The food here is excellent, really tasty and leaves you feeling great afterwards. It's a bit pricey (€15 for a meal and a drink) but I can't fault them for it as the place was full or people.

I bought a laptop here last weekend, and got 10% off!

It's a nice store, very similar to Apple's own stores. The staff were friendly and helpful. As well as the apple hardware there is a load of third party peripheral stuff like video cables and headphones.

Starbucks coffee is normally bland but drinkable. Not so in the airport. I had a scalded cappucino that tasted like water, with over an inch of thick foam on top of it. To make matters worse they only use disposable cups. I won't be returning.

Great food and service in very cool surroundings. The thing that stood out for me was the chocolate souffle - probably the best I've ever had!

Campo remains my favourite restaurant in Bray. The food is delicious and the service friendly.

However, I ordered four take away pizzas last night, and when I opened up the boxes at home I discovered that they were severely under cooked. On all four pizzas the dough was soft and wet in places,...

This used to be my favourite cafe in Bray. The staff have changed though, and the standard of coffee has really dropped. Every espresso and cappucino I have had in the last 6 months has been really watery, and the ground coffee was much coarser than what I used to get. I will be taking my busines...

I'm giving these guys two stars instead of one because they were friendly. In every other respect I found them unhelpful.

We paid Surf Berbere to organise accomodation and get a rental car for us. The accomodation was awful (see my review of the stonehouse apartments), and, after making us wai...

I stayed here for a week, and it was awful. We booked through Surf Berber, and they either didn't know, or didn't care about the standard of accommodation that we were stuck in.

Here follows an unordered list of some of the problems we had with this place.

The apartment was not cleaned to w...

Best coffee in Taghazout. Everywhere else makes only nasty Cafe au Lait, which is just milk and instant coffee. Failte has a big Rancilio machine, and they know how to use it! They also make tasty sandwiches, cookies, and packed lunches if you need something to take on the road.

I ate here a bunch of times while I was staying in Taghazout. The food is tasty and cheap and the restaurant is clean. They also have free Wifi, which is nice.

An old style bar with good Guinness. It's full of medics, so if you get in to a fight then at least you can get patched up by a hot doctor.

I got a hot chocolate here last weekend and it was very nice. The staff seemed friendly and the place was clean.

My favourite cinema! They have couches and comfortable chairs, and serve home made food in the intermission. The chocolate chip cookies are awesome.

The picture quality isn't as good as at most cinema chains in Europe but I still prefer this place!

Having only been on small rinks before I was impressed by how large this one is. The sheer size of the place, coupled with the fact that there were only 2 of us on the ice at the time made it really good fun! We went during school hours on a weekday, which seemed to be a good time.

I have only eaten here once, I had the antipasti platter and a pizza - both were delicious. The service was friendly and efficient. The pizzas are around €13 though, which I think is slightly too expensive.

I really like like the starters here, particularly the bruschetta with tomatoes, mozarella and parma ham. The simple pasta dishes are also really nice, but any time I have had fish it has been way overcooked, which was disappointing. This, combined with the extremely close seating arrangement mea...

Background: I skied here for 2 months back in 2005, so things may have changed since I was last there.

It has a very good lift system, and better snow making facilities than most ski hills in NZ (apparently paid for by the Austrian national team who train here during the off season).

The sk...

By far the most fun (and challenging) dry slope I have ever skied on. The steep section can be quite intimidating, as it is long and a lot more bumpy than most plastic slopes.

The jump run is made of a special surface which softens landings and crashes, and has different size kickers, so you c...

I don't like this Taxi Rank, and I have never actually seen a Taxi in it.

Up until recently this was a loading bay (check the satellite imagery!). When it was a loading bay, cinema goers could park in it after business hours with no problems.

I went to the cinema a few weeks ago, it was dar...

The only Apple store on the island is 140km from me... This is probably a good thing, as if it were much closer I would almost certainly have less money in my bank account!

As the prices are in sterling, it is generally cheaper to buy stuff from here than on the apple.ie store.

