    4,95

    Place looks ok. Bar style with loud 90'music (Whitney Huston) rich menu, at least seems like it. Buffet style. I order scrambled eggs and baked beans. Scramble eggs looks like Lego blocks. I lost taste. I never ate worst eggs. I never made worst eggs. I never saw worst eggs. Beans were ok. You know why? Because you just cannot screw something that goes in the can. Did you ever wonder how taste nothing? I know. Go and try, try those "eggs". Also, I payed 4,95 for this. They should pay me for eating this. Thanks for the Burger King in front.

    Stuffing my face, ready for take off !

    Terminal 1 - Dublin Airport. After having passed security the options for food/ drink are really quite limited. I do usually end up in the Garden terrace as (I think) it's the only place to get a hot breakfast. And they have plenty of seats (inside plus outside) Portions --- BIG, Price --- Bit expensive, Atmosphere --- Hectic, Food --- It's food Sit, fill your belly and hope (no...know!) the food can only get better once you are abroad.

    Once upon a time clearing security at Dublin International Airport any time before 7 and getting a good, hot breakfast off the main concourse felt like a treasure hunt. Nowadays The Garden Terrace, on the second level of The Loop's shopping street, makes breakfast easy with a hot bar serving full Irish (complete with salty rashers and soaking mushrooms) on the long trek to the end of Pier D. My only question is: what took them so long? A dry boxed sandwich and scalding take away coffee from O'Briens is no way to kick off an international adventure. Relax in the moodily lit restaurant in your own booth or at one of the readily available tables, chew slowly and mentally prepare for the flight ahead. For those with a proclivity for the odd cigarette The Garden Terrace also offers an outdoor smoking area which opens at 6am, a shocking luxury in this age.

    Smoke salmon salad. Very nice
    Cristin L.

    Not a bad spot for an airport bar & restaurant. Of course its overpriced, but the standard of food was really good. And there was lots of it. I got the smoked salmon salad and there was masses of it. Staff were pleasant enough too.

    Chips and bulmers !
    Annie S.

    Finally manage to book a more relaxed flight so that i was able to avail of a nice chilled pint of bulmers and a tasty portion of chips. They changed their menu slightly and focused more on allergies and glutenfree item which is a big plus on my behalf . My only wish on that day would have been that it wouldnt have been raining and i could have enjoyed my pint on the terrace but well lets hope for next time !

    Irish breakfast

    Just tried this place once and in general it was OK. It is comfy place with plenty of seating and a garden area at the back. I used to go actually to burger king, because I always found the price here expensive... But if you have been to the terminal recently Burger King is closed... So I went to The garden Terrace to have breakfast. I found it strange that you need to queue and they serve it on your plate very quickly. No table service apparently? It was 11 euros and it was not bad. But the coffee was awful. No milk could fix it. I should have had tea instead. We got a table at the back of the room in front of the garden area, but inside. Many people come from other parts of the terminal only to smoke in there.

    Steak sandwhich
    Raegen S.

    i was so excited to try this place in the airport since it looks very nice and had a cool atmosphere compared to the rest of the stuff in the airport. i was even more excited when i got the look at the steak sandwich... as you can see for the photo i uploaded it looked awesome! my excitement ended after my first bit of the sandwich. the steak was cold and the meat was grizzle. the chips were not half bad but i came for more substance. to add insult to injury (and remove 2 more stars) the steak made me sick!!! i was up the entire night with food poisoning. the only reason i would go back to this place would be to drink i will not touch their food again.

    Fish and Chips and Chicken Avocado Club sandwich. Both came with fries.
    Kimberly M.

    I was shocked to see that the Garden Terrace only had 2.5 stars before I came here. For airport dining, we had a wonderful experience. It was quick and efficient service with great food. It was nice to be able to have a nice meal before catching a flight. Burger King was across the way from this restaurant and I would much rather enjoy an alcoholic beverage and eat fish and chips before my flight than have a fast food chain.

    Decent price for a good breakfast and coffee! I would go again..

    Get some fresh air. Grab a pint. Last pit stop for smokers. The Garden Terrace is a great spot to relax before hopping on your flight.

    Alrighty, so I wanted to update this after having lunch, dinner, and breakfast here…read more I would highly recommend this place for breakfast or dinner. Their service was superbly better than what I had experienced during lunch. Staff was friendly and consistent with their service. They also offered quite the variety of food. I would still highly recommend against coming for lunch. However, I definitely enjoyed both food and service during their breakfast and dinner. Therefore, I have re-evaluated my rating from a 2-Star to a 4-Star.

