The best restaurants in Dublin

11/09/2025: Great value for money! Lovely little hotel, the room was clean and cosy and felt safe. Located in a nice quiet neighbourhood, only a 10 minute walk away from Drumcondra rail and bus station, and about a 30 minute walk into the city centre. Can't comment on the food/restaurant part as we did not make use of that, but staff were very friendly and helpful. The only thing I'd say is, do bring some earplugs, otherwise your peace will very much be in the hands of whoever happens to be staying in the room(s) next to yours, as the walls are quite thin. Would definitely stay again nonetheless!

04/09/2025: A little far from restaurants and the central area. Average price for the area but clean and quiet

04/08/2025: I have so many fond memories of The Clarence. When I heard of the substantial renovations it was about to undergo, I decided to book a stay there at the end of July as a sort of 'goodbye' to the scene of so many good times. Though some of the rooms have been looking a bit worn of late, 303 was still in great condition. Check-in was easy, and the sets of double windows minimized noise from the quays. There is a real charm to the look and feel of the rooms - the well-built, practical cabinets, the subtle gold tiling accenting the bath. I fear most of it will be replaced by whatever happens to be trendy as the refit is undertaken, but hopefully some of what made the place special will survive. Most of all, it's a real loss to see the hotel staff scattered to the winds. I sadly didn't get his name, but I'd like to especially highlight the kindness and care of the staff member who was manning reception on August 4th. I nipped in with a last minute request, and he (and the colleague he found to assist me) could not have been more gracious, even as the hotel was being packed up and closed around him. So long to The Clarence. What a great run.

25/07/2025: Great place in Temple Bar. Steps away from pubs, restaurants, and historic sites. Right on the River Liffey.

07/05/2025: Very friendly and accommodating.

28/03/2025: Had coffee and acai bowl at the lab just on the grounds. Was fab staff so friendly too

02/10/2025: Nice oldskool looking burgerspot with kind service of Willian B. Burgers and (seasoned) fries! Bonus points for the Ariana Grande fan back in the kitchen

01/10/2025: Bizzarly the chicken burger was lukewarm in the middle, the chips were burned... The Guinness was absolutely grand tho tbh. Ketchup despinser was also empty and the staff didn't seem to care. It's weird because usually this place is spot on with the food.

15/10/2025: It was an amazing experience. You don't even need a knife for the beef rib, it was so juicy and tasty. It is my first time in Ireland, but I will definitely come back from Cyprus just to eat this beautiful meat. Service was amazing as well, everyone was so friendly.

14/10/2025: Probably the best beef ribs I’ve ever had.

01/07/2025: Chapter & Verse is amazing! They are just across the street from me and they always help with last-minute orders. On-time deliveries, and the team is kind and quick in their responses. I really recommend them. Thanks Eoin and the team.

30/06/2025: Ordered 2 breakfast rolls, 5 minutes within ordering my food I rang them to add dietary requirements( it says ring restaurant to add dietary requirements),as there is no option when ordering and was told the order left the shop? Within 5 minutes of ordering food? So firstly not fresh and secondly they wouldn’t let me add my preference said well cancel your order and reorder it? Not happy at all not a good service. If you are ordering food you should be allowed to give dietary requirements. Won’t be ordering again

27/08/2025: My Pony has a Marmite fixation Plump glass jar Salty Tar That’s it.

22/08/2025: Asked for an iced americano only to be charged the price of an iced latte, an uncharge of over €1.50. Ridiculous, can’t conceive the need to charge extra for a drink that should realistically not even cost €3, let alone €4.95 for a drink with no milk.

29/10/2025: Very friendly staff. They always make me feel welcome. Food is out of this world and the quality is consistent every time I've eaten there. The price is also reasonable considering the massive portions.

26/10/2025: very disappointed tastes dry too expensive not happy with this don't buy the food i feel nauseous

19/10/2025: Great Italy close to the center!!!

18/10/2025: The food was amazing, the service was pleasant, the environment was great.

25/10/2025: First time at Hogs & Heifers and not the last. Burger was seared but juicy - Super tasty! Our waiter Kelvin was super friendly and attentive. 10/10 service and food.