I went in to this store today hoping to get a 32gig iPhone. They had sold out (which isn't a problem), but what was really annoying for me is that I had to queue for ages to find this out!

There was no employee (or even a sign!) stating their iPhone stock to the queuing people. This would have...

I had great times here when I was a kid, doing sailing courses in the summer. 'The George' has an old-world feel to it, which may be due to the fact that it is very old. I always preferred it to the Irish, but in recent times the Irish has caught up a bit due to it's proximity to the new marina.

Great place for a swim on a summer evening. The water is nice and deep when the tide is in.

I started eating in Bits & Pizzas maybe twenty years ago. While the starters are nice (my favourites are the garlic mushrooms and caesar salad), the pizzas are the reason I come back, they are excellent, reasonably priced, and can also be ordered to take out. I hope that I'll still be coming back...

I have been here a few times, it seems to be a house that was converted to a bar, with a fairly minimal amount of extraneous features. I like that! They have Paulaner on tap, and the couches look pretty comfortable too (although I haven't sat on them)

I have eaten here a few times, the burgers are good, and the service is always friendly.

All of the shelters, as well as the main part of the station were 'closed for repair' the last time I was there. This meant there was nowhere to shelter from the rain. Boo.

Sheehans is my favourite bar in Blackrock. There is a lot of seating, the food is good and the staff are friendly.

I was here last weekend for the first time and I really liked it. I don't know too much about gardens, but there were loads of nice plants, and the small suspension bridges over the river were cool.

I ate here last night, and was very impressed. All three courses were very good, and the service was faultless.

I had a really nice main dish which consisted of pork belly, fillet of pork, and a sausage. After eating the sausage and pork belly, I discovered that the fillet was a bit pink for m...

I was surprised to find such a good restaurant in a ski town. The food, wine, and service were all excellent.

My favourite dish was the pea and mint soup with a lamb fillet. My girlfriend had the Wiener schnitzl, which was nice, but no more so than in any good Austrian restaurant. For this rea...

Quality Fajitas,
friendly staff,
Is this a haiku?

Probably the best Tesco I have been to. This one is large and has a good selection of almost everything (except for fish!). It is also open 24 hours a day.

I was here on Saturday night, and I liked it (after I got over the initial shock at the price of a pint of Guinness - €5.50 !).

The cocktail menu is quite impressive I can vouch for the Mojitos :) The smoking area is nice, and as a non-smoker I was happy to spend the evening in it.

I recently moved out, and now have to buy all my own food. I went shopping here last weekend, and learned a lot. Lidl is great for some things like pasta (except for the tortellini - which are awful!), fruit and veg, and fruit juices.

From what I have seen of the meat, I am not too impressed. ...

My favourite pizzeria! The first thing I noticed on arriving here was that the majority of customers were Italian. The service is very efficient, with delicious pizzas usually taking 5 minutes to arrive.

I have been eating here most days for the past six months, and I really like it. The sandwiches are great, and the people making them are friendly - which really makes a difference.

I had never been to an IKEA before yesterday, and I didn't really know what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised.

There is a lot of really nice stuff here. I hadn't intended to buy anything but I walked out with a load of plates, cutlery, glasses, wine rack... The whole lot ended up cost...

I was unfortunate enough to need medical attention while on holiday here last week. Luckily for me though, this hospital is great! Although I was not a priority patient (I had food poisoning, and there were many trauma patients) I saw a doctor within 15 minutes of entering the premises.

This i...

I like all the LÉON cafes but this one is my favourite as you can get a proper sit down meal as well as the coffee and pastries.

The food is excellent, I have had a few pancake breakfasts, and, more recently an omelette for lunch which was delicious.

I don't really have a bad word to say ab...

I ate here last night, and was quite disappointed as I was expecting this place to be great after hearing a few people sing it's praises.

It took 15 minutes for us to get to order, then a further 40 minutes of waiting before we got our burger and chips. This is WAY longer than I'm prepared to ...

