The best restaurantsof irish in Dublin

21/02/2026: Great service - thank you Adra!

03/03/2026: Great experience. Staff is awesome

02/03/2026: Had an amazing breakfast with great atmosphere and surrounding. Zia is wonderful, warm and welcoming. Would love to come back again soon

18/02/2026: IN my experience, the best cooking in Dublin. Every meal represents a sublime culinary experience. Thank you for making last night such a special evening with out 90 year old friend. The best Caesar salad I have ever tasted. Everything we ordered was outstanding. Thank you Daniel for taking such care and making it so special.

15/02/2026: What a really great spot. I have been meaning to try this gem of a dining experience for some time and finally got around to it. I regret not going sooner. Sumptuous well cooked and presented dishes of ample portions. The side dishes were certainly not outshone by the superb mains. We had the duck and lamb shank which were both tender and delicious. Special mention for twice cooked potatoes as a side which are a standout. The really relaxed atmosphere was complemented by the extremely attentive and personable host the eponymous Daniel whose personal touch and friendly informality makes you feel as if you have known him for years. He is always on hand to explain each dish and what complements it best and to guide diners towards the most suitable wines pairings. In the desserts the unique deep fried ice cream is a must and the bread and butter pudding also has an interesting backstory. This restaurant is old style in all the best ways, good hearty quality food, classic setting and the personal touch that is rarely found these days.

11/03/2026: Friendly welcome and popular spot. Food is Old fashioned, home style, with little flair or originality. Rustic/clumsy plating. Small tables and tightly packed. Poor value for money considering the delivery. €3 supplement for a single, small scallop served with pork belly.

07/03/2026: Food is very creative regarding taste and presentation. Not a profit chasing place. It's a friendly, warm atmosphere with experienced staff in kitchen and on the floor.

10/03/2026: Great atmosphere with live music and great food - the beef and Guinness stew was delicious.

09/03/2026: Classic Irish pub. Delicious Irish food. We tried the Guinness Beef Stew and the Bangers and Mash.

15/01/2026: Fabulous food with a great mix of flavours and excellent presentation. Highly recommend.

08/01/2026: This was the second time we ate at the restaurant. It did not disappoint. We had the early dinner menu. I had the veal, cod and date pudding. My friend had the cauliflower soup, pork belly and cheese plate. All 6 of the dishes were very delicious. The wine list was extensive and reasonable. Will definitely go back again!

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"!

19/02/2026: Definately loved it .First time but definately not the last 👍👏👏😊😁

18/02/2026: Great food, great service, beautiful bar, but loud.

06/03/2026: Its not so bad place, isnt it! Said the bar tender. Toptent

04/03/2026: Loved the cosy living room vibe of this place which hits you along with smell of well worn carpet (I know I'm making that sound horrible, it's lovely) and a million and one toasties. Loads of locals sitting deep in coversation, toasty in front of them which is flanked by a pot of mustard and a pint of Guinness, so many locals doing it it was almost like a uniform- love it! Lads behind the bar were stars, real grafters and there's a swagger to how they carry out their work, the less observant would put it down as arrogance when in fact it's just them taking a real pride in their job. Was great watching them work firing out pint after pint. I've given 5 stars for food, I didn't have a toasty but man alive did they smell good! Now I'm back home I'm really regretting not ordering one

26/02/2026: Excellent food and superior service. We had a lovely, luxurious lunch experience. Highly recommend.

24/02/2026: Great food and drinks in a lovely atmosphere. Always a favourite for us in Dalkey. Always busy which is a great sign.

12/03/2026: we were a group of 7 from italy, they made us feeling welcomed and the food really good. the waiter was funny and really friendly!!!🍻🕺

11/03/2026: Great seafood chowder, almost worth the more than 30min it took to prepare!

06/03/2026: Nice cafe in quiet part of Dublin nice stouts

28/02/2026: A tiny bit overrated in my opinion

19/02/2026: Popped in for a quick lunch and found a gem! Cajun seafood gumbo, grilled shrimp, and Cajun potatoes were best in Ireland!

18/02/2026: Absolute gem of a restaurant. Great food, great service and great ambience.

03/03/2026: We came to celebrate my mums birthday. The staff made my mum feel very special. The food was adjusted according to my gluten intolerance, which is a rare thing. Thank you for the great evening!

28/02/2026: Lovely restaurant, food & very nice staff. I would recommend & happily go again!

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.
