The best restaurantsof irish in Dublin

11/12/2024: Very nice and well laid out outside experience

05/12/2024: Attended a company lunch Christmas party on the 5th Dec food was lovely but management was incredibly rude, forcefully moving our group from dinner table without any warning and same again in the bar area- could do with learning some basic manners

01/12/2024: Food is absolutely brilliant 👏 the chef is doing a fantastic job. All the staff are lovely 😍 lovely atmosphere too

25/11/2024: I had a really tasty Irish stew for supper. Prices were a little bit over the average, but still great. Staff were friendly.

17/12/2024: Nice bar, Don’t go for food , The food was very poor, we got fish and chips it was very small, price was 19.50

02/12/2024: From start to finish the Staff at Bar Rua were great to deal with! Good communicate, organized, stress free for me! Big thanks to Eoghan, Connor and the staff! The food platters where served promptly, hot and tasty. Great drink selection and perfect reserved area for our group of 30 odd people. Clean bathroom and most of all a wonderful atmosphere!!! See you soon again!!!!!

06/12/2024: I love staying here. Clean rooms, helpful staff and it's very quiet and calm location. The decor is old but modern and very beautiful. The room beside the door is lovely to relax with a cup of tea in and had a real Christmas tree🎄 The breakfast is a real delight in a nice setting and it can be quite busy so in that case best to come down early to relax better but the foods delicious and I particularly loved the smoked salmon. I am already looking forward to coming back.

11/10/2024: Booked a Deluxe Superior room for €264, got budget hotel service and budget hotel bathroom to match! Received very dismissive and poor attitude from night manager when we arrived, he just shrugged his shoulders when I asked him where it would be best for us to park our vehicle. I was told the following morning that we could have parked right outside the hotel in pay and display spaces! Reported the issue to Engin in the morning, and he apologised for our experience and gave a €55 refund. Now, the room we were checked into (#255 Jonathan Swift) is classed as Deluxe Superior, and charged at €264 per night - PLEASE BE WARNED - it had a budget hotel bathroom. See pictures that I took. Breakfast (food and service) was excellent, and the ONLY highlight of our stay at Ariel House.

07/12/2024: Very very tasty cocktails. Great place for a date. Sueleln is a great host. Amazing

01/12/2024: Absolutely shocking experience. Booked for 4.30pm for drinks and confirmed table was to be returned at 6pm. Between 5.15pm and 5.40pm, we were reminded 3 times that our table was needed back ''just before 6pm''. We were told it was last orders for our table at 5.25pm. When handed the bill at 5.40pm, there was a service charge added of 12.5%. However service charge was discretionary between 1 and 4 people, as per terms on booking email. We informed the waitress of this, who told us the service charge was mandatory for tables of 4 or more. We corrected her error and then had the card machine slammed on the table to pay revised bill. I rarely omit a tip but was so frustrated with the experience here. One of our party also told her that the service was awful. Suggest that you invest in staff training and review your customer service overall. We won't be back.

20/10/2024: Mc Graths is a decent spot, for a jar or two, and particularly for the nearby Croke Park.

18/10/2024: Friendly staff and good pints are. Place is well kept and modern

19/10/2024: Just got a fresh cod. Not at all crispy. It was soggy. Chips were tasteless . Not impressed. Chap serving me was nice

29/09/2024: very good food nice atmosphere and service

15/12/2024: I love Catherine's! Excellent food for super cheap.

02/12/2024: Had a lovely breakfast here. The staff was very friendly and provided good service. The breakfast menu was very extensive and all looked tasty. The food we received was freshly prepared and was still hot when it was served. The portions are generous. Good price-quality ratio. We have an extensive breakfast with drinks for less than 15 euros per person. The café is a bit dated, but this does not make the food any less tasty. All in all, highly recommended if you are looking for a place to have breakfast in Dublin.

28/11/2024: With beautiful dock lists and excellent food. Very powerful Irish breakfast. A bit overpriced for what they offer.

