You know that growl in your stomach, but it’s not ordinary hunger? It’s that low, primal hunger for a feast. That’s where the magic of “all you can eat” kicks in for me. It’s not so much about quantity; it’s about the sheer joy of walking into a room of possibility, where every plate is a new adventure waiting to be explored.
There is no end to the thrill of being offered a dozen or more options, from sumptuous meats carved right at your table to vibrant salad bars replete with flavors you would not have imagined otherwise. I’ve been on a quest to discover the very best of what all you can eat Dublin has to offer, seeking out the places that do more than fill your belly.
In fact, I’d say get ready for a genuinely unforgettable dining experience. Because at the end of the day, a great meal is about more than food; it’s about the people you’re with and the memories you’re making. So… why the wait then? Let’s dive in, ya?
BAH33º The Authentic Gaucho BBQ
For everything you can eat, Dublin must accommodate. BAH33º on Dawson Street is never anything but a wonderful choice. Crammed with a fine 4.6-star rating on Google (2,265+ reviews) and a 4.1 on TripAdvisor (126+ reviews), this restaurant is perfect for any occasion, whether it is a speedy lunch meal with friends or a birthday party.
I have visited here approximately seven times, and I never fail to be impressed. The restaurant has seen some recent renovation and expansion, and it was pleasant to visit the new areas, which give the restaurant that new, high-end feel. The service at this place is always excellent. On my previous two visits, our server, Bruno, was just great, so extremely attentive and pleasant.
He was very quick with our orders and never missed saying hello to us with a lovely smile to make sure we were happy with everything. He certainly improved our dining experience every time. We had the all-you-can-eat BBQ, and it was great. It’s a true rodizio experience, where you get an enormous salad bar with all the fixings you can imagine.
And then the servers come by with plates of maybe ten different cuts of perfectly grilled Irish meat, slicing it right onto your plate. You can linger for two hours or so, so you can really “meat up” and go away full to bursting! My one thing is that I wish there were a few more choices of potatoes at the salad bar, but I guess that’s not the protein thing.
While the a la carte choice is a nice idea, I believe the all-you-can-eat is a much better value and great for an evening out. The meal was great, the service was great, and it was a great experience. Even the Gin Slim mocktail was excellent. I will be back. You can book a table by calling 015327975 or by emailing contact@bah33.ie.
Mongolian Barbeque
This place is very different. You have to try it out. Mongolian Barbeque is down Anglesea Street. In the heart of Temple Bar, it is a different experience altogether. It has a great Google rating, 4.5 stars. Over 3,230 reviews. TripAdvisor score is 4.3. 1,179 reviews. Great all-you-can-eat option, one of the best in Dublin.
The space is a little tight, and it can feel tight during busier times. The staff was wonderfully accommodating to walk-ins. The atmosphere had a positive vibe. The experience was conceptually really fun. The staff was wonderful and extremely friendly. Everyone was very welcoming and engaged with us.
The chefs appeared to be a little stressed, but I understand. Like every restaurant, it has to be really hot back there. The service was a little unorthodox for this area, but overall, a decent experience. The main bargain is a large bowl. I would describe the food itself as very adequately priced.
First, you pick your fresh ingredients, which include all kinds of vegetables and assorted meats. Then you give those ingredients to the chefs who cook everything right in front of your eyes. I can say all the bowls tasted delicious. They also gave us free steamed rice. The idea of being all-you-can-eat is a definite value & the best time to participate in this concept is at dinner.
Just a little heads up for allergies, they use all the same equipment, so I recommend letting the chef know your dietary restrictions if you’re not too sure. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. It was a fun night out, especially if you are visiting with groups of friends or even on a date!
It is a fun and unique experience that is a great meal overall. You won’t regret going. If you want to plan ahead, you can even book a table in advance by calling 016704154 or emailing bookings@mongolianbbq.ie.
Wasabi Bar & Grill
I recently had a fantastic experience at Wasabi Bar & Grill in Dublin 1, located on Dorset Street. This is the place to go, especially for All You Can Eat in Dublin, which is ranked very highly—4.1 on Google and 3.6 on TripAdvisor.
