The best restaurantsof irish in Dublin

24/01/2026: A lovely experience with Virginia and Klaudia at bang !

23/01/2026: What a meal. Adra was a great host. Felt very welcome

03/01/2026: Delicious, the service was super friendly and the staff very welcoming. Plenty of gluten-free options, and the staff are knowledgeable and attentive!

03/01/2026: Excellent atmosphere and very good service from the staff, especially the waiter César who was very friendly. I would definitely return and it's a must-stop on your trip to Dublin.

11/01/2026: Amazing food. A very attentive service. Great recommendations. The lamb was divine. The prawn risotto was delicious. The goat cheese salad … nothing was wrong. Will be coming back for sure!

24/12/2025: Christmas eve. 5 in a family. Excellent.

25/12/2025: I don't want to give too much away, just go and have fabulous food and an excellent evening. Me and my two friends had one of the most enjoyable dining experiences ever there last night. Would not change a single thing!

21/12/2025: Daniel’s where to begin, one of the best culinary experiences to be had in Dublin and probably on the island of Ireland. Myself a food lover and regular restaurant dweller. I would call this place rare, As, in no matter what you order off the menu here, it will be excellent. Plenty on the menu to pick from far from bare bones here. The place itself very understated but has a cool old school vibe clean and well kept but is very quirky under closer examination. Wine lovers this is the place for you his pairing of wine to foods is nothing short of exceptional. You won’t find a better wine menu in Dublin. Overall Danial is a master craftsman in both food and wine and no mystery here it immediately becomes apparent from the get go, simple starters like the broth hits the tongue and it’s complex and superior. Nothing is an after thought here every ingredient and element have been very well thought out here years in the making. If I could give 100 stars I would. We ll be back and on a regular basis.

23/01/2026: Amazing pub with the best Bangers and Mash I’ve EVER tasted! Crazy big portions. My wife loved the Cottage Pie and of course the Guinness was perfect.

20/01/2026: Okay Pub, good Ambiente and good for watching a Game

08/01/2026: A really good, nice pub with a huge selection of whiskey. We had a sandwich with fries which was perfectly filling for €10.

08/01/2026: Darkey Kelly’s is a fantastic Dublin pub that perfectly captures the spirit of the city. The food was good (although my burger had too much going on for my liking and was pretty messy but delicious none the less) with a varied selection of Irish and pub classics. There is live music every day to give it that authentic vibe and it’s not on the traditional tourist routes so the prices are competitive. Whether you’re popping in for a meal, a pint, or an evening of music, Darkey Kelly’s offers an authentic Dublin pub experience.

03/01/2026: Great old Dublin pub, a must visit when in Dublin. Great atmosphere, excellent service and nice food at very good prices

01/01/2026: Nice bar with authentic old school features. Appreciated the lack of TV's and music. The Bar staff were indifferent at best and the vitamin G was just fine but not outstanding. Kitchen was closed so could not try the food, chef apparently is in "rehab"!

01/01/2026: Lads, lads, lads....what are yis at? Pint of Guinness couple of weeks ago was €5.95. Expensive when it's available in several establishments in Dublin for still under a fiver. But fair enough your in a premium location so have to fork it out. Fast forward to Diageo increasing their pint of Guinness by 12c, add on VAT brings it to 15c. That would mean the pint in Grogans should be €6.10 now. Terrible stuff. Anyway inflation is with us, such it up. Off I go up to the bar with my €6.10 in my pocket. "Pint of Guinness when your ready please" fast forward 2 mins. "There ya go sir, that'll be €6.40 please. Speechless. .......Just pure greed. Never again.

30/12/2025: I came here on a Saturday night to have a beer during my holiday in Dublin. Honestly I didn't find anything special in this pub: the place was packed so I had to go outside to have my beer. Prices are high but in line with other pubs in Dublin (7/8€ for a pint).

28/12/2025: Such a nice cute restaurant with delicious food and great service

20/12/2025: The food was mixed, fish and chips poor, special of venison not great, sole excellent, scallops excellent, starters excellent, bread stale . It was busy so perhaps kitchen was stressed. Great atmosphere and excellent service.

30/12/2025: Went in here before Christmas for some food. The person that showed us to our table and was waiting on us was so rude. Maybe it was because we were not locals? She was short and abrupt when taking our orders and did not seem approachable at all. We felt like a nuisance if anything. It's unfortunate because it seems like a nice place otherwise.

23/12/2025: Great pint..excellent service lovely atmosphere.

19/01/2026: This is BY FAR the best meal we’ve had in Dublin and honestly in many cities regardless of country or continent. The chowder was robust, complex and flavorful without the use of crab and lobster which most places lean on for flavor - I could literally have bathed in It. We also got the short rib and sea bass- Each dish was thoughtful, well seasoned and genuinely made you want to come back for more. If I find myself in Dublin again there is no question where my first meal will be. There are several Michelin recommendations in the area but they have nothing on this place - do yourself a favor and get your reservation now - I feel certain you won’t be disappointed. Chef Sean Drugan if not a legend already is certainly one in the making

14/01/2026: The mussels were outstanding, the short ribs were fork tender and slid right off the bone. The sea bass was excellent as well. The chocolate cake for dessert was magnificent. Great work guys!

02/01/2026: Great meal, as per usual. Very attentive service, tasty meal and good portion size, and good value.

20/12/2025: Very poor from a restaurant that was recommended

10/01/2026: Extremely friendly and professional staff, lovely experience from the get go and food is unreal ! Have been twice now and would definitely go again ! We got the Kim cheese fries, kbbq burger, jalapeño burger and the fried pickles 10/10!!

09/01/2026: Very authentic cuisine, very good

06/01/2026: Went to The Palace after the recommendation from a bartender - which turned out to be a good one. It’s a great place to experience an authentic Irish pub which we did to the very end. Definitely worth to take down some pints there!

06/01/2026: Very crowded, but the Guinness here was the best!!! I recommend it!

23/12/2025: From the Focaccias to the desserts, everything was delicious. Loads of attention to get the flavours right. Highly recommended. Don't skip the dessert, as they are homemade.

18/12/2025: Five stars it's not enoughy to score as the place is just so amazing... Atmosphere, service and food makes that place super special. We felt super welcomed and would recommend that place for sure 😍
