The 50 best sweets spots in Dublin

This is a very small café that sells pastries and baked goods. The place looks really cute, but there isn’t enough seating. The atmosphere is lovely. I had high hopes for the pastries and tried the pain au chocolat and croissants—the chocolate they used was quite dark, which isn’t really to my taste.

I've been staying a number of days at a hotel near Hansel and Gretel, and have found this great little bakery and coffee shop a convenient stop as I'm walking to various tourist sites. The pastries are freshly baked and very good, and the coffee (which may be supplied by a coffee shop chain called Ariosa) is very good. Unlike other nearby coffee shops, Hansel and Gretel has no seating either inside or outside. But if a takeaway cup of coffee and a pastry is your thing, this is a great choice.

We have been customers of the H&G branch in the Swan Centre Rathmines since it opened. In fact it is why we chose to do our supermarket shopping there. It was with dismay that we saw last night workmen dismantling the cafe. Your product was very good, coffee, pastries and apple tarts too. The staff were very helpful and pleasant, particularly the French lady. What happened to cause this closure??

Charming bakery with a great selection of pastries, cakes and sandwiches. They also do Too Good To Go bags which have been amazing value when we’ve tried it. I miss the beautiful cake display they used to have in the middle of the space (it made it much easier to browse), but I’m guessing it might have been taken away for health and safety reasons? In any case worth dropping by if you’re in the area. Coffee and staff are nice too.

I'd give this place 3.5 if possible as 3 seems a bit too harsh and 4 seems a bit much. So after searching around and seeing nice reviews, I visited the place to try out their Pistachio Bakewell that they have posted almost everywhere on maps to Instagram etc. Brought home and tried that along with Almond Bakewell as well as per the recommendation. It felt a bit dry to me and wasn't as amazing as I thought it would be or as it looked. I am not sure I am going to try it again.

Such a stylish place to buy a pastry and a coffee on the go. Everything is laid out out in the open as if you were in the home of a compulsive baker. It looks a bit like a story book idea of how a cake shop should be. Is it a coincidence that it is located en route from the gallery to the museum? Everything in here looks like a work of art but fortunately there are no glass cases to stop you getting your grubby mitts on the treasure. A self-service cake shop this good? It's almost a crime.

I had I hopes for the top rated bakery. The coffee was good. Service was good. The twice baked almond croissant was lacking crispness or crunch on outer layers. Seemed a bit underbaked, but otherwise good. I purchased a sandwich for train ride later in day. The brie cranberry & pear sandwich was exceptional. The bread was perfection and the filling a perfect combo. Definitely give it a try. Look for baked goods with light browning.

I was recommended to come here to from a friend and I'm sure glad I did. Busy line up when I arrived but it moved pretty quickly. Employees are there to give you samples while you wait, and they were more than happy to give you a few to try. I ordered the Sea Salt and Honeycomb Caramel, and both flavors were fantastic. Really rich and creamy, strong flavors. Dairy free options are their sorbet, and a few gluten free as well. Prices are reasonable for what you get, definitely give it a try if you love ice cream!

Murphy's ice cream is first-rate. Its flavors are true, its ingredients seem to be top-quality, and it's not super-sweet. The chocolate whiskey scoop we had along with a raspberry scoop today were both wonderful. And the person dishing up the ice cream couldn't have been nicer.

Truly the best ice cream in Ireland, and some of the best I’ve ever had! The flavors are unique and every single one is delicious. The staff are friendly and patient — samples are unlimited and we basically tried them all! Definitely stop in!

Amazing ice cream shop! No wonder there's always a line. Ice cream was milky and not overly sweet. All servers working there were absolutely friendly and helpful. Can't wait to return.

A little more on the expensive side but so worth it for the delicious and interesting range of flavors! Love the brown bread and butter flavor and espresso martini! The staff are always so so nice and chatty too! Love the late opening times too!

My smooth chocolate & strawberry ice cream was tasty. The ice cream is from milk from Kerry which is great. The flavours are a bit weird & not all of the same standard. Many are too sweet. Overall it's expensive for what you get. Service is excellent.

Dingle Ice Cream, just off Grafton Street, has quickly become one of my favorite ice cream spots in Ireland — in fact, it’s my second favorite in the whole country. The quality is excellent, and their creativity with flavors is impressive. I absolutely loved the chocolate with Teeling whiskey, a brilliant mix of rich and boozy notes that feels uniquely Irish. The texture is creamy, the taste is fresh, and the overall experience is fantastic. Definitely a must-try when exploring Dublin city center!

The strawberry cake tastes better than the fruit tart, but overall nothing was particularly impressive. MIMOSA CAKE was actually quite nice — refreshing and lemon taste not too sweet. Next time I’ll try the tiramisu that my friend strongly recommended, though I’m not sure I can handle how sweet it looks! The pasta is supposedly handmade, but it felt pretty average. Service was very friendly!

I have mixed feelings about Dolce Sicily. The first time I visited, the experience was much better, but on my second visit it didn’t really transport me to Italy as I had hoped. The highlights here are definitely the desserts — the pistachio tiramisu and pastries in general are very good. However, I have serious doubts about the savory food. I ordered the ossobuco risotto: the meat itself was well-cooked, tender, and flavorful, but the risotto had no taste at all. After waiting 45 minutes for the dish, it was quite disappointing. I mentioned it to the waiter, who kindly took the plate back, but what came next was very bizarre: they brought me a new risotto and literally took half of the ossobuco from my first plate and served it separately on a smaller dish. For a restaurant that is not cheap, I found it unacceptable that the chef didn’t bother to remake the dish properly. Overall, I feel Dolce Sicily needs to improve a lot on consistency and service to win me back — and honestly, I don’t think I’ll be returning.

I ordered a cake to pick up yesterday to celebrate my birthday a week early because most of my friends will be travelling on my birthday date. We had it this morning! I got the Red Velvet, which is my favourite cake so far!!! All my guests loved it. Most of them didn't know your shop, and I can say that everyone was asking: "Where did you buy this cake? Where is the shop located? ". Well, I just want to say thank you very much!!! I knew I wouldn't be disappointed!! Thank you, thank you and thank you!!

Dolce Sicily is a true Italian gem in the heart of Dublin — elegant, dolce, and effortlessly stylish. The desserts are simply irresistible, from heavenly tiramisu to perfect cannoli, each bite bursting with authentic flavor. Warm service, charming ambiance, and exceptional quality make it a must-visit spot for anyone craving a sweet taste of Italy. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They say go where you see long queue and it should be good - not always the case, but for this one it def is! Worth the wait and must try if you’re around the area. We had pistachio cannoli, pistachio tiramisu, americano and italian hot chocolate. It is on the expensive side, almost 30eur. For Dublin it’s OK, I found the desserts average but oh! - the italian hot chocolate made me want to go back as soon as I can. First time trying all them so maybe not the best judge. Oh well I enjoyed it. It was so packed yesterday so will head there again today hopefully not as busy.

This charming, albeit cozy, Italian restaurant delivers truly exceptional dishes. The pasta is clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and each bite is a burst of authentic flavor. I used to think they only serve desserts but recently found out they have a beautiful lunch menu. The desserts are equally impressive—don't miss them! While the space is intimate, the beautiful decor and warm, attentive servers create a delightful atmosphere. It's a must-visit for any pasta lover.

Owner manager from Sicily is a gentleman! Very nice and hospitable. They hire 52 people to ensure quality and great service. A must-visit in Dublin.

Manning’s Bakery – Pretty pastries, slightly crusty service A clean, attractive spot that really stands out among its more “up and coming” surroundings. There are lots of people walking to Guinness like me Inside, the counter is a visual treat, cakes and bakes galore. Sadly, two of the four things I ordered were out of stock, and the staff seemed mildly allergic to patience. The scones? Tasty, but more rock cake than cloud-like fluff. Conclusion: Looks the part, tastes decent, but service and stock issues mean I'll look elsewhere first

Mannings Bakery has long been an institution in Dublin and remains well-regarded for its quality baking and consistently delicious cakes. Their long-standing reputation and commitment to good service are clear to see, and they continue to deliver dependable quality in their selection of pastries, and celebration cakes. However, I've noticed a change over the past five years in their birthday cakes. Where once the cakes stood out for their exquisite artistry and stylish decoration, they have recently become more ordinary in design and presentation. The creative flair that once set Mannings apart from other bakeries seems to have faded, leaving the current birthday cakes without the distinctive, elegant character that used to define them. I share this observation as constructive feedback because Mannings remains a valued and respected bakery in Dublin. Their quality of baking is still strong, but I hope they might revisit the artistry and decorative innovation that once made their birthday cakes truly special.

A delicious Dublin delight—where tradition meets comfort Mannings Bakery & Café is the kind of place that makes you feel instantly at ease. Established in 1952 and still family-run, it’s a genuine artisan gem tucked into the heart of Dublin, serving up handcrafted treats with a side of heartfelt hospitality. We stopped in for coffee and pastries, and both were absolutely delicious. The coffee was rich and smooth—clearly made with care—and the pastries were fresh, flaky, and indulgent without being overdone. Whether you’re craving a buttery croissant, a cream-filled slice, or something more adventurous, Mannings delivers with flavor and finesse. The café itself is a lovely space to relax. It’s clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully laid out, with just the right balance of cozy charm and modern polish. We lingered over our treats, soaking in the calm and watching locals pop in for their favorites—a testament to the bakery’s loyal following. What truly stood out was the outstanding service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. You get the sense that they care not just about the food, but about the people who walk through the door. That kind of hospitality is rare, and it makes all the difference. Whether you’re grabbing breakfast, celebrating with a custom cake, or just treating yourself to a quiet moment with coffee and something sweet, Mannings Bakery & Café is a place that feels like home—only with better pastries.

I ordered 2 birthday cakes for my daughter’s 18th. A chocolate mud cake and a Victoria sponge. Both were delicious. The Victoria sponge was the lightest cake I have ever eaten. Would recommend and will be using again. I had the cakes delivered. I received a text on the morning of delivery to share the estimated time.

Fabulous bakery and café. Delicious celebration cakes and cream pastries for a special treat.

Ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday party. It was absolutely delicious!! The parents were impressed and the kids devoured it. Even when I had to make changes, it was sorted so quickly and smoothly. I highly recommend them for all your cake needs :)

One of the worst customer service experiences I’ve had in Dublin. We came in 25mins before closing, and the young woman with black hair and a deep voice acted like we were an inconvenience from the moment we walked in. Every question was met with impatience, and before we even finished choosing, she abruptly said: “So this is the one you want, right?” It completely rushed us and made the whole situation uncomfortable. Then, another female staff member came over, and the two of them just started quietly talking and laughing together,chatting in small voice with each other right in front of us — very clearly giving off a “hurry up and leave” attitude. Whether it was her or the other staff who started it, the message was obvious: they didn’t want us there. It felt rude, dismissive, and honestly disrespectful. We left feeling unwelcome and annoyed. Definitely won’t come back, and absolutely do not recommend this place if you expect even basic manners. owner actually looks into this and fixes the customer service issue, because no business should make customers feel rushed, unwanted, or disrespected.

