Best fucking sandwiches in Dublin. Yes I just cursed but how else can I convey how delicious the chargrilled chicken sandwich is? Bottom line, if you're in the Dublin 4 area you should go here, awesome tunes and cool vibes make the long queues at the wrong times bearable. read more

Your standard New York cheesecake in your standard touristy hot spot. Nothing more, nothing less. Generous portions and friendly staff, but the cake itself wasn't to die for, or to remember really. Great place for big parties pre-COVID read more

Cute, though small restaurant. Has both indoor and outdoor seating. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Portions are generous! Come hungry!! They have a prix fix and ala carte menu. Started with the grilled peach starter and enjoyed the beef tagiglate. Perfectly cooked (medium) beef (so tired of well done / charred beef!). Fairly priced at 16 euros for two courses. Would come back read more

Awesome food and the best service. If you're in Dublin, Juniors is a must stop. The daily specials are always fantastic and the main menu has plenty of great choices. One of my favorite restaurants in town!! read more

Had the eggs benedict. Eggs poached to custardy, slightly runny texture. Rich, subtle hollandaise sauce. Plentyful spinach and ham. No line and several open tables available at 1pm on a Saturday. Happened to have Brew Dog beer available in bottle. IMO superior to the all the standard Irish taps. read more

they served the best sambo i ever had in town. They also had different deal for lunch like sandwich + salad + half soup (11e) which I highly recommend. The place could be also really packed during lunch time! But super stuff! read more

I always hear people say such good things about this place, but both times I've been here I haven't been overly impressed. I was here most recently with a large group of friends. We had made a reservation, but were told the table wouldn't be ready for about 20 minutes; but that was fine, and we just grabbed a drink next door. We were sat and orders taken. I decided to start with the soup of the day, which was tomato and pumpkin, then went with the ribeye for my entree. The soup was SO big and came with so much bread that I almost could've eaten JUST that for dinner. The soup was tasty, but was molten hot. It took ages to finish between allowing it enough time to cool and being such a large portion The ribeye came out, and it was pretty good, but nothing to write home about. The food here is good, but not great; and this is not reflected in the prices in their dinner menu. In my opinion, if your cheapest entree is going to be essentially €20, then the food better be pretty damn good. Probably won't come back here again in the future. read more

I came here with the hubby on our most recent trip to Dublin after reading reviews from Yelpers. The food was absolutely amazing, and we left full and happy! Appys We ordered 2 starters - the soup of the day (seasonal vegetable soup when we went) and the olives with sourdough toast. As simple as they sound, both were really good. The soup was a very large bowl filled with a hearty amount of fresh seasonal vegetables, and the flavor and seasoning were great. For the other plate, each of the olives were really big, and the sourdough was a toasted, buttery goodness! Main course For our main dishes, I ordered the clam linguine and he ordered the rib eye with mash and green beans. Both - DIVINE. I really loved the clam linguine. The garlic, white wine and other flavors were just so perfectly combined together, and the noodles were so chewy and good, and the clams were so fresh. Everything about this dish was just awesome. The rib eye was hearty and flavorful as well. We looked around and everyone seemed to be enjoying what they ordered. Staff and Ambiance The staff was super friendly and very helpful. There is only 1 chef there, so if you go, expect to spend some time there - not a place for a quick dinner. But the ambiance inside the restaurant is very cozy with dim lighting and fun music, so it was overall a really great experience. Definitely highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back! read more

I really wanted to love Juniors but after our dinner there last weekend, I won't be rushing back. I had the mussels to start and the ling (think cod's cousin) with vegetables as my main. J had the pint o' prawns to start and the gnocchi as his main. While the service was excellent, my dishes were just okay. In addition, my fish was served over a bed of veggies with pine nuts mixed throughout. This "minor detail" was not mentioned anywhere in the food description and I'm allergic to pine nuts. I moved my fish to a side plate and asked the waiter if they could arrange for veggies without nuts but by the time it was brought out I was finished with my fish. I've heard amazing things about their sandwiches so next time I think I'll stick to lunch. read more

