Stopped in for lunch and grabbed a burrito with a drink for &euro;11.50. Portion was big enough that I couldn&#39;t finish it. Filling options are plenty, and the hot sauce on the table gives it a proper kick. Solid spot if you&#39;re hungry and don&#39;t want to spend a fortune.

The early bird menu is decent value&mdash;three courses for what you&rsquo;d normally pay for a main elsewhere. I went for the fish, which was cooked well, and the warm sticky toffee pudding hit the spot. Pairing it with a glass of dessert wine worked nicely. Service was a bit slow, but the place was packed. Fine for a midweek bite.

Came in with a wheelchair, staff moved tables around without me even asking. That was decent. Pancakes were good, fluffy enough. Got a second plate, no regrets. Place isn&#39;t big but they made it work. Fine for a casual breakfast stop.

The lamb stew was the real deal. Tender, rich, proper Irish flavours. I&#39;d go back just for that alone. The waiter knew the menu inside out, helped my mate with her allergies and got the kitchen to sort her something safe. That was decent. Didn&#39;t pay much attention to the room or anything else. The food did the talking.

The Sizzler pizza and meatballs were proper good. Only thing is the slices came all wonky&mdash;seven uneven pieces. Still, solid spot for a feed.

The build-your-own pancakes are the way to go. Got a decent stack for the price, and the toppings were spread properly through every layer, not just dumped on top. They even do a gluten-free version, which is handy. Portion was solid for what you pay. No complaints there.

Chicken katsu curry was solid, nicely presented. Portion could be bigger for the price though.

Been coming here for a while now, and the coffee&#39;s still spot on. Staff actually know what they&#39;re doing, happy to chat about beans if you&#39;re into that. Nice spot to just sit by the window and watch the street. Not the cheapest, but you pay for the quality. Always leaves me sorted for the rest of the day.

Service was a bit hit or miss &mdash; one guy was lovely, another seemed like he&#39;d rather be anywhere else. Food and vibe made up for it though.

The Guinness here is genuinely good, one of the better pints I&#39;ve had in Dublin. It&#39;s a proper pub, pretty spacious and laid-back, not as cramped as some of the other spots nearby. Staff were friendly enough too.

Stopped in for a coffee and ended up staying way longer than planned. That bookshelf wall is a nice touch, gives the place a proper snug feel. Had the lemon poppy seed cake with a flat white&mdash;cake was decent, not too sweet. Would&#39;ve liked a glass of wine instead but they seemed more geared towards the coffee crowd. Solid enough spot if you&#39;re in the area.

We did the pizza-making workshop here with a few friends. The team kept things moving and were sound about it. Got to sit down after and eat what we made, which is the best part. I&rsquo;d say bring a bottle of something red along, it pairs well with the whole thing. Decent spot for a group outing.

Popped in for a quick bite last week. Ramen was decent, broth had good flavour. Noodles were a bit softer than I&#39;d normally get, took me a minute to get used to. Place itself is comfortable enough, nothing fancy. Fair price for what you get, I&#39;d say. Might come back if I&#39;m in the area and craving a bowl.

Came in for a late breakfast on Sunday and got seated right away, which surprised me. Food was lovely, service quick, but it was loud enough that I put my headphones on just to enjoy my coffee in peace.

Solid spot for a drink at the bar. Burger&rsquo;s up there with the best in town, and the club sandwich is properly done&mdash;hard to find that these days. Just give yourself time to flag someone down for service.

Tiny little place, barely any seats, but grand for grabbing something quick. Got the chicken wrap, fresh enough and the sauce was decent. Packaged well, no mess on the go. Not somewhere you&#39;d sit down for a long chat, but does the job.

The mapo tofu here actually tastes like the real deal, not the watered-down version you get in most places. I sat near the window and the light was nice, made the whole room feel a bit warmer. Double cooked pork belly was decent too, though the seating could be a bit more comfortable. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back for a quick lunch.

Decent spot for Chinese food when you&#39;re sick of pub grub. Wonton soup was good but the portions are a bit small for the price.

The carrot cake really stood out &mdash; fresh and not overly sweet. Brownie was good too. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality matches. Courtyard seating is nice, though the garden chairs could use more cushioning.

Decent spot on South William Street. The Ethiopian cappuccino was rich and nutty, nice for a slow Saturday morning. Steps out front are good for people-watching.

The pistachio croissant was the standout &mdash; flaky, not too sweet. Matcha was decent too. Nice bright spot by the water, easy to sit and chill for a bit.

Teppanyaki chicken was solid &mdash; good portion for the price, rice and miso soup included. Chilli oil gave it a nice kick. Kimchi ramen was decent too. No desserts, but that wasn&#39;t a dealbreaker.

Staff sorted our coats the second we walked in, and kept the water topped up all night. Prawns were class, duck was decent too. Solid spot for a feed.

The prawn caesar salad is still spot on&mdash;Mihae always looks after us well. Been coming here a while now and it never disappoints.

Great playlist and the service was spot on. Burger came out a bit small for the price, but the wine list had a few solid picks that paired well. Nice spot for a relaxed bite.

The seafood chowder here is seriously good&mdash;light broth, loads of seafood. Had it twice on my Dublin trip and it didn&#39;t disappoint either time.

Late dinner and they still took us in &mdash; fair play. Food was solid for the price. Only hassle was finding parking nearby. The house red went down easy with the mains, though.

The rooms have that old-school charm but still feel modern where it counts. Really well kept, like stepping back in time but without the creaky bed situation.