Bread 41 is where craftsmanship meets creativity. A buzzing Dublin bakery turning simple ideas into pure flavour. The sourdough is exceptional, the Cruffin irresistibly flaky, the Savory Croissant rich and inventive, and the Sausage Roll easily among the city’s best. Coffee’s on point, staff are upbeat, and the atmosphere hums with local charm. It gets busy and prices reflect the quality, but every bite reminds you why it’s worth the hype.

This is a stunning place and extraordinary bake foods buffet. Chose anything it’s simply elevated standards - homely but fresh and innovative. Loved the croissant, bread butter pudding, chouxin. I literally stumbled into this place and what a great place. ❤️❤️❤️

Bread 41 is amazing! The pastries are so tasty and fresh, and the coffee is honestly the best I’ve had in a while. The staff are super friendly, and I love the big shared tables — such a great vibe. The line was out the door, but it moved fast and was totally worth it!

I was really looking forward to visiting Bread 41! As soon as I got there, I queued up and grabbed some bread and coffee. Luckily, there were still a few seats left inside. I tried the custardo, salted caramel knot, and almond croissant. Maybe my expectations were too high, but although the bread wasn’t bad, I was a bit disappointed because it didn’t have that rich buttery flavor I was hoping for. The Americano was a little pricey, but since other drinks were the same price, I think trying something else next time might be a better deal. ☕️🥐

For some reason, this place is always busy. Maybe they do nice bread, never had. I tried cinnamon roll, and although there was a cream on the top of it, it felt a bit dry. Would I go back again? Yes, to try their almond croissants, they looked good.

This is my second time coming here and I loved it just as much! They have an incredible selection of baked goods and pastries, savoury and sweet!! I got a custardo and a cheese and onion tart, both were superb. Staff are so friendly, helpful and efficient. Highly recommend!

I tried 6 kinds of bakery for breakfast😂 My favourite was Savoury Croissant and Almond Croissant!! Almond paste was fully filled in it:-) And coffee was also nice to enjoy bakeries:-)

Arguably one of Dublin's most famous bakeries (you'll find their name printed in countless cafés' suppliers), and for good reason. Their breads and sweet bakes are amazing. What's more, the freshly redone shop in Portobello is inviting to have a sit-in coffee or a little lunch. Good bread will always make me happy - and Bretzel has really good bread on offer!

I've been buying the berry cake from this bakery for at least seven years, and it used to be one of my favorites. Unfortunately, the quality has noticeably declined. There are barely any berries in the cake now, and the dough isn't as soft as it used to be. It’s disappointing to see such a great product change for the worse. I really hope they bring back the original quality because this used to be one of the best cakes around.

I must say, this spot is chill and has really tasty coffee. The prices are good, too! I had a cinnamon roll— it was delicious.

I can't believe I am only figuring this place now. Thanks to my BFF. Small little cafe attached is actually beautiful. Lovely pastries (very home made vibe). Great coffee. Very affordable. Great service. Highly recommend.

Friendly staff and a good variety of products. I liked their sandwiches, but although the bagels looked delicious and fluffy, they were actually quite hard, so I didn’t enjoy them. Still, I’m happy to have a place like this in Portobello for fresh bread 👍🏻

This used to be my favourite place in Dublin for breakfast - I would always ask for coffee and a cream cheese bagel. I don’t know if management has changed but this place is not what it used to be. In the past , bagels would be bigger with a generous amount of cream cheese. I didn’t even mind the burnt flavour it had, as the cheese was delicious and would overpower it. This weekend I went back to this bakery and I was truly disappointed. Everything is more expensive, the bagel is smaller and barely had cream cheese - I could only feel the burnt flavour this time. It’s truly heartbreaking to see one of my favourite places falling apart. They refurbished the whole thing and to me, it now lacks personality. I am thankful for the good times I had here for the past 3 years, but I don’t plan to ever come back. It’s very sad to see a good place being sacrificed for money - but i guess it pays off.

I got just one scone, but God how good it was even without any jam nor butter. First in my life and thanks to that I fall in love with them. Thanks

The sandwiches here were so good that I had to order a second BLT! The service was fast, and the staff was friendly. A great place to relax and enjoy a tasty meal after visiting Dublin Castle.

Me and my sister went there for the pasties and the pain au chocolat was divine! The best I've had-atleast around where I live! The tiramisu could be better, we got too much chocolate and very little coffee flavour so that could be improved. Didn't try their sandwiches but they looked very tempting, will go back for sure! Quick turnaround and staff are very nice and warm too.

Queen of Tarts in Dublin is a charming café, perfect for a delicious treat. Their selection of tarts and pastries is amazing, offering both sweet and savory options that are mouthwatering. Everything is homemade with fresh ingredients, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The place has a cozy, warm atmosphere, making it ideal for a coffee with friends or a relaxing breakfast. The staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable for the quality. If you're in Dublin, this is a must-visit spot!

We came her for breakfast on our last day in Dublin and both ordered the eggs your way breakfast. The food was good and very filling. The eggs were good, potatoes were seasoned well and the toast was very fresh. Orange juice was fresh pressed and the tea came as a cute little set up. Our server wasn’t the most attentive but it didn’t bother us too much. If she came around more I would have ordered more like another beverage and maybe a dessert. After sitting with our empty plates for quiet some time I finally walked to the front counter to pay. I think it’s a little on the pricier side for a breakfast meal but it was an overall enjoyable dining experience.

Queen of Tarts is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the aroma of freshly baked goods and the cozy atmosphere. The food was simply divine – each dish bursting with flavor and made with the utmost care. And let me tell you about their Baileys cheesecake – it's a must-try! Creamy, rich, and utterly indulgent, it's a dessert lover's dream come true. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall delightful experience. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, Queen of Tarts is the perfect spot. I can't wait to come back for more!

It was a fantastic cafe in the quiet area of the center of Dublin. It's very popular during lunchtime. I visited in the morning and their service and the cake were incredible! Scorn was super big and it would be enough to feed three people! Carrot cake was also great!

Our party had the Bailey's Chocolate Chip cheesecake, the Queen of Chocolate Fudge Cake, and a salted carmel hot chocolate. Everything was delicious! The hot chocolate was more warm than hot, but probably the sweetest item of the lot. The store is charming and cozy with both indoor and outdoor seating available. The menu also included breakfast and lunch items.

Last weekend my girlfriend and I went to Brother Hubbard for the first time and it was amazing. We were welcomed really well. Even though there was a queue, it was fast and we got a table quickly. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. There was also a man working with a big smile all the time — later I saw a book and realized he was on the cover! The atmosphere is great and the food is delicious. The only thing is that the Mimosa was a bit too strong for 11 in the morning hahaha Just one more point: it would be nice if the staff wore uniforms, to make them easier to identify I totally recommend this place!

There is a sign at the entrance that says "best breakfast in Ireland". When I was being seated I mentioned that to the person who led me to my table and he said that it was something that someone mentioned. He wasn't aware that there was a sign that mentioned that. I ordered a decaf Americano with milk on the side. Then I waited to order. It took a while for a waitress to come and ask for my order and when she asked me if I was ready I said "I want the basic with bacon". Then she left and I waited again. Then I noticed that people asked for a coffee and a pastry and then waited and asked for their food. The coffee and the pastry was like an appetizer. My food arrived and then I started eating. After the first bites I realized why the sign is at the front. In my opinion this is the best breakfast I have ever tasted in Dublin and other places I have visited in Ireland. The service may not be the greatest but the breakfast is amazing. It is my favorite place for breakfast so far and I will continue to go here for as long as I am in Dublin. I didn't enjoy the decaf Americano as much but next time I will order orange juice instead. Overall I highly recommend Brother Hubbard for breakfast. Go and visit. I know you will enjoy the food here.

I really like this place — I’ve been here before and had an amazing experience! The atmosphere and service are always great. However, today I tried the Irish breakfast, and it wasn’t as good as I expected. I think it could be improved, and the coffee was a bit too bitter this time. I know you guys can do much better because you usually do! Looking forward to coming back and seeing it back to its usual great standard.

OMG this place is a must if you need fresh, tasty and vibrant food. The 3 salads change every two weeks. I got the broccoli and cauliflower with the coleslaw and a lentil & carrot. Absolutely divine!!! The pulled pork benedict was delicious also according to my boyfriend. Also had a rose, raspberry and apple drink- very refreshing.

Had brunch here yesterday and it was grand! The staff were friendly and welcoming, the place had a nice buzz, and the food hit the spot. My meal and the flat white were both top-notch. Definitely a solid spot for brunch in Dublin, I’ll be back soon!

The absolute best food I've had since going vegan in 2023! It looked colourful, smelt divine, and tasted fabulous! It was quite busy throughout the time that we were there but the staff never looked harassed and happily answered my questions. They have a cookbook that I will be ordering on payday. It has a lovely open, contemporary feel to the place and despite how big it is, due to its layout, it doesn't have that 'canteen' feel that some large restaurants can have. The menus are regularly changed too. I most definitely recommend Brother Hubbard if you're ever in Dublin and want some really great food, vegan or otherwise..

The brunch here is REALLY good! I had the puller pork benedict and it was epic. They also serve fresh orange juice which is so rare I had to order one. The coffee is also very well made. The service is very friendly and the place is really cool! If it's warm enough try sitting outside.

The food was great and the place itself really made it feel like 1960's USA, the menu is really big and diverse so they pretty much have it all. Totally recommend the place and will be going back!

First time visiting Eddie Rockets and the atmosphere is really unique and loved it. The service was great and nice to see friendly people. The burger was Amazing! One of the best I have ever tasted. I had the vanilla shake and to be honest it barely had any taste to it. I like that it’s served in the metal cup. This is the only downside as I haven’t had any other items from the menu. I would definitely go back.

The food follows the American dining style and is well prepared. Burgers taste good same with the fries and onion rings. The chicken tenders are really good and juicy. Service is great. They have a full food allergy book on site if you ask for it so we felt safe eating here with a food/nut allergy. Staff were pleasant.

Nice place with nice food, the menu is quite extensive and the prices are a bit higher than normal but you’re also paying for the interior vibe I guess which is worth it if you’re into experiencing a diner.

Came here to try to the new Supernova burger that everyone was hyping up. And it was okay, the meat quality was not the best, you could taste it which they tried to cover up with a lot of sweet sauce. Other than that it was well cooked and stacked, just cheap mince. Still prefer the likes of Featherblade, Handsome and Wow for burgers in Dublin.

