The best restaurants in Dublin

22/12/2025: Great atmosphere, very authentic. And the price of the pint (5€) hasn't changed! Our first Guinness back in Ireland 😊

16/12/2025: Old school local Irish pub! Great.

20/03/2026: Very disappointed to write this , but what an appalling service. If I could, I'd give negative rating to this place. I wrote to them particularly while booking that we were two people with and a buggy before making my reservation and they accepted it. On reaching, they had very less accomodations for a buggy and here's the sad part- they did not even try to accommodate us, clearly wanted us to leave because they couldn't fit the buggy. We asked them twice even thrice if they could fit it- but they clearly said , "no, then we are sorry" There were a few Irish people sitting and they were obviously expecting more of them on a Friday evening, looking for more profit, which is clearly understood by this behavior. If they didn't have enough space they should have clearly told me before accepting the reservation or just by call. Even if they genuinely couldn't fit it- at least show that kind of behavior. Customers aren't dumb to not understand your motive. Absolutely pathetic experience and very pathetic on the restaurant's part. We had to leave. I'll never recommend this place to anyone and make sure none of my acquaintances visit here.

20/03/2026: Fantastic Friday lunch, delicious food

20/02/2026: WORST MEAL I HAVE EVER HAD IN A 'RESTAURANT' !!!!!Terrible dried out overcooked pizza and lasagne was similar! Small portions too !White wine was acid! Overall poor. 50e for two, definitely not!!!!!Avoid, never going back! 0 out of 5!

07/02/2026: excellent service great food ,warm environment will be back again for sure

23/02/2026: The place is nice, but we were a little disappointed with our experience. While food and service were all right, the food lacked somewhat in flavour and the service wasn’t very warm unfortunately. And the place was more kid-friendly than we expected- great for families but not exactly what we were looking for as a date night.

15/02/2026: Nothing exciting for the price. Food was mediocre

20/01/2026: One of the high points of our CIE tour. The singer was a gas. The food was top notch. We were 100% satisfied.

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!

21/03/2026: I come here sometimes great food, the service is good. Cozy and welcoming 🙃

21/03/2026: Visited for Mothers Day for a very special family celebration. Unforfunately was greeted by an extremely rude Maitre D' who caused a lot of unnecessary distress following a request to accommodate a guest with mobility issues. Fortunately other staff stepped in and resolved the issue, even providing a round of drinks by way of apology. The rest of the staff were exceptional and very kind.

15/10/2025: The food was amazing. Would go there every time I'm in dublin 🥰

09/10/2025: Nice intimate brekkie place in Dublim. Reasonable prices too.

13/03/2026: Amazing night out with my girls, would deffo recommend!!

11/03/2026: An incredibly disappointing stay. Having previously had positive experiences at House Dublin, I booked a two-night stay for my husband and myself. Upon arrival, we were informed that the entire communal space was off limits due to a private booking. My husband is unwell and we had planned a relaxing break in a space we knew and enjoyed. Instead, we found ourselves walking the rainy streets of Dublin looking for somewhere to spend the evening. We were also allocated Room 15, which is without question the worst room I have ever stayed in at House Dublin. The lighting is very poor, the room is extremely small, and the bathroom is completely impractical. The shower in particular is so tiny that I struggled to use it comfortably. As we were unable to avail of our welcome drink on the night of arrival due to the private event, we went down on our second night - only to be told there was another private event. We were “allowed” to have our drink but advised we would need to be finished by 6:30pm. Throughout our stay there was zero consideration shown to us as hotel guests, and absolutely no sense of hospitality. As I write this at 10:40pm, with The Prodigy’s Firestarter blaring in the background from the private event below, I have made the decision that I will never return to what was once a much-loved Dublin stay.

08/03/2026: Great local place for good food!

28/01/2026: Ivan’s is a fantastic local bar with a great vibe. Kaija was an amazing bartender super friendly, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience even better. We talked about everything and felt right at home. Highly recommend Ivan’s for good drinks and great conversations.

21/02/2026: Excellent! The best cappuccino I've had in the last 6 months!

24/11/2025: Stuff was very nice. Food was simple and average.

08/03/2026: My new local what more could you ask for.

07/02/2026: Fantastic bar with excellent table service when it's not crowded.

01/12/2025: A lovely, cosy wine bar with amazing food and service! We had a great night here as a large group - Michael and all the staff were so friendly and attentive. Would recommend the meatballs & aubergine parmigiana!

03/11/2025: A Fianco is incredible, we had a brilliant evening here and can’t recommend more highly.

08/01/2026: Really disappointed with the food, we had the bruschetta and prawn starters and carbonara and arriabata pasta for mains and the sauce was not a good standard. The sauce was very thick and 'gloopy' lacking a lot of flavour. Can't believe the food given some of the reviews, couldn't possibly try again.

31/12/2025: This establishment consistently delivers the finest pizzas in Dublin, and I hold it in high regard. Best of the best!

07/03/2026: I was so excited to finally visit Conor McGregor's UFC restaurant. Highly recommended. Delicious burger. Excellent dessert. Great atmosphere. Excellent beer.

07/03/2026: I met Conor McGregor himself. I recommend everyone try going there; there's a huge chance you'll meet him. He approaches every customer and starts a conversation. 10/10

19/11/2025: Found this pub really great. Superb staff and staff apart from one member of staff. A younger blonde woman who was quite unhappy and rude a couple of times while serving me. Overall well worth a visit
