The best restaurantsof irish in Dublin

10/11/2024: Have been using Café Haven for outside catering for a large corporation and always very happy with the quality and value for money!

25/10/2024: Bad customer service skills food abysmal

23/11/2024: Ordered a pint of Carlsberg from a staff member who was very unpleasant and almost silent and had the cheek to pore a pint that was overflowing all around the area around the glass. Politely asked her to wipe around the glass and she was so rude and one of her colleagues had to clean up the mess. Wouldn't recommend this place,based on my experience.

17/11/2024: The food was very tasty, indeed! Loved the Chowder and the Crab and Prawn cakes, among other things. Gaspar was friendly, and extremely attentive. Lively atmosphere without being overwhelmingly loud. A great experience overall.

12/12/2024: Very, very good food, amazing service, kind staff. Zero complaints. Will 100% be back.

30/09/2024: The staff were the best part of our evening, Rosie in particular was extremely friendly and efficient but the kitchen let the floor staff down in that my Steak was cooked medium well not medium rare as requested, to be fair it was replaced and served as requested They did deduct a reasonable amount off the bill which I appreciated . Hopefully if we visit again it will be better

30/05/2024: Went to a Celtic night at the Boardwalk and had an amazing evening, especially thanks to the lovely bartender named Louise. She made incredible cocktails - and mocktails, while being very kind and helpful. Very nice place to try it you stay in Dublin for a couple of nights.

05/05/2024: We’ve been staying here on and off for about 20 years and I’m afraid on our last few stays, the experience hasn’t been as good as it used to be. It’s still an impressive, huge bar but it used to have fairy lights everywhere making it more magical. Some of the staff both at reception and in the bar seem a bit fed up but not all of them. The rooms haven’t changed at all so although comfortable, they really could do with being updated. Impressive reception hall but as you come in the main door there’s a couple of chairs and a very scabby table. Just seems tired and neglected. Our room overlooked a side alley which wasn’t pleasant but that’s no fault of the hotel. Also no fault of the hotel is that there’s quite a few hostels all round it. On a plus side, the breakfasts are still good with something to suit everyone and we were pleased with our fish and chips at dinner one night. Vending machines in the lobbies which is handy. Toilets always clean. No Celtic nights for the three nights we were there but had a good Irish music night. It’s still nice to come back to it at the end of the day for a few drinks rather than roaming about the city at night. We will be back but it’s sad to see changes and would be nice to see some money being spent on it.

30/10/2024: Chocolate twist was stale and it was 9;30 in the morning so definitely not fresh baked. And hot chocolate was way too sweet, tasted like someone put 10 spoons of sugar in it. :(

29/10/2024: Very average experience for breakfast.

09/11/2024: I got Granola here the other morning. If you can call it Granola. It was, without doubt, the worst Granola I've ever gotten. Smallest amount of yoghurt. No honey or coule, 2 pieces of fruit and a bowl of bird seed. Tiny little seeds, no nuts, no crunchy bits. It was horrible.

31/10/2024: They opened a tad early and we were some of their first customers this morning. The croissants were fresh out of the oven and delicious! I ordered a strong cappuccino and it was made to perfection. I also got the Oreo Brookie (choc chip cookie base, layered Oreo cookies over the top and a brownie over that - wild yum!). Very welcoming atmosphere! We also got to meet Sandra the pup - I’m guessing the owner’s friend’s pup.

25/03/2024: One of my favorite restaurants in Dublin, excellent food and service, cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend it.

22/11/2024: Can’t fault this venue. Great atmosphere and friendly service.

11/11/2024: We booked a table on Sunday specifically for a carvery lunch, as advertised on their website. However, upon arrival, we were informed that the carvery wasn’t available, and instead, only a limited, basic dinner menu was offered. Unfortunately, the service didn't make up for this initial letdown. Despite the pub being only half full, the staff seemed overwhelmed, with three servers struggling to manage. Orders for food were taken, yet they left before we could even order drinks, leading to a frustratingly slow and uncoordinated experience overall. In the end, it was a disappointing visit, both in terms of the food options and the service.

03/09/2024: Great pub, great beer, great food, great people. Who could ask for more!