AMAZING chargrilled chicken sandwich - this rating is mainly just for that (as I've not had anything else). My coworkers and I decided to drop by here and pick up some sandwiches. Oh it was an amazing decision. The chicken is seasoned perfectly (so garlic-y and so amazing) and everything just fits together nicely. It's a big sandwich and you'll be wanting a nap after. This sandwich makes me think of home *tears.* Not really, but it's pretty darn delicious. read more

Good atmosphere, good food, okay location, okay prices. Overall I'd probably give this place 4.5 stars. It's a little cramped on the inside and there aren't a lot of tables. But it is still worth it for the very good food. I ordered bangers and mash, which was quite tasty (although it didn't blow me out of the water like Gruel's bangers and mash). For dessert, I got the chocolate cake, which was not too heavy but definitely could've been sweeter. As a huge chocolate cake fan, I was a little disappointed in it. Overall a pretty tasty restaurant. I can see why its popular. read more

I have been going to Juniors for lunch year in, year out. But with so many additional lunch spots in the area my visits have become less and less. Shame on me, because I do love their massive sambo's, big bowls of soup and original mixed salads. Also, service has gotten a lot faster since they do table service now - rather than queueing for ages to order/ pay. On a weekday, definitely come at 12 on the dot, if you want a seat. Otherwise you might be waiting a long time. On today's visit I went for the Coronation chicken (€6.75), I think it's the newest sambo added to the menu, as I hadn't seen it before. What came to the table, was a monster of sambo (see photo). It was the same size as a small (or big? ) baby. I don't know how I did it, but I polished it all off. Every.single. breadcrumb. GONE. yum! read more

Kind of strange a bit ??? We came for lunch at closer to 1pm. 4 empty tables in view. 3 on the front terrace. More inside and no reservations required. To our astonishment a friendly gentleman greeted us in the front with the words "no more room available" Strange we thought??? Went across the street for a great lunch and when we left walking by Juniors it was full. All tables was occupied only go us " No Room" Hugs. read more

I came here on a lazy Sunday morning brunch with some friends and had a great time. Really prompt service too. I got myself "The Mexican" which is basically eggs with a spicy Mexican sauce, guac, and sour cream. I thought it was really good although a bit too greasy. I also ordered some orange juice and coffee and they were both very good. My friend got crab cakes and a Mississippi Mud Pie (pictured here) and judging by his clean plate, I would guess he enjoyed his meal too. read more

I had a great dinner in Juniors recently and I can understand why people see it as a new up and coming 'it place.' It seems to be doing really well lately and I think this is a mix of good reviews in the media as well as word of mouth. This is a great place for steak and the desserts are top notch. Next time I go, I'm definitely trying the homemade marshmallows with hot chocolate sauce. I've never seen that on a menu before and think it's very cool. Who doesn't like marshmallows? Mmmm. Only thing is that they don't take reservations, which is a pet peeve of mine. But after having a drink in Slattery's next door, I came to the conclusion after the meal that it was well worth the wait. read more

Having worked around the corner from Juniors for months, I was shocked that I'd never popped in before, or heard my colleagues talking about it! I'd seen all of the yelp hype so went in on Thursday to scope the place out! First of all, did anyone else notice how the waiters are unreal Craic? Literally joking and having the banter with us all night (thumbs to to the hiring manager)! Another thing I love here is the cosy, Intimate atmosphere! The restaurant is quite small, so we sat out in the covered terrace. We even had blankets to wrap around us while we ate which was incredibly cute (not that we needed them, there must be some outdoor heating going on!) As for the food, it was as good as I expected! Our starter was the special: antipasti platter with bread! The bread was amazing, like seriously crusty and chargrilled tasting, and the cold meats were good too. You can't go wrong with an old antipasti can you though? I'm a fish lover so I opted for the hake with mussels for my main, while my other half went for the stew. My fish was cooked to perfection and came with spuds and a lovely thin sauce. There is nothing worse than a piece of fish that is downed in a thick sauce. That doesn't fly with me! The only thing that disappointed me here was the dessert. We went for the chocolate peanutbutter cake. I mean, it was good, but it LOOKED like it was going to taste better. It was a little too sweet for me but the fellah enjoyed it none the less! I will defiantly be coming back here to try more of the starters and mains though! Well done Juniors, 4 stars for you! read more

