Top Mediterranean restaurants in Dublin 2, Ireland

One of the best places in Dublin to have dinner with your team. The food was delicious and had plenty of vegan options even in desserts. I ordered a pizza, red sauce penne pasta and in dessert a vegan lemon tart. The service and hospitality was one of the outstanding features of this restaurant. They made sure we had everything we needed on the table and service was quick. Full marks to the staff. The toilet was a bit squeezed up and untidy. That is something which they can improve. But overall a great experience l.

Delicious vegan pasta, the primavera was especially tasty! Vegan garlic bread was actually a pizza which was creamy and garlicy

Was here for a Christmas Dinner with my team. My food was pretty good, but just as a matter of preference, my steak just didn't hit the spot. It was still good though. Service was decent. I know others in the team felt their meals could have been better, but overall it was a nice experience

Fast, affordable, and healthy options! It was very busy when we went, but luckily we got some side tables. The service was very fast, like fast food resto.

The vegan Cig Kofte was amazing. It came with salad. Highly recommend

Best Turkish food in Dublin. Had the mixed doner and it was superb. Reyna is always very busy and seating is limited. Service was quick and polite.

Little gem of a restaurant in Temple Bar. Nduja croquettes for starter are delicious. I had the prawn spaghetti for mains and it was very tasty plus portions are large. Only issue was the service was very slow, 1 hour to get our starter but it was a Saturday night and the week before Christmas so it was extremely busy so I can forgive them that. Will definitely be back and a place I would highly recommend.

A small funky little Turkish restaurant in the heart of Dublin. Reasonably priced with fast service and very busy.

I ordered Dolmades as a side (probably the best Dolmades I’ve ate apart from my grandads) and Mixed Shish as a main, both were amazing!

The lentil soup looked stunning so I’d recommend that to anyone who knows about it!

This is THE best and most authentic Turkish food you can find in Ireland. Also everything is super tidy and clean - food exceptional. I whish I could rate this 10/5.

They have a gyro meat carving machine and it's so interesting to watch. Also the food was amazing. Ayran was interesting but definitely an acquired taste, also looked like there was tea of some description that I missed out on. Would definitely return if I lived nearby

OMG. Where do I even start… the ambiance in the bottom cavern is so intimate and such a great spot for a date. Right in the heart of the Temple bar district without feeling dirty or crowded. The food was absolutely amazing! We originally came for just a glass of wine and ended up staying for a bottle, appetizers, dinner and dessert to go! Highly recommend! 5 stars

Loved the food! Also the service was great :) Really nice place, highly recommend. Definitely will visit again soon

Great food and experience! We split a BBQ platter for two. Good portion size and service. Food was flavorful and fresh.

This is positively the best kebab/donair place I’ve ever been to. It’s authentic, very reasonably priced, and prepared with speed. The only downside is the dining area is quite small and always packed (for obvious reasons😋) so it can be frustrating trying to find a seat

Amazingly fresh and legit Turkish kebabs. Lamb and chicken on the döner rotisserie. Kebabs cooked on the charcoal grill and yufka / pita fresh in the tandir clay oven.

Better than what you find in Istanbul. Have tried the lamb, mixed lamb and chicken, and the köfte. Yea, it was that good!

Highly recommended!

We are staying 2 min away from this place in Dublin and wanted to try something different than the Irish food. The place was busy so that immediately a great sign! We decided to order take away since we were staying close by. The have a clay oven where they make fresh bread and next to it charcoal grill where all the kabob action are happening. The experience from start to finish was delightful. We ordered a combination platter and a shawarma mixed plate with 2 Ayran! Amazing taste and portions were really good. I think we’ll definitely stop by again before we leave town.

Really enjoyed the food here. Lovely people and massive portions. I thought I was ordering a sampler platter for 1 and it was 3 giant plates of food. So delicious, though!

I had a wonderful experience at this cozy restaurant. The staff was friendly and attentive, the food was delicious and authentic, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We started with garlic bread and goat cheese and we never could imagine something that good. I ordered the tortellini and she had the risotto, our best experience with Italian food. The portions were generous and the prices were reasonable, but the space in the basement makes all the difference. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy Italian restaurant. I dare to say this was the best gastronomic experience we had.

From ambience, service and food everything were spot on. This is such a humble restaurant at the heart of portobello. We tried the Hummus, falafel and halloumi grilled starters- tasted amazing. I’ve been to other Lebanese/Mediterranean restaurants and the hummus and falafel tastes different from other places but good different in terms of taste. Aubergine mousakka was soothing , I had the dish by itself (rice is undercooked for my liking, probably that’s how it’s cooked traditionally-no problem) Chicken Shish it was juicy and succulent!! All of the salads and pickles were delicious too.

Delicious food and friendly staff, I really enjoyed the quiet atmosphere.

I came here with my friends and had an amazing experience! Loved the decor, the food was delish and the service was top notch. We also had the hookah and everything reminded me of the middle east where I grew up. The desserts were the best, I'd die for the kunafeh. Must visit for a good meal!!

The food at this establishment was undeniably delicious, satisfying my cravings for authentic Italian cuisine. The dishes were expertly prepared, showcasing the flavors and techniques that make Italian food so beloved.

The atmosphere of the restaurant added to the enjoyment of the meal. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with cozy lighting and tasteful decor that evoked a sense of Italy. It created a relaxing environment to enjoy the culinary delights on offer.

However, there were a few aspects that prevented me from fully immersing myself in an Italian dining experience. Firstly, I couldn't help but notice that the waitresses were not Italian. While their service was professional and friendly, I couldn't help but miss the unique charm and cultural authenticity that Italian waitstaff often bring to the table.

Furthermore, I found it disappointing that a simple tradition such as serving water with espresso was absent. This attention to detail is a characteristic feature of Italian dining, and its absence was noticeable. Additionally, some of the menu items were not pronounced correctly, most notably the bruschetta. It would have been wonderful to hear the authentic pronunciation of this classic dish

I had a great experience in Rotana Cafe. I went there for dinner with my boyfriend and we loved our food. It was a different experience as I am quite new to Lebanese cosine, but for sure I will be back!
There is also a plate with many "starters" that you have the chance to experiment everything almost.. really good!

Very welcoming Staff, good atmosphere.Our starter was bruschetta and was delicious, for main course we ordered Italian risotto what as pretty good and Carbonara I've to say that the carbonara wasn't good, It didn't tasty like a carbonara but I have to say the size of the portions was good and the Wine was good too.

Very good place. Can be a little bit pricey for some dishes (small portions) but very tasty. Loved the mixed grill, the falafel full of flavor and yummy hummus and the halloumi bread. You can bring your own wine too. Friendly staff too.
