The best restaurants in Dublin

25/07/2026: Ordered coffees and food at the same time and sat down. Food took a while but okay it was a bit busy that's fine. My drink never came out, we asked the waitress 3 times if it was coming and it never did. In the end it was over 40 mins waiting on one drink. You have to pre-pay so it was already paid for and couldn't be taken off a bill. I went out to wait in the car and my boyfriend basically had to stand there and direct them on how to make the drink to eventually receive it. Also they make it seem like salad comes free with a wrap when it's actually an extra €3 so be careful of this.

18/07/2026: Amazing food , great atmosphere and service would highly recommend A+++

31/07/2026: Visited your bar near Heuston after getting off the train, and it was a mistake. The guy serving drinks clearly has no business working as a bartender—he belongs behind a döner counter. I ordered a drink, paid, and didn’t tip. The look he gave me was purely hostile and uncalled for. If your staff can’t accept a plain bill without throwing a tantrum, maybe they should switch to serving street food instead of proper drinks. Zero professionalism. Won't be coming back.

18/06/2026: Pleasant clubby room with banquettes and a few low sofas. Good, prompt service and helpful wait staff. Varied menu covers European and other cuisines such as a rich Irish fish chowder, crispy tofu salad with falafel, burgers, large variety of draft beers and Irish whiskies. Very relaxing place.

16/07/2026: Cute little crêpe place, on the royal canal, with outdoor seating.

04/07/2026: Really good service and very tasty

24/07/2026: Amazing place as always! Adnan's your man for the service!

23/07/2026: Exquisite lamb. Every bite, from start to finish, was a blur of nothingness. Amazing.

09/07/2026: Good service and coffee. Excellent pastries.

04/07/2026: Really lovely Thai food and a great house red. Thank you very much

01/08/2026: Absolutely lovely cafe, great atmosphere. Super friendly staff and great tea and cakes

30/07/2026: Great place, really friendly and welcoming

18/07/2026: Went yesterday for dinner with my family. Nice staff and food.

28/06/2026: I will say this is partly my fault as i didn't complain Visited the black lion inn on a Saturday at lunch time for a dinner was served fast by lovely staff ordered a beef dinner the dinner arrived with plenty on the plate proceeded to eat food to discover the food was cold and so was the plate as i said partly my fault for not complaining as I was in a hurry back to work but would be nice to eat a hot dinner

10/07/2026: Some of the nicest people ever, really loved all the spicy food especially one of the curries (can't remember which one, unfortunately). Get the mango lassi!!

28/06/2026: Best place in town for a good kebab and price is good. Nice and friendly staff.

02/04/2026: Abysmal service - went in and ordered 2 sandwiches, after 45 minutes we noticed that the people who arrived after us were being served while we were still waiting. Went in and brought this up with the waitress who responded that it was on its way without actually checking. After highlighting that other people were getting their sandwiches after us, she actually went to check and saw that our docket was missing. I repeated out order and then 15m later our sandwiches came out, with two pastries as an apology which I thought was a nice gesture. However this was eclipsed by the fact that when I sat down to eat my lunch, one of the sandwiches was the wrong one. Would not return here again.

18/03/2026: We had the peri peri chicken and pulled pork sandwiches, and the chili bean bowl. All tasted really delicious. Ingredients were very fresh. Nothing artificial. Portions were very decent for the price too. Will definitely be back.

15/07/2026: Generous portions and very good food. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and I will be back!

30/06/2026: Great price, tasty and very large portion

10/07/2026: The service was lovely! The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. The coffee is just okay—fine for a quick fix but nothing special. The desserts are premade and supplied from elsewhere, so they lack that fresh café feel. The location/area isn't the best, and the store cleanliness definitely needs improving. It could use a thorough deep clean. Handy for a quick takeaway from a nice team, but the environment means I wouldn't rush back to sit in.

01/07/2026: Located conveniently next to most of the city bus stops with plenty of seating, inside and outside. I had chicken ciabatta with tomato and pesto. The ciabatta was crispy, the combination is good with an adequate breakfast quantity of food. I washed it all down with a decent cappuccino. Nice service. The only thing which I didn't enjoy was the tomato in the ciabatta. It was slightly on the unripe side, pale red and translucent. That would have given it the freshness and slight acidity which we would expect from a tomato on sandwich/burger. My personal preference felt that the pesto would have helped with a tiny bit more of garlic, just my opinion, its still enjoyable.

31/07/2026: Food is always well prepared and staff are nice every time we come in. Quick service even tho is always busy

28/07/2026: Horrible place in general. Very slow, foods not cooked fully and horrible attitude.

18/11/2025: Very good food and we really appreciate our server Aayushi for her good recommendations and warm hospitality.

15/11/2025: It was more good then I was expecting 💯🔥

14/07/2026: Delicious food, friendly staff. They obviously have an amazing chef! Gambas and mussels! Highly recommended.

03/07/2026: Absolutely ridiculous order food to takeaway and don't even have a fork what a joke won't be going back thanks but no thanks

24/07/2026: Always great for the very best Cappuccino around.

21/07/2026: Not a great experience personally I think our group were all not impressed by the service (left waiting over 20 minutes for drinks) (over 1 and a half hours for the food we ordered) and when the food eventually came out it was very unpleasant, I can't say it was inedible, just very lacking in taste. Menu wasn't great either not much selection. We were so disappointed that it would put us off giving O'Dwyers a second chance because I do know restaurants and pub grub can have "off days" So in my personal opinion I would steer clear
