The best restaurantsof irish in Dublin

07/05/2025: Nice wee bar. Some staff get a bit stressed when busy

05/05/2025: Great love music and very friendly service!

21/05/2025: Not far from the city center, on a small street without much in the way of attractions. Very good food and refined recipes. Reservations are required (well) in advance. On the other hand, it's quite expensive.

17/05/2025: Great restaurant, we ate very well and were very well received! I recommend it! See you!

24/04/2025: In an area full of good shops for food, Mellon's is the best by far - absolutely spectacular lunch sandwiches (with unique options every day), pastries, the best bread in Dublin that can't be gotten anywhere else, and great coffee - all with the friendliest owners and staff.

17/04/2025: Mellon's is full of the sweetest and friendliest people, they made a tourist feel right at home. It was early in the morning yet they still went above and beyond hospitality, giving me suggestions and telling me the history of the neighborhood. Not to mention I had the most delicious Irish breakfast sandwich that I enjoyed on picnic table out front. I'm so glad I stopped by!

03/05/2025: Great local pub the locals recommend. Good beer great and fun service. Highly recommend vice all the tourist pubs in Temple Bar if you want true pub life.

30/04/2025: Great bar, friendly staff,well recommended

17/05/2025: We recently returned to Bastible for the first time since before the pandemic, choosing it as the spot to celebrate our anniversary. Unfortunately, we left feeling more underwhelmed than impressed. To be clear, the food was good and well-executed, with no dishes we actively disliked. But for a restaurant with such a strong reputation (and a price tag to match), the overall experience fell short in several ways. The biggest letdown was the service. Having worked in hospitality myself and dined at multiple Michelin-starred restaurants both in Dublin and abroad, I had certain expectations. Not for extravagance, but for attentiveness and care. Sadly, that wasn’t the case. Staff seemed disengaged, with minimal explanation or enthusiasm when presenting dishes. The wine pairings were introduced with little context or storytelling, and the sommelier in particular seemed rushed, as if he were trying to get through the evening’s service rather than elevate it. For a bill that came to over €400 for the tasting menu and wine pairing, we expected more than “fine.” There was no sense of occasion, no added effort to make the evening feel even remotely special. We’ve spent far less in unstarred restaurants and left feeling far more satisfied and cared for. In short: if you’re visiting Bastible for the food alone, you’ll likely enjoy it. But if you’re hoping for a full dining experience, one that justifies the price and pedigree, you may want to look elsewhere.

06/05/2025: Just be aware when booking, if a high table comes up, it is more like a bar table, and seats are stools with no backs. It's not v comfortable. Pity. All the food scrumptious.

22/05/2025: A must-see!!! I highly recommend it: the atmosphere, the setting, the food, the waiters... The prices for food and drinks are reasonable.

22/05/2025: First pub in Dublin after 20 years of not returning. Good sandwich and good seafood chowder too.

15/05/2025: Absolutely top-notch restaurant. Beautifully decorated, intimate atmosphere and excellent food. Highly recommended, I'll be back!

06/05/2025: Very unique dining experience. Expensive but well worth the money. Steak was perfect

17/05/2025: Nuestra primera noche en Dublín y quería experimentar un auténtico pub irlandés ... nuestro hotel recomendó JR Mahons que era un agradable paseo desde nuestro hotel. Nuestra experiencia fue más allá de lo esperado, desde el hermoso interior, personal atento, excelente comida y auténtica música irlandesa! Era una manera perfecta de comenzar o visitar Irlanda.

14/05/2025: The food is very good. We ordered the large plate for three people, which came with everything, and we were full by the time we were halfway through. While we ate, there was live music and Irish dancing. The waitress spoke Spanish, which helped us choose our dinner.

17/04/2025: Awesome spot for drinks and food

10/04/2025: We had a drink here and we ordered a burger. The burger wasn't the best to be honest. It seemed over done and wasn't very enjoyable. The bar itself is a great idea and seems to have a nice atmosphere.

10/05/2025: I heard about Arthur's but until now never tried it. Well, that was my mistake. What a great place. The place was quite full for a Thursday evening, but the atmosphere was just perfect. A happy buzz but the staff just made it perfect. Aoife was way beyond brilliant, and the Monaghan man helping her just made for a very special evening. The food was top class, a seafood chowder and bangers and mash with excellent pints of Guinness hit the spot perfectly. Prices were reasonable. Then upstairs to a truly memorable night of excellent Jazz. My advice, don't pass Arthur's.

10/05/2025: Very good fish and chips. Friendly staff

21/05/2025: Amazing food. Lovely people. 100% recommended.

18/05/2025: Went for a last minute Saturday lunch. Had the crab and the Dover sole washed down with a lovely glass of Chablis , all absolutely delicious. It was my first visit but it won’t be my last. Would highly recommend

21/05/2025: It's not a very atmospheric place, but more of a formal restaurant. It's a bit pricey for the dishes they serve. The stew is very good, but the rest of the dishes didn't impress us. We particularly disliked the Baileys cake. The best part is the service: very polite, attentive, and even speaks Spanish.

18/05/2025: Tried to go to the restaurant but not opened for walk in customers till after 10am

13/05/2025: Don't know it till you try it. Staff, Service,Food 100%. You're right at home. Next question I can't answer because it is priceless well worth it. It's our treat once a month, or if I've to slip into town for another reason. I was in on the 7th of my birthday eve. As always, I left with I'll see you again soon x

01/05/2025: I rarely leave reviews, but we had such a wonderful time here I had to! Our server was absolutely incredible, she was so nice, cheerful and helpful, the atmosphere was truly fantastic! The food was great, the portions are really big, we all enjoyed our pints of Guinness- overall AMAZING experience! 🩷

05/05/2025: The ambience was great, the food fantastic. No waiting, our table was ready for our reservation time. The service was A1. There were 6 of us, and we all agreed we would return in the future! Highly recommend. Good value for money.

04/05/2025: Love this place. I have been there once a week for the last three years. Never disappoints!

14/05/2025: Absolutely loved this place; really relaxed atmosphere and the menu is small but very creative. The combination of tastes with every dish was amazing which makes this restaurant a great pick for anyone (also non-vegetarians)!

13/05/2025: Excellent value, service & quality. The early bird of 36e for 3 course is class value. The interior is lovely, the staff were prompt & friendly. The menu was inventive & interesting. The dishes are not massive so none of us were stuffed. The cocktails & mocktails were both tasty.
