The best restaurantsof irish in Dublin

25/09/2025: The atmosphere is very cool; it's not every day you get to eat in an old church! Service was nice :) The food was okay, but nothing exceptional. A shame for the price. We were unfortunately too early for the live music! :(

25/09/2025: Top tip: Reserve a table on the ground floor...

15/09/2025: My family arranged a surprise 40th wedding anniversary for my husband and I on the 13th of September and it was a wonderful night. The staff are so friendly and helpful and a special thank you to the Manager (I don't know his name unfortunately) but he was wonderful. Thank you all for making this such a night to remember.

13/09/2025: Cracking venue. Highly recommend, especially for anyone into NFL. It's the place to go

15/08/2025: Had lunch here on the terrace on a very sunny day. They have a lunch special which is 3 dishes for €30. We got his which was loaded chicken tenders, fish tacos and steak sandwich. The chicken was absolutely delicious and the other dishes were lovely also. Had a bottle of Bulmers so can't comment on the Guinness. Service was impeccable. One of the best beer gardens in Ranelagh.

11/09/2025: High end good here. Very nice stuff. Top quality, shipping available.

12/09/2025: Superb Georgian-style hotel in its original state, well located, quiet, and super friendly staff

07/09/2025: Disappointing Experience for a 4-Star Hotel Unfortunately, my stay at this hotel did not meet the standards expected of a 4-star establishment. From the moment of arrival, there were clear signs of poor maintenance and cleanliness: lamps in the reception area had visible cobwebs, which left a bad first impression. In the room, the door let in light from the hallway at night, making it difficult to sleep. The shower only provided cold water with low pressure, the hairdryer didn’t work, and the TV cable was patched together with electrical tape, which is not only unsightly but also potentially dangerous. Sound insulation was almost nonexistent—conversations and footsteps from other rooms and hallways could be heard clearly. The pillows were not clean; some had hair on them, which was very unpleasant. In the dining area, we found wet and dirty dishes, some with leftover food, raising serious concerns about hygiene standards. Overall, this hotel did not meet the basic expectations for its category. I would not recommend it, nor would I stay here again.

23/09/2025: Wonderful hotel. This will be our choice for any future Dublin visits

01/09/2025: Nice hotel a little out from the city centre.

01/10/2025: You order from the bar food/drinks. The service behind the bar was slammed but did not take very long considering. The cottage pie (beef with veggies with mashed potatoes) was AMAZING

29/09/2025: Hour wait for cold Shepherds Pie,

30/09/2025: Excellent food and Atmosphere. Always very enjoyable with attentive Staff..

17/09/2025: Our favourite spot for family dinners and celebrations alike! The staff is extremely friendly, the food is always fantastic. A must for those visiting Foxrock!

28/08/2025: Have a Feast Like a Gangster - The Lord Lucan The Lord Lucan is a great traditional restaurant situated in Lucan, West of County Dublin. It belongs to Chawke Group, a chain running Pubs and Restaurants across Dublin. Access is easy via Newcastle Road (leading South from Lucan village) or from the N4. The impressive traditional architecture takes the centre of the street showing the name in big golden ornamental letters. Lounge and restaurant have separate entry doors. The big stylish hall carries the bar in the middle of the room. Chandeliers cover the ceiling giving a dimmed light. The atmosphere is rather cosy, even if it gets busy. The whole venue is fitted with smooth leather seats in a traditional style. High tables are very convenient for taller persons, unlike other traditional places. While waiting for staff a look on the special board is recommended. Vegetable Soup €7.50 The only kind of soup offered on Irish menus in restaurants. roast beef €18.50 A specialty Beef, Vegetable & Ale Pie €18.50 A specialty not found in every place. For a cozier environment choose a small separate room adjacent to the bar, it is secluded and very intimate. But sometimes staff, especially when busy, might overlook you, as it is outside the view angle. This time we preferred to sit in a corner within the main room. The menu fills one page, containing 21 dishes plus salads and sides. Each of them is a speciality! From Buttermilk Chicken Burger €19.00, Bill Chawkes Legacy Lager Fish & Chips €21.00 to Vegetarian Liguini €16.00, the choice is yours. A various choice of starters between € 7.00 and €12.00. And here comes the surprise. As I knew some of the dishes already, this time I went for an experiment and ordered only a starter! It is priced 28.00, quite much for a starter, called Lucan Ribs & Wings Combo. What I received was exceeding my expectations. The meals arrived within 25 minutes, the time to prepare a good meal. A huge wooden platter was served loaded with delicious juicy crisp chicken wings, chunky Honey glazed Ribs in a spicy Soya Sauce, accompanied by a huge jacket potato with floating butter, corn on the cob and Coleslaw. We ordered also Roast Hereford Beef €18 and it was very tender and succulent, coming with Creamy Mashed Potatoes and Roast Potatoes in Duck Fat, an assortment of Vegetables and Red Wine Sauce. Lord Lucan has a fully licensed bar. Here is the background to the name of the restaurant: John Bingham, known as Lord Lucan, was an eccentric British heredity peer and gambler, who lived in the area and vanished in 1974 after supposedly killing his children’s nanny intending to murder his wife. There is a vast choice of wine, cocktails and draft beer available. I paid for my Guinness €6.40, that is within the reasonable range. Our bill came up to €59.10, makes an average of €29.50 incl. drinks per person. Lord Lucan hosts regular live music nights. The staff are friendly and efficient. Strongly recommended.

24/08/2025: Nice food. Nice friendly atmosphere

13/09/2025: Met people there great food and friendly staff

18/08/2025: I don't know how you can run a hotel without a second escape route. It's marked on the plans, but the doors are locked and the stairs don't exist.

06/08/2025: We visited the restaurant for the first time since the new management took over. The interior is even more stunning and the vibe soothing. We had lunch there and it wasn't very full so we enjoyed the ambience a lot. The menu could do with a bit more variety but we enjoyed the fish bites, chicken wrap and filet steak sandwich a lot. Aileen was a wonderful host and we were grateful for the birthday platter for my in-law. The Aperol spritz let me down a little as it could use a better prosecco to soda water ratio.

05/08/2025: Delicious food with great service. Food was fresh, staff very helpful, highly recommend

14/09/2025: Stopped for a dinner late Thursday afternoon. Very busy inside. Yet we got seated . Service was prompt unfortunately messed up our order. Food was reasonable, prices a bit higher.
