The best restaurantsof irish in Dublin

24/10/2025: We were at BANG Restaurant for a wedding and had the most wonderful experience. The setting was absolutely gorgeous — elegant yet relaxed, perfect for such a special occasion. The food was exceptional and so beautifully presented! I'll be thinking about that fillet steak for a long time. A huge thank you to Dom and Claudia, who looked after us so well all day — friendly, attentive, and so warm! And a special mention to Carmel, our host, who was so welcoming and ensured everything ran seamlessly. Together they made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend BANG for any celebration or a truly memorable dining experience☺️

24/10/2025: Great service, lovely food, Adrae and Loris were so amazing couldn’t recommend more

19/10/2025: Where to begin? We had the pleasure of having dinner with Daniel last night. I say with, because this is the only restaurant I know where you get to discuss in detail, every dish on menu with the chef and owner at your table, and share a glass of wine. There were 4 of us last night and everything that we ordered was prepared with passion and perfection. What a great night with a true gent. Thanks to Daniel and Carl for taking the time to create a one-off dining experience. In a world where everything feels rushed, this was relaxed, perfectly executed and personal. John

19/10/2025: You can tell how much time Daniel puts into selecting the dishes and ingredients. The food is fabulous. Even though the food is excellent, be sure to save room for a delicious dessert. The wine list also deserves a special mention. It features a wide variety of wines from many corners of the world. Daniel can also provide excellent advice here. Needless to say, it's well worth visiting Daniel at his restaurant.

04/10/2025: We are visiting from the states and stopped in as Lemon Jelly was one of the few restaurants with an early open. I am sooooo glad we did. The food was delish but the service was even better. Pascal was so attentive and kind. We will be back!

04/10/2025: Super nice. Been here for breakfast!

08/10/2025: Excellent food and a smiling, attentive waitress. This restaurant is a real treat. I highly recommend it.

08/08/2025: Fantastic food & service. Highly recommended.

18/10/2025: We stayed at The Schoolhouse Hotel in Dublin for our last night in Ireland, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Upon check-in, we were warmly greeted by Lorena, who was so welcoming and helpful. We had arrived early, and to our delight, our room was already ready — such a lovely surprise! The hotel had a homey, comfortable feel, with a nicely appointed room and a very comfortable bed, making it the ideal place to unwind before our early flight the next morning. We also dined at the Schoolhouse Bistro, which was wonderfully convenient and truly exceptional. The space was dark, cozy, and full of charm, and the food was outstanding — both the dry-aged steak and chicken fillet “en croute” were absolutely delicious. The cocktails were top notch, and the service was second to none. A special thank you to Iliana, Germano, Erick, and Lucag for making the evening so memorable with their warmth and professionalism. The entire experience was a perfect finale to our trip — highly recommend both the hotel and restaurant! 🇮🇪✨

17/10/2025: Out for a business lunch with a colleague at the restaurant. The restaurant is quite welcoming and when we walked in at 12.30PM, the place was empty. It took another 15-20min for every table to be occupied. We ordered a Caesar Salad with Chicken, and a Pulled Chicken Sandwich. The food came quickly and the taste was quite good. The place is definitely worth a visit.

06/10/2025: Lovely traditional pub, but it's time to say goodbye to the cigarette tar and the table in the corner has got to go. Just an edit - I can't reply to your comment there. The table has an active infestation of borer beetles. The powdery substance collecting in the grooves in the table is their excrement. These beetles will begin to infest the rest of the pub over time.

03/10/2025: Great experience and amazing food. The staff was friendly and service was fast.

23/10/2025: Great place very well run food excellent

23/10/2025: Fast, polite, accommodating, and helpful servers, despite the restaurant being very busy! The food and atmosphere were more than adequate.

11/10/2025: Regular - great food, great staff, great location. Try the prawns to start, sole and a NZ Sav Blanc

04/10/2025: Wonderful French restaurant. Attention to detail as we had coffee across the street and could see them cleaning the lampshades! Food fantastic asked for a side green salad received a huge salad with lots of green beans and broccollini. Main - Venison Shank with Blackberry sauce, Dauphin potatoes, dessert Banoffee pie and Raspberry Chocolate Mousse, a bottle if white and 2 glasses each of Armanaq. Worth every penny. Returning for dinner!

09/10/2025: Excellent stew and nice atmosphere

09/10/2025: Didn't eat, so can't rate that experience. A typical Dublin pub, full of nooks and crannies. A nice pint of Guinness there, though.

05/10/2025: Best Guiness in Dublin. Nice friendly staff.

04/10/2025: Incredible little Irish pub! We wanted to grab a bite to eat while wandering around, and we stumbled upon this little pub. A wonderful surprise, very local, few tourists, and extremely affordable. We had a ham, tomato, and cheese toastie for €5, just what we were looking for. Great atmosphere inside, very local and quiet. Plus, there are lots of artist photos on display. A must-see!

28/09/2025: Food was great, reasonably priced and came quickly. And just as importantly, the staff were genuinely lovely.

27/09/2025: Pros: Nice staff + Delicious Grilled Gambas + Caesar Salad sauce was good and fresh + Warm Baked Chocolate Hazelnut Sponge was very good and fresh Cons: Fiorentina pizza wasn’t good; almost tasteless + Caesar Salad didn’t have chicken at all + It smelled like cigarette smoke outside continuously, even though nobody was smoking

18/10/2025: Great food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

17/09/2025: Can’t miss this town and establishment

17/10/2025: Visiting from the states and popped in for a late lunch. Absolutely the best meal I’ve had out in years. I’ve worked in the industry and fine dining most of my adult life. This was top tier food, laid back atmosphere, and delightful service. You’re crazy if you don’t check this place out. The seabass, the risotto, the banana ice cream- all perfect.

17/10/2025: Unbelievable. Best. Lunch. EVER.

06/10/2025: Excellent culinary experience. The menu is creative, brilliantly executed and beautifully presented. I loved the diverse mix of flavors and textures. The courses were uniformly excellent, so it’s hard to single out winners but…I absolutely loved the cabbage tower, Coolatin cheddar custard, haddock tartlet and chocolate cremeux/blackberry sorbet dessert. I also appreciated a more measured pacing to the courses which affords a bit more breathing and conversation time between plates compared to some restaurants that seem obsessed with delivering the next course seconds after the previous course is complete. The waitstaff is approachable, personable and always in motion. I can’t recall a time when I’ve seen a higher performing front-of-the-house crew operating at their level of effectivenss or demonstrating such a cooperative, team-oriented attitude. They’re very familiar with the menu and are able to make excellent beverage pairing suggestions. They contribute to the energy in the dining room, which only has about 10 tables for 2-4pp plus a larger 8-person table for larger groups, along with about 8 seats at a shared high top and counter extension (so definitely make a reservation). A casual atmosphere and varied background music complement this Modern Michelin experience. I look forward to returning when I’m next in Dublin. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

28/09/2025: Wow! All I can say is wow. There is actually nothing I can recommend to Bastible because everything was amazing. The service was spot on. Everyone was so willing to help. Now the food is hands down the best. Each dish was different and had incredible presentation. I savored each course.