Absolutely Fantastic Experience at Eddie Rocket’s! Eddie Rocket’s never disappoints! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with that classic American diner vibe — shiny chrome, red booths, and upbeat music that instantly lifts your mood. The staff are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to care that you have a great time. The food is simply outstanding. The burgers are juicy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavour — easily some of the best you’ll find anywhere. The fries are golden and crispy, and their milkshakes are on another level — thick, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Every bite feels like comfort food done right. It’s also a perfect place whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch, treating the family, or catching up with friends. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the atmosphere is just so fun and nostalgic. I can’t recommend Eddie Rocket’s highly enough — it’s a feel-good experience from start to finish. 🍔🍟🥤 If you’re looking for amazing food, friendly service, and a great time, Eddie Rocket’s is the place to go!

Got the cheeze please. Got the original. It only has one patty. Half serving of wings which all but two were the skinny part of the wing. Celery was shown in the description but missing. I had sparkling water to drink. 26.25 euros with a two euro tip. A bit more than Johnny Rockets in the USA I thought?

Love this place! It has its own unique atmosphere, a great little market, healthy food, and friendly staff. They used to have dishes that suited my taste a bit more, especially the arancini plate, which was my favorite, but the menu has changed a bit lately. Still, there are plenty of delicious options, and the overall vibe keeps me coming back.

Please keep in mind I’m a basic Texan and this food was from another planet. I had the meat sandwich. Weird ingredients and terrible flavor. My wife got the granola bowl and it was also not good. No real service as you place the order at a counter and they bring it to you. To be totally fair to the owners this appears to be a super popular place and was packed. So I blame our experience on our lack of knowledge about these dishes and flavors. But still we deemed it the worst meal of our lives.

My go-to brunch place. It has a lovely atmosphere, is dog friendly, has a tiny shop inside it. They don't take bookings, if you arrive later in the noon, you might have to queue for about 5-6 mins but it's absolutely worth it. They have a very limited menu and the food is very tasty. Their pastries and desserts are fantastic and are different every week I believe. You will always find this place buzzing in the afternoons for brunch. They stop serving food at 3 pm. Lovely place for a nice brunch with your friends or partner or even to eat alone and bring your dog 🐶

I went here more than a month ago with my friends, for the vibes of the place alone I'd give it a 10/10 but the food unfortunately did not meet my expectations, nothing wrong with it but it wasn't hitting the spot for some reason, the flavours were just okay for me personally, I ordered the vegetarian sandwich of the day which was onion fritters and mint sauce in it, as an Indian myself I'm not unfamiliar with the flavours but they could've done more with the sandwich. The staff was nice and warm as well. Again, the place isn't bad, just not for me I fear.

Really lovely place for some breakfast and brunch. Reasonably priced and the food is fresh and tastes really good. The staff were warm and friendly. Especially the guy this morning in the shorts. Liked him a lot. Thanks for letting me take the poster. Check this place out!

Ciao ragazzi, The breakfast deal is a must when you are here. Value for money is brilliant especially when you own this place. Atmosphere is great with the long tables and shared seating. Piacere!

One of my favorite coffee spots in Dublin! The atmosphere is lovely and the food is so fresh! For their coffee they use beans from Denmark which are very nice!

I went with my friend for brunch, but unfortunately, there weren’t many options on the menu. I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich with ketchup, but there was way too much ketchup—it was the only thing I could taste. My friend got a brunch plate, but the toast was really hard. We also ordered a mocha, but the flavor was strange and didn’t really taste like chocolate. I had a slice of lemon cake too, but it barely had any lemon flavor—felt more like a plain cake. Considering the prices, we expected a bit more. Maybe it just wasn’t a good day (it was raining, lol), but overall, we were a bit disappointed.

I love the breakfast and lunch options they have. Their drinks are delicious! The service is great; they're very friendly and helpful. I love going there to read a book quietly. The people are always smiling and kind. 🌿🍃🌱🍀😌🙌🏻 I love that the staff not only speaks English, I can speak Spanish and there are also some who speak Portuguese and Italian 👏🏻👏🏻🤍

A hidden gem behind a bookshop!Such a cozy and charming spot! Loved the Green Goddess ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and the buttermilk pancakes ⭐⭐⭐⭐, though the fruit topping was a bit too sweet. The cappuccino ⭐⭐⭐ and hot chocolate ⭐⭐ weren’t my favorites, but the atmosphere, quick service and overall vibe made it a lovely place to relax and enjoy breakfast.

Great cakes but do not do takeaway. They pack the cakes on the side for some reason and they get all over the box. (We carried the box for 5 min walking and we held it right side up)

Very very good food, we waited an hour for our food which was weird considering I ordered hummus toast! The food was incredible and the coffee was good just a long wait!

It kills me to have to post a review about what was, once, my favourite café in Dublin. I came here this morning to treat myself and my friend to some coffee and brunch before work. After coming in, I noticed that the place was almost empty. Perfect. We were promptly seated and given a menu. Both myself and my guest ordered coffee, a scone and the 'Scramble'. The server asked if we'd like the scones with the scrambles, we indicated that we didn't have a preference. Lovely. Off to a great start. However, it didn't take long for things to start coming apart. Firstly, the server brought us our two scones, but no coffees. Not ideal, but not a big deal. Surely, it would have made more sense to bring us the baked goods after our scrambles, but whatever, we'll roll with it. When the coffee did eventually arrive, we had already finished our scones. Okay, all a little disappointing, but these things happen. Next, we waited for our food. We waited. And waited. In vain, we waited. Our plates weren't cleared, we weren't checked up on at all. In fact, we were completely ignored. Our coffees finished, we fancied another, but still we couldn't get the attention of any staff; who seemed to be congregated around the kitchen taking photos of a dish on the pass. As restlessness set in, I checked my phone and saw that it had been 40 mins since I sat down. I decided to ask how much longer my food would be. I then had to leave the table, approach the congregated staff members and ask for an update on my food. I asked 'is my food coming up soon', my waiter looked at me and said in an agitated tone, 'not yet', but at this stage, I'd had enough. I cancelled the food. Feeling dejected and disappointed, I asked for the bill. My server simply said 'sorry about that' in an offhand manner. When she she came out to take my payment, she repeated 'sorry about that', without making eye contact or showing any genuine remorse for having delivered such a poor customer experience. I decided to offer some feedback. I told her that coffee should always come before food and it was unacceptable that we had finished our food before our coffee arrived. She told me that it was the way things were done at Cake Café. When I insisted that it was uniform etiquette across all cafés and restaurants, she simply said 'not here, some places do things differently'. She had an air of scorn about her temperament which I found a little unprofessional. She then repeated 'sorry about the restaurant', repeating her claim that it's restaurant policy to deliver coffee to customers once their food is finished. She didn't offer any commiseration. Her whole demeanour was angry and confrontational, which is especially disappointing, considering ours was so polite. I work in service and have done for the past 10 years. I'm incredibly forgiving when it comes to staff mishaps when im dining out. But a level of service this poor is inexcusable. If one of my colleagues acted in the same was as our server did today, Id consider them wholly unsuitable for the industry and would wager they wouldnt last very long in the job. Again, it pains me to post this. I really hope that you guys can make whatever changes necessary to restore the level of service for which you were previously regarded.

I took my mom here for afternoon tea to celebrate her birthday while we visited London. The surroundings are simple, but I loved the atmosphere. There’s a great outdoor seating space which we couldn’t use because of the rain, but it was so beautiful to walk through. I tried the roasted vegetable sandwich, which was amazing. We shared a cake plate, and a pot of tea. Everything was so delicious!! On top of that, our waitress really went above and beyond and gave us incredible service the entire time we were there. Highly recommend if you have a chance to go!

Beautiful location in Dublin, I felt like I was on a Parisian street. We had the brunch, it was great value for money and the staff were friendly and accommodating! The food was delicious, I can’t wait to come back! An 5 star holiday brunch to start the day, thank you.

Ladurée in Dublin is absolutely magical. From the moment you walk in, the décor feels straight out of a Victorian-era salon — gilded mirrors, ornate moldings, elegant pastel tones, delicate chandeliers, and beautifully upholstered chairs that transport you somewhere whimsical and refined. It has that timeless French elegance, polished and romantic. ([Letters of Wanderlust][1]) It’s my absolute favorite place to order hot chocolate. The chocolate is of exceptional quality — rich, smooth, perfectly balanced — a drink you linger over. There’s something about wrapping your hands around a warm cup in this setting that makes you appreciate every sip. Also, the service is consistently lovely: attentive, courteous, and always with that little extra touch that makes you feel welcomed and pampered. If you’re in Dublin and craving something sweet, comforting, and beautiful — Ladurée is the place.

Absolutely delightful experience at Ladurée Dublin! The pastries were divine, the hot chocolate is a must try. A perfect spot for a sweet treat in the city.

Lovely french coffee shop great selection of pastry, cakes, desserts and tea. The decoration and atmosphere is so cosy looks like you are in France. Service is great staff are very friendly.

Lovely French café in Dublin! The coffee, cakes, and macarons were delicious. I took some photos of the pastries on display and no one minded, though the looks were a bit funny 😄. I’ll definitely be back!

Very nice and clean place. Macaron and matcha lattes are amazing. They also have the option to sit down and have table service with breakfast.

Staff were very helpful and patient while we made our choices. I had the passionfruit and Marie Antoinette macarons which were amazing as always. Always a go-to spot!

Cute bubble waffle place in Dublin! There are a lot of flavor options in addition to customizing your ice cream. The place also sells savory things, like noodles and such. Very versatile and the noodles seemed as delicious as the bubble waffles. The service is very fast, there is a toilet inside, as well as wifi. I would definitely recommend coming here!

The shop was really noticeable and cute! The service was great and quick. The bubble waffle was very tasty. It wasn’t too sweet and I felt like I could eat one more piece of it 😂 Also the price was definitely worth it! I’d definitely recommend it.

Authentic Hong Kong style beef noodle , the only one I know in Dublin, quite big portions of beef exactly like the pic👍👍 , just need have more spicy 🌶️ oil and I would request more beef soup next time as I feel a bit salty . Others all perfect . The bubble waffle 🧇 & ice cream 🍨 big portions as well . Could not eat all ? Only ate 🍨😉, the food came very quick as we were the only one in it.

The waffles are freshly made and there's a huge variety to chose from. You can also customize your waffle by requesting your own ice cream flavors. It's definitely quite the excessive snack but so worth it. "You can't be sad if you eat a waffle" is quite fitting. The seating area also makes it possible to eat in the cafe.

We decided to try this Bubble Waffle Factory. I have never tried a proper bubble waffle. So I tried The Berry one with Strawberry ice-cream. It was totally delicious. My son tried the Biscotti one. These waffles were really good. Should be stopping for more soon!! My son also had a bubble tea. He tried a Taro tea with popping lychees!!

Love this place. They offer a wide variety of bubble tea and waffles as well as other tasty treats. Highly recommend. The only suggestion I would have is to have the white shelves with juices and powders cleaned to get rid of dust, as it does not give the best impression when we are waiting for the food. Other than that it’s all good!

