This is probably the biggest grocery store I've seen since moving to Dublin. It reminds me of a…read moreSuperstore from home (if there are any fellow Canadians you'll know what I'm talking about). Yes there are groceries and produces here, but there's also clothes, electronics, household items, books, etc. It's a big store and I've always been able to find what I'm looking for here. Prices at Tesco are pretty decent from what I've seen. Not quite as low as a Lidl or Aldi, but not as high as a Dunnes or Marks & Spencer. Since Lidl and Aldi has a lower selection it's nice to come to Tesco and do one stop shopping here. The Tesco is located on the upper floor of the shopping centre, but they have inclined flat escalators for shopping carts. There's a bathroom outside the Tesco on the upper floor that is clean and well maintained. Bus stops are located right outside, but for those with a car there is a car park here as well. I really like this Tesco and look forward to coming back here again.

Staff sometimes seem irritated when you ask them for help. The variety of food in the food hall…read moreleaves a lot to be desired. And the salad bar counter is a joke. It is basically a salad bar that won't serve salads. They expect you to use the self service salad area (which mostly consists of pasta and rice). That is not a proper salad. I was in shock when the staff behind the salad bar counter refused to make me a salad. Do they not have a concept of customer service? Such a terrible experience. They also need to stop using the slogan "always better value", it is anything but better value. Honestly I'd just rather avoid this place and go to Tesco for real value, real quality and real variety. Honestly there isn't much difference between Dunnes Stores and a Spar store. But at least a Spar store will make you up a fresh salad. Get it together.

They say it's the little things... and with me it certainly is! When I first discovered Nolan's…read moreFamily Supermarket in Clontarf I was swept off my feet. You can ask my friends - some of them were lucky enough to be dragged there to witness the greatness that is Nolan's (and I'm not kidding). For many months I stupidly did all my grocery shopping at Super Valu (an oxymoron if I ever heard one), but since chancing upon Nolan's I haven't looked back. This is a family-run supermarket in the posho area of Clontarf. There is one great thing about supermarket shopping in a posh neighbourhood - there is always a plentiful supply of gourmet food. Being quite the foodie myself, I have always been well impressed with Nolan's variety. Just a couple of examples for you... they sell lychee juice here! And mango and papaya and guava.... lychee is hands-down the best though... Their cheese section is extensive and impressive, and not too dearly-priced. They also serve a range of proscuitto, parma ham and salami, which makes Nolan's an ideal stop-off before a picnic on the Clontarf Promenade. The off-licence sells my absolute favourite new Zealand white - the Villa Maria - believe me, this is a lovely drop (as my grandfather would say). They often have this wine on special, and I saw it today for 11 euro (that is cheaper than it sells for in the Pacific, so that's saying something...) Nolan's are currently engaged in 'Store Wars' - check out the pic - logo just like Star Wars (my little brother would be impressed!) Store Wars is Nolan's promise that they will keep their prices equal to or lower than the likes of Tesco and Super Valu so people will patronise thier local independent family grocer over the mean and nasty chain superstores. I have always enjoyed my Nolan's shopping experience, and while the lighting and ambience aren't the best (but hey, it's a supermarket, not an art gallery), at the end of the day it feels good to be contributing (however minimally) to the decline of the Tesco giants. And just a quick piece of advice - you have to get your fruit and veg weighed and priced in the fruit section. If you take it straight to the checkout the checkout chick will have to go off and do it for you (a mistake you won't make twice!!)

I think Jo has said everything on Nolans that I would like to express. She has hit the nail on the…read morehead with the amount of gourmet food. Its also the nearest shop to me so therefore its my local supermarket. I would advise anybody who is out in Clontarf to check out Nolans and the Store Wars has certainly meant its great value when it would have had a reputation before as a pricey supermarket. Highly recommended.

Love this Aldi! It's spacious, well stocked and has a very convenient car park…read more The staff is nice and checkouts are fast. Never found it overly busy or fussy, which I really appreciate - who likes the hassle of almost having to fight your way through to the last bags of apples? Also, never witnessed any dodgy activities and edgy security guards like in other locations. They brought in a new range of plant-based milks, and a lot of "foodie" options, like really nice wholegrain and seeds toasts. So right now, other than good cleaning products and specific toiletries, Aldi caters for almost all my grocery needs. Not going the full five stars because I wish they had a bakery and nice sourdoughs, but maybe one day...

This Aldi has improved to its best. They brought in baskets. Convenient for minor shopping. They…read morealways have sufficient checkouts in operation, never wait too long as you would in Lidl on Moore street. The return policy is working with no trouble at all all the times. Have been returning stuff constantly and they never give you trouble, neither am I. Great advantage to this Aldi is that beside it you may find Campus petrol station, which is rather cheap than expensive. Staff is always super friendly. I love this Aldi staff. Good job everyone working in there ;-) Another great upgrade here happened as in all other Lidls and Aldis is wireless payment up to €15 with supported debit/credit cards. Love that.
