Today's mission was an important one.... chockies to go with wifeys birthday present. I was steered towards 'handmade chocolates for girls'.. an impressive looking box with a suitable price tag... still, they were good and appreciated (so worth it at any cost!). The place is well worth a visit!

It was delicious! The coffee was good too. When leaving I ordered a chai latte to go and I have to admit it was the worst chai latte I've ever had so I wouldn't recommend that one ;) The rest is great. The place was hopping when I was leaving which I usually look at as a great thing! Definitely worth a go again I'd say!

Parking in Donnybrook is a bitch... and that's being nice about it!…read more However, there are many really good reasons why you would put the time and effort into finding a spot to rest your wheels - noteworthy among them is the Greenery. We piled in, all 16 of us for an office lunch last week, the place was busy with a good atmosphere and despite the fact that nearly all the tables were full, our meals came out quickly and correct for all. It's nice when that happens, you aren't worrying about clock-watching and only having so much time before you have to be back in the office. I had the burger as the pulled pork had sold out (gutting); the burger, as with all the mains dishes, was HUGE. I'm a big guy, I like food, I will always clear my plate (because otherwise mommy would be mad... who me? issues?....not at all). I struggled here, I only just finished the mountainous meal served with the slightly too greasy fries... but finish I did.... because I'm a good little boy. Overall it was tasty, not so much so that I'll rant and rave and promise to be back next week... but good enough and I certainly won't object to going back! Oh, I got to try a couple of the wings as well - they were VERY good!

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.

With this in mind I set out in 2015 to find Brendans Cafe for a full Irish Breakfast. On Brendans journey he is said to have encountered a sea monster....on my journey a man in a sleeveless jacket menacingly drove a forklift truck along the path in front of us like something from Mad max. The voyage ended in the sitting down in this unassuming haunt for a very enjoyable breakfast set in the heartland of old school Dublin. They actually serve Brennans batch bread with the breakfast aswell as a shot of Orange juice to wet the whistle and a mug of tea/coffee. Places like Brendans Cafe are great, it will never try to be anything that it is'nt and it will never need to either. It is more than enough, the large breakfast at €8.50 is a real charming plate of food and I have to say that its refreshing to visit the kind of Cafe that has been doing the same thing right for quite a long time and hopefully will continue to fry up a storm for many years to come. Brendan even said "Well done" when I paid. There was something nice about the whole experience and I will be making a voyage here again in the near future no doubt.

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!

In the morning, its just a quick stop and grab (grande latte) and then the odd time I stay for lunch (they do some really nice paninis and a fantastic club sandwich) I've been going for almost two years and the service is what really sets it apart form the rest, plenty on the menu and good for a lunch meet up!

No, your eyes aren't fooling you -there's another Cafe Java in Dublin…read more Settled on Shelbourne Road for more than a year now, this incarnation of Cafe Java maintains the same quality of tasty lunches, desserts and coffee. The single table outside is on an awkward corner, which makes for uncomfortable pedestrian-encounters when having a coffee outside, The spicy chicken wrap is still my first love, I recommend ordering it hot with a cold soda ... heaven. If there's no time to sit in the small restaurant (or if there's no seats, which is more often the case), order it cold to go with a fresh baked cookie. Java's till-side cold case stocks a few wrapped versions of the sandwiches available in-shop, but hurry down as they run out quickly (except, strangely, for the tuna sandwiches).

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.

Winnie's is tucked into a neighborhood and a little bit out-of-the-way but it is well worth the trip.

Who knew wool could be so lovely. You half to try it!
