Eating out in Dublin

Dublin's restaurant scene is spread thin and wide. The centre has the headline rooms, but a lot of the best cooking happens in the villages: Ranelagh, Rathmines, Stoneybatter, Phibsborough, Blackrock and Dún Laoghaire each have a small cluster of independents that locals fill without any help from guides. This directory lists them by area so you can find what is actually near you.

How to use the listings

  • Area first. Pick the Dublin postal district or village, then narrow by the kind of food. The area pages also show cafés and pubs nearby.
  • Written up means checked. Where a place has a short description, we have looked at its own website and written the text ourselves. Entries without one come straight from map data and may have changed.
  • Book on the restaurant's own site. We link to the business, not to a booking middleman. Opening hours shown here are a guide; confirm before you travel.