30/08/2024: Great pint,,5 70 nice Croud food available good atmosphere

09/12/2024: They were not welcoming to people of colour, ignored us and kept talking like the food was free .Very poor service. We were having a Christmas dinner the dinning Hall was cold and silent like a grave yard, when we asked them to put on some music to make the place a little vibrant one of the staff agreed only for an all knowing man that look at us like aliens started making a fuss after one of us who lived near by went to bring some music. He started by saying the other people who were coming in an hour later would not like it. Then we asked him to get music from the hotel but he ignored us and we put on our music which was very low. if they deny this I have a video of this event. So sad they ruined our annual Christmas Dinner .only one girl was really friendly. And I gave her a very good tip for being human.

08/12/2024: I went to the ABBA night for a Christmas dinner and I called them beforehand to ask what time the dinner would start, but I had to wait over 1:30 hours for dinner to start and there wasn't even bread on the table while we were waiting. I stayed there from 19:15 till 22:30 and no ABBA song was playing. I understand that they wanted to wait until after dinner for the band to come, but having to wait for food and for the party to actually get started was a huge disappointment.

28/11/2024: Rang up to reserve a table 30 minutes before arrival, which the restaurant confirmed. Arrived on time and had to wait for a further 30 minutes for a table. While waiting we were told it would only be a few more minutes a couple of times and offered some drinks. Food was okay but not worth the wait. They need to be more clear on waiting times so people do not get their expectations up and can go elsewhere. Also shouldn’t be taking reservations if they cannot guarantee a table

27/11/2024: Very crowded small restaurant that looks like a tourist trap but don’t be fooled Service was great and the food wonderful . A very pleasant surprise my first dinner in Dublin. The staff are amazing and extremely kind especially considering how busy this place was on a Wednesday evening. Good portions and well prepared and presented food The Bailey’s Cheesecake came highly recommended by my waitress and she wasn’t kidding

17/11/2024: Amazing place to go watch sports. A must on your visit to Dublin. At night there is a disco and it is very good. I totally recommend.

15/11/2024: Always a good night at the Camden. I don't write reviews but my friend and I had issues with a bunch of lads being severely inappropriate. Chris, one of the security members was discreet and one of the nicest people I've dealt with. He moved us to a different table all while keeping an eye on the group. As two young woman out alone, my friend and I were extremely grateful for his professionalism. What a gem!

16/12/2024: Oh dear. Bad. Staff were lovely, so no bad vibes their way...but completely run off their feet. Drink order arrived at different intervals, as much as 15 minutes apart. Asked three times for final drink to come. No starters ordered and mains arrived a full hour plus spare change after ordering. That's just too long! Three of four ordered the roast beef. Meat was very nice. That's the end of the good. Potatoes were cold. Not kinda-warm. Just cold. Yorkshire pudding was cold and soggy. Cabbage side was cold. Gravy was watery. Ordered an additional portion of potatoes, also cold. Saw on the way out they just have them sitting on a tray, so had obviously been cooked for some time €160 plus tip for 6 slices of roast beef, some cold vegetable sides, a burger and chips and a round of drinks ain't it. Better roast dinner in many simple pubs. Such a let down. I know many people have had good experiences here, so I'm sure it's not always like this. Our meal felt like a robbery... To end on a positive, the room is nice!

13/12/2024: No service, got the only desert that didn't state it didn't have peanuts in on the menu and it had peanuts... ruined my night completely

16/09/2024: Went on a Saturday night and it was closed. No signs, so don’t know if it’s permanent.

30/11/2024: Mis amigos y yo sufrimos prejuicios porque somos de Latinoamérica, cuando fuimos a disfrutar de la noche y nos encontramos con una amiga que ella reservó una mesa en el lugar, ella va a volver a su país, el personal de seguridad nos detuvo y no permitieron entrar en el PUB sin razón, pero permitieron entrar a otra gente que parecía ciudadanos europeos. ¿Por qué el gerente puso a gente no preparada a trabajar en un lugar? No recomiendo este lugar y la gente, hay mejores lugares en Dublín que Jimmy Habbite's

26/10/2024: Amazing bar love the live music thank god they started doing it. Maebh behind the bar is so quick and good very hard worker and always took care of us all night. Love the Gin selection definitely will be back !