Nestled in the Temple Bar hustle and bustle, Bubble Waffle Factory is a street-food delight. Savory and sweet waffle-based confections hit the spot for something to eat while you wander Dublin. The staff are extremely kind, and very helpful when helping decide what to try first. J had a Thai chicken waffle that was served hot and a little spicy (which is perfect) and a green tea with boba that was the perfect sweet pairing. But sweets abound, and the “croffles” (croissant+waffle) was calling my name, so I tried the Oreo variety. Absolutely delicious, and the prices were right for these street food nibbles and simple pleasures. I travel to Dublin for work regularly; I will absolutely be back by.

The food was delicious and great price. We ordered capuchino with a blueberry cake and ham and cheese sandwich, the portion was good. Nice place to take a coffee after walk on the garden

€11.20 for the dingiest coffee & sausage roll that has no meat, tasteless. Don’t bother visiting here because the new café since it reopened is very bad. You used to be able to get a full hearty dinner before this crowd took over. Its terrible :(

Cozy coffee shop and bakery where you can enjoy your morning quietly. Loved the flat white here, which we had along with the carrot cake, chocolate peanut butter cookie and lemon bar. Highly recommended and would definitely come back again

Gorgeous ❤️ little cafe hidden below the Goethe Institute. Open until 20:30 Monday to Friday. Great cakes, service with a smile, great atmosphere.

Had a yummy sandwich with pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella! My husband had the breakfast sandwich and he enjoyed his too. The sourdough bread was the real deal. Nicely toasted. We also ordered a side soup each. It was good with nice garnish on top but was only lukewarm. I believe soup should be served piping hot!! I bought 2 chocolate brownies, 2 raspberry cheesecake brownies and a coconut loaf for takeaway as we were headed to my friend’s house. All treats were delicious!!! It’s such a nice place for a coffee + treat or a quick bite. Loads of tables. Great lighting. Very open space. Clean toilets.

Ordered a coffee cake with buttercream frosting and it turned out wonderful and delicious. Not too overpowering and enjoyed by all, thanks very much guys! Edit: One year later, another cake, just as beautiful thank you

Discovered this place during a food tour, and we got to talk to the owner of the place and to know her story : we all feel in love with her story, she really fought to deserve the success of this bakery ! Ireland is magic like that, go try her scones 👍👍👍 Edit : I wanted to write a review a new review but I can see that I had already written a review for this great bakery. Caryna, we want to thank you for the beautiful and delicious wedding cake ! We got many great feedbacks about it 😃 We were very happy with it and it looked great, definitely played a big part to make our big day the perfect day to remember !

Visited on a Thursday evening and asked to sample mint. I wanted two different flavors cause it was good, but I wanted two different ones and they told me no. Why can't I have 2 different flavors? What's the issue. I would have paid extra if that was the issue. Not sure if that's an Irish custom if it is it's odd.

It is a nice place and apparently a chain with a few branches. I have to admit, looking at it, the ice cream didn’t look very fresh. But we decided to give it a try and it was really good. I had the peanut butter chocolate and it was good. The cone itself felt fresh and it’s important and my friends were happy with their choices as well. So definitely give it a try.

Came for the vegan options and returned for them too! So much flavor without any of the dairy. Did try the dairy flavors too though and they were also good. The to-go containers made for a solid deal if you need to feed a bigger group. The parlour scoopers ran a tight shift as well!

Very disappointing. Large portions but weak flavors. This gelato can’t be recommended.

Good waffle, they have student discount! Fairy big portion, 6 to 7.5 euro per waffle.

Went there and found love in gelato again. The madagascan vanilla and pistachio was an incredible combo and I am over the moon with my dessert. The only knock against this experience is that the "bowl" I had was the papery "cone" that tasted pretty bad. Not enough to reduce the rating though!

Lovely spot with great selection. We got an Oreo sundae (8 euro), a mango scoop in a tub (4.95) and a gelato cookie sandwich. If you like pistachio ice cream definitely get it here it's beautiful.

The absolute best donuts I've ever had in my life! When I tell you I'd be willing to travel back to Dublin just for 6 of these donuts, I'm not joking (at all). It would have been worth the wait just to chat with the two guys behind the counter. What a pleasant conversation! Anyway... While my husband was around the corner ordering a meat breakfast sandwich, I was looking for somewhere to get a muffin and a hot beverage. I never found a muffin but, when I saw a line outside of a tiny donut shop on Bachelors Walk, my curiosity got the best of me. I am SOOOO glad I waited and grabbed a box of donuts. Every single donut was delicious. I ordered 6, fully planning to share with my husband. He had half a donut and I ate the remaining 5 and a half before we left Dublin. I seriously should have bought another box before heading home.

The Rolling Donut is an absolute must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth in Dublin! They offer the best donuts I’ve ever had — perfectly soft, beautifully decorated, and not overly sweet like many others. The variety is incredible — probably the largest selection I’ve seen anywhere — and they even feature fun seasonal creations (the Halloween ones were amazing!). There’s something for everyone here, including delicious vegan options that taste just as good as the regular ones. You can mix and match your favorites — three in a box for about €10, which is great value considering the quality and size. Each donut feels like a little piece of edible art, full of creativity and flavor. Whether you grab a box to share or just treat yourself, The Rolling Donut is a delightful stop that easily lives up to its reputation as Dublin’s donut heaven! 🍩✨

I ordered a birthday box, and it was delivered right on time! I’m really happy with the delivery service. The donuts tasted amazing — all of them were delicious, except the vegan one 😜. Thank you so much!

Perfect treat for a quick breakfast in our hotel room before heading out to tour Dublin. We stopped in late in the day to buy some donuts for the next morning and they were still very fresh tasting the next morning.

Whenever we visit Dublin we always stop here for a nice treat. The donuts taste super fresh and not sickly sweet. The cafe mocha is a great addition:) Can’t wait to come back.

Lovely company that sell loaded donuts in Dublin. Biscoff one was delicious, one of the better filled/loaded donuts that I have had. Definitely worth checking out if you're a lover of those round treats.

Absolutely delicious! The doughnuts were perfectly fresh, soft, and full of flavor. The staff was friendly, especially Cristian and Luca - every bite felt like a little bit of heaven. Can’t wait to come back! 🍩✨

Expect a 3 minute wait to be seated if you come in around lunch. Definitely worth it though! The waitresses were very very friendly and helpful with suggestions. We had the pea soup, a sandwich and the raspberry cheesecake which were all superb.

Queen of tarts, the name and all the prizes you see at the door seems that you are entering the best place in Dublin to eat a slice of cake. The place is really well located and the interior is lovely. You see the cakes and you feel that you want to try all of them. The prices are a bit high but if it is the Best place, ok, let's try! I went for the apple cramble with black berry and I left the place truly disappointed. Lack of taste and lack of sugar. Whenyou eat a cake at least you have to feel a bit of sweetness, but all the cakes have almost nothing... I felt it was a overrated place, with lots of advertising a less taste. But I will give another time someday The coffees were really nice.

This place has always tempted me for its name because I love tarts but unfortunately I couldn't tried it for long because I use to mostly go to city center at nights when it was closed. We once visited on a weekend with some friends and as soon we saw it open we went there. We didn't get a table right away but it was worth the wait. Tart was not what I was hopping it to be but overall nice quality and taste.

Great service & the best apple wood ham tart in existance... seriously... Super charming environment with little extras & details that make it feel special. Real flowers, tea in grandma's China cups, and water with fresh lemon and herbs. What a great experience.

Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere. The food arrived quick and was delicious with big portion sizes. The cakes were even more wonderful!

Great place for breakfast or brunch! The service is phenomenal and the food is even better. The scones and coffee are fantastic. I had the hearty breakfast and loved it! Not a lot of space inside, so try to beat the crowd or expect to wait for a bit. A must-try if you are visiting Dublin!

Yummy scones and other pastries. Goid tea selection. Friendly staff that will get you served quickly. You always receive lemon/peppermint infused fresh water upon being seated, which I find very nice!

Really cool little cafe attached to the new Proof Pizza joint with Instagram-able decor and tasty bombolinos! Bombolinis are an Italian-style donut topped and filled with various different sauces and flavours. I went for the Berry Eton Mess which was a decent size with nice fresh berries and perfectly cooked mini meringue drops. They could have added a bit more strawberry syrup but that's just nitpicking! 😜 It did come with a small round donut though so that was a nice touch. A great way to get something sweet after a neighbouring Proof Pizza!

Cute little cafe with a nice setting to take a coffee in. Great place to go chill with a book and really nice bathrooms! Only drawback is that it really is on the fringes of the city centre, so very far to walk to if coming from the city centre.

My friend who was getting married and two of us bridesmaids went in here for a coffee during a break from preparations. They were so lovely! The waitress was very sweet and was chatting with my friend about her wedding plans. The coffee was also lovely but the waitress (I'm afraid I can't remember her name) made the experience memorable

Staff was great. The girl that served us was very nice providing excellent customer service while chatting to us and answering our questions. The whole look of the shop is unreal, providing a very cool modern classy look. Very good place to take a few pictures on instagram. The place is not that big but when it comes to it’s hot beverages and desserts they are sweet and delicious.

A real treat for excellent coffee(my fav preference is a latte - extra hot! 😊.) Trendy place to lunch...the pizza's look fantastic, serving beer too. Sorbets + other delights made to order. Ambience is cool, casual & relaxing...outdoor seating also available!

Such a beautiful and instagrammable cafe!! I had the popcorn hot chocolate and it's definitely became my next new favourite. It's so rich but not too sweet, just the way I like it. The bombolini on the side is good too, so soft inside but crunchy on the outside. Definitely would come back to try their sundaes and more bombolinis. Oh, the waiter was friendly and cheerful too, it totally made my day instantly when I came in.

I highly recommend this place! The staff is very nice. The drinks and pastries are delicious. WiFi is fast and free. There were also accessible outlets so that I was able to work for a couple of hours. Regular food is also served and looked delicious. Give Cafe Bombo a try!

A memorable dining experience at Pichet! The food itself was impressive. Beautifully plated, packed with flavour. Each course was a delight, and it’s clear the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. The fries/ chips was amazing and one of the best fries I ever had in my life!!! Reservations are highly recommended as it was full house on the day we went. Pichet strikes the perfect balance between casual comfort and fine dining polish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special evening out in Dublin. Will definitely be back!

This was the best restaurant we have been to this year. My wife had the Halibut and described it as the tastiest fish she has had in a long time. I had the artichoke ricotta and it was nothing sorry of superb, it really did tickle the tastebuds. There was little potato crisp as decoration and even they were delicious. The wine was also good. The service was also too notch. It was an expensive experience but only because we had some fine wine, the place is reasonable. All in all we had a good experience in one of Dublin's top restaurants. Pichet is definitely one of our favourite places over the last few years.

Had a very nice meal at this bistro. The staff is a little too faux French but professional and efficient. Interestingly I had the best chimichurri sauce I have ever had at a French restaurant in Dublin??? It was served as a sauce to go with the steak frites. I would like to see it on the menu. The two bartenders made a great selection of drinks done very well.

