The best restaurants in Dublin

29/09/2025: Food was well cooked, well presented and came respectably quick. Staff were attentive, even when it was busy. The benches are very straight, so maybe some would get uncomfortable after an extended period - but food, service and atmosphere are well worth a visit

28/09/2025: Love Courtney's!! Favourite pub in lucan!! 😊

14/06/2026: Loose Cannon is a cute little wine bar with a great atmosphere and a fantastic spot for people-watching. We grabbed seats in the window, enjoyed a delicious toastie, and had some excellent wine. The food and drinks were exactly what we were hoping for. The only downside was the service. This was quite literally the only place we’ve visited in Dublin where we felt unwelcome. There were no smiles, no warm interactions, and the overall vibe felt surprisingly negative. It was hard to tell whether the staff were having an off day or just weren’t particularly interested in engaging with visitors. That said, it’s still a cool spot with good food, good wine, and a charming setting.

06/06/2026: The sandwiches are excellent and the wine is very good, a bit pricey but very good.

06/05/2026: AMAZING came countless times, always with good quality, portion and services

04/05/2026: Bit of a disaster. Floor staff were nice but there was no food coming out of the kitchen. Everyone in the restaurant was annoyed waiting for the food. The cocktails were badly prepared. No sign of a manager, just teenagers trying to run the place. When food finally arrived it was mediocre and small portions. We were still hungry when we left so got pizza at home. Won’t be back.

12/11/2025: Always a great place to visit - Had there hot soup today and it was delicious - Great friendly Staff

10/07/2025: The pies and pastries look lovely in the fridge until the staff stick them in the microwave and destroy the pastry. Guys invest in a toaster oven!

27/10/2025: Excellent cappuccino with plant-based milk. The scores are delicious.

26/10/2025: Great coffee shop near Trinity College. Nice place to pop in for some breakfast. Lovely coffee , lovely scones and sandwiches. All the staff are very friendly. Worth a visit 👍

17/11/2025: Good pub, would recommend for a quiet solo pint. Manager has gone very corporate lately. Like a 2010s DJ he used to be cool now he’s pandering to the masses. Do I like the guy? Yes I do. Am I happy with him at the moment? No I’m not. Am I the best looking guy in Rathgar? Yes I am.

11/10/2025: Reallly nice pub, staff are brilliant and great atmosphere

02/04/2026: The staff are rude and incompetent. The rooms are dated and dirty. The food is awful. It looks pretty but it's possibly the most unpleasant place I ever stayed in. Just awful. The worst hotel inn town by a long way

02/04/2026: Fading fast. Worn carpets, dirty and poorly maintained rooms. Grubby , dated bathrooms. Very poor service from rude management. Terrible bars. This place is awful.

15/04/2026: The food is decent, but the management here is terrible and extremely greedy

15/04/2026: The management is particularly poor, and the food is average

01/08/2025: Went to Ohana during Dublin Cocktail Week and had a great time. Had a passion fruit Cocktail which was amazing! 😃 🍸 🍹

31/07/2025: Very disappointing service. O’Hana’s cancelled my daughter’s hen party cocktail making class with only 2 days notice due to renovations. Over a week later and still no refund despite multiple emails and texts. Very very poor service. Avoid!

08/05/2026: Best butter of my life. Really.

01/05/2026: Hmmm…..there are so many better options in the area. Very little chicken in the Tikka Masala and quality not particularly great. Sauce very watery with an overpowering lemon taste. Very, very mediocre.

19/10/2025: Traditional Irish pub. Friendly staff.

18/10/2025: Fantastic pints of stout. Proper pub.

08/10/2025: I’ve been coming here regularly to play pool. Had the pleasure of meeting the new manger Colin last night. He made me feel very welcome and is definitely bringing a bit of needed life and spirit into this spot ! Looking forward to coming back

28/09/2025: Staying at the Grand Canal Hotel, we opted for this place for dinner. Very good service, a quiet atmosphere, and good food.

05/06/2026: Used to be a super place with lovely cocktails… now they “optimized” things and pouring flat prosecco with Pornstar Martini cocktail, not adding passion fruit :( Used to go here for the cocktail but obviously need to find an alternative.

02/06/2026: Friendliest staff and amazing spicy margaritas! Girls in the staff are kind and accommodating, ergo we keeps to come back!

28/09/2025: Loved this place!!! So sad its closed

16/09/2025: Nice restaurant. Service was really slow but staff were friendly.

15/11/2025: Great coffee and nice outdoor space.

26/10/2025: Great coffee and great customer service. My go to!
