The best restaurantsof irish in Dublin

05/10/2025: Had a lovely meal on Sunday. Staff are fantastic. Make sure to either book a table or get there before 1pm as it fills very quickly. That's the only quibble I would have.

01/10/2025: Great pub. Many's a pint had there.Never ask the owner for a bag of ice as its very precious to him.

03/06/2026: Great place to stay, not too grand or pretentious, more of a relaxed luxury. Great breakfast also. Would not mind a more knowledgeable staff

02/06/2026: Fabulous! We had our wedding here and it couldn't have gone better. Every single member of staff was exceptional from Laura who coordinated the event to the bar staff, reception, the cleaning staff who gave my little nephew cookies on the house and Pierre who gave my partner a shirt coz he forgot his 🤦🏼‍♀️ Just an overall lovely experience, we were made feel so special. Would highly recommend The Dylan for a wedding x

16/05/2026: Lucy and kitty made the first experience amazing experts in whiskey would highly Recommend here without a doubt

07/05/2026: We popped in for dinner and a pint. The decor, vibe, ambiance, and feel do not match the food or service. I ordered the "pie of the day" (chicken and bacon with a side of mashed potatoes and roasted veg) and my husband the burger. At €20 a plate I was expecting something other than what appeared to be boiled and thickly cut chicken breast with a few bit of bacon in an overly salted cream sauce along with run of the mill mashed potatoes with small chunks of veg that were pan fried. It almost smacked of what you could get as a pre-made meal at Tesco. The burger was equally disappointing. Dry, overcooked (was never asked how it should be prepared), and the toppings were underwhelming. The chips that came with the burger were OK, but unremarkable and should have been cooked for at least another minute or two to crisp up the outside. When I say the vibe didn't match the service, it boils down, quite a bit, to the service. The bartender would frequently mess with his hair showing his midriff. If you're going to present your establishment as a "cut above", I would expect a bit of decorum with proper attire. Our server (I didn't catch her name) had the personality of a rock and was cold (never mean, but definitely has the feeling she didn't really want to be there). Maybe it's because it's the "low season" being early May, but come on! For €52 for 2 meals and 2 pints, surely you can do better. Also, what is up with the weird thumping noise that was vibrating the ceiling lights? Super annoying.

26/05/2026: Great fish and chips, great view of the water and ha'penny bridge

26/05/2026: I can’t believe the waiter thought he could ‘sneak’ a service charge on the bill for a table of 2?! When we asked what it was for he just walked off?! So I went to the front to ask for a copy of the bill as the waiter didn’t return, sure the change was only .40 euros….. still?! AND the bill was missing, no where to be seen, had to re-print a new one. I just can’t!! 3.60 euros, in Canadian is almost $6?! Dirty!! I wish I could give this review a zero!!

20/05/2026: We visited yesterday and were left genuinely disappointed by our experience. We ordered 2 pints, chicken wings, and garlic cheese chips, coming to €40, which already felt steep. When the chips arrived, we were surprised to find the “garlic” element was simply 3 to 4 raw, roughly chopped garlic cloves dumped on top, completely overpowering and inedible. We politely asked if we could swap to the bacon cheese chips instead, but what came back appeared to be the exact same dish, simply reheated. We know this for certain because we had put a small amount of ketchup on the chips before requesting the change, and the replacement plate came back with the same ketchup stains still visible. Nothing had changed. When we raised our concern, we were told “it is what it is”, which we found dismissive and frankly unprofessional. Even your own waitress visibly reacted to the amount of garlic on the plate. We are not ones to complain, but €40 for this experience, the food quality, the refusal to properly address our request, and the indifferent attitude, was not acceptable. We would welcome a response and hope this is taken as constructive feedback.

07/05/2026: A lovely layout with a well equipped beer garden, which included tv. This was very welcome for the large groups of Man Utd & some Liverpool fans. The food was delicious and the Guinness was 👍 Staff were efficient & friendly.

18/05/2026: Visited the Camden over the weekend with a group of friends and was very impressed. Very smart looking venue with an absolute monster of a screen showing sport. We found all the staff to be very friendly and helpful and the food on offer was of a good quality too. A few of us ordered the "Big Platter" and its exactly that. We all really enjoyed it (although the mac n cheese was a bit stodgy). Would 100% return next time im back over the water..

11/05/2026: Booked for their advertised Formula 1 screening. No commentary was played over the sound system. At a few points it was removed completely from the screens. I feel they shouldn’t advertise an event if they do not want to show it properly. Drinks and food were good.

26/04/2026: Food was scrap and overpriced too bits and some of the worse food I’ve had Ina while

30/03/2026: Nice restaurant and nice staff but a little pricey :)

03/06/2026: Extraordinary spot relaxed excellent food amazing friendly and warm staff tasteful and elegant atmosphere

30/05/2026: Nice pub but it's a pity that the chef isn't confident cooking vegetarian dishes.

11/05/2026: A fantastic spot for a variety of drinks and excellent food. It’s a place for a younger audience and a nice change from pubs. We came here twice during our stay and had fantastic food, drinks, service and atmosphere.

10/05/2026: We were spoiled - party in the Loft, coolest party venue in D2! And sunniest! Excellent venue with different accommodation offers in each floor (the Loft is the 4th floor). Excellent "finger food" - definitely a notch above, served fresh and hot by highly attentive and pleasant staff. Definite "Venue", with a capital V!

09/05/2026: So it starts, located right in the heart of Dublin and following a major renovation in 2022, this Porterhouse establishment boasts one of the largest selections of draft beers at the bar, around 50 different varieties. This opens up a world of possibilities for finding a beer to your liking. The atmosphere is quite festive, both along the bar and around the tables. It's a great place to enjoy an evening with friends over a reasonably priced beer. The food is also quite good and a perfect complement to your meal.

06/05/2026: Super friendly service, a huge selection of different beers, and the food was great too. The perfect place to enjoy an evening with friends.

01/06/2026: Ok breakfast cost 12.95. poor quality food and extremely salty. Ok but by no means a quality experience. The only thing it has is the convenience to the train station as there are no other places close

24/05/2026: Had an hour to kill for the train to Cork. Great service from the bar tender. Thanks so much!

28/10/2025: Great coffee stop with safe parking for bicycles, sitting indoor and outdoor, amazing selection of cakes and other sweets, great coffee. Very friendly and efficient staff👍

13/10/2025: Absolutely lovely. The food is delicious and the coffee is amazing.

09/05/2026: Lovely spot with tasty breakfast right next to the park.

07/05/2026: Many options for food combinations with fish, meat, vegetables. Delicious fresh products and drinks. Friendly staff, reasonable prices. The place is wheelchair accessible.

24/05/2026: Dave absolutely made our day! Such a fantastic place! The restaurant is incredibly beautiful and has an amazing, cozy atmosphere. The service was top-notch, but a special shoutout goes to Dave — he is absolutely brilliant, super cool, and made our visit so memorable. Overall great vibes, we had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!