Went there for dinner as a couple. We had a fantastic time. The food was absolutely delicious and high quality. The short rib melted in the mouth. The salad with figs and goat cream cheese was also wonderful. Cocktails were very well made and tasty even though I had one that was not on the menu. I highly recommend the venison and the pork as mains. The waitress was fantastic - Hvala, Stefanie! Also special thanks and compliments to the chef - Marin! We will recommend this place to all our friends and we are sure to visit again when we are in Dublin. It was definitely worth it!

This Michelin Bib Gourmand spot is a great nice night out, with their ambiance warm and the service excellent. The menu is French-based, with great options for fish, steak, or vegetarian. They make some awesome cocktails! If the Dry Aged Tomahawk Steak with smoked bordelaise is on the menu, it’s a great pick! You get two sauces on the side and a nice little side salad. One of the dishes we ordered had a sauce so phenomenal that our waiter brought us complimentary sourdough bread (amazing!!!) to soak it all up!

Our meal here was outstanding. Really great flavors and great service. We want to come back to Dublin, just so we can eat here again. Highly recommended.

I visited Pichet recently with a group of friends from work. I would strongly recommend booking in advance, as I saw several people turned away because no tables were available, even on a Wednesday night. We were seated at a table right next to the main door. If you are booking, I would highly advise requesting not to be placed there. The constant flow of people entering and exiting, along with the high noise level in that specific spot, really detracted from the experience. The service was good; everyone was polite. I asked for a mocktail and they created one that was absolutely delicious, one of the best I've ever tried. The menu offered loads of options, and the main courses were truly delicious with generous portions. In my opinion, the only missing piece was the dessert. We ordered a variety of them to try, and I have to say they were a disappointment. Overall, the great food makes it a worthwhile visit. I would recommend Pichet for a nice date, a lovely dinner, or a fancy night out.

Love this place. A little hidden gem. Cocktails are boozy and delicious. Staff are so helpful and give great recommendations. I’ve been 4 times over the years and not once had a bad experience. Looking forward to my next visit.

Great experience. Service was out of this world. Cocktails came so quick we were wondering how they did it. Extensive cocktail offering and I threw them a curve ball to create something different which they easily did and was amazing. These guys know what they’re doing! Loved it!

Yes a speakeasy, hidden in plain sight. But the crowd in front gives it away. Multiple floors with intimate seating, very narrow spaces and dim candlelight lighting. The broccoli was disastrous. The cocktails recommended based on my palate, not good. Had the Rosy&Jim and then the Condor&Curly. They say a cocktail bar with a large menu is nothing special. VCC didn’t serve.

A delightful bar secreted behind a scruffy door in the middle row of a busy street adds an air of illicit speakeasy to the whole experience. Ring the doorbell and - so long as you have a reservation - you will be admitted to a dark hallway then upstairs to a large candlelit room decorated in 1920/30s period pieces and individual tables. The service is attentive and very pleasant. An extensive menu of classic cocktails and house variations is laid out chronologically by period. The drinks are well mixed and potent using only the very best ingredients. They also have a menu of snacks and larger dishes. I can thoroughly recommend the Sidecar - superbly lemony and packs a punch. Highly recommend a visit to this wonderful piece of atmospheric cocktail longe-lizard life.

A real secret in the Temple Bar area. Ring a nondescript doorbell and be admitted to an old-style speakeasy. Extensive cocktail menu covering the classics and own inventions. Had two Manhattans which were gorgeous. Lovely service from the friendly hostesses as well. They offer small plates and cocktail making classes as well. You need to book a table - a couple tried to sneak in the door after we were admitted but were pleasingly told to wait by the hostess - some cheek on people lol!

I was so impressed with this place I’m writing the review while I’m still at the table. The drinks are so good. And the service is next level good. Do yourself a favor and make reservations. We’ll for sure be back on our next trip to Dublin. I’m attaching a picture of the door just to reinforce it is the nondescript black door.

Don’t go for the food. Olives were good. Cocktails are great!

We found Dunne & Crescenzi a bit underwhelming. The burrata came with sourdough instead of the promised focaccia, and the aubergine didn’t taste roasted. Spaghetti was nice, but garlic bread and fries were just okay. Fresh orange juice for the kids was good, but the ciccochino italiano under hot beverages was confusing and not really a drink. Overall, just an average experience — probably wouldn’t return.

If you are in Dublin, add this place to your list. We had a lovely night out the three of us for a late dinner. The staff were so friendly and food was excellent. We had such a terrific time we are more than we should have. Definately try this place out, great wine selection, all of our food tasted great and we never felt rushed to get out, they just allowed us to eat and relax. 6 stars if I could add it.

Whilst visiting Dublin from Australia , this restaurant was recommended to us . It didn’t disappoint ! It was hard to get a booking as it is very popular , but we did get one . The food was superb and the portion sizes perfect . A great atmosphere to enjoy a family meal and in a lovely part of the city .

Wow! Wow! Wow! What a crazy find, I was on my way to another place and walked through here, got pulled in by the plates they were serving outside. Everything you want in a restaurant, clean, great service, excellent food. Its a gem of Dublin, highlight of trip. Please go!

Fantastico!!! Me and my family we arrived on a Friday evening without reservation, the host was super friendly and nice and found us a place . Food was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing large portions as well!! All the staff we friendly, especially our waitress Cinzia. Highly recommend looking forward to be back !

I wanted to find a decent eating experience whilst in Dublin and happened upon this place for lunch. I was not disappointed. The seafood linguine was excellent - good seafood and just the right amount of chilli. Service, wine and atmosphere were also excellent - very busy on a Monday lunchtime.

Reliable Italian dining institution that's survived on the Dublin food scene for years. A bit touristy and loud but the mushroom ravioli definitely made up for it.

An unforgettable evening at Pickle Restaurant, Dublin! 🌶️ From the first bite to the last, every dish was bursting with authentic Indian flavors and perfectly balanced spices. When the food is this good, you know you’ve found a gem…Highly recommend! 🙌✨

Pickle was an absolute delight! The service was phenomenal, truly above and beyond. The food was incredible, bursting with flavor. Just a heads up for anyone who isn't used to Indian cuisine – the spice level is definitely intense! But don't let that scare you off, I'd still highly recommend it.

Our experience at Pickle Restaurant was outstanding from start to finish. The food was exceptional, highlights included the lamb chop, tandoori prawns, crab meat, pork chop, tandoori chicken, and biryani. Every dish was beautifully prepared with great attention to detail. Roshan and his team provided warm, attentive service that made the meal even more enjoyable. The tooti-frooti and gulab jamun were a perfect end to a wonderful evening. Highly recommended!

The food was absolutely amazing, we got two starters, two mains a bottle of wine and two rice all for 144 which is very reasonable for the quality of food. I got the prawns for the starter and my partner got the lamb chops, both were Exceptional. The mains were ridiculously good, I had the fish curry and my partner had the goat both were amazing. The service was good at the beginning as our starters were explained well and everything on the plate was told to us. But the rest of the meal they were kinda dry but it was fine. Would 100% go back again. We’re excited for more food

Excellent food and service. All staff were so attentive from when we walked in the door to when we walked out. The food was the nicest Indian food we have had. We had 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 dessert, 3 soft drinks, 2 beers, and one coffee and the bill came to €140. Worth every penny! Will definitely be coming back.

pickle is absolutely outstanding in all aspects – from the food (obviously) to the service and the ambience. we thoroughly enjoyed the fauzi chicken wings and the crab & mango starters. the mains were incredible, the zafrani chicken korma was super fragrant, and the laal maas (lamb shank) simple fell off the bone… it just melts in your mouth! i would devour anything that the chef cooks! it’s worth every cent

Amazing restaurant, the food was unbelievable and the staff are really helpful and welcoming!! We had a birthday meal here and they were completely obliging to make it a nice time!!

Delicious breakfast and excellent customer service. Three visits over 2.5 weeks. Their smoked salmon is beautiful. Have the ‘Breakfast of Champions’ and you will not be disappointed. Ps. Book at the weekends

Lovely visit to Herbstreet for brunch this morning. Glad we had booked as it was very busy. This however didn’t compromise on the friendly welcome that we were greeted with and the attentive service throughout. We’d booked an indoor table but asked if we could sit outside as it was such a beautiful day and the outdoor seating area at the front had a lovely view over the docks and was basking in sunshine. This was accommodated and early explained when the table was to be returned. Great menu with a range of breakfast/lunch options. Food was delicious and portions very generous. Hadn’t visited this area of Dublin before but lots of interesting sightseeing opportunities close by for afterwards. Hope to visit again.

A nice place for brunch or lunch in Grand Canal Dock. The food is very tasty and their menu have a variety of healthy meals like the Champions Breakfast, some salads for lunch or a little sinful like their blueberries pancakes with orange butter flavour and the french toast. Regular coffee, good matcha and chai latte. But one of the things that makes us return here is the customer service, the staff are really amazing, friendly and always helpful and welcoming you with a big smile. Feels like going to eat at home.

I brought my grandmother here before the book of Mormon. We both got chicken and waffles. It was her first time getting them!! She absolutely loved it and enjoyed her very first mimosa as well. The only letdown with restaurant is that it is very loud and they play heavy bass music, which makes it hard to have conversation!

Maple and bacon French toast was delicious. Would definitely come back! I felt that the portion could’ve been a bit bigger for the price, either an extra piece of bacon or french toast. Still lovely

Breakfast of champions! Absolutely delicious and super filling — I didn’t feel hungry for the rest of the day! Everything was spot on: perfectly poached eggs, creamy avocado, fresh smoked salmon, and a squeeze of lime that tied it all together. Oh, and the coffee? Smooth, rich, and just what I needed. Loved the cozy spot and the lovely view. Definitely coming back for more!

Nice little ‘neighbourhood restaurant’ as they proclaim on a sign outside. But it’s true. It has a nice, cozy and easy going atmosphere and everyone from the staff is very welcoming and friendly. We had the Chicken and Waffles and a Full Irish breakfast and unfortunately part of the Irish breakfast were quite cold or stale as they have to pre prepare it. Overall it was relatively bland. The chicken and waffles were tasty as well as the fries.

Great little Italian Restaurant in the heart of Dublin. Yes, why Italian instead of Guinness pie and The Wild Rover live music? After six nights of that, the vegetarians voted Italian. And how good it was, from the warm welcome,charming wait staff, and cozy atmosphere to the flavoursome pizzas and prawn pasta!! Highly recommend if you can live without the pub atmosphere and toe tapping Irish music!!