23/11/2024: Great experience here for dinner. We arrived early and they made a plan to accommodate us at a table earlier even with a relatively busy reservation schedule. Food was good, but not spectacular. A nice touch was upgrading my fries to Parmesan truffle oil fries on my burger at no extra cost. Best part of the meal was dessert. It was a busy night, but after a waiter took our order, we were never checked on again and had to flag staff down for anything further which was less than ideal. Seating can be crowded as well with tables pretty close together.

16/12/2024: My baby (2 month old) and I had an appalling experience in this cafe last week. We were to grab some lunch from them however my baby needed to be fed as she’s quite unsettled so I decided to grab a seat to feed her while my mother and her sister were in the queue to order our food. Suddenly one of their staff comes over to me and my baby and asks us to vacate the table and join the queue as it is apparently their cafes policy to queue first before grabbing a table. I told her I do understand that they have that policy however I have explained my situation that my baby needed to be fed, she was adamant for us to leave and join the queue. I was just disgusted really as I thought cafes and places like them would be more accommodating to mother and child and be more family friendly, I was wrong. I felt humiliated as well by the way the staff had dealt with us in front of their customers, really rude. Hence, I’m giving them this rate, hopefully next time they’d be more considerate to mothers and babies that are in need of a safe space to meet their babies needs.

15/12/2024: Love it. Well organised, great brunch menu.

25/11/2024: A very nice, spacious neighborhood pub with friendly and willing staff. The burgers and the beef nugget with Gravy sauce, very, very good.

12/11/2024: Nice pub , area bit rough on foreigners

15/12/2024: Had lots of fun with friends there, great place!! Totally recommend it! 😉🤝

14/12/2024: Great pub, great food! I would definitely recommend it for the locals.

14/12/2024: Lovely local café for organic coffee, with tasty and well sourced breakfast options.

13/12/2024: I organised a lunch here for a group of colleagues. The service could not have been better both in the planning and on the day. They went out of their way to make sure we were looked after and the food was excellent. It is a cafe style venue and has plenty of seating.

04/12/2024: Had lunch upstairs with my daughter. Buffet style set up. Good selection of hot and cold meals etc. Very busy at 12:30pm , but no waiting. Recommended.

01/12/2024: On 12th September 2024, new management the Wright Group re-launched a Dublin institution, the Kilkenny Cafe on Nassau Street. It has been a disaster ever since, as indicated by the multiple one and two star Tripadvisor customer reviews of this once proud establishment. In my own case, I have been a loyal customer of the Kilkenny Cafe for over 25 years, enjoying countless meals there. I have especially appreciated the friendliness and impeccable customer service, varied and delicious salads, and lovingly prepared hot dishes. I was therefore shocked and appalled by what happened on Friday 25th October, when I called in for lunch with a friend. I approached the hot counter, as I have done on so many other occasions, and ordered the roast beef. When I notified the serving staff about my food allergies, a person claiming to be the new Head Chef intervened and said in an aggressive and impatient tone of voice that there was nothing for me. When I expressed surprise, and pointed out that I had been coming to the Cafe for years without any difficulties in this regard, he simply shrugged his shoulders. When I further pointed out that I knew the chef, who frequently prepared some fresh ingredients for me, he replied quite arrogantly and dismissively as follows: 'I am the Head Chef and I don't know you.' Regarding my comment about the flexibility previously shown to accommodate my dietary restrictions, he commented tartly, 'This isn't that kind of place.' Clearly the new Head Chef has no respect or regard for customers. My friend and I departed immediately, disgusted at the poor customer service. By way of a coda to this story, I wrote to the Cafe Manager to explain what had happened. She forwarded my email to the Wright Group. The initial reply from the Wright Group Cafe Operations Manager was to inquire what my food allergens were, which completely missed the point of the complaint concerning the entirely inappropriate behavior of the new Head Chef. I pointed this out by return email, but I received no response for six days. Eventually, she did get back to me, with apologies. Apparently, she had been away on annual leave. In fairness, she did then suggest a telephone conversation, which we had a few days later. The outcome of the call, which appeared to be constructive, was a promise to investigate the matter with a view to rectifying the situation. She also promised to get back to me with an update. However, I have heard nothing since.

27/11/2024: Great food, Top quality, to suit all tastes

15/11/2024: I have not been inside this Public house for over ten years