The restaurant has a very large seating area, beautifully decorated and furnished. Basically, my experience was perfect as we were the only people at the restaurant that evening. I found the space to be relaxing, and I enjoyed the service; our waiter was very professional, attentive, and explained everything to us and ensured we were satisfied.
The food was incredible. We ordered from the all-you-can-eat sushi menu, and the sushi was again soaked in very fresh produce. Each piece of sushi was delicious and rich in flavour. Also, the starters we ordered were delicious; the dumplings and gyozas were the stars of the experience.
There was a very wide range of sushi on the menu; I would say there are at least 70 different sushi options available, including hossomaki, uromaki, sashimi, and nigiri. We also ordered the temaki and the Joe options, which had a few standard sushi menu offerings combined with the Brazilian sushi items. For the price of food, you receive this is the best value you will find in Dublin.
The staff were absolutely wonderful. Marcos and Fabiano made us feel welcome. Marina helped us a ton – she got us the best rolls. Flavia was attentive. Her recommendations were great. The server was super fast. It was friendly service, too. I can’t wait to come back. I’m excited to try the BBQ boat! I highly recommend this place. Oh yeah, you can call them to book ahead by calling 35312238272.
Wing’s World Cuisine
I have been to so many “all you can eat” buffets in Ireland, from Dublin to Limerick and beyond. But trust me, Wing’s World Cuisine is the absolute best of all. Located right on 32 Wolfe Tone Street, it has a decent 4.0-star rating on Google (3,604+ reviews) and is a must-visit for whoever is looking for the best all-you-can-eat Dublin has to offer.
When they say “world cuisine,” they are not joking. They’ve got everything from Chinese, Thai, and Indian to Greek, Japanese, and Italian cuisine. The variety is just crazy, and the food is such high quality. They’ve got everything from sushi and pizza to onion rings and pasta. They even have so many vegan dishes, which is such a plus. You will not be disappointed with the food!
The staff is also very friendly and attentive, even though the restaurant is always very busy. Ryan, our server, was amazing. He was so attentive and helped us with everything. And the desserts are on a completely different level! They have everything from desserts and cakes to a chocolate fondue and fried ice cream.
This is a great food experience that you really need to try. Just make sure that you go there with an empty stomach because you will be leaving full! I’ll definitely be back. You can book a table by phoning them on +35315377788 or emailing info@wingsworldcuisine.ie.
COSMO All You Can Eat World Buffet Restaurant
I’m always on the lookout for a fantastic buffet, and this restaurant will blow you away completely. COSMO at the Liffey Valley Shopping Centre is a modern chain with a fantastic 4.2-star rating on Google (5,329+ ratings) and a 3.9 on TripAdvisor (565+ ratings). It’s an excellent choice for anyone who desires the best all-you-can-eat in Dublin.
The food court is itself amazing, featuring cuisine from every corner of the globe. They’ve got your run-of-the-mill and not-so-run-of-the-mill fare, from Korean and Chinese to Indian and Continental. You can actually choose raw fish and beef and have them grilled to your desire, which is a welcome point. All the foods I had ordered were well-cooked and not salty, an aspect that I’ve experienced in other restaurants. They serve plates that are also sufficient in size so that you don’t overeat.
The place has a lively atmosphere with a very large dining area and is spotless in cleanliness. The attendants are pleasant and attentive, making it a good experience. The only watch out is that the restaurant does get rather busy at times, so going early is advisable. They also impose a one-hour-and-thirty-minute time limit, which will not suffice for all slow eaters but is adequate for most. The Liffey Valley Shopping Centre also includes a huge car park, which is very convenient.
It was my first visit ever, so I could not try everything that was on their very long list of dishes on the menu, but whatever I did order was great. The free water is a bonus. I will definitely go back to try the rest of the food and try the ice cream! You can make a reservation by calling them at +35319061111.
So The Final Piece of The Pie Is
The quest for the best all-you-can-eat Dublin has to offer is a delicious one. With the classic churrasco at BAH33º to the huge world foods at COSMO, the city has its fair share of great spots to explore. Every one of them is an excellent experience, whether you are celebrating a special event or simply having a beautiful meal. My recommendation? Don’t be afraid to go to all of them. Each of them has a memory worth the visit. and for more Dublin restaurants info check out at a glance the Dublinz’s Facebook and Instagram page!
