They're really good at explaining what each remedy does and really seem to care about their clients. They even have taste testers in store - something you don't find in most health food stores! The other day it was a tartlet with mushroom in it - ewww sounds weird, but it looked nice enough. I declined to try...

I just love me a good health food store. When I stumbled upon Restore I was pretty delighted. I try…read morereally hard to take care with what I put in or on my body. Restore not only carries food but also vitamins, supplements, and personal care items. Sweet! There is an obvious focus on natural and/or organic products and while these can sometime cost a pretty penny, Restore has a lot of options to pick and choose from. Their selection of healthy food items rivals the best. If you ever wondered where people by hemp oil and wheat grass, this is the place. When I went in the woman working was a little in my face - meaning she asked several times if I needed help or if I was looking for anything in particular even though I said I was just looking around. I know she was just doing her job but come on. I bought a load of stuff anyway, and managed to do it all by myself!

Thanks so much. Would definitely recommend

However, the hop sack,which has been on the go for years is still one of its best and busiest shops. Back in the 80's. When it was nay impossible to get soy milk anywhere in Dublin the HS was there. So great for those of us with milk allergies. Despite being a modest sized shop the Hop Sack has all you health food needs, from gluten free foods to essential oils. Staff are attentive, helpful and highly knowledgeable. They ordered in stuff for me when I asked. Also check it out around easter, as they assued me they were one of the cheapest places to get Green & Blacks easter eggs this year.

The Health Store is one of those Irish brands doing a decent job swimming upstream against larger…read moreUK competitors like Holland & Barrett (or its Irish partner, Nature's Way). Stepping in, the store lacks the charm of slightly better developed brands like Nourish, or the ernest seriousness of the more local single serving shops like Down to Earth in town. Thankfully, its well stocked shelves make up for the missing pomp and circumstance; this tiny shop on the lower level of The Square is bursting with vitamins, foods and alternative treatments for mind, body and wallet. Er, spirit. I was pleased to find the brand of natural peanut butter I usually buy in town is here along with an expanded line of the brand's other butters (almond, hazel... lug) -but priced the same as I'd get in the City Centre. The woman behind the counter on my visit was amiable, happy to help and ready with a few pieces of somber advice on the vitamins I was browsing. Its genuine advice, since The Health Store put its employees through a training program recognised by the British National Association of Health Food Stores (NAHS) and the Irish Association of Health Food Stores (IAHS) -something I didn't know before going in, and appreciate as a customer.

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.

There's no shortage of health food and natural supplement shops in this city, and I'll be looking…read moreto those before revisiting Health Matters. On a hunt for L-Glucosamine (or something like it) I dropped in here on a weekday morning looking for a small bottle of the stuff. Puzzling over the shelves for a minute, I asked a saleswoman for help... and have regretted it ever since. Brusque and condescending, she rolled out a long list of why my choice was wrong, asking me sharply what *was* I thinking and clearly whoever suggested it to me was uneducated in supplements (I wasn't winning any points, either). I was shocked to be spoken to this way in a shop, and numbly accepted whatever bottle of stuff she gave me instead (it's been put in the hall closet should I ever need... what IS that stuff, anyway?). €12 lighter and feeling quite harangued I walked out of the shop, vowing never to return. Worked out well so far.
