I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by my visit here. The first time I stopped in for lunch…read moreand a coffee. The latte was a bit overpriced but good. What impressed me was the sandwich. So on my second visit I decided to try the eggs Benedict which was also better than expected. The meal wasn't large but it doesn't need to be, to be good. The muffins were good, the balance of sauce, egg, and ham was nice. And the potatoes on the side were good as well the latte was still overpriced but this time not good at all. I dont think the portafilter had been emptied properly before my drink. So, I will eat here again but no more coffee.

Is it me, or has Maia bought into its own hype? Best visited…read morefor summer tapas and a few glasses of good red, Maia is that uber-chic bistro executives and account managers go to hang their briefcases at the end of a long day. The decor is ultra trendy too, all white leather and dark woods with moody spot lighting. But, pull the glass doors open and take a seat at the tall table with a few friends, and you have an amazing place to while away summer happy hours... which could turn into dinner quite easily. The lunch menu is mostly hits like goats cheese salads or a spicy penne pasta that turns pale faces lobster red. Your server will probably take their time refilling glasses or bringing over needed napkins / cutlery, so take it easy, sip that wine, and relax.

What an absolute find this place was! We were driving past on our way to Belfast and saw this spot…read moreon a couple apps. I'm always a bit nervous when places only have a handful of reviews, but we gave it a go and the go was got! Parking is a bear in this area. The delightful town of Swords or "S" words as Mr. Connery taught us years ago when SNL wasn't lame, is just off the highway and the main downtown drive had a good number of fun spots up and down it. We ended up in a parking lot behind it and that worked well. The space is pretty tight with seating for maybe 20, and a dozen more spots outside. We sat out there on a lovely crisp sunny morning. The food for us 5 came out quick. The scones were amazing, the Brooklyn wrap and Brisket egg sandwich were phenomenal and the stars of the show - the Turkish eggs and the Crispy chicken benny. Those last two were lick the plate good and are something we'd go for again! The tea selection was the least impressive thing here and was still solid enough for my best half who loves her teas! Coffee was also quite good. Excellent portions as we shared everything with 5 hungry peeps and still left with extra. This was truly a master class in breakfast! The area is lucky to have a spot like this. Get here early and sit outside if it's nice!

As I perused the menu, deciding between the many all-day brunch items and the lasagne special, about six waitresses faffed around me, each asking whether I wanted to order/ had been served/ was ok. They were all friendly, but it seemed a bit disorganised as no one appeared to have sections. I was on my own so didn't mind too much but had I been trying to talk to someone, it may have got a little irritating. My food took a while to come, but it was really busy, and when it did I was happy. It was pretty standard, run of the mill fare, but tasty and to be honest I got exactly what I expected, so I can't complain. Overall, this place has a really nice atmosphere; casual with no airs and graces, it serves good food for a good price and friendly albeit a bit all over the place staff. I'll definitely be coming back.

The food and ambiance are fantastic!…read more The Starters: Goat Cheese Tartlette or the Tiger Prawns are perfect. The Entrees: Rack of Lamb, Sea Bass, and the Roast Barbary Duck are excellent choices. The Dessert: The Chocolate Gateux is the best (photo attached)! The only reason I did not give 5 stars: Dublin's nightlife stretches into the wee hours, and this restaurant closes at 11:00 p.m. Plus, the food service can be a little slow, but really, the Boulevard Cafe is a great choice and you will enjoy the experience.

It pains me to write a bad review but where it warrants it... Unfortunately, it is what it is!…read more Let's kick it off, the cafe was very quiet, with just one table being serviced when we arrived (probably should have taken that as a hint) anyhow... We ordered from their brunch menu and waited a long 30 minutes for the food to arrive and at that, no friendly apolog for the delay. Shame! What did arrive then was just not up to scratch... This shouted out to me that this is just one of those cafes thats decided to 'get by' on ripping off tourists and not focus on what they should stand for and satisfy the locals which in turn gets ye repeated business and awesome word of mouth referrals. The Full Monty (€12 - pot of tea was extra), was deep fried sausages (so again question why 30 minutes was needed to bring the food out) and bacon was missed from the line up on that plate... My order of eggs benedict with the menu promising poached eggs, came as two fried eggs and sliced ham, I mean Denny's (or some other branded) package chilly sliced ham, not exactly what I expected for a €12 eggs benedict! As a few more customers came in, the staff still didn't come to life, they dragged there feet about the floor and not an ounce of chirpiness or a dash of a smile from either of the 2 guys working. Instead some demands of 'what do you want' Been a super long time since I left an eatery without leaving a tip... I paid my bill to the cent and left..! My pics show the quality of my eggs benedict!

I highly recommend this local cafe for both drinks and food!
