I often get my lunch to go and chill out in the park. It truly is the best value for money in the area and the food is extremely wholesome. You can get a bagel and a coffee for just under €3 before noon. Sandwiches work out at around €3.50. Along with coffee and tea, they also do fresh juices and smoothies. I am wrecking my brain to think of a place that offers the same value.

Roly's is a Ballsbridge institution and with the cafe they have struck gold. It's a lot more casual than the bistro and great for breakfast. They also do lunch and dinner but it's pretty busy then and the cafe isn't that big. You will generally find a lot of suits in the cafe at lunchtime as it's very popular with the people from the surrounding offices. They do have nice breads and takeout food as well, but if you can spare half an hour and can get a table, I would go for one of their cakes and a nice cup of coffee.

A group of eight us were in Dublin on business the week of March 21st and a colleague recommended…read morewe have dinner here. During the day it's a coffee shop but in the evenings its French bistro. I've lived in France for 4 years and have an affinity for French food. While I'm not a gastronomic expert, I think I have a fair palate and will say that Brownes does a very nice job. Our party was large enough that I could get a good broad perspective on their food. Each of us ordered a different meal and were very pleased with our food. Appetizers ordered included the duck confit, chicken pate, vegetable soup, and goat cheese salad. All looked very good and I personally found the pate to be delicious. Main courses included the bouef borgunion, pork chop, burger, seafood combination, and chicken special. The portions were of good size and we found the Sharaz wine we ordered to be very good. I would recommend coming here, the manager is French, very friendly and welcoming as is his staff.

The menu is a mix of salads and sandwiches, and there's a specials board inside. I had the omelette special and it was totally yummy. For dessert I had a strawberry cupcake - these are small tasty bakes, which I must say are a better version of the cupcake than the giant tasteless versions sold in most places. It was totally delicious. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. Lunch came to nearly 15 euro (main, coke, tea and a cupcake) so its not for every day, but for a treat its definitely yummy!

Most memorable moment? The education I received for wanting to order Sunny Side Up Eggs - which is…read morea reasonable request considering the Irish breakfast did say eggs of your choice. But this being Ireland, "your choice" includes scrambled, poached, or fried. "This ain't the Waffle House", said the server to this yankee. Not to be deterred, I asked which is the recommendation, they said to get the scrambled, which came with Irish butter concoction. Beautiful. The meal was huge - I would always recommend it as a morning meal. I thought the black and white pudding delicious and the sausages were just insanely huge in portion. Not a bad problem. I brought some back to the hotel to my daughter who was sleeping in (college student problem). I also went to the to go counter and ordered some porridge and pasty to go along with a flat white (which still has not hit San Francisco). Flat white is the right kind of coffee.

In fairness to it it wasnt that bad, i didnt like how sandwich ingredients kinda got mixed up together when they were making your roll, you'd end up with a bit of a rasher stuck inside your vegetarian sandwich, bleugh!

Nine-one-one has a lot of choice, as there are three main counters. The first is a juice and smoothie bar, the second is a made-to-order sandwich bar where you can get cold or hot sandwiches, paninis, wraps and other sandwichey type things. The pay area also houses tea, coffee and other beverages and their doughnut selection. Queues can be really long at peak lunch times during term and the best doughnuts (the Boston cream) sells out early, so if you have a hankering for one it's best to have it early in the day. Despite the addition of the hot chicken sandwich, the selection of possible fillings is a bit limited and somewhat lacklustre (they often leave the green bits in the tomatoes which is my personal pet hate!!) but the food is consistent and generally good. Out of terms hours are usually shorter
