On a fine sunny Sunday morning we booked at 10.00 for an 11.00a.m. table for three outside which was accepted. Good job too as we would never have got a table if we had arrived on spec. It was like being on holidays - a brief trip to cosmopolitan paris or something - except we were in Ringsend. W...

Best thing to come out of the Celtic Tiger era - I just love this landmark that will be here when all of us are gone - I suppose they gave out bout the Eifel Tower and the Statue of Liberty in their day - feic the begrudgers - we love the spire!! p.s. I told my kids it was a lilliput shopping cen...

Great chinese restaurant - take-away or sit down. I use it nearly exclusively for takeaway and it is really good - very reliable. The number 14 King Prawn with Ginger and Scallion is really nice

We are sooooooooo lucky to have Kanum in Rathgar. absolutely delicious. Ignored it for ages not really getting that we had a 'gem' on our doorstep - then ate a Kanum take-away in a friends house and was smitten. Prawns are delicious in the yellow curry

Sitting here with my family beside the best christmas tree I have got for years - purchased in Dunville hardware - it is a really nice hardware shop - service great - they can't do enough for you there

Went here for dinner after the rugby match with a crowd of around 12 - very welcoming and lovely food

Went here last night for a class reunion - 10 of us. Seriously good atmosphere - dimly lit - wine decanted - fabulous platters of food. You can choose just to drink or drink and eat from a really nice menu

Waited ages for an appointment for my daughter - but when I got there with her for her consultation and subsequent operation (2 weeks later) - all went very smoothly. They were so nice to her and very professional. She is 16 and the nurses and doctors were being so nice to her that I whispered to...

Went here for lunch with a friend mid week just after it had opened. Certainly was humming - with a real trendy crowd of mixed ages - 3 of the Irish Rugby team players right at the next table! Big communal wooden bench tables, with some smaller tables and a big sitting area with couches at the b...

A local worth going to - great smoking area and food nice enough but not for special occasion - great for an early quick dinner with friends - above all though it is a local institution - Rathgar = Comans.

This is my special treat when I go to Dundrum - papers to read and delicious bagel and americano lovely. Well worth a visit

My local chemist and very nice they are too! Staff are there for years and all know you and are very helpful and knowledgeable. Only think is that I'd like longer opening hours - have to go to the late night in Harolds Cross for anything after seven!

I love Marlowe cleaners and always get my dry cleaning done here - you leave it in on a saturday morning and it's ready by four that evening - quicker I'd say if you want it. Main thing I like though is the friendly service - same staff for yonks so they all know you and are very nice.

Great local shoe shop for childrens shoes and back to school - saves a trip into town. A no no really for fashion shoes so it's into town for those!!

A very nice local bank that has a country feel to it in that they cannot do enough for their customers even with all the crap that is going on in the banking sector - you kinda don't feel that they cause it all!!! The only time it gets bad is if you ring them and you get put through to the call c...

I know I know - it's all higglety pigglety inside but you really feel like you are in an italian deli and the food is absolutely delicious AND the service is second to none

This is a shoe shop and a jewellary/accessory shop and absolutely well worth the trip even to travel from afar. Whoever does the buying (probably emme!) is top class. There is not too much stock but I love nearly everything in it so it is perfect. The sales are really good value. I have a fabulou...

Have been going to Jim Hatton for the last twenty years and he is top class - have absolute trust in Jim and his excellent staff to do what they think best with my hair. Well worth a visit. All the staff are top class and the ambiance is A1

More than a newsagents - a gift shop, books, school books, toys, novelties and then news. A gem. I went here last year in a panic just before christmas and got loads of presents.

I work near here and lots of people love marios for lunch - but I just don't get it really - always left waiting and its not really that great food