The restaurant had a very nice atmosphere and staff were all very friendly and accommodating 👍🏻😊 it would be best to make reservation to make sure you have a seat as the restaurant is quite small. The food overall is ok - we ordered Calamari & Veg Fritti, Arancini (these two were great and definitely recommend to everyone 😍) We also ordered Rigatoni alla Amatriciana & Mushroom risotto. The pasta sauce was abit too sour but still ok if eating with the pancetta. The risotto was creamy and not too salty which was nice 👍🏻

Have walked past this place many times but never thought to go in, that changed last week before a show in Vicar St . I was incredibly impressed by the food. The pizza was fantastic , the calamari too, really good food overall, service was stellar. It's a bit pricey , but that's not unusual given the location in town.

Ideal Italian, like eating at your granny's - tasty, wholesome, big portions. Wedges of fresh focaccia. Terrific tiramisu- so good I'd finished before photo op! Good friendly service.

I would give this restaurant about 4 stars, maybe slightly under. The pizza was very tasty, though the dough was so soft it was the kindve slice that collapses on itself upon being picked up so do note that. The pasta was delicious and the portion was huge, though it was warm as opposed to hot. The arincini, unphotographed were bad, small portion, poorly seasoned and raw chunks of carrot in the salad, avoid. The creme brulee was divine, a must. Otherwise service was fine. I will also add that the chairs were terribly tight. It would not be suitable for a generously proportioned person. We shared a starter and a dessert and had a main course each. It cost about €90, so slightly more expensive than it was worth.

I visited this Italian restaurant with my partner. The pasta Bolognese and risotto were okay but not very tasty—good enough to eat but no wow factor. The service was friendly, which was a positive.

The place servers good food and there are vegetarian and vegan options. Tried a red and a white vegetarian pizza and both were delicious. You can also take children here, they will give coloring page and crayons for them.

Cosy and lovely place, the volume of music was perfect (not loud) to chat with friends - and the playlist was amazing. Staff were attentive, food was brilliant and authentic, but the chocolate mousse melted my heart. Just go for it! Toilets were cleaned. We booked in advance for a Tuesday evening, so there was plenty of tables available.

I saw the summer special for fish and chips and a glass of cava for €26 and decided to try it. The service from when we got there was great. We placed our order and the food was out in under 10 minutes. 2 cods were on the plate but I’d say the star of the dish was the tartar sauce never had anything like it and the fish was super crispy. 10/10 would recommend and the cava pairing worked really well!

Lovely place! We came for dinner with friends. Upstairs it has more of a formal vibe and downstairs more of an intimate atmosphere (I think would be very nice for a date) we had sharing board with Irish ham and cheese, perfect for sharing (we were 4). I had rib eye steak, it was okay, I bit too well done and so a bit chewy and not rare as I requested. The lamb was very very good and the burger was nice too . Must try their polenta chips! Great wine selection. Great atmosphere and staff is very nice and knowledgeable.

Where to begin? From a design perspective the place is great and very sexy. The staff is very customer centric. I have some allergies and the Chef made some modifications for my dinner, absolutely amazing food. And the wine selections were spot on. Can’t wait to return here.

Very cute wine bar with amazing food. Albeit, no green vegetables today— every bite we had was exceptional. The wine is also very tasty with natural options. The restaurant itself is cozy and comforting. The staff is also very lovely.

We had our wedding lunch in their beautiful Georgian dining room on Ely Place recently and had an amazing time. The organisation and communication from the team before the event was so easy and they couldn't have done enough for us, helping with flowers and storing the cake. All of our guests were raving about the food and it was so lovely to have our own space. Couldn't recommend it highly enough for a special occasion.

Myself and my girlfriend had an amazing food and wine secret pairing. Our server gave us in depth descriptions of each dish and the wine that came with them. The food was very flavoursome and beautifully presented. We particularly loved the extremely tender beef. Servers were very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend and cannot wait to return!

“Great cocktails and a warm vibe. Loved the live jazz singing by @ericassings. The jazz singer’s velvet voice filled the room with warmth and elegance—made the night feel special. Definitely worth a visit!”

Very good cocktails, mixed service. I reserved a table online, but upon arrival got informed it’s only for an hour and fifteen minutes due to a “big reservation” arriving later… which i found quite rushed and inelegant for a place like this. The hostess was very unapologetic and disinterested in any conversation. We got seated upstairs. Nice decor, but some of it damaged and I repaired, bit of a sewage smell in the room. Luckily from there it got only better. Our margaritas were delicious and bartenders super attentive and kind. Mixed feelings really.

Vert nice experience, different from the usual busy pub and crowds! nice atmosphere, it feels like you are in old exclusive club, where gentlemen go to chat and drink! Sabina, (I'm not 100% sure if that's her name) the Barwoman made very nice cocktails and she is very good! for something a little different i surly recommend it

What a great quirky cocktail bar. Go upstairs where you will get popcorn and prosecco while they make your drink. I had the number 18, smokey and chocolatey

I got drunk but I like the cocktail. Good vibes and kinda classic , staffs are friendly, good service. Will visit again!

Disappointing Experience – Rude Security (man named Kingsley) and General Poor Communication We booked this bar for my mams 60th birthday celebration with a group of 15 people, most of whom were over 50 including 1 guest in his 80s. We had communicated a minimum of 15 guests with potential for a couple more, and they graciously accommodated 18 guests in total. Unfortunately what was meant to be a lovely night (and it was up until the end) turned into an upsetting experience for us. The party arrived before my mam as it was a surprise, and when we arrived there was no mention of a time limit stay. There was also no mention in the email or communications about this. When we were asked to leave, the wait staff got the security and was very rude and aggressive towards us. We mentioned we weren't notified of this by email, or calls – and showed the security man (Kingsley) the communications pointing out this, Kingsley then, almost slapped the phone away and told us to get out. We moved downstairs while we were waiting for a taxi, and Kingsley again being rude and aggressive told us we cannot wait there either. We explained our great uncle is 80 and we're not waiting out in the cold. He had a dismissive behaviour but let us wait inside. I asked him his name as I wanted to report him for his behaviour, and he wouldn't tell me, I had to go to the bar lady who did tell me his name. The place itself is lovely, and as I said it was a nice night - I just hope management can look into improving communication and ensuring all guests are treated with courtesy in future.

From the moment I walked in, the cozy, vintage atmosphere set the tone for a fantastic evening. The cocktails were on another level—creative, delicious, and beautifully crafted. The staff were so friendly and took the time to recommend drinks based on what I like, which made the experience feel personal and special.

Food was exceptional quality. All the dishes were outstanding in taste & flavor. Particularly the duck and beef tar tar. Set menu is incredible value for what you get. Service was friendly and really good. Love the decor and little details. Definitely recommend!

My friend and I dined here with an 8 p.m. reservation and finished around 11:45 p.m. We chose the tasting menu, but the courses came out quite slowly. Several of the dishes had a noticeably sour flavor — maybe that was part of the chef’s theme. The atmosphere itself was lovely.

Love everything about this place!!! Best food we had in Dublin and should be Michelin starred. We got a wine pairing with our experience which I would say is a must because the somalier is very knowledgeable. If we ever return to Dublin, we will be returning!!!

Amazing experience, food and service. The only slight minus was the cold welcome by the lady at the reception desk. A smile and a different welcoming phrase anything other than " what can I do for you", would be nice to match the rest of the atmosphere and well thought dishes/matching wines.

The food was really excellent. However the location lacks ambiente and is way too noisy. Staff is very nice but not very helpful about the food expérience. Basically they were simply stating the same thing as listed in the Menu, no added value or insight. Two of our courses were served in the wrong order. Waiting times between dishes were also quite random and sometimes we got our food after others that arrived half an hour after us. The food is good but to make it worth the full price it would be good to the see the expérience extended to the whole establishment.

Fabulous meal to top of our Ireland trip. We had the sourdough, cheese selection, gnocchi, calamari, and oysters, and everything was perfectly executed. The service was wonderful.

We visited for pre show dinner as it is very close to The Gate theatre. We were blown away by this gem of a restaurant, lovely period decor, great staff and fantastic food. It fell short on atmosphere but it was mid week and our booking was for 5 30pm. I look forward to revisiting and having a more leisurely experience, one not dictated by a showtime.

First-time visitor to Ireland. Was told this was a great place, near our hotel, for breakfast and it didn't disappoint. The big breakfast crepe was delicious (have to put the BalleyMaloe relish on it... yum) The sugar waffle was even better and the Americana coffee was very good. It's a small quaint place with outdoor seating.

We had the Canadian and the strawberry pancake stacks. Looks quite good, tastes below average. It is cheaper than some places, and I guess it mattered. There are a few places nearby where you can get top tier pancakes for a couple of € more

I had a delicious strawberry supreme crepe and an iced latte. My boyfriend had the breakfast and maple stack, and said they were the best pancakes he ever had! The staff were very friendly too. Would definitely recommend :)

Went for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised. The omelette was very good and the pancake and french toast surpassed expectations. Very generous portions and well made as well! Drinks were good too. Only thing was that the omelette seemed to have a sweet aftertaste that seemed strange. Maybe the same utensils were used to cook something sweet before.

Great place and people, I just took the breakfast, it’s perfect.

Fabulous! Absolutely a must visit. Super accommodating, friendly staff. Darker crepes in the images are gluten free. Both sweet and savory offerings. Great coffee too. So good, for our short two day visit, we ate here both days. An absolute must if anywhere close!

This place is amazing for their crepes. Truly delicious and a great variation for both sweet and savoury. Vegetarian options are available . There’s also delicious hot waffles to choose from! (And of course sandwiches and french toast). I tried the caramel mocha and that was delicious. I visit this place quite often because it never fails to satisfy. The staff are very lovely and efficient. The atmosphere can be quite busy. Outdoor seating is available. It is a small space so wheelchair or stroller accessibility might be challenging. Food is available for takeout.

5 stars all around food was unreal portion size was huge chicken lovely beef lovely potatoes lovely and creamay

Ann’s Bakery is a great spot right in the heart of Dublin. The location couldn’t be more central, making it perfect for a quick stop or a sit-down meal while exploring the city. The space is big and comfortable, with plenty of seating, which is a huge plus in such a busy area. The food has that classic Irish feel — hearty, tasty, and made with genuine care. Whether you’re after fresh pastries, a full Irish breakfast, or something warm for lunch, the quality is consistent and satisfying. The staff are friendly and helpful, creating a relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to come back. It’s one of those places that locals have known for years and visitors are always happy to discover. A solid choice for good Irish food, generous space, and welcoming service — right in the centre of everything.

A bit rude lady in the cash = not friendly customer service ... Cakes with strawberry are only for display she meant in her "own" style and said they are not for sale....not sure whether that is true!! Maybe it was a bit far for her to reach🤫. The cake was good though without strawberry. Wont recommend after this experience as a customer but the food looks and tastes good. Employee-behavior has a long way to go. Thanks.

THE WORST PLACE IN DUBLIN! First of all, they delete all the bad comments you put on them. As for the site, the workers are very rude, especially the blonde manager and the teenagers who work, they laugh at you and do nothing to understand you apart from being racist! They try to scam the tourist so BE VERY CAREFUL! In addition to the quality of the food, it leaves a lot to be desired, they keep the food trays for two days, health should go to check the hygienic measures. IF YOU CAN AVOID IT.

