my Dublin trip! Tucked away under the railway arches, it has a unique underground vibe with its stone walls and cozy corners. It’s the perfect spot for a pint while waiting for a train or escaping the city bustle. Authentic, and full of character.

04/04/2026: Well, but more than an Irish pub, it's a bar with a strange atmosphere. Plus, maps confuses you to get there.

23/04/2026: Wasn’t to busy which is nice, food was lovely

14/04/2026: We had a lovely meal, the staff were lovely and very obliging. Thank you M&M

20/09/2025: So good! Food was amazing, everything fresh, delicious, I ordered chicken wing, Mac-cheese croquette and spice bag, it was delicious! Photo taken before everything was over! Incredible and surprising! Staff friendly, nice music 👌

18/08/2025: We ate here before the Oasis gig on Sunday. Not too busy so we were seated immediately. Great decor in the place. Burgers were awesome and served on strange looking black buns. Service was excellent and fast. We stayed on for a few beers afterwards.

10/03/2026: Full irish was great, avocado toast was horrible. Not sure what kind of avocado they used in a place that makes such great dishes, but that was not very pleasant to eat. Full Irish, on the other hand, was honestly one of the best I’ve had.

01/03/2026: We were looking for a place to eat a scone with cream and jam, and our wanderings led us to this very cozy little spot. You order at the bar and wait at your table, where you're given a number. We went twice, once in the afternoon, for a hot drink and a pastry. They have some rather original hot drinks that are a nice change from the usual. We felt comfortable here and took our time...

19/10/2025: Like an old man's pub. Very Irish and local. Mens toilets are abit rank though

11/08/2025: Lovely Irish pub, with lots of kind and friendly locals, tons of little nooks, a spacious back patio and sneak access to a large courtyard with a few tasty food trucks and a little hidden sauna. A fun find and great place for an afternoon out!

02/04/2026: I lived in Blackrock for nearly two years, and from the moment I first walked into Kelly and Coopers, I was made to feel genuinely welcome and immediately at home. That warmth and hospitality made settling into Blackrock far easier than I could have expected, and it is something I will always remember with real gratitude. The service was exceptional throughout attentive, friendly, and delivered so naturally that every visit felt effortless and enjoyable. It was often the case that before I had even thought about leaving my seat, a member of staff would already be there to ask if I was ready for another pint, which perfectly reflected the high standard of care and attentiveness that defined the place. The food was consistently excellent, always enjoyable and clearly prepared with care. The smoking area was a favorite retreat of mine a calm, inviting space with a pleasant atmosphere, ideal for relaxing and taking a moment to unwind. It is a place I genuinely miss and one I look forward to returning to on my next trip. My sincere best wishes to all of the staff, and thank you for making my time in Blackrock all the more memorable.

13/03/2026: Rude and ingorant staff. I wouldnt step foot in here AGAIN!

15/02/2026: Had 3 courses, hummus starter was delish, Main chicken Burger was underwhelming, and white choc mousse dessert was tasty. Server was so helpful, very attentive. Nice surroundings but I dont know if I'd go out of my way to eat there again.

28/01/2026: Hotel restaurants are generally a safe but basic option. In this case, this restaurant pleasantly surprised me. We followed Alberto's recommendations for drinks, food, and dessert, and it was a guaranteed success. Everything was delicious, and the service made us feel right at home. It's definitely a great option for lunch or dinner without having to travel far from the hotel.

23/12/2025: I was there last weekend for a few drinks with neighbours. The atmosphere is excellent and the service was fast and really good waiters and waitresses. We had 3 drinks and spent almost 30€, which is kinda ok. I haven't tried the food, but it looked really nice and the menu very interesting. Seems like they put a lot of care on what they serve. We requested a quieter area (it can get noisy) and there is this little table for 7/8 people in a little room that was just perfect. Looking forward to trying their food!

21/11/2025: This place used to be great. New chef is good. The food is good. Used to be great with the spicy chicken but it’s still good . There’s been a big turnover of managers. There’s a new guy there now. He has changed the whole vibe. We used to go there a lot. Not so much now. He is rude and unfriendly. Tries to be efficient but manages to come across as bossy and grumpy. His interaction with the staff is appalling. Some staff said reluctantly but very respectfully that he’s hard to work under. We left our most recent visit early and went elsewhere as we felt under pressure and unwelcome. It seems Pat has taken a step back and left Mary Kate and this new guy Glenn to run the show. It seems to have lost the friendly local vibe and some of the long standing amazing staff have left.

23/04/2026: Great live music, everyone was super nice, and delicious cider.

20/04/2026: I really enjoyed an evening here! We went upstairs for dinner (quick service and very friendly staff) and then joined the bar downstairs. Loved the live music, the atmosphere and vibes were so great!

07/01/2026: Best ever shop, good values and best price

24/12/2025: My partner was just around at this supervalue grabbing the last few bits for Christmas and she was followed all over the shop not only today but the other day by this new so called security guard? If this happens one more time I will be coming into the shop to take this matter up with management.. Who do they think they are profiling her?
