The best restaurantsof irish in Dublin

10/11/2025: Called in one evening without a reservation and we're seated no problem. We are both vegetarian and knew that they had a vegetarian menu - this is not on the door outside so its handy to know! Some elements of dishes were not available but the food was really great, we both had starters, mains and desserts and yes, a little more pricey than we would usually go for, but worth it for a treat in my opinion. Atmosphere and service were wonderful!

28/10/2025: Always wanted to try this restaurant. Very sorry to advise but it was an extremely disappointing experience. Staff were not trained to the standard one would expect… food really poor quality. No atmosphere. 1st and last time here.

06/12/2025: The hotel is located in an easily accessible area, right in the heart of the nightlife. The Temple Bar area is a five-minute walk away, making its location a real plus. However, be aware that you'll hear music from the surrounding bars and clubs until late at night—even on the top floor where we stayed. Furthermore, our room was very cold, and the shower only provided lukewarm water, which significantly reduced comfort. The friendly staff and excellent location are positive.

06/11/2025: This is not a 5 star hotel but I'm leaving a 5 star review because it was perfect for me and my two friends. We wanted somewhere city centre for cheap, just for one night. We asked for three single beds and that's exactly what we got. The beds were so comfy, the bathroom was a good size and the shower was lovely. We had everything we needed. We didn't need luxury, just a bed in a warm place after a night out. There's no TV in the room but we didn't need that. There is a tea and Nespresso coffee machine though. You're five minutes away from a Luas or shops, it was perfect. We felt very secure staying there. Although we came back late at night/early morning, we had no issues getting back in. We checked out that morning and asked could we leave our bags while we went out for breakfast and although we came back later than we stated, our bags were kept stored neatly for us. The staff were lovely to deal with, very friendly. The place was decently clean, no issues to report at all. I would definitely stay here again for the same reason

30/12/2025: The food was great.however the young blonde fella who served me was very polite whereas the woman with blonde short hair was very rude in her approach to my uncle and to the guy who served us. I deffo didnt feel comfortable neither did other customers in the takeaway

28/12/2025: Probably one of the worst supermacs in Ireland. Absolute rip off, prices are through the roof, dips that once came as sides are now extra and they even try charge extra for mayonnaise. Not worth eating at those prices and staff/cleanliness not helping

04/01/2026: We went for lunch for 8 people before a game in the Aviva. Service was very poor, no consistency with waiting staff. We were served by a different waiter every time. Very slow to get drinks and food. It took over an hour for the kids to be served their food. Food was average but overpriced. Tempura prawn starter had 2 prawns for €22. Kids meal €18 for 2 courses!! We were the only table in the restaurant so I’m not sure why service and food was so slow. The hotel is beautiful. The setting is lovely. If service was better this could be a great place to dine.

19/10/2025: Truly awful experience today for lunch. We had been on many occasions before and were always wowed by the atmosphere food and service. A group of 6 of us arrived for lunch today and were seated next to a group of 50 people which appeared to be a christening. The noise was deafening, children running around screaming and staff were few, and very overwhelmed. The food was really poor, the accompanying salad with the prawn tempura lacked freshness, the steak was as tough as old boots with no marination, and the ice cream for dessert was similar to what you’d get at a children’s birthday party. I complained to management and they did discount the bill, a solid gesture but not what I was looking for! We were looking for a nice meal in a ‘small leading hotels of the world’ restaurant but it felt like a cross between McDonald’s and a roadside cafe. Management need to step up, this is APPALLING, and we will not be stepping in there ever again

14/01/2026: Problem with overbearing security personnel; not all of them need to be selected carefully.

12/01/2026: Dicey’s Garden is a fun, high-energy spot right in the heart of Harcourt Street. The beer garden is great earlier in the evening, and once it gets later the place really comes alive with DJs, dancing, and a lively crowd. It’s especially popular with students and groups looking for a buzzing night out. Drinks are reasonably priced for the city centre, particularly if you arrive early, and there’s plenty of space to move between the garden and indoor areas. It can get very crowded on busy nights, and entry can be hit-or-miss depending on the time, but if you’re in the mood for loud music and a party atmosphere, Dicey’s is a solid choice for a Dublin night out. 🍹🎶

13/12/2025: Excellent food with very friendly staff

27/11/2025: Fillet of Beef curry had the toughest beef ive come across since that one time I mistook my beef for a flip flop

30/10/2025: Fantastic pizza, top-notch quality!

23/10/2025: I practically order it every week; we're two of a kind at home, and I'm not kidding, both for pizzas and esfihas. Zero flaws and the best choice.

02/02/2026: I have been a customer of Leo’s Burdock for over ten years. In the past, the food was consistently good, and the prices were reasonable for the quality offered. However, during my last few visits at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, I experienced very poor customer service. The staff at the till were impolite and rude, displaying a lack of basic manners that made us feel uncomfortable. I also noticed a general absence of customer service skills, as well as unprofessional behavior toward other customers. Unfortunately, today’s visit was particularly disappointing. When my wife and I were about to place our order, the staff member was rude and sarcastic. The interaction left me feeling unfairly treated and deeply uncomfortable. As a result, we decided not to order and left the premises. Regrettably, after this experience, I do not intend to return. I would recommend considering other dining options in Dublin, as there are many excellent alternatives available.

01/02/2026: We thought that if we went there, we would try the famous fish & chips. The guys are very nice and funny, but we were not satisfied with the food. The portions are indeed quite large, but the fish was tasteless (unsalted), the batter was hard and dry, and both the fries and the fish were dripping with oil. The food had a rather stale oil taste and smell. Overall, it was a big disappointment for 40 euros for two portions.

19/12/2025: Servers friendly and efficient. Limited options for those who don’t eat meat and dairy products. Vegetable options limited. Wooden cutlery not suitable for eating a meal, takes away from the experience

27/11/2025: The menu felt quite limited, and there wasn’t much choice when it came to vegetables. I also had to wait in line even though there weren’t many people. The food looked a bit tired and overcooked, as if it had been sitting out for a while. It’s only 3 p.m., but it doesn’t seem like they refresh the dishes very often. On top of that, the cutlery is wooden, which doesn’t make the experience any better. Overall, not terrible, but definitely nothing to be excited about.

19/12/2025: Got the Indian meal deal. Food was lovely and very reasonable. Chicken pakoras were delicious

10/12/2025: Ordered doner kebab, wasn't even doner to begin with and there was barely any "doner". Waste of 11€ never again

26/07/2025: The best bar in Dublin. Food, drink and service at the top!!!!!

06/06/2025: No hospitality to be seen here, better options elsewhere in the locality