Juniors is my friend's favourite restaurant and now that I've tried it myself I can see why. It has a nice, relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere with friendly and welcoming staff. The food is absolutely amazing and pretty inexpensive for Ballsbridge as well. I had the Rigatoni Bolognese, which was excellent and the NY cheesecake for dessert, which was amazing as well. My friend is vegetarian and they had a pretty good selection of dishes for him, which is pretty good for a small restaurant. All in all it came to less than 25 Euro per head. We were also told by the waiter, that the menu changes depending on season and availability of vegetables and meats. Five stars all around. read more

A friend of mine claimed he had a craving for junior's. I had never been before so we decided to wonder in for Saturday brunch. Unfortunately the place was full, but the staff were lovely and took our number and offered to call us when the first table became available - which they did 15 minutes later. Seated on the overly Christmas decorated terrace we both ordered steak sandwiches. I was pleasantly impressed with how well cooked it was. After the main I asked for a recommendation for desert: I was told the cheesecake would be a great choice and it was! read more

By far the best local restaurant in Dublin! If you're looking for something fresh, healthy and made with love - come to this place! Everything on their menu will put a smile on your face and in your belly! I have been to this restaurant over a dozen times and I have yet to be disappointed. The level on consistency these guys have is unbeatable. Their service is extremely friendly and welcoming. The servers are very aware of their tables. I never have to wait for anything because there's always someone there to help! The tables are always clean and so is the environment. They are working from an open kitchen and you can see how organized and clean they are from the inside as well. I have had over half their menu by now and it is all spot on! The flavors are absolutely amazing! They have anything from spicy to sweet and salty if you're craving it! It's all healthy and fresh! My favorite is the portions, I always leave full! Basically - you can't go wrong! Try it out. read more

This cozy, hole-in-the-wall restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside, but Juniors serves up a whole lot of deliciousness. While they constantly update their menu, my standard brunch order is the smoked salmon on toast with spinach and hollandaise sauce. I'm also a huge fan of their cappuccinos and freshly-squeezed orange juice. Dinner doesn't disappoint either. While I tend to go for their pasta dishes (they had an incredible gnocchi a few months ago), Juniors also offers a wide array of tasty meats and fish. The place is usually packed and you may have to wait a bit. The good news is that the servers are happy to take your mobile number and call you when a table is available. If you're seated inside, you get to experience the hustle and bustle of the kitchen. Whereas if you're outside, you can enjoy a beautiful Dublin day or cuddle under a fleece blanket if necessary. A foodie friend and I regularly debate whether their brunch or dinner is better. My vote is brunch, but regardless of when you go, you're in for a treat! read more

I am only writing this in relation to the brunch I had the weekend before last. My friend that took me here forewarned me that she has found the brunch very disappointing but lunch, dinner etc amazing. She took me here in the hope that it had improved. I feel it's important for me to give the background as I have every intention of returning for dinner as the reviews have been great. OK let's rock on with the brunch experience shall we. 1. A lack of variety on the menu. Poached eggs are my favourite way to cook an egg but that was the predominate way you could get your eggs done. No omelet and the menu stated that they don't like you to order off the menu. 2. I order the poached eggs, salmon, spinach on bread with hollandaise sauce. - The egg was hard. - The salmon was fridge cold. - The spinach was not seasoned enough. It was so disappointing as brunch is my favourite meal. I am more annoyed that I didn't return the dish especially since the table next to me who also got the same dish were complaining. An Irish condition that I struggle with. Service was very pleasant. The place was packed with the young and hip so their brand still will draw people in regardless of a pretty weak brunch menu. read more

