The best restaurantsof otras cocinas europeas

26/12/2025: We arrived at The Port House Cava for our booking at 1pm Christmas Eve. The restaurant was empty except for one table. All the other tables were vacant. The server greeted us and immediately warned us he needed the table back at 3pm. That’s fine. We sat. We waited. The same server was down the back chatting with the kitchen over the pass. We waited a little longer, still no drinks order was coming. I decided to draw some attention to our table by going up to the empty bar. The only occupied table gave me a glance that I read as a comment on the hopeless service as they tried to get the same servers attention. He was still chatting at the pass while the only two tables were both waiting for some attention. Up to the bar he saunters, I ask if we can order some prosecco. We only have Cava he says “they are the same thing”. No there not I reply, but ok let’s have a bottle of cava and if you don’t mind 6 glasses for our table. Back at our table he produces a wine list which would have been handy when we were seated. The cava arrives. It’s barely chilled. I say nothing. Again the same server reminds us that he needs the table back at 3pm. My blood is boiling at this stage as my family as I are made feel like we are an obstruction of sorts. The food arrives and it’s delicious. Well presented. Well cooked and a delight. The first bottle of cava is empty. I’d like to order another but the server is back down at the pass chatting again. To command he attention, again I get up and venture to the bar. Another server has started his shift just before 2pm. He’s more attentive. We order another cava and a bottle of rosé. 2.40pm and the 2nd server starts clearing our table. 2.50pm and they are hovering around our table to let us know it’s almost time to go. The restaurant is still empty except for one other 3top table. The bill arrives and I settle at the bar leaving half the tip I normally would. I ask the server why the hard push on getting the table back while the restaurant is empty. He has no answer. Which points me toward the owner or manager who I know will read this review. So, dear sir or madam, your pockets would be better lined if you spent as much time on encouraging your staff to deliver a good experience rather than a punctual one. You’re employing bus boys, not servers. We’re paying for the experience of which the food is only part. The atmosphere was dead just like the bookings. What’s the different between The Port House Cava and Tapas Del Lola? The staff. The staff. The staff. You’re doing Camden Street no favours with this diabolical customer service. I strongly suggest you consider adding some charm somewhere because you’re just not at the level of some of your good neighbours.

23/12/2025: Amazing place. Prices too high.

20/12/2025: nice chill place to sit and read with a coffee

01/12/2025: One of the only places I visited twice during my short stay in Dublin. Very friendly and cozy café. Nice service and quite tasty food. Had breakfast there twice. Both the sandwiches and the pancakes were very yummy!☺️ It is quite small though so only can accomodate groups up to like 5-6 people.

22/04/2025: Ashling Hotel was a very reliable place for good traditional food. Not anymore. Had a meal there on Easter Saturday. The food was pretty mediocre. A pretty poor attempt at nouvelle cuisine. It would be better if the chef stuck with traditional menus.

02/04/2025: Food was great, staff really friendly, a few really nice wines in the wine list 👌 big ups to Gonzalo and Emma

05/01/2026: Nice place to eat and do some shopping for the house and garden

30/12/2025: Food & coffee good. Customer service Staff very poor indeed. All 4 service staff that we encountered between ordering, paying, coffee/hot drinks maker and table food service person hadn't a notion on how to address a customer. Customers treated like irritants; clearly these service staff didn't want to be there &/or had not been given any customer service training. Compares very poorly with the personable and efficient service in their Perry St (city) location.

07/01/2026: Food not great wings cold, food not presented well and tasteless. Adults finished by time kids food came.

05/01/2026: Traditional Irish breakfast was great, building was cool and the service was spot on.

13/01/2026: I come here a few weeks ago with my wife and my kids, we think what a lovely place to have lunch. The food was good and the waitress very kind. The only big problem was the landlord who was torturer with his staff, it's was very embarassing for everyone. I can't imagine what it will be to work with this type of boss, I work in restauration and I never see that type of behavior. I can't imagine what it can be when there are no costumers. I can't recommand this type of restaurant when I see landlord like this.

15/12/2025: Very nice place, good crepes, I can't wait to try another! The coffee is also pretty good.

07/11/2025: Beautiful food, quick service everything cooked fresh and different special menus every friday night as well as the bar menu. Prawns pil pil were so tasty. Friendly staff so helpful and chatty.

23/10/2025: we went in here for 1 drink on way home we didnt see the sign saying no children allowed after 9 so after we were served the drink they told us in a more nice way that we had to go after that drink there was no problem whatsoever with this that was our mistake -- there was a lady in there with a dog who stayed going mental & she did leave but not before she spoke to everyone on the way out while the dog was still going mental

24/08/2025: We got the feeling that they didn't want to serve us at 8 p.m. They told us the kitchen was closed and there were people dining...

23/08/2025: We were there last Friday. Waitress was not customer friendly 2/10 I got tea with sour milk , a colleague got the smallest portion of risotto you could serve Rip off and terrible services. Unlikely to go back and we were regular.

10/12/2025: I had a pleasant experience at the No. 27 Bar & Lounge. While waiting for my room to be ready, I decided to grab a quick bite. I ordered the Fish & Chips and a soup. The soup was delicious, though I can’t recall its name. The fries were decent, though a bit dry. I think they could be better. Overall, the food was delicious and the service was attentive. It’s a great place to grab a quick and satisfying meal.

09/12/2025: Inside the Shelbourne Hotel. Excellent service and tasty food.

14/08/2025: Even though the restaurant was extremely busy, our waiter did an exceptional job! He was very personable and made our last meal in Dublin very enjoyable! Awesome Job, Moises!!!5
