The best restaurants in Dublin

14/10/2025: I visited your restaurant approximately an hour ago and would like to share my recent experience. Before entering the queue, I wanted to ask one of your staff members whether you had the Bufalina pizza available. Unfortunately, I was met with a rude and dismissive response—“It’s in the oven.” Later, when I proceeded to place my order, another staff member served me in a cold and indifferent manner. I have ordered the Bufalina pizza from your restaurant many times before, and it has never been served as burnt as it was today. I was quite surprised by the quality. Moreover, as I was leaving with my order, I noticed three members of your team looking directly at me while speaking in their own language and laughing, which made me feel very uncomfortable and disrespected.

09/10/2025: I ate pasta carbonara there which was very good and the servers are very friendly, I highly recommend it.

30/09/2025: Extremely disappointed. It was amazing little place, we got rolls for so long from them. Last week I decided to grab a bite, price went up. Oh, well! The roll had barely anything in it. It was 90% bread with zero taste. I think it was my last visit.

11/09/2025: If Carlsberg did sandwich bars!!! Nice and clean establishment, friendly staff, very tasty food. I'll defo be back when I'm back in the area. Outdoor seating also.

28/11/2025: Lovely meal or with old friends. Great venue for a catchup over good food

16/11/2025: Very noisy and busy Cantonese restaurant, but it is obviously one of the most traditional and authentic place for tasting Cantonese food particularly Dim Sum. They even serve dim sum in the evening which is always a plus.

15/09/2025: We hosted a hen party here on Saturday for 21 ladies, and it could not have gone better! The team were incredibly accommodating – they allowed us to set up our own decorations and food, and were so helpful with everything from start to finish. We had corkage on some bottles of prosecco for a welcome drink, and the staff went above and beyond making sure everyone’s glasses were always topped up, even when we moved up to the top deck. As we essentially ran an open bar with drink tokens for guests, it was great to see how respectful and honest the staff were – they made everything so easy for us and didn’t take advantage in any way. Another lovely touch was being able to connect our phones via Bluetooth for music, which meant we could play our own playlist on deck and set the perfect atmosphere. The whole experience was honestly the highlight of the day, and all of our guests had an absolute ball. Thank you so much to everyone at the Dublin Canal Boat Restaurant for helping us create such a memorable start to our hen celebrations!

15/09/2025: Wow! We attended a hen party over the weekend & absolutely everything was perfect. The boat, drinks, sound system & every single member of the crew were AMAZING. We had the best day party & start to the day Thank you

14/12/2025: Authentic Food and service. Definitely a good to restaurant.

13/12/2025: We absolutely love this restaurant, the dinner was amazing (specially the tikkamassala). This is our first time trying Pakistaní Food and we loved it. The service provided by the staff was excellent, especially by Pinkie, who was incredibly kind to us and a true professional. We will definitely come back soon thanks to the great treatment she gave us. We are very grateful to have met such a special person. Thank you very much!

05/12/2025: Craft beers, inexpensive for Dublin. A big thumbs up for the Galway Bay brewery stout. The food is great. A good place for a fun night out!

27/11/2025: Great selection. Eclectic fun bar

16/08/2025: Rude is the only way to describe this establishment. Customers are considered a total inconvenience.

17/04/2025: The staff here are always so friendly

12/11/2025: Excellent food friendly owner and staff

08/11/2025: Soup and wings lunch. Guinness bread yummy.

12/09/2025: 6pm today the 12th September. Place was filthy. Multiple empty tables with food and wrappers not cleared away. Flies crawling all over tables. The floor was disgusting and in a worse state than the bins pictured. Three staff members all standing around behind the counter chatting and laughing and oblivious to the filth around them. Not the first time we’ve been there and it’s a complete mess. Will definitely be the last time though.

30/08/2025: Nice place to eat.. Not so crowded. They have seating upstairs as well.

13/09/2025: Nice and cozy place for weekend brunch! It is one of my favorite places, but I was a little disappointed with my visit last Sunday, Sep 7th. Sffats were too busy talking to each other. I know the cafe gets busy on weekends, but it didn't have the vibe I usually expect. Hope it gets back soon.

09/09/2025: Great brunch options and Thai tea 🧋

12/10/2025: The bread is delicious!! Will be my “go to” place to pick up bread

28/09/2025: Ordered a chocolate birthday cake for my husbands birthday. Delicious, rich & moist ! Beautiful cake & great value Thanks 😊

02/11/2025: Unfortunately, the calda chocolate has drastically changed 😕 it is just as a regular hot chocolate for the price of a calda. Diluted as its best , will not return sadly as I used to really like the calda .

02/11/2025: Very asthetic, dog friendly and especially the hazelnut Hot chocolat, It is a must !

04/12/2025: Am done with here. Work locally, just waited 25 mins for a takeaway toasted sandwich. When I asked for a refund they realised they hadn’t put the order in. Staff too busy having the craic behind the counter. Got one thrown in a bag and handed to me. Burnt Oat milk latte pathetic- flat and half filled At €16.65 for the two it’s a complete rip off- too many other offerings in the area. Won’t be back. Ruined my lunch break and my appetite

29/11/2025: Delicious croissant eggs Benedict

14/11/2025: Booked this place for a group of 14 with drinks and platters. Worked with João to book it and it was all smooth and everyone enjoyed it!

27/10/2025: Nice service, not too crowded, good for a nightcap.

28/11/2025: Super service delicious 😋 flavours, should not but will be back!

09/11/2025: My son favourite ice cream is bumble gum
