The best restaurants in Dublin

07/06/2026: I absolutely loved the view here. It’s the kind of place where you can sit for hours, enjoy the scenery, and completely lose track of time. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even better. The only downside for me was the coffee. I ordered a cappuccino, but both the taste and the foam were a bit disappointing and didn’t meet my expectations. That said, I’m willing to give it another try, as it may have been an off day rather than a reflection of their usual quality. Despite that, it’s a lovely spot with a great atmosphere, beautiful views, and excellent service. I’d happily visit again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind.

09/04/2026: A little gem, great coffee, excellent food choice (vegan & gluten free options) and delicious, staff are so friendly and welcoming.

12/06/2026: What a great upgrade! Loved it and will certainly be back soon!

03/06/2026: We had a lovely lunch today food and service excellent just one criticism why the miniscule bottles of coke which are only suitable as a mixer not as a main drink .

26/09/2025: This is a lovely cafe. Very clean and well looked after with excellent service. Great coffee, but also great food, which is a rare combination, as most cafes offer you ham & cheese and BLT. Food here is very nicely cooked and presented. Highly recommended.

18/09/2025: Excellent service and variety of food is very good and tasty. However the Prices have been significantly Increased and regretfully our 10 year relationship has been terminated as a result.. Pity!

06/05/2026: The pizza was delivered on time and was excellent will get again

26/03/2026: Great friendly staff, food grand.

09/06/2026: My husband and I stayed here for three nights in early May in a Heritage Room. We cannot say enough great things about our time here. The room was beautiful and had well thought-out design touches like hooks around the room. The location is perfect for having a lovely seaside stay or taking the DART into Dublin. The breakfast was delicious. But most of all, the staff provide exceptional levels of service and attention. We received the warmest welcome from Bianca, who helped us with questions each day. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you, Bianca!

31/05/2026: We booked The Parlour for a cocktail before dinner in Oliveto, both were superb. My friends all loved their cocktails and the decor in The Parlour is fab. Staff were excellent too. We shared 3 small plates between 5 of us in Oliveto and everyone loved them. Mains were super tasty too. Wines were lovely and desserts shared were lovely too. Our waitress was excellent as well, making sure to replace our water without being asked and topping up wine. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!

20/05/2026: We visited yesterday and were left genuinely disappointed by our experience. We ordered 2 pints, chicken wings, and garlic cheese chips, coming to €40, which already felt steep. When the chips arrived, we were surprised to find the “garlic” element was simply 3 to 4 raw, roughly chopped garlic cloves dumped on top, completely overpowering and inedible. We politely asked if we could swap to the bacon cheese chips instead, but what came back appeared to be the exact same dish, simply reheated. We know this for certain because we had put a small amount of ketchup on the chips before requesting the change, and the replacement plate came back with the same ketchup stains still visible. Nothing had changed. When we raised our concern, we were told “it is what it is”, which we found dismissive and frankly unprofessional. Even your own waitress visibly reacted to the amount of garlic on the plate. We are not ones to complain, but €40 for this experience, the food quality, the refusal to properly address our request, and the indifferent attitude, was not acceptable. We would welcome a response and hope this is taken as constructive feedback.

07/05/2026: A lovely layout with a well equipped beer garden, which included tv. This was very welcome for the large groups of Man Utd & some Liverpool fans. The food was delicious and the Guinness was 👍 Staff were efficient & friendly.

01/08/2025: Off the beaten tourist path, little cafe. Workers are beyond friendly. Place is filled with locals (good sign) and wondering tourists. Solid scone and coffee for me. My son’s breakfast sandwich was solid as well. Compared to the crazy prices around the area, this was a 5 star stop for a no frills friendly breakfast. If you’re expecting something really fancy, this ain’t the place for you.

21/07/2025: Just left, good place. Outdated menu prices. Small breakfast 10 euros.

15/03/2026: Good pizza is served here. Lots of selection of what you want. Prices are decent. Staff is good. There is no dining inside.

07/03/2026: There is beef in veggie pizza.. Disaster

19/05/2026: Didn't expect this place to have the best burritos/tacos I've had since moving to Ireland but very pleasantly surprised! The staff are nice and answered customer questions about options/ingredients, they had a good selection, and very reasonably priced for a downtown spot with great portions and fresh food. The vibe/format is Build Your Own burrito/bowl/tacos with a few standard builds you can just pick from - kind of a less corporate Chipotle but better food. It's maybe not the most authentic, but it has a nice enough TexMex vibe you can get at plenty of joints in the U.S. It made me miss home. Will definitely be back!

14/05/2026: Awful service, will do every take away order before you and waited 15 mins even no queue, nobody acknowledges you - they close the seating and toilet 30 mins before closing so they can all get off as soon as they close and it’s run by young kids evidently.

08/10/2025: Extremely nice staff and the chai is sooo good!! I Absolutely recommend 😛😛

04/10/2025: Such lovely staff, with great service! Anna was so nice and welcoming, but so were also the others! We ate a lovely lunch there and it was so good that we had to come back the day after 😃🤩. Their hot chocolate and chai is also superb!! Will go back!!

16/05/2026: Awful Food, will not repeat. Service was fine. Crab meat ravioli was actually just 95% mushroom with some crab shell. Carbonara was less than basic. Greek salad for 14€ was similar quality to a old tesco meal deal salad with about 3€.

14/05/2026: Service was lovely, and the restaurant was very nice. Unfortunately the sirloin stake was very chewy and fatty.

10/03/2026: The best breakfast around Clondalkin....

22/08/2025: Super delicious coffee. And amazing sandwiches/bagels/paninis/muffins, etc.

16/08/2025: Nice cafe with lovely ciabatta toasties.

25/03/2026: Good spot for a pint, would return

21/03/2026: Class bar, class bouncer, everything about this place is %100
