The prices for healthy organic products are quite steep, and the Health Store offers pretty similar prices to other healthy shops in town. All the same, you at least know exactly what is in your food. If you are conscious about what you eat, buying products without all the unwanted ingredients, that is worth the extra spending, if you can afford it.

Popped in there this evening to buy a vitamin and found it a gobsmacking €13 more expensive than…read moreanother well known Dublin chain of health food stores. Not only do I not like the vibe of this place ( more tesco that the more friendly helpful independent health food stores who are heartily vegan/nutritionists/therapists in training and look like they belong in health foods), the prices difference was crazy. As I was mentioning this to the staff, who muttered something about "Dundrum rents" another customer chimed in to agree. She never offered to take feedback, or heaven forbid, price match. So spoke with my wallet and left my vitamin on the shelf. Fine if you are just popping in for something specific, but there are far more professional and reasonably prices establishments more deserving of your hard earned cash.

We finished off with a cookie from the Dublin Cookie Co, which I was absolutely going to save for later, until I ate it straight away.... salted caramel and pecan mmmm mmmm There are so many other amazing stalls here, like slow cooked beef and lamb, tapas, pulled pork, steak and burgers.

My review therefore, is based on this location, though the vendors are more or less the same everywhere. Last year it was every Thursday, this year I have been on Fridays. On a bright day, there is no place better to grab your lunch. The perfect setting that is the canal allows you to soak up the weather and some of the most picturesque surroundings Dublin has to offer. As far as the food goes, this is probably the most comprehensive I've seen. Unlike the Dun Laoighre market which is quite limited in choice, this one offers everything including hog roasts, fish and chips, kebabs, paella, burgers, curries, noodles, cakes, ice-cream; the list goes on, but basically, no matter what you're into, or what particular craving is niggling at you that day, this place will cater for it. The only issue is deciding. I have no complaints about this market whatsoever; prices start at about seven euro. The only suggestion I would make is to get down at twelve or so to beat the lunchtime business rush. And if you can't make it to Grand Canal, fear not as these guys are all over the place.

So, as a reward for actually dragging our sorry asses out of bed and into the office, we regularly make our way down to the Sandyford farmers market for some food. They have just about anything you can imagine from horse on a stick (seriously, don't knock it till you've tried it) to Thai food and fish & chips - all of it very very good. Most dishes cost around the 8Euro mark but you can find wee crackers like the 8 chicken wings for 4 euro from the BBQ chicken stall. The market only takes place on a Friday - which is probably just as well for my rapidly expanding waist-line.

She sees the blank look on my face and says "forget it, I'll get it". We go into the Health Shoppe where the very knowledgeable lady behind the counter provides the moss and suitable advice, the place is full with all sorts of healthy things as you would expect, wifey liked it a lot.

The lady who owns the place is exceptionally friendly and helpful, so I'd definitely recommend popping in if you have any queries about health food/ supplements etc. It's generally pretty quiet in there so you wont be left waiting in any queues either!
