The curries were proper good, and they didn&#39;t rush us even though we showed up near closing. Solid spot for Indian in Dublin.

Stopped in for a quick bite and a pint. Place is packed with old photos and relics, proper historic feel. Had the stew&mdash;tasty enough, though a bit salty for me. Service was fast, which I appreciated. Worth a look if you&#39;re passing through and want something quick.

No. 6 of Bars in Dublin

Stopped in for breakfast last week. That fire they have going makes the whole place feel cosy, proper old-school interior. Had the avocado toast and a coffee, both were spot on. My mate got the full Irish though and honestly it was massive, could barely finish it. Only thing is it gets busy quick, so grab a seat early.

The owner&#39;s a proper character&mdash;always up for a chat and full of local tips. Last time he even brought a lamp over so I could read my book. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Been coming here for a while now, and the deep fried haddock keeps me coming back. Cooked just right every single time, lovely crispy batter. Kayleigh was on form again, quick and friendly. Dessert was a bit meh this visit, but honestly, I&#39;m here for the fish. That&#39;s the main thing.

Decent spot not far from Temple Bar. Did the early bird menu, two courses, and honestly the portions were generous enough. Chicken wings were the standout. Pints are a bit pricey, but you&#39;d expect that around here. Booking ahead is probably wise, it got busy quick. Fine for a casual bite.

I absolutely loved the afternoon tea at The Atrium. The selection of teas was impressive, and the service was friendly and attentive. A perfect place to relax and enjoy a lovely meal.

Restaurant in The College Green Hotel Dublin, Autograph Collection

Nice spot for a drink, no doubt. Cocktails were solid but service was all over the place on a busy night. Took forever to get the bill sorted.

Pasta was fresh, no complaints there. Staff were sound, didn&#39;t rush us at all. Place is small and quiet, easy to have a proper chat. Got the tagliatelle, decent portion for the price. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Popped in after shopping for a bite. Place still has that cosy, bit cluttered feel to it, which I like. Had the beef stew, it was proper hearty. Guinness was good too, exactly what you&#39;d want. Service was grand, no complaints. Maybe a bit dear for what it is, but you&#39;re paying for the spot. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area.

The cod was spot on. Crispy batter, flaky inside. Big portion too, could easily share. Bit pricey for what you get though.

The Dubai Style Iced Chocolate was a solid new find &mdash; rich without being too sweet. They threw in a free chocolate to sample too, which was a nice touch.

Been coming here for a while now, and the Irish whisky sour still gets me every time. Proper balance, not too sweet. Finished with the cr&egrave;me br&ucirc;l&eacute;e again tonight&mdash;that crack on top is exactly how it should be. Place stays consistent, which is more than I can say for most spots around town.

Solid Italian grub, service was quick and on it. Just wish they had more wines by the glass, that&#39;s my only gripe.

The battered cod was pretty good&mdash;as good as any I&#39;ve had back home. Hake was a bit bland, but stick with the classic and you&#39;re sorted.

The daily special pasta was proper good &mdash; tasted like something you&#39;d actually get in Italy. Coffee was spot on as well. Nice spot for a quick lunch.

Stopped in again for the Hendricks High Tea&mdash;still as good as the first time. Huge gin selection and the staff actually know their stuff. The sharing teapot is a nice touch.

The pulled ham was lovely and tender, poached eggs done just right. Staff were genuinely friendly too. Only thing is the place got a bit busy but that&#39;s a good sign I suppose.

Lively spot, staff were dead sound. Sunday roast did the job but &euro;30 feels steep for what you get. Fair enough for a one-off though.

Ended up coming back twice on our trip &mdash; nothing else in Dublin came close. The food was unreal, and the staff were just as good.
