Full Irish breakfast did the job - solid portion, decent price for what you get. Staff were quick and didn&#39;t fuss around. Handy spot if you&#39;re passing through and need something filling before heading off. No complaints really.

The outdoor seating&#39;s lovely for a quiet evening. Turkish coffee hit the spot.

I had a fantastic brunch at Balfes! The food was delicious, and the portions were generous. The staff were welcoming and made us feel right at home.

Right next to the station, so it&#39;s handy. Bangers and mash were solid, service was quick enough. Decent spot for a pint and something filling before a train.

Came for the Sunday roast and the beef was spot on, really tender. Roasties had that proper crunch I look for. Portion size felt fair for the price. Place was buzzing with the match on, so not the quietest, but that&#39;s part of the vibe here. Left full and content.

Solid pint of Guinness before heading to the Aviva &mdash; that&#39;s the main reason to stop in. It gets pretty packed on match days, but the staff are quick enough that you&#39;re not waiting ages. Seating&#39;s a bit tight once it fills up, but for a quick one it does the job.

The lamb stew was the standout &mdash; tender, rich broth, proper Irish seasoning. Portion came up a bit small for what they charge, though. I&#39;d have happily paid the same for a bigger bowl. That&#39;s the only gripe. The flavour itself did the job.

Buttermilk chicken burger was spot on&mdash;hot, crispy fries too. Bartender sorted me out quick. Worth the walk from the centre.

Booked a table for 14 with drinks and platters. Jo&atilde;o sorted everything out so easily. Honestly, the whole group was happy with how it went. Good spot if you&#39;re organising something bigger.

Nice spot for a quiet drink. The staff were friendly and we grabbed a seat outside without any hassle. Live music was a nice bonus too.

No. 8 of Bars in Dublin

Stopped in on a whim and ended up chatting with the owner for a bit. He really looks after you if you&#39;re flying solo. Back room is small but proper cozy. Had the lamb stew, decent portion for the price. Nothing fancy, but you leave feeling looked after.

Came for a show at the Viking Theatre upstairs&mdash;small and intimate, really nice for that. Had a quick pint at the bar before, decent spot for it.

Proper old-school pub. Real fire going, decent pint of Guinness. The cats just wander about, adds to the vibe. Friendly enough banter from the locals. Nothing fancy, but you don&#39;t need fancy here. Just a solid spot for a quiet one.

Went for the wine list, stayed for the charcuterie board. Carlos knows his stuff, poured me something I&rsquo;d never have picked myself. Food&rsquo;s simple but it works. Didn&rsquo;t need the jazz to enjoy it, but it didn&rsquo;t hurt.
