The tuna bowl was fresh and tasty, and the staff were friendly. It&#39;s a bit pricey for what you get, but it&#39;s a good option for a quick, healthy meal.

Ask for a table upstairs if you can &mdash; the view over the abbey and harbour is unreal. Wood-fired pizza was spot on, and the prawn linguine didn&#39;t disappoint either.

Got seated in about 10 minutes despite the Sunday rush. Avo toast and shakshuka were solid, decent portions for the price. Service was friendly enough. No complaints.

That broth in the San Diego ramen was proper rich, honestly some of the best I&#39;ve had. Katsu and veggie gyoza were decent too, staff were sound.

Lunch deal is decent for the price, portions are proper big. Got the chicken main, was grand. Brownie after was a letdown though, bit dry.

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 for coffee and a slice of cake. Place is small but has a nice buzz to it. Music was decent, not too loud. Cake selection looked good, had the chocolate one. Fine for killing an hour or so if you&#39;re in the area.

Hot chocolate here is proper stuff, thick and rich. Turkish coffee&#39;s a nice option too if you fancy switching it up. Pastries looked decent but didn&#39;t try one.

Stopped in for a quick bite and ended up staying longer than planned. The prawn dumplings were proper good, and the crispy enoki mushrooms had a nice texture. Staff were sound, no hassle at all. Place has a decent buzz to it. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Convenient spot across from the museum. Food was solid and the bill felt fair for the area. Service quick enough.

Lovely spot right on Stephens Green &mdash; that view alone makes it worth stopping in. Buffet price is fair for the city centre, nothing fancy but solid enough.

The milkshake here is genuinely the best I&#39;ve had in a long time&mdash;thick, creamy, not overly sweet. I&#39;d love to see them open more locations around Dublin. Food was solid too, and the staff didn&#39;t rush us even when it got busy. Only wish they had a better wine list to round things out.

The smoked salmon and avocado was fresh enough, and they do a decent glass of sauvignon blanc to go with it. Cozy spot, nothing fancy. Fine for a quick bite.

Stopped in for a quick dinner. Curries were solid, egg fried rice done right. Staff left me alone until I needed them, which I appreciate. Place is comfortable enough for a solo meal. No complaints, decent spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something reliable.

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.

The staff here are genuinely lovely &mdash; proper warm welcome and they actually check in on you. Food was decent too, nothing fancy but hit the spot.

The yukhoe here was a proper surprise&mdash;didn&rsquo;t think I&rsquo;d find it in Dublin, and the sesame oil dressing was lovely.

Coffee&rsquo;s always spot on, and the French toast is a solid shout. Pork Benny&rsquo;s decent too, though a few plates could do with a tweak. Maybe I&rsquo;m just here too often. 🍳☕