I had brunch here and I chose the belly of pork and served on pickled cabbage with bacon bits and fried potatoes. As I was driving I opted for a pot of tea. The pork was lovely and I loved the crackling but it was too dry. I would have preferred something other than the pickled cabbage - actually anything other than the cabbage. I loved the potato. As the meal it would have been nicer with perhaps apple sauce. Service although they were polite and friendly although my friend had to ask for a glass of water...twice. I had to ask for some type of sauce twice and I ended up getting some sort of berry couli - which was actually pretty good with the apple. I noticed that there was the odd problem around me also nothing major but could do better. 3 stars for service. Surroundings: This place is tiny if you were swinging a cat with a short tail it would be banging its head. About 12 seats inside and the same outside...why is the service not better when there were 2 of them? The awning outside is great and the nearer you are to the wall the nearer you are to the heater. Yes you can smoke out here but it is a little cramped and personally I enjoy smoking but don't want to inflict it on others. Still better to be outside as I object having to eat at the same pace as the person next to me just to save on room. It is pretty - it is cute - it is popular. I was advised that the owners are not there as much as they used to be - prices have gone up - quality has gone down a little. I would be happy to go again. read more

Alright, GAME OVER. I live in San Francisco, arguably THE foodie's paradise in the world and Juniors had me absolutely floored. I was in Dublin on business and was frankly unimpressed with my first 2 nights - all the Irish pubs in the Temple Bar area really looked no different than Irish pubs in the US and I had (temporarily) written off Irish cuisine as lackluster. Though my Irish counterparts had never heard of Yelp, I found Juniors on here and decided to give it a try with a colleague. Every part of the meal was divine. The peach and arugula salad with toasted walnuts was my choice for our shared appetizer and we quickly wished we had each gotten our own order. I got the sea bass afterwards, which came with simple add-ons (potatoes, grilled tomatoes), as well as a light garlic sauce. I only started eating fish a few months ago (and am therefore very sensitive to "fishy" fish) and I could have eaten this dish every night for a week. To top it off, the waiter was adorable butiswearthathasnothingtodowithit. Go to Juniors if you are in Dublin and discerning about food. read more

My husband and I visited this place once for brunch and one for dinner. We loved both visits, but dinner was our favorite. I think I would've loved brunch more had I gone with what everyone else seemed to be ordering -- the French toast. I was horribly jet-lagged and chose their Juniors Breakfast of Champions with eggs, streaky bacon, sausage, & black and white pudding. It was fine, I just think their french toast is where it's at. My husband's brunch of roasted pork belly over choucroute hit the spot. Their supper menu seemed to vary more but it's mostly delicious gastropub/nouveau-Irish. I loved their eclectic taste in music & their waiters were brilliant. read more

Experienced our first 'Irish Breakfast' (called the Champions Breakfast) here last Saturday. It came recommended from an Irishman, so I figured it had to be good. It was huge, and my wife and I split it with no problem. We both left full and for only 12.50 Euro. Came equipped with all of the standard fixings including sausage, black pudding, potatoes, beans, 2 poached eggs, bacon, and a tomato. The rest of the brunch menu looked awesome, and next time will try other things. Not sure about their lunch or dinner menu, but I will definitely go back for more. read more

Another Sunday, another brunch destination! Friends from work had been raving about Juniors for ages so I was excited about finally trying it. We arrived at 12.10 and it was already full with a 45 min waiting time for a table for three. I had heard this place was small but I had no idea it was so teeny. We sat in the car to kill time as they said they'd call when our table was ready, which they did right on schedule. When I say it was teeny I'm not kidding, I accidentally put my hand on some guys leg while taking my jacket off, how embarrassing! My friends ordered the salmon with poached eggs while I decided to be awkward and ask for the salmon with no salmon, so eggs florentine... I was very happy to be offered bacon instead of fish! Yes please! The food arrived and it was fabulous. I had a mini mountain of crispy bacon with loads of light baby spinach. Usually when I get poached eggs they are very soft so I was really pleased these had been in the pot a touch longer to make them nice and firm. There was also just enough hollandaise so my food wasn't swimming in it. I also ordered a glass of homemade lemonade. It was crisp and refreshing rather than overly sour. Great food, now I just have to try their pizza place around the corner! read more

