I went for lunch (breakfast is available 8-11) and there was so much to choose from on the menu. My boyfriend on the other hand wouldn't eat anything as he loves his meat and barely eats veg. It's mostly plant based and health food. I had the veg lasagne with their amazing pesto that I put onto everything at home. The lasagne was good and left me full for the day without feeling crap. Only reason for three stars is the food was luke warm as it's all under hot lamps and the feel of the cafe is sorta like a conveyor belt or a school canteen. You que up with trays and look at the food on the blackboard which caused a bit of a wait.. there's no loving feeling like I thought there would be. Also a gift shop on the way out??? Undecided.

I have to say, this is 5 stars all the way for me…read more Sometimes I get so busy that I'm running around from pillar to post and grabbing food here and there. I like to keep it healthy which means I can spend up to a tenner on a nice salad-y lunch and again the same, or more, for dinner, if I'm not able to cook at home. If I cook from home, I buy fresh ingredients and it takes me ages, so it's always one extreme or the other. Enter Paleo Ireland. I must say I've been really surprised by just How. Good. This. Food. Is. Really. I've always been Junior Sceptic about these types of delivery services. I don't want to be eating food that isn't fresh that doesn't have a high vegetable count. And I don't want to be eating stuff with preservatives and additions. And above all I don't want to be spending loads for the privilege. These guys deliver to your doorstep for 60 euro all in, including delivery. Five lunches and five dinners. All paleo, all nutritionally balanced, all really filling. For a fiver a meal, delivered, it's unusually good value. For the weeks you're running around with not two seconds to yourself, it's just a live saver. I'd definitely recommend to anyone.

The slight difference in culture when visiting tripped us up more than expected! I would call this place "hipster" but I think that would be an insult - it is a quaint and respectable joint that has delicious and healthy food. We had to try this place due to the proximity to where we were staying for our trip, so we stopped in when we had a free morning. The food we had was unexpected, but delicious. If you're from The States and are in the area, stop by!

Homemade, healthy, inspired, absolutely delish. - The tea - loose leaf, served in delicate vintage china and big burly but very cute knitted tea cosies. What I don't like: - Nothing. This place is deadly. Long may it reign!

In i go and stock up on all manor of nuts and seeds and sesame sticks and the old favourites sesame snaps! and then they have all those dried beans and cereals and organic chocolate (its in a healthfood shop therefore its healthy, so what if its chocolate!). then i drag it all back home and nibble on a couple of my purchases, devour all the organic chocolate and then i give up until the next health frenzy! the only thing that does survive from my regime bought in natures way are the wealth of vitamins and things that you can get in here, you can find lots of different things that you are probably lacking in in your diet and this place provides you with an easy way of including it!

When suffering from stress I always think some kind of supplement will make it all better... and…read moregenerally it works - possibly from the placebo effect but I just don't care. Anyway as it's a time of stress for me I toddled in here feeling very virtuous. As you'd expect they have a range of supplements for different things as well as lots of health foods and snacks. The supplements are sort of divided into purpose which helps you to find what you want if you're the kind of person that gets addled by little jars of strangely named things. I seemed to decide that I had almost all of the problems mentioned in each division so I did have to resist the urge to buy everything. Some things are mightily expensive. What's useful here is that while there are some quite expensive products there's generally a smaller, cheaper own brand that means you don't have to commit too much money to your latest supplement fad - is that just me? - I've got tonnes of half empty jars of supplements round the house - they generally go out of date before I swing round to my next supplement phase.

The Dublin food coop is a market hall which sells lots of organic food - local and imported. They…read moreare open on Thursdays (afternoons until late) and Saturdays during the day. Thursdays they have a limited selection with their organic/fairtrade/eco products and one supplier of fruits/vegetables, Saturday is the full show. First, this is a real coop with the whole community concept and you are encouraged to join as a member if you come regularly. Until recently they had a guest fee/suggested donation for visiting on Saturdays but this is gone so you are now free to check it out and see if you like it. Memberships gives you a 5% discount which might only be worth it if you shop there a lot, but even if not it might give you a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. While the coop is somewhat like a farmers market, it's kind of different because it has lots of different areas. It's definitely not as posh as the Temple Bar Farmers Market, so if you're looking for something like that - you're wrong here - this is much more down to earth (although Natasha's living foods also has a stand there) First there is the coop-run fairtrade/eco/organic store, which is a bit like a big health food store. Some of the "staple" products (like different beans, sugar, etc.) are packed by the coop itself and seem very competitively priced, others you can find cheaper in other places around town. The selection is great though, there's some things I haven't found somewhere else around town (like these German soy-based meat substitutes).They also do refills for some of the eco washing up/laundry liquids. Then there is the organic fruit/vegetable/eggs sellers - I think there's four or five competing ones there. They mostly have similar produce though and more than I'd like is imported - I couldn't find any Irish apples there, while they seem to have them at the Temple Bar Market. Also although there are all these producers together you might not get as lovely mushrooms or might be missing some not-so-common fruits/vegetables. They do their best, and all the guys are very lovely, but if like me you're looking for something very specific you might still have to hit both F&B and the Temple Bar Market to try to find it. If you hit these two first, you might be lucky here though. Then there's a few other sellers, two guys sell bread, one is German and sells nice German breads, the other I haven't tried. And then there's the milk/cheese stand from Moonshine, one of the main reasons I'm coming here. They have the non-homogenised (but pasteurised) Moonshine Milk, which is my new favourite as it tastes much better than the usual one to me. And it's not expensive for organic milk, 2.35 for 2 litres of the tastiest milk you'll get. Their cheese is also delicious. If you're hungry right there, there's also a cafe and a few sellers of snacks - two Indian foodstands, and a few other sellers of organic soups/pasties/muffins/other snacks. What I tried there was tasty, but nothing to write home about - I wouldn't say it's worth going there just for that. One thing you won't find in this huge markethall is meat - it's fully vegetarian. I must say I didn't really notice though until I read it on their website that this is part of the concept. I'd personally like a closer place to pick up a good selection of organic meat too, but it's only a small downside for me.

A favourite place of mine to do some vegetable and whole goods shopping on a Saturday (indeed I am…read moreeven a member of the co-op) and then sit down to one of the best kept secrets in Dublin; the cafe's Amazing Eggs with a latte. No really, that's what they're called, and they seriously are amazing, soft silky eggs with a little fried garlic and some cheese chucked in, on top of a slice of toasted brioche (from the German baker who sells his bread there) topped with fresh tomato and basil. Heavenly. All the ingredients they use in the cafe are from the market and you really can taste the difference. Just remember to tidy up after yourself, it's a co-op after all. ;)

From wicking underwear to base layers to shirts and pants to windbreakers to full on parkas, Patagonia can take you naked and outfit you instantly to face the harshest of climates. Their products are extremely well-made and last a long, long time. Which is a good thing, because there's no way in hell I could afford to shop here on a regular basis. Now, this location is an outlet, meaning they sell merchandise from past seasons at a reduced price. The prices are indeed reduced heavily, but the fact that the starting price is so high means the reduced price is still high. I took a look around the store and was dismayed that I couldn't even buy a single item. Even a bra was only reduced to 27 euros. Sad face. If you are a camping nut or just enjoy being outside, this place is worthy of a stop in. Their stuff is really excellent and fun to just look at a wish for, as I do. The main drawback is that, because it is an outlet, you don't have as many options. You're definitely not seeing their full range, which is even more impressive.
