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.

Stopped in for a coffee and ended up staying longer than planned. Flat white was solid, and the scrambled eggs on sourdough came out hot with a decent portion. Place was busy but not chaotic. Staff let me sit without rushing me. Rathmines needed something like this.

The matcha was proper&mdash;strong without being bitter, just how I like it. They open early enough that I could grab a cup before work without rushing. Sat near the window for a bit, chairs were decently comfortable for a quick stop. Staff were sound, didn&#39;t hover. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m in the area again.

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.

Stopped by for sushi the other evening and it was just as good as the last few times. The fish tasted fresh, and the staff were lovely. I&rsquo;m not one for fussy places, so the straightforward service suited me fine. Only thing is it can get a bit busy, but that&rsquo;s a good sign, I suppose. A solid choice if you&rsquo;re nearby.

The birria here is seriously good&mdash;rich, tender, that deep flavour you don&rsquo;t find often. I&rsquo;d say it&rsquo;s a bit dear for what you get on the plate, but the quality kind of justifies it. Staff were sound, no complaints there. I had a glass of red with it, worked well enough. Just mind the portions if you&rsquo;re starving.

Been here more times than I can count, honestly. Chicken dishes are always spot on&mdash;tender, juicy, never dry. Quality&#39;s stayed consistent which is rare for a place this busy. Service is fine too, nothing fancy but they get it done. Not the cheapest spot but you get what you pay for.

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.

Decent spot for a quick bite. Staff were sound even though it was packed, queue moved fast and they didn&#39;t mess up the order. Got the burger, it was fine. Nothing fancy but you know what you&#39;re getting. Probably won&#39;t go out of my way for it, but if you&#39;re in the area it does the job.

The bartenders really knew their Irish whiskey and took time to figure out what I&#39;d like. Nice spot for a quiet pint, though the seating near the window is a bit cramped.

Had the halloumi sandwich &mdash; crispy cheese, fresh stuff in it. Pretty good overall. Place has a nice relaxed vibe, staff were sound. Maybe a bit slow getting the bill, but no big deal. Decent spot if you&#39;re in the area.

Pork main was unreal, proper depth of flavour. Place gets loud when it&#39;s full though, not the spot for a quiet chat. Staff were sound.

Great spot for a catch-up with friends. We came as a group of six and the staff were so patient with us. Pasta was delicious, and that tiramisu is a must. The free limoncello at the end was a lovely touch 🍋

Stopped in for dinner last week &mdash; the steak sandwich was properly done, decent cut of meat, good bun. Fish was fresh too. Had a glass of their house red with the steak, worked well enough. Burger and pasta were just okay, nothing to write home about. Prices are a bit steep for what you get, but I&#39;d go back for that sandwich.

The cocktails and loaded fries were outstanding! The staff was attentive and friendly, making our visit even more enjoyable.

Stopped in after work and grabbed a seat at the bar. The place has a proper Parisian bistro feel now, sharp but not stuffy. Had the chicken wings to go&mdash;good call, sticky and spicy with that Southern Asian kick. Bartender poured a solid G&amp;T to start, worked well with the heat. Service was on point, never hovering. Might skip the dessert next time, but the wings alone are worth the trip.

The turkey sandwich was fresh and the bread felt properly baked. Coffee was decent too. Nice spot for a quick lunch if you&#39;re in the area.

The chai latte was lovely and the toastie did the job. Place got pretty busy but the vibe stayed cosy. Price was fair for what you got.
