The best restaurants in Dublin

04/09/2025: Gets noisy when busy; lamb courses are a bit “beefy”…

26/07/2025: Excellent food and impeccable service at great value prices. Highly recommended.

16/04/2026: Dada offers a carefully selected menu, delicious taste, and friendly staff. The Tajines are spectacular !

10/04/2026: Not very good food, service is okay but nothing Moroccan there. The desserts are a shame. VERY EXPENSIVE

07/05/2025: Very friendly and accommodating.

28/03/2025: Had coffee and acai bowl at the lab just on the grounds. Was fab staff so friendly too

12/04/2026: Just horrible food, 3pm on a Sunday and its all stale, Yorkshire puddings would break your teeth, the stuffing was tasteless and stale, chips half where uncooked half where stale, and the side of gravy was like the roast beef was sitting in it absolutely rotten, will never set foot in here again for food, either the chef was on strike or yous have just a cook!

07/04/2026: Looking a pint this the place for you if your in the neighborhood

14/04/2026: Nice little spot, great atmosphere, love the staff

12/02/2026: Great small, cute pub with a proper old‑school feel. They’re still doing €6 pints, and they pour them properly. Don’t be misguided by the photos online though. Those big, spacious rooms you might see are only for private events. The actual pub itself is tiny and cozy.

09/05/2026: A great place in the heart of Rathmains... the staff are very friendly, and I thoroughly enjoyed my coffee.

02/05/2026: I love this place and come here regularly! The food and drinks are great and the staff that has been there for a long time, like Natalia for example, is exceptional!

30/12/2025: Still my fav coffee shop in Dublin! Was visiting back this Christmas and stayed close to Camden so had to get my coffee. Never disappoints, consistent and great coffee! Got to try their breakfast and it was 🔥👌🏽👌🏽

29/12/2025: Opening times are wrong. It’s closed.

23/02/2026: Reasonable price Clean room Nice food Nice staff

18/02/2026: Had a great time here room was a bit cold upon arrival all in all very nice

30/12/2025: A charming hidden gem in portobello Dublin

02/12/2025: Grand little spot altogether. Popped in for a morning coffee last Saturday and couldn’t fault it – smooth, hot, and exactly what I needed to start the day. Ended up grabbing a nice bottle of wine for the evening as well. Staff were sound and the place has a lovely relaxed vibe.

25/11/2025: Great place to enjoy the live gig!!

20/11/2025: Terrible experience a few weeks ago, staff were disgustingly rude and treated all the customers that came in with such disrespect. I watched someone borderline scream at a customer at the cloakroom which is just unacceptable.

02/01/2026: We had a great diner! The restaurant atmosphere is very nice and the food delicious.

21/12/2025: Great service from the barman Murat. Friendly and professional, with a great sense of humour. He made us absolutely fabulous cocktails — delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommend!

06/03/2026: Had the most wonderful evening in Rudy's....the food and wine was superb and the service was 1st class. Will certainly be back.

14/02/2026: I don’t usually leave reviews, but I wanted to share this as I was genuinely disappointed, especially because Rudys used to be one of my go-to local restaurants. I visited Rudys for lunch last weekend. It has always been a place I trusted for good food, which made this experience a letdown. We ordered the full Irish breakfast plate and the spicy king prawn taco. The full Irish brea was slightly different than what it used to be. It was served on a regular plate instead of the iron plate and the overall quality didn’t seem as good as good before. But the prawn taco didn’t work at all. Instead of the fresh salad, sour cream and salsa-style sauce it normally comes with, it was completely full of purple cabbage coleslaw. The prawns and the purple cabbage coleslaw had no real balance in flavour and it didn’t feel like a taco. The mayonnaise was quite heavy and made the dish feel greasy Even the small details felt different. In the past, when asking for ketchup, we were given what seemed like a house-made version with a nicer flavour. This time, it was just regular ketchup. I didn’t complain on the day as I don’t plan to return, but it was disappointing to see the quality and attention drop at a local restaurant I used to really enjoy. I’m leaving this review out of disappointment rather than anger, and I hope the food improves again in the future.

10/12/2025: Kitchen closes at 7.45 so didn't get to eat. Really disappointing - they could make this clearer on their socials.

09/12/2025: Amazing pizza, friendly staff who're full of suggestions for other spots to visit, and delicious Guinness. Highly recommend.

03/01/2026: The hot chocolates and coffees are really good, there are kiosks to order, and the service is fast.

15/12/2025: It’s a very nice space, I go to a book club every month and the service is very good, the people are friendly and it has a comfortable space.

26/02/2026: Really good! I’ve had a lovely experience and I’ve been going there since 2005. They have the best tagine and biryani I’ve yet to taste in Dublin definitely recommend. The indoor seating gives a comfy cosy vibe to the place and the staff are more then welcoming and happy to help with any queries

19/02/2026: Came here on my own today for Iftar 🤲🌙 and had a really pleasant, relaxed experience. The staff were genuinely welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away 🤍😊. I ordered the lamb tagine with rice 🍛 and added a little Indian curry as a sauce on the side 😋 — the lamb was incredibly soft, juicy and full of flavour, literally falling off the bone 🦴🔥, which really says a lot about the cooking. They also kindly served me a lentil soup 🥣 — warm, comforting and very tasty 😌✨. Even though I was dining alone, the atmosphere felt calm and friendly, and it was a lovely way to break my fast 🌙💛. Overall, a nice and decent restaurant with good food, kind service and a peaceful vibe 🍽️🌟.