    We booked a room at the Carlton Hotel for our last night in Dublin as we had an early morning…read moreflight. The hotel website had an option to pre-book a Prix Fix dinner with reservations (required!) which seemed like a good idea at the time as this was the end of a long trip and we had an early flight the next morning. The restaurant had not been informed of our reservation, or our pre-purchased three course meal. The hotel website had not passed the information to reception or the restaurant. We rescheduled with reception when we check in, but still the information had not been passed on to the restaurant. We asked the waiter who seated us to please check with reception to confirm and he said he would 'contact them when it is time to cash-out'. Glad we decided at hotel check-in to not leave our credit card information and instead 'pay as we go'. This blase' reaction did not give us a warm fuzzy feeling and makes me wonder why a hotel chain as large as the Carlton is still using paper reservation sheets at reception, AND why, if reservations 'are required' when pre-booking, that information does not get electronically sent to the restaurant booking system. Unless there is not one, which it seems there is not. Our meals included starters, mains and dessert. We had the caesar salad and soup of the day, leek and potato. The salad itself was fresh, with large pieces of lettuce, bacon and toast sized croutons. The dressing tasted like mayonnaise. The soup was tasty if a bit salty, even for my SO who loves salty foods. It came with a small slice of tasty, hearty brown bread and a crusty roll and butter. A large bottle of tap water was placed on the table and replaced when empty. Our mains were Salmon with peas and chicken breast with zucchini ragout. Both are served on a hill of mashed potatoes and sweet potato puree is smeared across the plate. Both mains were well cooked and tasty, simple food, aside from the decorative presentation. The peas were firm and the mashed potatoes good. Both ordered the brownie which has a cake like texture, and is surprisingly, a bit dry. There is a sauce dolloped along two sides and some whipped cream. One sauce was strawberry, the other we think is lemon. This brownie needs more than just a couple of dollops. A scoop of vanilla ice cream perhaps? Not sure how large the restaurant is as we were shown to a table right inside the door, along with other guests arriving for an early dinner. The waiter was friendly and service well timed. When we checked out he had confirmed our pre-paid dinner option and only drinks were charged. By the way, the Prix Fix dinner price on the menu is a bit lower than the price we paid on line.

My friend ate a side of onion rings. The roast beef was cooked to perfection, very tender and juicy. It is pretty unsalted, which I like, but my friend said it wasn't enough. The side of rich, brown gravy made up for it adding the right amount of saltiness to the beef. Carrots and peas were a tad soft, but flavorful and good mashed potatoes. I wasn't wild about the whole fried ones. The Yorkshire pudding was pretty dreadful and seemed to be backed hours prior because it was rubbery and chewy. The chicken curry was good, a little sweet, but good amount of curry flavor. Chips and rice were great. The onion rings were good. Not stellar, not bad. Just solidly good! Guinea's was perfect in terms of being served at the right temp and they have half pints, which made me happy! This place was very, very loud. It was distractingly loud, but if you want sports and good beer, you are in the right spot. Lots of families with little ones for dinner. Service was good.

You DON'T serve beans with a traditional Irish breakfast. You may have it as an option but it's not given as standard. That's how you determine if the place is a genuine greasy spoon or not. In my working class Dublin opinion. This place does not disappoint. I ordered sausage, black pudding and egg. It came with tea and toast and was a fiver. Perfect. They had a full Irish for just a couple Euro more, but this was perfect for what I wanted. Great characters in here. So a good place for people watching. The staff are very friendly. The person who I think must be the owner seems to do the rounds walking around asking if everyone is OK and making small talk to the regulars. This is a wonderful thing that rarely happens in Dublin anymore. They have booths and tables. It is small enough so tables and booths are quite close to each other. My only gripe is the toilets. They aint the prettiest but they seem to be fairly clean, just not well maintained. But hey, I'm not having a piss in Brown Thomas. I am having a piss in a greasy spoon in Finglas Village. Looking forward to coming back. Anyone in the area needs to visit. [Also, apologies for the picture. I was so excited that I ate most of it before I even thought about taking a good picture.

The complimentary breakfast was definitely the star. I'd say this was the 2nd best breakfast I've experienced (Switzerland takes top billing). Hot items included scrambled & fried eggs, ham & bacon. Being in Ireland I expected potatoes- alas there were none. Bread, croissants, cream cheese, Brie, smoked salmon, yogurts, fresh fruit, granola & cereals also offered. You are allowed to choose one item off the special should you choose. If we'd known at the beginning we'd ordered one but were so satiated with what we had there was no room in our tummies for anything more! All in all we are pleased with our 12 hour stay here.