Today we went to Ann's Bakery to get lunch. There is a deal you get 2 courses. You get a main meal and a dessert. I got fish and chips. For dessert I got a strawberry cheesecake. My son tried the roast Carvery. He had turkey and ham with roast potatoes and vegetables. He had a Black Forest Cake for dessert. The food was alright. I thought my fish could have been a bit crisper. The place was clean and the staff are friendly! They also have lots of fresh cakes and pastries. It has a bakery section too.

Great cakes and the food is very fresh and delicious

Stopped here for a typical Irish breakfast and honestly I do not regret. Food is delicious, one can choose among different formulas, also there is a huge choice of home made desserts and bakeries. Service was extremely friendly and welcoming! I strongly recommend!

Ordered the Kinder pancakes and the Irish breakfast — both were tasty and well-prepared. The menu offers a good variety and the prices are quite reasonable for the location. The atmosphere is bright and casual, perfect for a relaxed brunch. The only downside was that the service could’ve been a bit more personable and friendly — it felt slightly rushed or indifferent. Still, a solid spot for breakfast or brunch in the city centre, and I’d definitely go back.

Lovely breakfast options and tasty food. We got the brioche with egg, avocado, relish, halloumi and bacon (no bacon for me) + match latte and americano + the star pancakes. All delicious, in good portion and we got them quickly. Service was good as well. Recommend arriving early. We arrived there at 9am on a Saturday, first to enter but suddenly the place was busy with tourists, but we had a good time there.

Excellent service and delicious food! I really enjoyed my meal. everything was fresh and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was fast. They’ve also added new dishes to the menu, and they’re amazing! Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere.

Everything about the place was absolutely amazing, the server we had was super sweet & lovely, he definitely gave us a warm welcome to Dublin. We had Vincent as our server and honestly hope others get to experience his service, we all loved him and found him to be the best x

We had an amazing day. The staff was so kind and friendly and the manager especially went out of his way to help us and give us a great experience. We will be back. We love the Christmas decorations and the Christmas atmosphere and we recommend everyone comes here. The food was incredible.

Bustling city vibe eatery meets super personal service from my lovely waiter Vince on a busy Saturday Brunch-time. Excellent beverage recommendation with a refreshing Bellini to complement my zingy and fresh tasting Avo on Toast. Great stop off by the river before catching the bus to the airport! Adios!

We had a very bad experience. The waiter was very inattentive and constantly rushed to the door to open it to other guests while we were ordering. He also repeated our order correctly but still forgot part of our order so wee had to wait again. They did not have a lot of the menu and it was sad that they could not at least make the dish with one ingredient missing (e.g. the chicken chorizo sandwich could not be ordered even if we were fine with getting it without the chorizo). They also rushed us because there were people waiting even though we only stayed 40 min for a breakfast. We also saw the waiter putting in his eye drops. No washing hands or going to the bathroom, just in front of all the guests. We think that was very unhygienic.The food was good. The french toast was very nice! We will still not be coming again.

The arcade games were fun. You need to wait for a bit when there were many people. The hot chicken burger was very nice and it is quite spicy - My mouth was on fire! The IPA ambush beer is tasty too! Heard the vegan dishes were great so will come back with my vegan friends next time.

I was part of a group booking and we had the place to ourselves (+150 of us). The concept is great, the space is lovely, and the staff were terrific... great service team. But the food was a bit disappointing... as someone in our group described it, "it's like children's birthday party food." Still, good drinks (including tasty mocktails) and great games mostly from the 90s. Token donations go to dog charity! 🐕🐶🐾

I visited the Token Pub in the heart of Smithfield, Dublin. It's a good place for those seeking a unique and entertaining experience.

Highly recommended place!

A place for fast food both vegan and vegetarian. They don’t allow children below 18 years and so we had to sit outside as our 5 year old granddaughter was with us. Weird because we just had taken the Guinness storehouse tour, taking the child along. Anyways the food was not bad and service was apologetic and sincere. Looks like a popular place for youngers to hang out and play arcade games and have fast food.

It's amazing. Honestly one of the coolest places I've visited in Dublin. The food is good and there are a lot of vegan and vegetarian options, the list of cocktails was vast and there were non alcoholic options. The staff were really lovely and helpful for any questions we had. The arcade games are so much fun and there are so many to chose from. This places looks fantastic and is fantastic would recommend to everyone!

Awesome place to have some food and drinks and play classic arcade games as well as pinball. The atmosphere was lively, young crowd (students?), everyone's trying to have a good time at the machines even if they're not particularly gaming-oriented. Don't miss the back room and the basement, where there are more machines. The food is great, the portions are generous. Drinks are good too. They started shutting off the machines at 23:00, leaving me with a few unused tokens in my pocket. That's my only critique.

Cool, trendy, alternative spot. Good food, bacon burger is very nice, buffalo Wings are really spicy. Filled with old arcade games and pinball machines.

I recently dined at this restaurant, and overall, it was a good experience. For starters, I had the French onion soup, which was quite good, and the shrimp appetizer was also well-prepared. However, I was a bit disappointed with the beef bourguignon. The meat was drier than I expected and rather stringy, which took away from the usual rich, tender texture of this classic dish. That said, the sides—both the fries and the mashed potatoes—were excellent. While not perfect, the meal had some highlights, and I’d consider returning to try other dishes.

Very elegant and clean restaurant. The stuff very professional and very attentive. I ordered amazing wine, sparkling water which both were served to my glass. I recommend the onion soup as a starter. They were very kind to ask me if i am finished with my soup to bring my main plate. Linguine with shrimps. Best cooked and fresh shrimp i ever had, cleaned from their back (the intestine). For dessert i ordered the salted caramel fondant with half the amount of ice cream for personal reasons. I did make a reservation 3 hours before just to be sure. I highly recommend this restaurant! Thank you!

Visiting my friend who lives here and we hadn’t tried this place before. We sat at the bar and had some dinner. I had crispy buffalo wings with a blue cheese sauce then the gnocchi for my main and it was so tasty. Bar staff were professional and efficient with service, couldn’t fault them. Will come back again for dinner. Recommend.

Spent my birthday lunch here alone on a wednesday and everything went very well. I was seated to a dark corner initially but as more customers came in and seated to the tables next to me, they decided to turn on the lights at last. Service was excellent and food was served promptly. I dont drink alcohol so i got the non-alcoholic cocktails and they were surprisingly good. The food was delicious as well and I really enjoyed everything i ordered. I would definitely recommend to friends and I would definitely come back.

Amazing place! I had the fresh oysters and the tuna tartare, both were incredibly fresh and flavorful. I sat outside, and it was very comfortable thanks to the shade and the attentive staff. The atmosphere was beautiful, with lots of lavender, bees, and birds. It felt so nice to be surrounded by nature near the coast. I definitely recommend it!

It's been too long since we have been here last so an event in the theatre next door was the ideal opportunity to go again. We got traffic on our way to the restaurant so phoned to say we were running late. Arrived to be whisked to our our table seamlessly that showed good old fashioned proper hospitality is still alive. Colouring pencils for the the little person straight away and making sure her pasta arrived first but done in a way to make her feel like a third adult and not a child. Our waiter was amazing, figured out we had a show to go to and made sure to communicate with the kitchen to get food out. My Tuna Niçoise salad had a proper tuna steak cooked perfectly. I could have been in the south of France. Overall, we just couldn't fault Caspers and will be back just more quickly than before.

I came here spontaneously with my friend and we both loved the restaurant. Amazing food, authentic ambience and very kind servers. We can only recommend!!!

During my stay in Dublin I had breakfast here twice since I loved the first one so much. Staff is super friendly and the food is really tasty. I had the bagel with salmon twice, I loved it and still think about it.

My first visit to Dublin, we were on our way to St. Patrick's Cathedral and happened upon Bite of Life to grab a snack. I ordered a green smoothie, a berry smoothie, and a slice of salmon quiche. Both were absolutely delicious. I genuinely would like to remake the quiche recipe at home because of how unique it was! The green smoothie tasted very natural and healthy. I would definitely recommend. For the rating, since I am obviously a tourist, I don't understand the politics of Dublin, but for some reason every store front had a lots of political flags. It was a bit unattractive for me as a customer, but otherwise really appreciated the food and services of the cafe. Also the prices were a bit surprising, we paid $35 for two smoothies, a slice of quiche, and a side of scrambleld eggs, and smoked salmon.

My group and I loved the food, drinks, and the atmosphere. The people who work here are a JOY. We loved the happy vibes. Breakfast was filling and the lattes were great. Employees went above and beyond offering extra things to make our experience the best.

Very kind stuff and the food was nice. They have all day breakfast and I enjoyed it a lot.

Just what I want when I need a quick bite. Quality ingredients, friendly service, and, most important, good coffee!

My husband and I went to Bite of Life for coffee and a cake. The coffee was great, the cake was lovely, and it’s nice that they have gluten-free options for coeliacs. The staff were friendly and pleasant too. However, there are some real downsides. The bathroom is extremely small and definitely not suitable for disabled people or anyone who needs more space. What really put me off was seeing how the food was prepared — while waiting to pay, I saw staff cooking eggs in the microwave and heating up bacon the same way. It’s a pity because the coffee and cakes were good, but after seeing that, I wouldn’t go back for anything cooked.

Bright, Welcoming Spot with Top-Class Service Bite of Life is a standout café in the area—bright, inviting, and delightfully cozy without feeling cramped. Whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee or settling in for a hearty meal, the atmosphere hits just the right charm-and-comfort combo. What truly makes it shine is the service. The team is consistently friendly, genuinely attentive, and consistently attentive—creating a welcoming vibe that enhances the experience with every visit. In short, Bite of Life is a wonderful little gem that pairs great hospitality with a warm ambiance. Definitely a spot to revisit, especially when you're in the mood for somewhere pleasant to relax or catch up with friends.

The best authentic Thai restaurant in Dublin. Staffs are so nice and welcome us with a warmly smile, they also gave us a perfect recommendation for the food. Highly recommended!!

The restaurant is lovely. I had a very tasty vegan yellow curry. I enjoyed it very much, the staff is super friendly. I recommend it and will be back again.

We had an excellent time at nightmarket. The food is incredible, and can be made as spicy as one likes! Delicious flavors and the side room with tiles adds a cute ambience for a date night. Highly recommend!

This was easily one of the best meals I had in Dublin. Flavourful, spicy, and warm in the belly I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious meal. Its a bit expensive, but the portions are big enough for two meals. I will always pay money for good food and will absolutely be back to this place again. In a city where this is so much bland and flavourless, this truly is a standout place.

