This is a great place for steaks - they're very good quality and come from FXBs own farm in Offaly; so are proper farm-to-table meats. They have all the normal cuts of beef along with the usual (steak) sauces as well as some great fresh fish to choose from. I went for the 10oz aged sirloin steak ...

Seems to be a popular place judging by the numbers - usually a good sign. The food we got was pretty mundane - the pizza I had (pepperoni) was a bit too covered in cheese for you to really taste anything else and the steak was nothing to write home about either. To their credit though, the portio...

I've had lunch and dinner here and on both occassions it was pretty packed - there were three of us for dinner and we were given the option of either waiting awhile for a small table or sharing a bigger table with other people - Waggamama-style. The food is awesome - had the lemon calamari with l...

Walked around Howth Head on Sunday. The weather was perfect, the walk was pretty straight-forward. Afterwards we stopped into Howth village for some ice-cream and a coffee. We saw Mauds and thought we'd give it a go. It's a simple place - not like the superslick coffee houses you'll find in the I...

This is a small cafe-restaurant type place with seating for about 25 or so. Had a big fry-up here this morning. Not bad value - €10 for a full breakfast (2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 eggs, 2 white pudding, hash browns & toast) including tea/coffee. Service was prompt and polite. There is an open kitchen...

The pumps here don't automatically stop pumping when your tank is full. Bring a big wallet - you might be paying for more than you had bargained for....

This is my local pizza take away. It does all sorts of food (Italian, Indian, Chinese & Thai) but I usually stick to the pizza. I tried a (medium - marked by two chillis on the menu) Thai curry from this place before but it nearly blew my head off. It tasted good but ended up just being hard work...

This is just down the road from my house, not the nearest place that does Chinese takeaway but the best. Because it’s a restaurant, I think the level of food produced from the kitchens is of a better standard than your ordinary counter takeaway. It’s a little pricier than the other local contende...

This seems like a pretty strange place to have a café of this size - in the middle of a retail park - but maybe that's just me. It always seems to be busy here with people stopping off for some food and their caffeine fix. It's got the usuals from the Costa range (I'm sure), so is what you'd expe...

This is a regular lunch time roll pickup-joint for me - they're usually pretty good. Quite big for a Centra; big enough to do your weekly shop I suspect, should you decide to treat yourself and spend that little bit more. One of these days the sandwich makers will give me a smile too. I'm sure of...

This is a good quality casual pizza (& pasta) joint that always seems to be able to accomodate walk-ins - I've never booked. They have a sister restaurant in Temple Bar and having eaten there too I have to say my experiences of both have been pretty similar, so they've got something right. Uncomp...

I've been playing here on Wednesday nights for the past 3 years. Pitches seem to be a good quality - less injuries here for some reason. The roof nets are higher than in loads of other places which means you can get some high ball action going on without loosing them to the ether. As UCD seems to...

Captain A's as it's known locally is a staple diet for the quick-burger-hunter in the city centre. This place offers decent food with some pretty decent turn-around times too. The burgers aren't the best you're ever going to have in your life but then again, the best are usually small, expensive ...

I used to go to Paul Gill when I was growing up. As I became responsible for my own finances (as a poorly student) the cost of Paul's boutique became a little too much for me. It then became a distant memory when I moved overseas for awhile. When I got back, the years of travelling had taken thei...

Was never really a 'Sunday Lunch' person growing-up - always had Sunday Dinner in my house. Have been here for a few Sunday Lunches now and have to say that if this is what it's all about, I've been missing out! There is a relatively small menu here on a Sunday so I have taken to starting with th...