There is LOTS of nice gear in here, quite pricey though!

I can't get enough of the ribs (which only come as a starter). I had them this evening and want more already! Service is very efficient and there's usually no problem getting a table as there is a lot more space here than in l'Officina next door.

This is my M&S of choice these days, as it's open till at least 9 o'clock every night, as opposed to the one in Blackrock which closes around 630-7. The handiest place to park is the bottom level of the red car-park, from here you can walk straight into the shop.

This is a cool shop, they have loads of physio + training equipment. I bought swiss-balls and balance pads a few years ago and they were very good quality.

Donald Brookes has been my doctor ever since I was a kid. He's a really nice guy and a great GP.

I went to school here from 1983-86, and have many fond memories (except of my first day - where I cried like a baby!). I was happy to see that Olivia Dunne is still in charge, and that the school is thriving.

I don't like this gym, but I still go to it as it is the closest West Wood to my house. Most of the floors are carpeted, which makes the place smell of stale sweat. The opening hours listed on the website are also misleading - the actual gym closes half an hour before the listed closing times (23...

I hadn't had Teppanyaki until I ate here last night. It was pretty cool! The chefs cook the food right in front of you, and they do all sorts of tricks - throwing their cooking utensils (and occasionally the food) about with great skill. The food is simple, and delicious - I had a fillet steak.

Quality Burgers, the onion rings and chips were also very good. I'll be going back.

I hadn't been here for a few years, but I had pints and dinner here last Friday and it was great! I had a burger, which was really good, and many pints of Paulaner. Having lounge staff makes the whole thing more relaxing, and I was pleased to see that they are just as attractive as I had remembered.

I went clay pigeon shooting here last weekend, and it was a LOT of fun! Having never been shooting before, I didn't really know what to expect. The instructor was great, he taught us how to shoot a bunch of different 'pigeon flight paths', and the five of us learners had a competition, which I di...

Open and spacious, with a nice outdoor section which is sheltered from the rain. They have great cocktails here. In my experience it is best to stick to the menu though, and not drink any of the bar staff's own creations!

The Great Outdoors have a lot of great equipment, but the reason I like them so much is that they hire people who are actually experts on the particular sports that they are going to be working in. This is a refreshing change from some of the bigger chains which are now opening stores here - wher...

It is unfortunate that there are no public hospitals in Ireland that can provide as good an experience as this place. It is clean and spacious, the staff all seem happy, and any treatment I and my family have had, has been excellent.

I have been here quite a lot, and have always been well looked after. My only complaint is that it could do with a serious renovation, the layout is enough to confuse this engineer...

The cod and chips here is amazing

I haven't had any fish from here, but the chips are pretty good.

My favourite Italian restaurant. The staff are laid back (and actually Italian), the food is really good and inexpensive, and they even do takeaway pizza!

My favourite dish is the Gnocchi with Gorgonzola and Walnuts, but pretty much anything here is good.

I used to eat here almost every day for a period of about two months. The sandwiches were great (I particularly like the 'Bacon Whoopie') and the coffee was pretty good for a large chain.

Unfortunately, the last four times in a row that I ate here were awful! Every time I got a toasted sandwic...

I used to eat here every day, it's definitely my favourite sandwich shop in the city. They always have a lot of good ingredients, so you can build your own sandwich if the large menu doesn't have one that you want.

Tasty food, served very quickly.

I have had nothing but good experiences at Surfdock. They have a large range of wetsuits and kitesurfing equipment, and the staff know what they are talking about.

I was here a few weeks ago looking for a steering wheel for my Play Station. It was a Saturday afternoon, and the place was busy, so maybe my experience isn't typical. It took me about 15 minutes to even talk to a salesman, who couldn't find me a steering wheel despite the fact that they had some...

We had reason to drop off an abandoned dog here today. I was very apprehensive about it, but after looking around and talking to the staff about how the animals are treated, I have to say I am a lot happier.

