The best restaurants in Dublin

16/06/2025: My girlfriend and I get takeaway here every few weeks and we went to the physcial restaurant last month and wow the staff were so friendly and the food was so delicious (as always). My girlfriend left the restaurant to run to Tesco across the street as we forgot something for the house when we went earlier- unfortunately the Tesco was closed and the staff at Zakura were so kind in trying to assist us in getting whatever it was that we remembered we needed! I have never met such nice people. The sushi is always amazing and so fresh- we really wouldn't get sushi anywhere else now. Getting it for dinner tonight too!

13/06/2025: My family and I love this restaurant. The staff are always so friendly and the food is to die for. The tempura sushi roll is out of this world. My youngest daughter loves the salmon sashimi. We eat here every time we are in Dublin. No matter where.

07/07/2025: Best point of Guinness in Dublin by far

06/07/2025: Best pint of Guinness we had in Dublin. The vibes were great - staff and other patrons made it a lot of fun. Would absolutely recommend!

02/07/2025: Bella our server was so helpful

01/07/2025: Loved it. Definitely go and try the grilled Nashville Hot wrap and Mac & cheese with bacon. You won't regret it!

09/06/2025: Great venue, great staff.. Fab food and cocktails

02/06/2025: Beautiful surroundings, very friendly staff. I give ten stars for the coffee, the coffee is simply delicious. The food is very nice to look at. I recommend the crab sandwich. The onion rigs are absolutely amazing. If you are in Dalkey, come for breakfast/lunch.

28/06/2025: It used to be a great Italian place! Not anymore... the menu has changed and the food is ok. The staff were lovely though. Such a shame! Don't think I would be coming back here.

28/06/2025: Our group had a lovely evening together at RIBA. Excellent service, food and ambiance.

18/06/2025: Amazing food and amazing service. Will definitely return.

02/06/2025: Very clean brasserie with trained staff who know how to meet your needs. The cuisine is excellent, I recommend.

24/06/2025: An incredible fine dining experience in a pleasant and quiet atmosphere. The staff were so lovely: knowledgeable about the menu, personable, charismatic and present. The food was delicious and very creatively composed with unique spice pairings, and elaborate cooking and plating. Their duck breast with artichokes was divine and their tart of the day was a beautiful blend of textures, temperatures and flavours. A must-try if you're looking for an elegant evening with delicious food!

24/06/2025: Mamó is just too good 🤗 We had the ray wings in buffalo sauce with blue cheese Cod chips Langoustine Rabbit pasta Cote du Beouf with roast potatoes & curried cauliflower Strawberry tart for dessert

16/06/2025: I have been coming to Schoolhouse for many years, and always come back. Rooms are nice and cozy and I love the fact that they are named after Irish writers. The pub/restaurant is wonderful with helpful and friendly staff, I never miss their fish goujons and their house salad with a good glass of red wine! Even better, if in the garden!

15/06/2025: A Beautiful Experience – Exceptional Service and Atmosphere We recently hosted our civil ceremony dinner at the Schoolhouse and also arranged guest accommodation—and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional. The dinner was beautifully set up, the food was delicious and received so many compliments from our guests, and the atmosphere was just perfect—elegant yet relaxed. The guest rooms were equally impressive: charming, comfortable, and spotless. Everyone felt very well looked after, and the whole experience ran smoothly from start to finish. We’re so grateful to the entire team for making our special day even more memorable. Highly recommended for anyone planning an event or simply looking for a great place to stay in Dublin!

24/06/2025: A very atmospheric place, especially if you love Joyce's Dublin. Food was ok. We don't drink, so having a pint or two would likely be a plus to the experience. The staff was friendly, but very... relaxed. Not a place for a quick bite to be sure.

24/06/2025: I had the red Thai curry with chicken. It was excellent. The service was very friendly and cheerful. The lounge has a wonderful atmosphere.

06/07/2025: The Guinness yesterday was the best I've had in years

06/07/2025: Stopped off for a few drinks on the way to croke park. Very nice staff and lovely surroundings

19/06/2025: Excellent food and very nice service ! I highly recommend this place. I had the filled pasta of the day, it was divine !

11/06/2025: Amazing staff and phenomenal food!

09/06/2025: Unique place and atmosphere. Typical Irish pub with live Irish music. Good prices. Must visit

08/06/2025: We came in here initially for some dinner, knowing we'd probably be pushing our luck as it was 7pm on a Saturday. We walked in and it was rammed, and asked at the bar about getting a table to be told by a very stressed man that he had 25 people to look after and basically flapped us out the bar. The music was good though so after finding dinner elsewhere we decided to chance it again later in the evening about 8:30pm. It was still super busy but we got served relatively quickly at the bar (and service with a smile here, grumpy man was running round the pub still it seemed!) and listened to some great music. Pints were reasonably priced too. Overall, great atmosphere and really good live music, but the service left little to be desired.

16/06/2025: Intimate restaurant with great food!

14/06/2025: Food good. The prices are outrageous, €205 for 2 mains and 2 starters with normal drinks and 1 bottle of wine It's more like a coffee shop in terms ambiance. I'd heard a lot about Etto and it might be trading on its past. I'll never go back.

17/06/2025: Nos topamos con este restaurante de pescado mientras estábamos de paseo en Clontarf un domingo, y nos alegramos de haberlo hecho. Tiene una entrada poco imponente - no necesita una, ya que la comida habla por sí misma. El ambiente era perfecto, el vino sabroso y la comida excelente. El servicio era amable y justo el lado derecho de no intrusivo. Tuvimos Langostinos a la Espanola y Picador de Mariscos para empezar. Deliciosa. Seguido de esto con Paella de Marisco y Bacalao Signature. Recomendaría encarecidamente todos los platos, impecable. Definitivamente volveré.

09/06/2025: Anytime again. Great food. Great service. Always happy to come back.

17/06/2025: Super friendly staff and great coffee

12/06/2025: Best coffe in South Dublin! I’m a big fan of capuccinos and is the best one so far I’ve tried in Dublin. They also are very nice guys!
