The best restaurantsof irish in Dublin

07/09/2026: Such a great, sympathic location ❤️

04/09/2026: Terrible dining experience overall. We called ahead to confirm they were dog‑friendly and were told dogs were welcome. However, upon arrival we were treated rudely. Our dog was only allowed on the floor, and we could not sit in the main dining area on the ground floor — we were forced to eat upstairs at high bar stools instead. Only one of the staff looks friendly to our dog. Both starters and main dishes were disappointing. We specified medium‑rare beef, yet it came fully well‑done. The chicken stir‑fried noodles were overly sweet, and the chicken wings were extremely dry. Our requests were ignored and the service was unpleasant. Bad experience.

06/01/2026: Unfortunately, this restaurant has closed permanently. It will be sadly missed by regular happy customers. See my review below: The best breakfast / lunch restaurant in Monkstown bar none. Everything on the menu is delicious it’s so hard to choose. Super service too! I’m a regular and always will be. Highly recommend an early G&T.

06/12/2025: 3 stars max because the place is cosy and the coffee is good, but I wouldn’t return there for the brunch menu…branch menu is just average and not a good value for money.

25/08/2026: Not the cheapest chipper in Dublin but it earns the price. Clean inside with plenty of seating, no squeezing onto a bench with your tray, and the fish itself was properly tasty with a generous portion that actually felt worth what I paid. There's history behind the name too, the The batter was light and the fish flaked apart properly rather than turning to mush. Sure hit the spot. Solid choice if you want a sit-down fish and chips without queuing at one of the more famous spots, and the extra seating room makes it an easy stop if you're eating with more than one or two people.

23/08/2026: The place is never open. Shutters are always down even on weekends. Very poor business hours. Was here today Saturday 1pm during the day closed. Was here the Saturday before that at 7pm also closed. I tried the food here once and enjoyed it just don’t be surprised if the shutters are down when you arrive. Strange place!

15/09/2026: I love Brownes for lunch but I have to say their coffee is just so bad. I feel so bad writing this because the staff are so lovely and the food is nice. I had coffee this morning and I brought it back because it’s €5.60 and it tasted really bad. I ordered an almond milk latte and I know almond milk can be difficult to froth but I think it was burnt or maybe the bean was burt. The staff were so nice and made me another one which was better but still not great. I had to bin it in the end because I didn’t want to go back in again. I’m not writing this as a bad review more advice.. I think it needs to be looked into a bit whether it’s a coffee error or a barista refresher course. I usually get a chai latte here and they’re lovely so I hate having to leave this review

10/09/2026: Lovely neighbourhood place to meet friends for a catchup and chat.

11/06/2026: Glaushaus is very handy for Tallaght hospital or the Reeves centre. The rooms are clean with TV and tea making facilities. Ate in the bar and the food was inedible. Service was very poor and despite our 2 dishes uneaten we were not even asked if everything was ok.

01/06/2026: Our room was not cleaned, when we mentioned this they didn't believe us, so they came up to check, of course they apologized afterwards and we got a new room, but still. We had breakfast packed because our plane left early, but we shouldn't have because it was pretty poor (water, yogurt, dry oat bars, dry bread, butter).

03/09/2026: I really enjoyed the breakfast when I went there but the next time I went It was over so I was wondering - what time does breakfast end at?

28/08/2026: Young guy behind the bar great, dealing with multiple customers and cleaning at the same time.

27/06/2026: The service really makes this place! You get greeted and taken to a table which is so lovely. Table service even if you just want drinks. Thank you to the staff for being so welcoming! Also a really good price for a pint in Dublin!

30/05/2026: Had a Jameson mixed drink, think he forgot the whiskey. Zero smell, zero taste but well paid. Went to the club on the opposite site and ordered the same drink. Hypothesis proved. Charming pub though and friendly server. But 10€ for a drink that tastes of nothing but ginger ale is a joke.

30/08/2026: Excellent service. Great setting. Great service. Food….poor. All dishes far too salty. Chefs and cooks in the kitchen MUST taste before dishes go out to customers. Very poor for hefty prices. The sauce with the pork chop was terrible. The chefs idea of a rich sauce missed the mark altogether. Several oxo cubs with a few spoon fulls of marmite that completely blew the head off only left you gulping down the water. And a pork chop cut in strips so it was dry by the time it arrived at the table. Come on lads!!! Anyway, the service kept it going and that’s what I was thankful for….at least.

25/08/2026: Recommend this place, very homely, great staff and plenty on duty whilst I was there.

28/08/2025: Really bad drop off from this place. Was previously my favourite space for lunch in Dublin. Unfortunately with massive price increases and a drop in quality it’s not worth it. Ordered the spicy Cajun sandwich and noticed they stopped putting any sauce on it. 12€ for a dry chicken and cheese sandwich is frankly a rip off

28/08/2025: I will never visit this place again and you should not, either. However, if you decide to go there, you should definitely double-check your receipt here before paying. First I was charged 25.25 instead of 11.60 but realized only after swiping my card. Then they initiated a refund and charged my card again with the right amount (11.60), so I thought it was OK after all. I only realized on the next day (when the refund arrived) that they decided to "keep the change" and refund only 25.00.

02/09/2026: Really like this pub as it caters for all types and has music, also does food which is really good, there is also outside seating at the back, would recommend. Parking can be tricky if it is busy. It is a walk up so not sure if a table can reserved.

23/08/2026: Rudest guy ever carving the meath, won't be back.

05/09/2026: Family restaurant but unfriendly staff and poor service.

28/08/2026: Second visit to this location in the past few months. Dined in on both occasions. We booked table for both visits... Its mad !! I haven't a bad word to say about either visit. Staff were extremely helpful and attentive. They were great with the kids. Only "complaint "- we were stuffed 😃.. the food was genuinely savage. Its good location for parking and wasn't packed busy on either occassion with plenty of seating... in this day when people are quick to point out problems I think its important to praise those that do it well and consistently. Will definitely return.

18/09/2026: I love this place, excellent, but the Glance of some of the employees in the clothing department are silly, please pay attention, because it is a great place, the customer should not feel Unwelcome , it is really annoying.

12/09/2026: Go check stuff for Christmas 🎄 decorations in basement Arnott

28/09/2026: I had many striploin steaks on my recent travels around Ireland - this was by far the best! Great value Languedoc and the staff were also most welcoming to our dog - brilliant!

24/09/2026: Food was well, the burger was reasonable size with fries as side dish. The service was unfortunately pretty bad. Very unfriendly and stressed for no reason since the restaurant was only half full. The pictures of the scenery are a little old on google it just altered a few years since then. We made a reservation online and where able to get in around 1 hour earlier, which as very appreciated since it was raining. 10% service charge added on the bill

28/08/2026: Hello, guys and girls.How are you doing Philip and Grainne here.As, you know, we love the Bar was up there this friday entertainment's not so fantastic. Before that week before very good, can I make a suggestion?Any chance of a karaoke cheer a few people up.

16/08/2026: Good spot, staff are friendly, food is delicious

06/07/2026: Great food, service, portion size...loved it!

12/02/2026: Nice and quiet place, the food is really good and portions are huge. Waitresses are very thoughtful and smiling.
