Buttermilk Chicken
S R.

While staying in The Liberties section of Dublin, we stumbled upon Copper Alley Bistro. We were pleasantly surprised by our experience. The restaurant is cute and the food was delicious. The prices were reasonable considering the portion size. We loved the Buttermilk chicken sandwich and the Korean chicken.

Best fish & chips I ever ever had
Liberty G.

Absolutely wonderful food matched by the beyond lovely staff. We had four delicious meals since we were staying at the attached Harding Hotel. Great friendly atmosphere, well lit dining area with beautiful stained glass and conveniently located across from Christ's Church. All the staff were so friendly, personable and extra sweet to my mom. They really made us feel welcome on our first night in Dublin. Dining as a family of five we each ordered a variety of food and shared amongst ourselves. Enjoyed were the full Irish and vegetarian breakfasts, beef Guinness stew (very rich), Irish smoked salmon with eggs, their signature omelette, homemade seafood chowder (perfection), brioche french toast, brown bread with butter, Irish soda bread (addictive), Korean chicken wings, and a variety of beers and cocktails. The stand out star by far was the fish & chips--large pieces, light & airy breading, no excess oil. Really the best I've ever eaten. I would say that the portions served of everything was very generous, so bring your appetite.

Full Irish breakfast yummy!
Liz M.

Did someone say full Irish breakfast? Yes please. My friend and I enjoyed this breakfast so much. It hit the spot! Food was fresh, well seasoned, great portion sizes. Cute decor and great customer service. They have other items on the menu but you can't go wrong with the full Irish breakfast. It was delicious and I'll definitely come back here if I'm back in Dublin.

Fish and chips
Ann L.

We had a great lunch here on a rainy afternoon. I had the seafood chowder and it was wonderful. It featured a huge portion of mussels along with salmon, prawns, and other fish (I think maybe haddock). Everything was flavorful and fresh and the broth was excellent. The chowder came with fresh bread and butter. This plus a pot of tea was a great way to warm up before heading back out for more sightseeing. Others in my group had the stew and fish and chips; they greatly enjoyed their meals as well. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxed with lovely decor.

We had breakfast here & the food was fantastic! I had the french toast & my husband had eggs, bacon, tomato, & mushrooms. Everything was delicious & the staff was so friendly!

Beef stew
Maurice L.

Popped in for a bite to eat. The resultant was clean, the staff was pleasant and very attentive. I was seated right away. I had the beef stew and I was absolutely delicious!! The chocolate eclair was just ok but the ice cream that came with is was amazing.

Chicken sandwich with chips
Kyllie S.

Great food... cute little spot to sit and watch the busy streets of Dublin. Service was quick and attentive. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend stopping here especially after visiting the Dublin castle.

Darkey Kelly's wouldn't seat is with a child so they sent us next door and we were not disappointed. For our first real meal in Ireland this set a great tone! Everything was amazing, especially the desert. The portions were huge and the service was great.

Don't make the same mistake as us and not make a reservation, we got VERY lucky we were staying at…read morea nice hotel next door that could get us in because HOLY COW. This might be one of my favorite meals of all my travels. We were immediately seated and taken care of in a small cove. It was very secluded and quiet for a nice date night. The service was on top of it, someone at the table every few minutes. It's definitely an experience. They have some phenomenal wine options by the glass or bottle. We started with the avocado ponzu which omg really set the stage, it had perfect flavors. My fiancé got the duck, which was so tender and flavorful and the pepper sauce (mousse?) was to die for. I got the potato dumplings on the vegetarian menu and they had chunks of perfectly cooked morels! The sauce and the flavors were so delicately paired and showed the no brainer of why this spot is recognized my Michelin. We also got the side of carrots and the aroncini, both super tasty. It was a wonderful meal, definitely an experience. I was impressed with the prices, I expected much more expensive for a place of this type, but it's very fair and makes it attainable for almost anyone to splurge on a delicious meal. 1000000/10 probably one of the best restaurants I've eaten at, highly recommend.

We shared the lamb rack, where the meat was very tender. The portion was great for sharing between two, as we also had some cabbage and chorizo as sides. The bread and butter were fresh, but nothing special. Overall, the service was attentive, and we enjoyed our meal very much.

We read through many reviews to find just the right place to have dinner our last night in Dublin,…read moreand Bloom Brasserie turned out to be the perfect choice. As James Joyce fans we loved the name as well. An atmospheric space with stone walls, dimly lit with real candles, Bloom is beautiful without being pretentious. Warm welcoming service by Paraic and Breege throughout the evening. First we sampled their homemade brown bread, absolutely divine. We both started with foie gras and toast which was smooth, creamy and utterly yum. My local duck breast with spinach and potato main was very flavorful and a generous portion. Partner's mushroom risotto was a bit cheesier than he generally prefers but he said it was still very good. We were too full for dessert but were comped shots of Bailey's Irish Cream, a perfect ending. Paraic even called a taxi for us afterward, such a lovely gesture. We'll definitely return to Bloom Brasserie next time we're in Dublin, and recommend them highly.

We looked on another service for restaurant reviews and found it had a relatively low rating. Our taxi driver recommended FIRE highly so we gave it a try. Service was impeccable and the ambiance in the large dining room was very comfortable. Despite being a large space it wasn't too noisy. We enjoyed a cocktail then oysters on the half shell, onion soup to start. For the main meal we opted for a shared plate. Bone in ribeye, or boeuf entrecôte, accompanied by a Caesar salad and boiled potatoes was cooked perfectly wand was just the right choice for us. A Bordeaux blend rounded out and completed the meal. Don't always believe the online ratings but do listen to the taxi drivers.

I would NOT recommend Fire Steakhouse. Just. Not. Good…read more First off, we politely asked for some ice for our water but over time needed to ask three different people before some arrived. And it was a very early seating...almost empty! This is a steak house. The sirloin was just...okay. Barely. And although cooked correctly had a questionable smell to it. It looked kind of sad, and although some fat expected, it had a big hunk of gristle as well. The veggie option was sub-par...a very bland cauliflower steak. No flavor. It came attractively with a pile of onion curls atop, but unfortunately they had a fridge taste to them. The dessert was nothing special...in a town loaded with bakeries! On the plus side, the room was quite attractive as was the Mansion House facade upon entering. The staff was very solicitous and polite, except for that ice issue. We had had over a week of Dublin meals and Fire was the only one disappointing to such an extent. And especially so because this fantastic city had so many places to choose from. Was the chef sick? Was it because it was a Monday? By chance we ate at Sole, its sister restaurant the following night, and it was a world of difference. Better in every way. Try that one.

Just over the Sean O'Casey bridge and right in the heart of uber-sleek IFSC shopping district, this is the kind of restaurant I wouldn't mind making a habit of. Our table was in the rooms under the main restaurant, enjoying a full view of the massive wine vault (glass fronted for maximum drooling) and stand-and-your-there bar access. The restaurant was buzzing that night but we could have been the only table there. The staff were, as to be expected, experienced professionals - suggesting wine / food combinations with practised calm. After a starter of oysters I opted for steak (done rare, pinking my mash so deliciously) and a good glass of red. If my little notebook could fit in my fashionably slim clutch, I could report on the name and pedigree of the selection. Suffice to say, it was tasty! Finishing off with espressos and a chocolate marquis, we raised our glasses, toasted the evening and wondered how to finagle another visit.
