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.

Got the Too Good To Go bag&mdash;6 pastries for &euro;3.49. Staff let me pick which ones I wanted, which was nice. Croissant was still flaky, not soggy at all.

The lamb chops were done just right, proper flavour in them. Service was grand, friendly enough without hovering. Place was busy when I popped in, but I still got my food in decent time. Not the cheapest spot in town, but you&#39;re paying for the quality. I&#39;d say it&#39;s worth a look if you&#39;re in the area and fancy a decent feed.

The garlic bread with cheese was lovely to start, and my pizza hit the spot. Fair price for Dublin, which is always a relief. Staff were friendly enough, didn&#39;t have to wait long for a table either. Just the kind of easy dinner I needed after a long week. Nothing fancy, but you know what you&#39;re getting.

Stopped by for a quick bite at the Jervis centre spot. Comfy chairs, decent vibe for a food court. Got the chicken burger, it did the job. Staff were sound, no hassle. Prices have crept up a bit, but sure, everywhere has. Fine if you need something fast without the fuss.

Loved the bubble waffle with Biscoff here, so light and loaded with toppings. Perfect little stop in Temple Bar.

Sushi rolls were massive, loaded with fresh fish and veg. Rice was spot on, honestly the best I&#39;ve had outside Japan. Agedashi tofu and the house tempura mix were solid too. Portion size for the price is fair, no complaints there. Place was busy but service kept up fine. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Came in nervous about my English but the instructor was dead patient, showed everything step by step. Actually managed a half-decent latte art. Fair play to them.

The caramel latte was spot on, not too sweet. Staff actually listened when I asked for it less sweet. Nice quiet spot to sit and relax.

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.

Daily specials are solid, good value for what you get. Food came out fresh, service was friendly enough.

The mango sorbet here is proper good &mdash; really fresh and full of flavour. Staff let me try a few before I picked, which I always appreciate. Plenty of seating inside and out, so it&rsquo;s easy to just sit for a bit. Near Temple Bar too, handy for a quick stop. Maybe a touch busy but that&rsquo;s the location for you.

The hot chocolate here is properly thick, like melted chocolate in a cup. That European caf&eacute; vibe is spot on, really cozy without trying too hard. Staff were lovely too, checked in just enough without hovering. Wish I lived closer, honestly. Would be dangerous for my wallet.

Stopped in for breakfast before a flight&mdash;Manjula&rsquo;s cooking is proper good. Had the masala dosa and a glass of their house lager, which worked better than I expected. Staff are genuinely lovely, chatty without hovering. Place was busy but they didn&rsquo;t rush me. Only thing is the coffee&rsquo;s a bit weak, but the food makes up for it.

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

Been coming here for years now. Staff actually remember what I usually order, which says something. Food&#39;s been consistent the whole time too&mdash;never had a bad breakfast. Place gets busy around noon but they keep things moving. Not the cheapest spot in town but you get what you pay for. Always leave full.

The chowder and shrimp were pretty good, fresh and well done. Service was fine, just a bit of a wait.

Been coming here for a while now and the portions never disappoint. Staff know when to check in and when to leave you alone. Solid spot if you want a relaxed feed.
