The best restaurantsof irish in Dublin

16/09/2025: Perfect spot after a chilly walk along the cliffs of Howth. The pub is warm and inviting, the staff kind and attentive, and the food was delicious!! Seafood was fresh. Mussels and oysters not to be missed. The veggie soup was delicious as well. This spot was recommended to me by a local, and it did not disappoint!!!

06/09/2025: We had a delicious meal of scampi and the catch of the day, salmon, here. The proximity to the Dart was a bonus for us. Excellent service.

16/08/2025: The worst place. The beer was about 70% full in a pint glass, and it took just under an hour for the food to come out.

14/08/2025: Nice staff and good chill vibe. The chicken wings were surprisingly fantastic, highly recommend.

26/08/2025: A wonderful restaurant experience and the food is out of this world. Would HIGHLY recommend the chorizo croquettes for starters and the seabream for mains. The croquettes are huge and you get 3 of them. Golden and crispy on the outside with a smooth potato mix in the inside. The chorizo cubes added in gave it a wonderful texture and flavour and with a plentiful serving of cheese shavings on top and a bed of salad this starter is perfectly balanced. The seabream comes served in a deep dish. It had a really crispy skin too, which I absolutely loved. Served on top of new potatoes and fresh pak choi it's such a light, but filling, dish. Underneath the veg is a buttery/lemon sauce and plenty of caviar (fish roe), which adds a lovely pop of saltiness to the dish, it's truly a delight to experience such flavours. I was too full to have dessert but the table next to us did and they looked amazing. The staff were absolutely fantastic. So attentive, friendly and seem genuinely happy in their jobs. I cannot WAIT to return Drinks menu 10/10 Non alcoholic Erdinger 10/10 Food 1000/10 Service 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Location 10/10 Staff 10/10 P.s I didn't want to be rude and take photos as no one else has their phones out but I definitely will next time. ***The reservation was under Brady, for 5pm 23/08/2025 but we were delayed by the crash so we were late***

26/08/2025: Beautiful place, delicious food, and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

21/09/2025: Last night, a friend of mine was celebrating his birthday and we couldn’t find anywhere to go. I explained the situation to one of the guys at the bar, and they set up two tables for us straight away, even though it was busy. Thank you so much for the amazing treatment! My friends and I had an incredible night, delicious food and great Guinness. 🤗 100% recommended for group dinners. Upstairs they have an amazing space with such a nice vibe. Thanks to Leticia and everyone at the bar downstairs. ❤️

17/09/2025: At lunch time we had great service from the proprietor with great recommendations for beer and food. However, when we returned for dinner, the survers were cocky & impatient. When the server came with the check she asked for a 10% tip which was inappropriate.

15/09/2025: Excellent food and great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

09/09/2025: Lovely, friendly and funny staff, delicious sweet potato chips and perfect pints. Would appreciate a little bit more variety on the menu tho

13/09/2025: We often come here due to the fantastic service, high quality meals and value for money as the food meets expectations every time. The chefs in this restaurant are really good at their job and the service from staff is always top notch. Would absolutely recommend this place for a really nice meal and a good atmosphere, plus the odd bit of live music makes it a 10/10 spot for a lunch, dinner or cheeky drink. We will be back 😌

11/09/2025: We were at the Purty Kicthen for the specific cuisine tasting menu yesterday. Food, staff, athmosphere- everything was amazing. Will definetely be there again and again.

04/10/2025: A very intimate and quaint place. I had duck served with mashed potatoes and broccoli, which was truly excellent! Dishes made with quality ingredients! The kitchen staff were excellent! The service staff were very friendly! Not to be missed! Congratulations!

26/09/2025: I had the Early Bird here on Tuesday 23 Sept. The Bacalao Croquette for starter, Wild Atlantic Cod with a side salad was the main course followed by Apple Crumble for dessert, with 2 glasses of the Macon Villages. I really enjoyed the food and indeed the experience. The attention from both waiters was excellent....polite, professional and with an understated warmth...a credit to the team in fact.

29/09/2025: Great food. Great service. Great pints. Always a pleasure to visit The Club. A long established family business where you always feel welcome.

11/09/2025: Seriously good service, really nice boozer.

05/10/2025: The doormen are the friendliest! We went to see a GAA game, great atmosphere and always clean. I haven't been for lunch yet, but it's on my list.

04/10/2025: The best Irish experience. Most awesome pub experience. The Irish are the best.

15/09/2025: I do not leave reviews very often, but Rudy’s was worth it. We were recommended this spot by a customer service agent at another store who said they had great food, and they were absolutely right. We stopped in for dinner on our last night in Dublin, and it was amazing. The food was top notch, the portions were filling, and the service made the whole experience memorable. The gentleman working and the young woman on staff were both so kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made us feel right at home. This ended up being one of the best restaurants we visited on our trip. It is clearly a favorite among locals, and even though we were staying near the airport, it was easy to get to. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Dublin.

12/09/2025: Great little restaurant in Blancherstown village in Ireland with gluten free options. We were on holidays in Ireland when we visited this place & we're very surprised. Service & atmosphere was superb.

08/07/2025: big well established pub.. very nicely decorated & good location.

06/07/2025: Best carvery around, lovely atmosphere on a Sunday.

01/10/2025: Went to this place for food. Didn't think bar food could be so good. It was plenty of food. Our servers were lovely. The two girls on front of house really took care of us without us feeling pestered by them. Ensured empty plates were quickly taken and offered drinks at appropriate times. I would definitely go here again. Losing an atmosphere star as the TVs at the front are a bit awkwardly placed. Could do with slightly bigger screens.

27/09/2025: Great atmosphere, amazing pints and good food. Barbara was our waitress and she was incredibly nice and attentive. She is pure gold and the place, superb.

18/09/2025: This pub is an absolute gem and easily one of the best in town. It has such a fantastic, classic vibe that makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend checking out their Tuesday quiz night—it’s a blast and always a great time.

14/09/2025: What a delightful surprise to find such an outstanding spot just a short stroll from our hotel (Dylan Hotel). The Waterloo House delivered on every front—food, service, atmosphere, and that rare feeling of being genuinely welcomed. 🧅 The Onion Rings were a crispy, golden revelation—light, flavorful, and dangerously addictive. 🍽️ My wife’s dish? I can’t recall the name, but I do remember her smile. That says it all. 🍺 The beer selection was a standout—diverse, well-curated, and full of local flavor. The bartender guided us with care and offered a small sample to help us choose. I landed on the Wicklow Wolf, and now I’m on a mission to find it back home. It’s that good. 🎨 And just when we thought the evening couldn’t get better, we noticed the picture of Sinéad—a quiet, powerful tribute that added soul to the space. Whether you're in for a pint, a bite, or a moment of calm in the city, The Waterloo House is the kind of place that makes you feel lucky to have found it. We’ll be raising a glass to this memory for a long time.

17/09/2025: The auld dubliner was a great traditional Irish pub happy to help and a great atmosphere however do not park in the local carpark of fleet street

15/09/2025: Extremely good establishment very good service friendly staff, Thiago is a top guy made our night very enjoyable unbelievable service from him would highly recommend this bar for anyone visiting Dublin

20/09/2025: Food was fine, but the mandatory service charge of 10% is not ok.

16/09/2025: Superb Irish experience, loved my lamb stew and even my Guinness beer. Service was great. The bread was real bread and not like the crap we eat back home.
