The best restaurants in Dublin

26/10/2025: Ciao raggazi, Enjoyed a cold one with my boys. One of my lads fell in love with a girl love by first sight kinda thing. Höllebölle! Piacere!

15/07/2025: The moso and the food were spectacular, the best Guinness in Dublin really.

19/10/2025: It is said you should judge places by how they solve problems. If that is true, this place gets an A+. So it started great, the building is stunning and beautifully presented, the lighting is beautiful, the glass dome over the main area is magnificent. The staff were quick to look after us and the set menu had some nice options. Food was nice and the portions were generous. Then after the mains we were kinda forgotten about, so after 40 mins one of our party went up to the main desk to complain .. Nicely. The response was quick and without excuses, service resumed, apologies offered and we went back to a high standard of service. Would I go back, absolutely.

16/10/2025: One of the Best steak I've ever had and that sticky toffee pudding .....

13/09/2025: Would not serve us because we were English and apparently too drunk when we had just left hotel

23/08/2025: Lovely bar with real people from real dublin. Big up Jay and his hammer

22/10/2025: Excellent service, friendly and attentive. Food and cocktails were great. Perfect for a pre- theatre dinner. Nice atmosphere.

20/10/2025: Lovely food served by a very helpful young waiter.

01/07/2025: We love this four star. The staff are very good 👍🏻 Pizzas are simply delicious 😋

20/05/2025: We've been ordering from this pizza place for a while and always enjoyed the food. On my last order, there was a misunderstanding, and I wasn’t happy with how it turned out. However, I received a call from Marcel, and I was really impressed by how professionally and kindly he handled the situation. Thanks to his great customer service, I was sent a substitute order, which I was very satisfied with. More than anything, I appreciated the way the issue was addressed. Excellent food & service — I’d definitely recommend this place!

10/09/2025: Great food. Got meals for a group event at my office and everyone loved them. It was easy to order and arrived right on time.

04/09/2025: The food’s really good and not that pricey, portions are just right. Staff are super friendly, and you can take your time picking what you want – if you’re unsure, just ask. Inside there’s usually enough space to chill, plus they’ve got some free sauces you can grab. All in all, a solid spot – perfect if you’re nearby and want something quick but tasty.

18/10/2025: Lovely food. Great quick service even though very busy.

09/10/2025: Turkish eggs are divine! Great for solo dining. Thank you!

16/10/2025: Loud live music when we visited, liked by most.

21/09/2025: I love this venue, great fun and best staff around.

05/10/2025: an amazing cozy spot for brunch or even work, the coffee was good and the sandwiches amazing! board games available to spend the time with others too

19/09/2025: Amazing coffee and vibe! A must when in Stoneybatter

07/10/2025: Sorry but sandwiches are not worth the price. Crazy money to be paying over €10 for a sandwich to go and is a reflection of Dublin and wrip off prices. I must be honest and say that the sandwiches are only ok. Very good flat white I will say and staff are very sound but price for a sandwich is crazy!

07/08/2025: Excellent cafe. Great coffee, quality food and quick and friendly service. The coffee is so good, I'll be late to work to make sure I get it

10/07/2025: 10/10 experience, would definitely recommend. I came in early on a Thursday evening and was met with the whole place buzzing with a great atmosphere. The food and drink were absolutely delicious and the service super friendly, especially the waitress Kamila. She recommended and made me an absolutely amazing cocktail. Will definitely be back.

05/07/2025: Had tapas and drinks here last night and found it throughly mediocre in all aspects. The food was defiantly not worth returning for.

17/09/2025: Camile Thai in Rathmines has vegan options. One item was missing unfortunately

11/09/2025: Good food and friendly, efficient service. Thank you!

17/09/2025: Somebody significant has left the kitchen. It is not the same as before.

