I just got the seafood chowder here and it was delicious. At a glance many of the prices seemed better than supermarkets and the the fish was probably fresher.

I had a good experience with these guys. On ringing up I was given a full quote and a breakdown for the work. They arrived on time and got the job done (fitting a new circuit board in the boiler).

The atmosphere of the bookstore makes this a very pleasant cafe away from the hustle and bustle. I haven't tried the food but the coffee was good. Eircom wifi is available apparently.

Cornucopia

Cornucopia Vegetarian · Dublin

5.0 on January 30th, 2009

Even though getting a seat here can be a pain in the neck when it's busy, I say 5 stars anyway for the quality of the food. It's a self service set up so you get to eye up all the dishes before ordering. It always looks and tastes great, and is filling without being stodgy. This must be one of th...

Great spot to get a seat with a view over the Green, and the coffee was excellent. I haven't tried the food yet.

Indian Ocean

Indian Ocean Indian · Dublin

5.0 on December 16th, 2008

A group of us were here for dinner recently and everyone was impressed with the food, service and the modern interior. They must have ironed out any teething problems with waiting times since they opened. The food is very good quality. My only gripe was the lack of vegetables in the main course b...

Very impressive building, and in keeping with its spectacular setting. If weather dictates that there's "no boat to the island today", the Centre will still give a good feel for life on the Blasket Islands. "For the likes of them will never be again", and such. If you do pick up Maurice O'Sulliva...

Herbert Park

Herbert Park Parks · Ballsbridge

4.0 on November 3rd, 2008

The park makes a great route for a run at lunch time, if you're so inclined. It's nice and flat and within range of a lot of offices. I left one star off due to the odd pothole in the paths, but hey this is a park and not a shopping mall!

Bedford Stuy Barbers

Bedford Stuy Barbers Barbers · Temple Bar

5.0 on November 3rd, 2008

I thought the cut here was better than both the Grafton Barber and the Merchant Barber in my experience. €16 for a dry cut was very good value compared to paying the same for shoddy work elsewhere.

You will find excellent food in this trendy Suburban Cafe, however the dining area is claustraphobic and could be improved by removing some of the tiny tables.