My companions chose this place after quite a long day of intense work and semi-jet lag. We chose to sit outside, which given the 37ºF or so temperature and tiny heat lamps, seemed a bit ill-conceived. Our gracious wait server brought us each hot water bottles, and we discovered wool blankets behind our chairs. Once the bottle of wine arrived, we were snug as bugs. The meal was stellar. Even the appetizer portions were main-course sized. My companions had the quail (delicious as my share bites continued) while I chose the prosciutto and mozzarella plate, an incredibly fresh and delicious start kissed with honey and pomegranate seeds. My main course of Pork Rump was sublime, served with seasonal grilled vegetables and whipped roots. My dining partners chose rib eyes and sea bream. All were licking their lips with delight. We ended up closing the joint and, as a special treat, got moved inside for desserts and coffees (a surprisingly satisfying cheese cake, a Mississippi mud pie). A friend in the States said Dublin was in the midst of a 'culinary renaissance'. If more restaurants such as Juniors lurk among its pub-laden, mystical streets, I can't help but agree. read more

Wow! What a sambo! First time in this place today for a takeaway sambo. Had heard good reviews of the place and I wasn't disappointed. The place was rammed and the queue was out the door, literally. All the sandwiches are €6, so more expensive than most places. But what you get is sooooo worth it. I chose the chargrilled chicken sandwich. It was huge. There must have been AT LEAST 3 full chicken breasts in there, possibly more. That warm chicken along with the fresh bread, rocket and slow roasted tomatoes meant I was sufficiently fed to last me well into this evening. I shall be sampling the rest of the sandwiches in due course! read more

I've been here for dinner twice and was very pleased with the food on both occasions. I think my favorite part about this restaurant is that the menu changes quite a bit. It's the sort of restaurant you could easily go to once a month (if not more) and not get bored of the food. You can also tell that a lot of care goes into the menu selections. There is a good combination of standard fare along with some interesting dishes you don't see at every restaurant. The atmosphere is great, especially if you get a sunny day and can sit outside on the sidewalk. It is a tad bit cramped, but since the food is so good, you want to fit in as many people as you can. The staff was very friendly on both occasions that I was there and made sure that we had everything that we needed throughout the meal. I didn't have dessert either time that I went, so can't comment on how that is. If you're in the D4 area, this is definitely the restaurant I'd recommend trying out. read more

Not much I can say that hasn't already been said. Service is fantastic - friendly, efficient, and relaxed servers. Food is delicious. I had the clam linguine - cooked perfectly, and so tasty. I took note of the bottle of wine we drank, as I really want to get it again, so top marks for their wine. Don't be scared to sit outside - we sat outside on a cold and rainy August evening (only in Ireland!), and we were perfectly content . It is well heated, and they provide blankets. We didn't even need to keep our coats on. read more

Came by for Saturday brunch and had a great time! Really cozy shop with indoor and outdoor (heated) seating. We left our names and swung by Slattery's for a pint of Guinness before we received a phone call announcing our table was ready. Sat inside and I ordered a pint of prawns while my friend ordered the full breakfast. Both were delicious and service was excellent. Great things about prawns - the homemade mayonnaise dip (and I don't even like mayo) as well as the finger bath to keep your hands from smelling like prawns. Highly recommended! read more

Since the first time I went there - normally during lunch break at work - I found in juniors everything you expect for a nice lunch, fresh ingredients, big sandwiches, cool music, nice people, good price, great deco, clean, so I extremely recommend juniors. It's my favourite place for lunch and for breakfast. I need to try at night time. Recommendation: be patient when you go there cause you probably need to wait for a while and follow a queue but it will take a couple of minutes and then you will enjoy these great lunch. read more