31/08/2025: I ordered a takeaway from Veda on the evening of Saturday 2 August as I have done several times before. However I woke up twice later that night and was violently sick with food poisoning. I suspect the problem was the rice which was very dry when I received it and felt like it had been sitting around for a while. In any event I spent the next 2 days in bed which included missing a day off work. I emailed Veda on Sunday 3 August with no reply and then again on Tuesday 5 August - again no response. I called the restaurant on Friday 8 August and explained what had happened and was told I would receive a call back. In the absence of a call I phoned again on Wednesday 13 August and was again told I would be contacted. Finally I called again on Saturday 16 Augusta and spoke to the manager who told me he had spoken to the owners. The manager did not apologise for my food poisoning and indeed suggested it may not have been caused by Veda. I explained this could not have been the case as Veda was the only meal I had eaten in the 12 hours before I became ill. I had requested a refund of my meal which cost circa €32 and was offered a voucher for €20. This appears to be the standard offer which I note from the previous review submitted by Eimear Kelly. Unfortunately I will not be returning to Veda - partially due to the horrific food poisoning but also due to the very poor customer service I received after I was ill.

22/09/2025: *P. S pictures are from DADA’s restaurant who provided an amazing service after being disappointed by Alfie’s** -At Alfie’s, we had the worst service from supposed manager Johnathan, Carlos and Simon. Visited for a pre-booked birthday with my parents, siblings and some friends. This was one the worst service I’ve ever experienced. On booking, we had informed them that we needed a long booking. We were not informed that the booking was just for two hours. Booked for 7pm on a Saturday. Deposit and all paid. -Arrived with a party of about 20 plus guests, guests arrived from 6:30 pm, were ordering drinks. Food Menus were not brought to the table guests who arrived from 7 onwards. Around 8pm, waiters started rushing guests to order food because they had another reservation in the area at 9pm. Reservations team never informed us that the booking was only for two hours. We were under the impression that we had booked ‘till late’’. We were rushed to order food which everyone did. -We were being served by the upstairs manager Carlos or Jonathan who was extremely rude to guests, poor body language, rolling his eyes at customers. They eventually took everyone’s food order by 8.20 pm and a few moments later, we were informed that they had cancelled everyone’s food order at the discretion of the upstairs manager Carlos because he was asked by one of our guests why he was being so rude to us. We asked severally why our food order was cancelled but no one gave us any answers. Carlos disappeared and was no where to be found after asking several waiters and manager Simon. No one knew his location. The downstairs manager Simon was asked to get Carlos to speak to us and explain why the food order for over 20 people was cancelled. He ignored us repeatedly and could not provide any resolution. There was a language barrier with communicating with Simon as all he did was shrug his shoulders and saying he does not know and was unable to provide any answers or the irrelevant person responsible for cancelling everyone’s food order. We even tried to ask other waiters of Carlos’s/Johnathan’s whereabouts,they obviously had no conscience or mind of their own because manager Simon pointed fingers at one of the waiters and said ‘do your job!’ In such a rude manner even I couldn’t believe how he was speaking to his own staff in front of customers. -Carlos went into hiding and was not seen again during the night. As managers, they collectively have no people management skills. Almost ruined our night but we took ourselves to another nearby Moroccan restaurant called ‘DADA’ nearby who were able to manage a big group effectively and had the most amazing time at Dada’s for my sister’s birthday. P.S pictures are from Dada’s as I can’t sing enough praise of how amazing the food and service was at Dada’s. Service was super quick, waiters were attentive and friendly, more space (Alfie’s was like being inside a tin of sardines) they even sang happy birthday and gave the birthday girl a complimentary cheese cake at DADA’s. I would highly recommend DADA’s

22/09/2025: On Saturday evening I went there and had a wonderful experience. The food, drinks, and service were excellent, especially Manager Simon, who was very warm and welcoming.

26/08/2025: Oredered cake for my daughter, amazing decoration and delicious taste (fresh cream and strawberries) and yet price is so affordable. I wish they had more options for cake fillings.

06/08/2025: I ordered a cake for my husbands 40th birthday celebration, it was in a fabulous box and even came with candles, it tasted absolutely delicious and if we ever return to Dublin I will most definitely be ordering another cake! Thank you.
