The best restaurants in Rush

09/06/2026: I've been a regular here for a while now, and there's a lot to love — the food is genuinely premium quality, the taste is consistently excellent, and while the prices reflect that, you get what you pay for. That said, I do have one gripe that keeps this from being a five-star experience: the tip culture. I've personally noticed a visible difference in how staff interact with customers depending on whether a tip is given or not — and that's a little uncomfortable. For a takeaway order where there's no table service involved, the expectation to tip feels misplaced. The quality of service shouldn't hinge on a discretionary gratuity, especially in a counter-service setting. Overall, a great bakery with outstanding products — but the experience would be much more welcoming if every customer was treated equally, regardless of tipping.

10/05/2026: Had to que for 15 minutes to buy a croissant as most of the people in front of me were ordering coffee. Should be a separate que for bread and pastry purchases only.

05/07/2026: Many years ago this used to be a pleasant pub with decent food but it's been a while since I've enjoyed an outing here. Food is mediocre at best. The young staff are pleasant but the atmosphere is uncomfortable with music blasting from tinny speakers making it impossible to carry on a conversation without raised voices. Unfortunately that has become normal practice in Dublin restaurants and pubs. It means we eat and leave instead of whiling away a pleasant evening with a few drinks. And then pubs wonder why we prefer to socialize at home with a takeaway!

25/06/2026: I usually try to order as many courses as possible when going to a restaurant for the first time. We ordered: seafood chowder - tasty, but a bit too salty for my taste; housemade chicken liver pâté - not the worst I’ve had, but not the best either. I could easily live without it; hot wings - incredibly sour! Not sure why they added vinegar to them (it might have been lemon juice, but it really tasted like strong vinegar); beef nachos - very tasty, but we didn’t get to finish them and they got soggy by the time we got home with them. I recommend them if you’re into Tex-Mex food; breaded mushrooms - we absolutely loved the mushrooms. We felt sorry we only had 6! They were very crispy and paired perfectly with the sauce, just lacking salt, but that can be easily fixed; chicken strips with fries - loved both the chicken (very crispy on the outside and tender on the inside) and the fries. The fries needed some salt as they don’t come seasoned; sirloin steak - steak is always tasty, but this one had lots of tendons and we kept having to remove them from our mouths (not very pleasant to do in a restaurant, but they didn’t provide any toothpicks); the Buffalo chicken burger - my friend really enjoyed it; and the linguini prawns - such a disappointment! Again, very sour, and I’m not sure why the cook added vinegar. As we couldn’t finish everything, I took the linguini prawns home and added some prawns and mussels, sweet curry, garlic, and nacho cheese cream, and they turned out quite nicely. I ordered lemonade and received some sort of Sprite in a glass. I didn’t like it, but I wasn’t aware they weren’t serving homemade lemonade. My friends ordered a Guinness and a Sprite. The total bill was around €190, which doesn’t seem much considering all the food we ordered, but it’s quite expensive considering we actually enjoyed only half of it. We wanted to order dessert, but it was quite busy and we gave up, so no review for the dessert. I would say we’ll leave it for next time, but I wouldn’t go back. The staff are nice and seem quite knowledgeable. They are doing a great job, and the place is buzzing and quite pleasant, but we weren’t impressed with the food, which is the main reason we went there in the first place: to enjoy a good dinner. Thank you to both the chef and the staff; we had a pleasant evening overall. Taste is something very personal, and some people might completely disagree with my opinion, so you can give it a try yourself. I admit that my taste buds are a bit pretentious...

29/06/2026: Popped in on our way home from Marley Park, seated straight away. Drink & food orders taken quickly, although a wait on food, staff apologised but the food & pleasant staff made it worth the wait. Would definitely not hesitate to go back..

08/06/2026: First time there. Excellent all round. Gluten free options and well understood. A bonus for me.

19/12/2025: Must visit, I have been a few times for their lunch and they alway had great staffs and amazing food.

17/12/2025: My favorite place to eat in fingal area. Never let me down when I come in. The staff are just so so lovely, helpful, friendly and never a stressed atmosphere. Food is 5* and really good portions. And the coffee is smooth and satisfying.