I was expecting the DSPCA to be a very sad place, full of unfortunate animals who woul...

I ate here in 2005, and it is without doubt the finest burger joint I have ever been to. I had the 'Little Lamby', 'Cockadoodle Oink', and the 'Big Al', all of which were excellent and outrageously good value (when converted to Euro!)

I was slightly disappointed by the quality of the food here. It is more expensive than the Jaipur restaurants (Eur 100 for two), but I actually prefer the food in Jaipur. I had scallops to start with - which were slightly overdone, and braised lamb shank for main - which probably wasn't cooked qu...

This is an old style grocery store, like a mini supermarket. They have excellent meat, and always enough crab claws and mussels (sourced locally) to fill me up. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Beautifully situated campsite, right on the beach in one of the nicest parts of Donegal. My favourite place to be.

I spend five or ten weekends per year in Belfast, and I always have lunch in this place. The food is excellent, and the prices are astonishingly cheap (compared to Dublin). The standard menu is good unpretentious food, with dishes like Stroganoff, quiche, and a vegetarian tart (my favourite). On ...

I have been skiing here for twenty five years. While not as breathtaking or fast as skiing in the alps, this place has a lot to offer. It can be enormously beneficial for beginners to learn to ski here before going on a ski holiday, as it means that they can ski from the start of the holiday inst...

I like this cinema, it is easy to get parking near, and there are a good few restaurants nearby. The ticket desk is often quite busy, but you can actually get tickets from the guys at the food counters too - thus killing two birds with one stone.

At one time, this was the best cinema on the south side. Then Movies@ Dundrum came along and took the crown, but I still preferred IMC. Unfortunately IMC recently decided to replace the ticket desk staff with machines, and the last time I was here the machines (all running windows XP) were all cr...

This place is a massive improvement over the old Trinity sports centre. The climbing wall looks amazing, there is a lot more space for different sports, and finally a swimming pool!

Unfortunately, for me it is really let down by the weights room. The old free weights room was actually better, ...

I visited Dice for the first time last night, and I was impressed. It's the only bar I have been to in Dublin that has Leffe on tap. The staff are friendly, and seem to enjoy their work, which makes for a pleasant change. The DJ also played great music. Never having been to New York, I thought th...

Pints are cheap, outdoor seating area is spacious (grass!), and the crowd is young and relaxed. My favourite place for a few pints on a sunny summer evening.

Great for tasty ready-meals when you don't feel like preparing your own food (which is quite often for me).

There is also a great selection of desserts, from brownies and monster cookies to large cheesecakes and chocolate roulades.

This particular Butler's Pantry was recently renovated, and...

I have been eating my breakfast here for the past few days, the coffee is good, as is the almond croissant. I haven't yet had any of the other delicious looking pastries (see the picture), but it's only a matter of time until I do!

The service is good, and at least some of the staff are Frenc...

Love the bagels - hate the queing.

Nice gym. The free-weights room is large, simple and separate from the rest of the gym, which suits me. The salt water swimming pool, while too small and hot for serious swimming, is really nice - with comfortable seats in the adjoining jacuzzi.

One of my favourite places for lunch. The food is great, and the portions are pretty large.If you can polish off the whole baked cheesecake portion after a main course then you are a better man than I am! My favourites are: main course - Antipasti platter; dessert - Eton Mess. The coffee is also...

I like this place a lot, it feels like a proper Italian cafe. The staff are Italian, and their enthusiasm for the food and drink they are serving came as a pleasant surprise.

The prices are very reasonable; around 5 euro for a panino, and 2.40 for a double espresso - both are excellent.

These guys are great. Mark McCabe is really good at designing training programmes around an injury - enabling you to train hard while gradually building up the workload on the injury. I can't say enough good things about them.

Great food, very attentive staff. The lunch menu is excellent and quite reasonably priced, dinner can be expensive but the food and service make it worthwhile.

Great place, I was in and out in 15 minutes. In a normal A&E that would have taken a couple of hours at least.