I wasn’t going to write a review… but then the staff made it so that I had to! I didn’t have a reservation and the restaurant was quite busy, so I came back an hour later. Not ideal, but I really wanted to eat here, and I’m so glad I did. They eventually found me a table, and from there the experience was exquisite. The food was incredible, I had the mussels, the red curry duck, and the cheesecake for dessert. Everything was bursting with flavor. The staff were so attentive, answered all my questions about the menu, and even recommended a perfect red wine pairing. The atmosphere was amazing, warm, lively, and inviting. Just make sure you book in advance ☺️

This is hands down our favourite restaurant! We have visited many times and it never disappoints. The authentic Thai food is absolutely incredible, the staff are fantastic and there’s always such a great atmosphere.

I have been always looking for a good thai restaurant that would serve good drinks. But it seems that I can always get either or. Nightmarket was unfortunately no exception. Let’s start with the environment. I made a reservation for the tunnel room. When I arrived I was offered a table outside by a pile of boxes. Upon requesting a different table, I was sat in proper tunnel room. That was great. I must say the restaurant ambience is nice, most table are good and it looks great, except for the table I was offered initially. Now the drinks. They have excellent drinks. I was very pleased. I just think they could have been faster. It took a long time to get drinks for a small place. The food presentation was great but I thought the flavor wasn’t there. I had a Tom Kha Gai soup and it was great. The pork skewers are fantastic. Then I had the Miang Kham and it was disappointing. It was a very dry dish. Well presented but very dry and not to my taste. Then we had the pad thai, the mango salad and the papaya salad. The mango salad was great but the fried crab that comes with it was over fried and tasteless. We could not eat it at all. The pad thai was not bad but it was missing something. It wasn’t the best but again, I was disappointed with the flavors. The papaya salad was tasteless and probably the worst I ever had. I love papaya salads and usually I ask it to be made mild so that I enjoy the flavors. Unfortunately, the flavors were not there. It was like it was missing something. Again the same pattern. Since the experience was not that great, we decided to skip desert. In conclusion, I believe they need to speed up the drinks and enhance the food flavors. Everything else was great. This place has the potential to be the best in town. Just not there yet.

Great breakfast spot in Stoneybatter. Meals are prepared fresh and the service is friendly. I had the hash browns (see photo) which were incredible. Others in my party said the pancakes were delicious and the matcha was spot on. Terrific option if you’re in the neighborhood!

We stumbled upon Slice in Dublin 7 by chance while looking for a coffee nearby — and what a great find it was! After ordering our drinks, we saw the staff carrying some absolutely delicious-looking pancakes to another table, and we couldn’t resist ordering them ourselves. They were incredible — fluffy, tasty, and beautifully presented. The staff were so, so friendly and welcoming, and the food was genuinely amazing. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!

Stoneybatter is our favorite neighborhood in Dublin. We stay there every time we're in town. Slice is some of the best food you'll have in all of Ireland. It's incredibly fresh and the menu is ever changing with care and precision. The service and atmosphere is wonderful and don't forget a sausage roll to go! We can't wait to come back and enjoy another great meal at Slice 💜

Best place in Stoneybatter for food. Perfect balance of flavours! Juices and coffee are 👌👌👌. Staff always warm and helpful whether busy or quiet. Great atmosphere!

Plate filled with plenty of great food, great prices and savours. Staff was super nice. Not a lot of spots inside, some spots outside. We were here for 9.40am and most of the seats inside were taken and some spots outside too. It was full by 10.30 when we left, so beware of possible waiting time, but it is fully worth it! Dogs allowed inside 🥰

Hello Jack - I appreciate your full refund . I checked my account and it’s been credited. Thank you . 28/10/25 Hi Jack I appreciate your reply to my review 5 days ago . You said you were going to issue a full refund ? Just wondering what your intentions are with this . I only ask because you said it in your reply . I haven’t seen any refund in my account . Respectfully Andy Has to be said …… Nice little cafe . But Not impressed with the food . Bit disappointed that the staff actually presented us with what was obviously stale reheated hard oil soaked hash brown . The veg and leaves with it were old and stale also . And I asked for sauce on the side which was not on the side - it was in a dish in the middle of my plate taking up half the space .so basically a tiny portion . And at there prices I would expect more . We got one drink each off the bill for this . But when the staff brought the replacement hash brown - it wasn’t much better . The coffee was lovely First visit . Not sure about a return .

Charming Cafe with Room for Improvement My visit to sample the highly recommended pancakes was met with anticipation, perhaps too high of one. While the pancakes were delicious, they didn't quite achieve the level of brilliance I had hoped for. The berry sauce topping, while flavorful, erred on the sweeter side. I must say, though, the cream was exquisite, but I wished there had been a tad more of it. As a devoted connoisseur of pancakes and French toast, I hold every dining experience to high standards, and these expectations can be demanding. On a positive note, the coffee here was rich and satisfying. The service from the staff was a shining star; they were unfailingly courteous and attentive, even when the place was bustling with people. One small downside is the cafe's size. They do offer outdoor seating with umbrellas, but Dublin's unpredictable weather means it's often off-limits due to rain and wind. This cafe is a cozy spot with potential for even more greatness. The pancakes are good, and a slight tweak to the berry sauce's sweetness, bigger size and a tad more cream would make them superb. Paired with great coffee and exceptional service, it's a place worth returning to, with hopes of witnessing it achieve its full potential.

I went to Wigwam for the Drag and Dine event last Saturday and I had such a lovely time!! Aria Nasty was such a lovely performer and a great comedian!! She picked me for a game and it was super fun! I didn’t win but I still got a free shot for participating 😂😂 As well as Francesca Filler, she was dancing and flipping all over the room. She put on a fierce show, I was highly entertained. Both were amazing drag queens, as well as drop dead gorgeous. I’m so thrilled that I got to experience their show!!

Myself and five friends attended on Sunday for the drag brunch. The service was excellent (especially in keeping our hungover pal topped up with plenty of water), the food was delicious (perfect poached eggs!) and the drag acts were stunning. Funny, engaging, and really talented. There were also great drink offers available. The brunch offer is very good value. My only complaint is that the ladies' bathroom upstairs has just one functioning cubicle (and that cubicle doesn't lock).

Hands down wigwam is one of the best and coolest spots in the city center amazing coffee staff drink selection cocktails and there food is absolutely top of the the range I will forever and always pop in anytime I'm around

I’ve been in Dublin for 10 years and Wigwam has always been on my narrow list of favourite spots in the city and I just keep recommending it to everyone. Chef Pedro always surprise us with new menus and creations celebrating the Brazilian cousine in the best way and his crew is always incredible. From a coffee and banana cake in the morning as a great place for remote work, to a chilled lunch dates, drag brunch with friends, bday karaoke or proper evening parties, this is your spot! ♥️ Keep up with the great work, guys xx

Not great… we bought tickets for festa junina. Waitress took us to a basement with ping pong tables. She promised she’ll come back with water but we never saw her again. No music, no decorations, no party. Just bored people playing ping pong. After a while we decided to order drinks but these also never arrived. We spent around 40-50 minutes sitting there with other disappointed people and left. Also smell of the basement was not so great…

We had so much fun the show was great And the performance awesome everyone had a grand eve and big laugh, keep going girls ❤️❤️❤️

Its like a dead place. The bartender doesnt know how to pour a beer or make a cocktail. It was empty and my friend got a draught beer which taste like sesame oil. Tried different kind of beera all were not good. Had to wait for ages to get order even it was not that busy. We got the pizza pint deal. Not sure about the food yet but already really disappointed. Not recommended. There are tons of good pubs in Dublin with better quality and better price. Not recommending to come here. The pizza dough was great but the ingredients does not goes well with each other. Tom jobin did jot have rockets. I will not go back here..

Hipster and chill. Would probably want a good day to really enjoy this venue! The fact that it is attached to the Bernard Shaw is handy as you can go for a pint there and nip out and get some food while you are at it. We went here for a wine & cheese festival and had great craic! Be careful of the spicy wings. I like spicy but this stuff will melt your face off!!

Cute place. Nice atmosphere. Small selection though. Arepas, mexican food, burgers, 2 vegan stands, one for desserts and one pizza place hidden inside. Not much of a market in my opinion but it is cute. The fries served in the burger stand were delicious!

Quite a walk from the city centre, but worth the wait. We sat in open air seating, not sure if there was more seating inside, but the weather was good so we were happy outside. Soft drinks were overpriced €3 for a 250ml bottle, but the food prices were reasonable. We ordered via the QR code, and didnt have a long wait. Beautifully presented and the flavours were outstanding! Well done.

A lively little yard of food stalls that serve a great range and variety of foods to satisfy all tastes. All of their packaging is 100% biodegradable which is fantastic for such a small place. The staff are very cherpy and help to make your visit a great one. Not easy to get parking but is well served by many buses so easy to get to.

Eatyard has an amazing vibe, especially now that Janets has taken over the whole place with her award-winning food. Every dish is full of flavour and quality. When the sun is shining, the atmosphere is unbeatable with a DJ playing and people just enjoying themselves. A fantastic spot for great food and good times.

This is a pretty poor attempt at a food market. Have been here twice and both times its almost empty with no vibe or atmosphere. I realised though on the second visit that you can go into the pub next door and there is a big courtyard with a pizza bus that is a lot more buzzing and fun. The burger here was very mediocre and cost €25 for just 2 burgers and 1 fries to share! Bunsen and Five Guys are significantly better and cheaper and you get to eat indoors! If you go here, go into the pub next door.

Great addition to The Bernard Shaw. Meltdown cheese Toasties are amazing and the Bailey's hot chocolate stand as well. So many food and drink options to choose from. Great place to go with friends.

Drinks were good, but we were disappointed to be refused a toasty at 15:30 with no explanation. Nothing on the menu said food stops at a certain time. Staff were quite rude—poor service overall.

Very nice spot! Good service, good coffee and didnt get any toasty but they did look tasty! Gonna be back soon!

Great coffee and service and even better food. The asparagus sandwich is especially superb. Fresh air on the edge of the coast and very dog friendly. A special place to enjoy food with the salt air, wind and sun with beautiful walks all around.

Such a beautiful spot with excellent service and a relaxed atmosphere. My only disappointment is that the hot chocolate isn’t made with real chocolate—a common thing in Dublin.

Lovely little café by the sea with a cosy atmosphere and stunning views. The coffee is rich and aromatic and the pastries are fresh and delicious. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze!

I know this place has alot of 5 star reviews but for me it waa really dissapointing. It is the only cafe on Bull Island and by default the atmosphere is perfect because you're outside on a fabulous Irish island sitting by the sea with wild birds at your feet and landing on your table, but this has nothing to do with the cafe. The seating provided by the cage isn't great, it's OK. The toilet you can use for only 30 cents by tapping your bank card, if it supports your bank card, if not... tough... yet my card is supported for me to pay for their food and drink... on tthat, note the toasties were poor, the drinks were just OK. The service was so slow if I hadn't paid in advance I would have left.

Great spot for coffee and sandwiches. Especially after a dip!
