Best restaurants in Dublin, Ireland
"Zakura is located on two hidden locations in the city centre, but once you found it you’ll be sure to enjoy it. On TripAdvisor people talk about Zakura as a “hidden gem”. Try their Bento Box, which is very reasonably priced and great for lunch."
"Amazing Korean food may not be something you’d expect to find in a traditional Irish pub, yet Kimchi Hophouse is not only Ireland’s oldest Korean restaurant but also arguably the best. Opened in 2005, this pub serves up a lunch menu featuring classic dishes like bulgogi, kimchi stew and spicy chilli pork for just €10 (£8.94), and the staff is happy to explain which dishes can accommodate vegetarians. For dinner, the Korean Tapas menu is brimming with reasonably priced delights such as pumpkin croquettes and deep-fried octopus."
"Average Spend: Lunch Mains €9 approx; Dinner Mains €13 approx. A shining star among the dozens of Asian restaurants that have opened on Parnell Street, Hop House combines a pub and restaurant to create a buzzing new venue that offers exceptional value. The dining room is airy and humming with the atmosphere radiating from the bar next door."

"Started off as one little place down an alleyway in Ranelagh but they have been on a massive expansion push lately with a bunch of new premises. If anything this shows just how popular sushi is becoming in Dublin."
"The restaurant first opened as a takeaway in Ranelagh in 2007 before growing in popularity and eventually establishing two other locations in Sandyford and Dun Laoghaire."

Locals have tipped this to be the best sushi in the capital city, so if you’re fond of the Eastern delicacy, this place will be your wonderland. Address: 1 Frenchman’s Ln, Mountjoy, Dublin"
"I'm sure you've eaten in one of the Yamamori branches at some point in your life but let me tell you a secret. The Yamamori Izakaya Sake Bar on George's Street is by far the best of all. They specialise in unfussy Japanese food."
"Everything about Yammers screams 'Instagram me". Dragon murals, enormous buddha statues, Japanese lanterns and more mouth-watering Japas than you can shake a chopstick at."

"Located in a former chemical factory turned bar in the city centre, but away from the tourist trail, BoCo offers some of the best pizza in Dublin. Not just any pizza, but wood-fired pizza with a light texture, that is crisp and chewy. There are around 15 different kinds of pizza to choose from with vegan and gluten-free options."
"With Ireland’s rich literary heritage visible across the city of Dublin, visitors can immerse themselves in the world of their fictional heroes and walk the same streets that their favourite characters and authors once knew. One particular highlight that every lover of literature will want to check out is the historic Georgian townhouse that was once the childhood home of the playwright, poet and novelist Oscar Wilde, famous for works such as The Importance of Being Earnest and The Picture of Dorian Gray. Visitors take a guided tour through elegantly-preserved rooms, including the Wildes’ dining room, sitting room, and Oscar Wilde’s father’s surgery."
"For hearty portions and low prices, you can’t beat this casual restaurant which specialises in big, bold French flavours (although it must be noted that this is a less authentic French experience when compared to other options our list). Le Bon Crubeen has the added benefit of being close to the Abbey Theatre, so makes the perfect pre-show spot to enjoy a bite to eat. While the atmosphere might be casual, that doesn’t mean there isn’t finesse here."
"Le Bon Crubeen on Talbot Street has one of the best-value menus in Dublin, considering the incredible standard of their food. Nicely decorated, we would definitely recommend this place to anyone who appreciates good food. REVIEW: An Anti-Trendy Haven Where The Plates Are Big And The Prices Are Small"
"It’s not hard to spot L'Gueuleton from a distance thanks to its signature striped awnings out the front. Once inside you’ll find a cosy convivial atmosphere, where menus are presented to you on communal blackboards for an authentic French feel. Dishes are split up into ‘petit plats’ and ‘grand plats’ with the former featuring things like steak tartare and moules mariniere, while the more substantial offering includes steak frites, seafood and plates of pasta."
"You can sit outside nursing a glass of wine in the sun and watching the hustle and bustle of Fade Street or tuck yourself away from the madness inside. The venue is huge with a homely, rustic feel to it - tables are lit by candle and 70s music played across the room. The food is surprisingly good, all with a French twist so if you're a fan of foie gras and onion soup this is the place for you."
"Housed in what looks like an old-fashioned butcher’s window, L’Gueuleton has the feel of up-style, comfortable French dining. With red brick walls, blackboard menus and dark, wooden furniture, there is a romantic atmosphere. The building and atmosphere exude rustic charm with industrial beams and copper ceiling."
"Plumping for a distinctly ‘more is more’ approached, this nick knack filled basement space is home to over 350 wines (with 40 of them available by the glass) and serves up a classic menu of French favourites. Moules, pates, escargot and more grace the starters section while mains are split into light meals – with the likes of cheese, charcuterie or seafood platters – and main courses which hero signature serves like duck confit or lamb Bordelaise. This is some seriously robust cooking."
"Undoubtedly one of Dublin's quirkiest restaurants, La Cave Wine Bar is a hidden haunt that houses over 350 wine bottles. Against a backdrop of lush red tones, you'll be able to make a dent in the extensive collection while expiring their menu of French-inspired dishes."
"La Cave Wine Bar is undoubtedly one of Dublin's quirkiest places to eat and drink in the city centre. Housing a wide range of bottles from across the globe, it perfectly pairs its signature sips with French-inspired cuisine befitting its vintage pink and red interiors."
"If you appreciate a good, strong cup of coffee, then you need to get yourself to One Society in Dublin. It has some of the nicest tasting coffee we’ve ever tried anywhere in Ireland, and we’ve tried a LOT of places. Not only are their drinks phenomenal, but their food is out-of-this-world grade, too."
"One Society cafe on Lower Gardiner Street is a “hidden” gem. If you’re looking for a cool coffee, breakfast, brunch, or lunch spot, check this place out. It’s a little bit out of the way to get to, but no more than a 5-10 minute walk from O’Connell bridge."
"Bombay Pantry is one of Dublin's longest standing takeaways but has managed to stay both current and dedicated to quality over its 15 years in the business. Starting as just one small shop in Glenageary that sought to provide top quality Indian food to go, Bombay Pantry now has 7 shops scattered across the city and seeks to maintain a high standard across them all. The handmade street food portions are particularly delicious and the meal for 2 is great value, with some street food dishes on offer as well as two curries, a naan and a portion of rice."