24/10/2025: We had a great experience tonight here at h+h, we got served by Denis and have to say such a friendly helpful guy thanks for all those good suggestions. Food was great, very tasty 10/10 from us.

04/08/2025: El café sabía a agua, los dos teníamos Americano y IT NO tenía sabor. El interior era agradable y limpio. No probé ningún alimento

01/07/2025: Amazing place they have a ground level and underground quiet area and it is by far the nicest Costa ive visited

05/07/2025: Lovely hotel and staff. The hallway outside our room got pretty noisy because people don’t know how to close doors quietly!

11/06/2025: The Fitzwilliam Hotel Dublin is a stylish, five-star experience from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—right on St. Stephen’s Green and just steps from Grafton Street, perfect for exploring the city. The rooms are modern, elegant, and incredibly comfortable, with lovely touches that make your stay feel special. The staff are exceptional—warm, professional, and genuinely attentive to every detail. The breakfast is fantastic, with a great selection of high-quality options, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed yet luxurious. Whether you’re in Dublin for business or leisure, this hotel is a perfect choice. Highly recommended!

14/08/2025: On August 11th, I had an unpleasant situation. My friend and I went in for lunch and sat at one of the last 3-4 tables outside. Shortly after, the waitress came and she told us that we had to go inside to be seated, because sometimes customers are standing in line for a table. I said that we didn’t know and apologized. To which the waitress replied that this was not my first time here and should have known. This statement was completely disturbing as neither I need to memorize how operations work in your coffee shop nor I felt secured someone tracking my earlier visits. On my last visit, I first saw this waiter when I went inside to see what desserts were available and to place an order, to which she rather rudely told me that I needed to sit at a table first. So on this visit, we immediately sat at a table. It sounds like your place either lacks proper training or staff is treating based on their mood. I also observed that this waitress did not approach other customers the same way which made us feel further down. Previously, I visited this cafe years back, there were no waiters, and everyone just sat outside. Regardless, this is nowhere near how a service should be provided in this industry. Then my friend and I paid the bill, said thank you, goodbye, to which the waitress remained silent, tried not to look at us, looked unhappy. At that moment an elderly woman came up and asked her a question about the payment, she also answered unkindly. We left a little shocked and realized everything after we had previously been in a good mood, but after that it was spoiled. I have never encountered such service in this cafe, I always liked this place and the staff. As in principle, it is unusual to see such service in Ireland after many years of living here. I very often visit different coffee shops and restaurants in the city and this is the first time I encountered such low level of service.

07/08/2025: I do love having a cup of coffee with a nice piece of pastry or a nice salad in the backyard on a sunny day here

19/10/2025: A Delightful Dining Experience at Morrison Grill and Quay 14 Bar My partner and I had a memorable dining experience at the Morrison Grill, followed by drinks at the Quay 14 Bar. From the moment Lena and I arrived, we were greeted by the lovely staff, whose warm welcome set the tone for the evening. The food at Morrison Grill is absolutely delicious. Each dish is crafted with care, showcasing a delightful blend of flavours that cater to a variety of tastes. Whether you're a fan of hearty entrees or lighter fare, there's something for everyone to enjoy. After our meal, we headed to Quay 14 Bar for drinks. The bar offers a fantastic selection of beverages, making it the perfect spot to unwind and reflect on the wonderful dining experience. Overall, we highly recommend you to visit to both the Morrison Grill and Quay 14 Bar. With exceptional service, delectable food, tasty drinks and a welcoming ambiance, it's one Dublin dining establishment that you won't want to miss when you are visiting Dublin!

05/10/2025: Gay couple denied seating in Dining room, shunted to bar by hostess citing “it’s all reserved”. Nonsense.

06/10/2025: Food was ok, irish stew a bit lacking in lamb but otherwise acceptable. Drink selection is great and service was good (have to go up to order everything). The standout was the entertainment which was a one man show but he did a great job

01/10/2025: You order from the bar food/drinks. The service behind the bar was slammed but did not take very long considering. The cottage pie (beef with veggies with mashed potatoes) was AMAZING
