Stumbled in after the zoo with the kids. Early bird menu is decent value, and that minted lemon water was a nice touch. Service was quick enough.

Stopped by for a late breakfast after wandering around Powerscourt. Got the Turkish eggs&mdash;creamy, plenty of spice, proper comfort food. Raspberry scone was decent too, light enough. Service was grand, no fuss. Place is small so you might be waiting for a seat at peak times. Fair price for what you get. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area.

Cozy spot for a proper Dublin pub night. Irish stew was spot on and the pint was poured just right. Got a bit busy later on but that&#39;s part of the charm.

The owner&#39;s a proper character&mdash;always up for a chat and full of local tips. Last time he even brought a lamp over so I could read my book. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Decent spot not far from Temple Bar. Did the early bird menu, two courses, and honestly the portions were generous enough. Chicken wings were the standout. Pints are a bit pricey, but you&#39;d expect that around here. Booking ahead is probably wise, it got busy quick. Fine for a casual bite.

Came in the night before Valentine&#39;s with the wife. Set menu was decent enough, hot wings were the best part. Waitress looked after us well, no complaints there. They took our Dine in Dublin voucher too, which was handy. Place was busy but we got seated quick. Wouldn&#39;t say it&#39;s anything fancy, but it did the job for a Tuesday night.

I absolutely loved the afternoon tea at The Atrium. The selection of teas was impressive, and the service was friendly and attentive. A perfect place to relax and enjoy a lovely meal.

Restaurant in The College Green Hotel Dublin, Autograph Collection

Nice spot for a drink, no doubt. Cocktails were solid but service was all over the place on a busy night. Took forever to get the bill sorted.

I highly recommend the afternoon tea at this restaurant. The selection of sandwiches and desserts is fantastic, and the scones are the best I&#39;ve ever had!

Restaurant in The Morrison Dublin, Curio Collection by Hilton

Pasta was fresh, no complaints there. Staff were sound, didn&#39;t rush us at all. Place is small and quiet, easy to have a proper chat. Got the tagliatelle, decent portion for the price. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The Avo chicken burger was decent&mdash;good flavour, plenty of filling. But for &euro;14, I expected a bit more on the plate. Chips would&#39;ve made it feel like better value.

Decent breakfast spot, &euro;12 for 8 items is fair. Queue moves fast, bangers are properly deep-fried.

The Dubai Style Iced Chocolate was a solid new find &mdash; rich without being too sweet. They threw in a free chocolate to sample too, which was a nice touch.

Stopped by for a quick dinner with a friend and honestly the pasta really stood out. Got the tagliatelle and it was properly done, not overcooked or drowning in sauce. For a place right in the city centre, I wasn&rsquo;t expecting much but it hit the spot. Staff were sound too, left us alone until we needed them. Would go back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

The beef and Guinness pie was the standout. Rich, dark gravy, proper chunks of meat, pastry that held up. Had it with the champ, which soaked up the sauce nicely. Portion was decent for the price. Could&#39;ve done with a bit more pepper in the mash, but that&#39;s a small thing. I&#39;d order that again.

The daily special pasta was proper good &mdash; tasted like something you&#39;d actually get in Italy. Coffee was spot on as well. Nice spot for a quick lunch.

The fish and chips here are always solid&mdash;never had a bad batch. Place gets busy, but that&rsquo;s just how it goes. Staff were friendly enough too.

The pulled ham was lovely and tender, poached eggs done just right. Staff were genuinely friendly too. Only thing is the place got a bit busy but that&#39;s a good sign I suppose.

Stopped by for lunch and Tomas sorted us out straight away. Proper friendly lad, knew the menu inside out. Had the seafood chowder and it was class, really rich and creamy. Place had a good buzz to it too. Only thing was it got a bit busy after 1 but that&#39;s on us for the timing.

Dined in for the first time after only having takeaway before, and it was a much better experience. The staff were incredibly attentive, especially Jamal, Sourah, and Sandhggp. The food was fantastic and I&#39;ll definitely be back.

Lively spot, staff were dead sound. Sunday roast did the job but &euro;30 feels steep for what you get. Fair enough for a one-off though.