This is San Francisco style eatery in Dublin! Laid back and easy going staff. No bookings only waiting list (thou you can always pop in into Slattery's next door for a pint when you are waiting). I've pretty much ate everything there and I can tell you its rock solid, fantastic food. Not so expensive for the locale (D4). Definitely you need to try bangers & mash (simple but you will not be disappointed) and their desserts (choose from mud pie or NY cheescake). read more

Love Juniors. Great menu. Nice staff. Quick service. You can pop next door for a pint if it's busy and they'll come in and get you or give you a call. It might be a bit on the small side for some but the food is good as is the winelist. Try the pint of prawns! read more

Love it! Breakfast is awesome, brunch is awesome, dinner - read other reviews but I think it's awesome 3 girls, different taste buds and everyone was happy, service was quick and extremely friendly - I usually go to farmer Browns around the corner but I can see myself switching it here and then :) read more

I met a friend here for lunch during the week. It was a rare sunny day so we were thrilled to have the option to sit outside - a very rare thing in Dublin! We had monster sandwiches; I had a BLT which was massive. There were three huge chunks of delicious bread, stuffed with millions (ok, not millions but lots) of rashers... real rashers (and really good rashers), lovely tomatoes and nice lettuce. Thankfully no soggy iceberg lettuce here. I'm sorry to admit that I couldn't even finish it and I rarely let food beat me. My friend had a yummy looking caprese panini full of the good stuff; fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil. You can't beat an old reliable like that. It's buzzy and friendly. Nice staff on hand who bring you a glass of water on arrival (bonus points in my book) and friendly guys over the counter if you can see over the piles of sambos. €6 per sandwich isn't cheap but it's definitely filling. Added extra: saw local celebrity Leo Cullen picking up his lunch in here. If it's ok for a rugby players appetite it's ok with me. read more

I have only had take away sandwiches from Juniors in the past and they have all been pretty amazing. Came here for brunch on Saturday. I had read some less favourable reviews of the brunch here but I think they were longer ago and that the menu has been updated since. I had fish cakes with poached eggs and hollandaise. It was delicious. Eggs perfectly cooked, hollandaise just right. The portion was gigantic! Himself had the huevos rancheros which were very tasty also. I helped myself to a healthy sample of the guacamole that came on top... super. It has inspired me to not be so afraid of putting too much lime in my own. It was super lime-y and really really good. The tomato sauce was nice and tasty, but not incredible. I'm not overly mad on how close the tables are to each other but it's my only real complaint, and a small one at that. Hurray for Juniors being so close to my house! I'll be back soon. read more

I lived in Dublin for two years and Juniors was my favourite restaurant in Dublin. It has a laid back atmosphere where the chefs and servers will remember you and greet you in a genuinely friendly manner. A small intimate restaurant where you will have to squeeze past other patrons to get to your seat and two of there seats are actually an enlarged window ledge. Lunch is excellant, rustic sandwichs served with a great side salad. Salad is normally an afterthought however Juniors puts time and effort into their salads. I don't like minestrone soup, I always used to eat the minestrone soup in Juniors. The filling for their chicken sandwich was cooked as you ordered, it was mardinated (in a basil & lemon aioli) and always tasted amazing. The dinner menu is simple but again cooked perfectly. The sausage and mash are really satisfying and tasty. The prawn pil pil is excellant and their steak(aged rib eye) is great too. I always used to eat the home made marshmallows with chocolate sauce and I never left Juniors hungry or unhappy. Junios is a restaurant that I prefer to Rolys or Shanahans. I think the chef here spent time learning his trade and travelled all around the world. It shows in how great the food tastes. Juniors lost a star for how close everyone is packed together, I really hope these guys open more restaurants in larger locations, they have a great product. read more

A very begrudging extra star because I hate being wrong but the Brunch I had in there the other day (think it was called the Champions Breakfast) was tremendous. Not overly cheap but well worth a shot read more
