    Been there so many times on my way to college, it reminds me of Portugal and Brazil's padarias. It has a range of sandwiches fillings that won't find anywhere. It's the place to go on your lunchtime. Love the calm atmosphere and their food obviously. Perfect stop if you want to grab a coffee and sandwich.

    Pastrami Melt on rye bread. Was fab!

    If this is what New York Deli's are like then I need to plan a trip to NY very soon! This was my first time here after having it bookmarked to visit for a long time. I just happened to be passing by and had to go in! Boy was I not sorry. The sandwiches here are crazy good! I don't think I've ever seen a sandwich that looked so good or one which had so much meat in it for that matter! We found ourselves a seat and then went up and ordered our sandwiches and paid at the counter. For a sandwich and drink it came to €8. Not bad, pretty standard for a sandwich and drink in a Dublin coffee shop. Myself and my friend both went for the pastrami melt. We had the choice of white, tomato or rye bread. My friend got the white and I opted for the rye. They were served with a little side portion of cold pasta which was cooked to perfection and a really nice extra touch. The sandwich itself was a beast of a thing. The bread was soft, the pastrami was tender and salty (almost melt in the mouth), complimented beautifully by a kick of mustard and sharpness of pickles. The sandwich also consisted of melted cheese and spinach. I could feel myself fading after the first half and my friend couldn't finish all of hers! The surroundings were pleasant and the place had a warm atmosphere. An older gentleman greeted us with a smile and the staff were friendly. I will definitely be back and I would absolutely recommend. Forget your o'briens and your other mediocre cafés. If you want a REALLY tasty & generous sandwich made with quality ingredients then go to the pig and heifer. You won't be disappointed. Well I lie.. You might be a bit disappointed with yourself when you fail to finish one of their monster sandwiches!

    Great lunch spot during the week - there is usually a queue but it moves quickly. You can go for the usual selections but there are a few unusual ones called Hot Colin or Mile High Club ;) Salad bar looks lovely too! If you're lucky to have a weekday afternoon to while away, nab the seat by the window for great people watching while catching up on the latest novel!

    I had lunch here a couple of weeks ago and it was a great spot. Modelled on an American style deli, there area few Pig and Heifer's located around Dublin. The one on City Quay is bigger and roomier than most of the others, which obviously makes it a more relaxing place to eat lunch. The clientele is mostly offices, which again doesn't come as a surprise considering the location it's in. I went for the chicken, melted mozzarella, pesto and Italian dressing option on a bap and it did not disappoint. They also have soup and salad options and other things like meatballs, as well as a great selection of wines by the glass. I also noticed that they run tapas evenings too, which I think could work really well. The food was great and the Italian staff were really friendly so I will definitely be returning.

    First meal in Dublin! Really good Reuben Sandwich but the side pasta was a bit weird. Very friendly staff!

    Its a bit of a walk from trinity, but the food makes up for it. The pastrami melt is really good.

    Best cafe mocha I've had in Dublin and thus far the best sandwich…read more Take away venue only. Staff was friendly. There are several items I want to try. I had the brisket sandwich as the chicken melt was sold out, so I'll be back, but be aware and order ahead if you are going to get there late.

    I started a job not too far from 147 Deli and my coworker said 147 Deli for a good lunch spot…read more I came here last week and got the Reuben sandwich and a bowl of tomato soup. The staff were friendly and it was busy, but not too full. I came in a little after 130pm, and I think I'd been in a bit earlier there would have been longer lunch queues. If there is a queue it's worth the wait. I haven't had a Reuben sandwich probably since I left Canada in 2016 (Reuben's are American, but you can get them all over Canada too). Dark rye bread, corned beef, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, dill pickle, and Russian dressing. It was delicious. Pickles aren't a staple on Reuben sandwiches, but I love pickles and was happy with this addition. It adds a nice little tang, along with the dressing. The soup was warm and delicious with a bright tomato flavour. Soup changes daily. Portions were quite large. I just got the soup and sandwich and when I ordered I wondered if it would be enough. It was. My tummy was quite happy after lunch here. I'll be back for sure. Or maybe I'll just order in, because they have free delivery in D1.

    Good Food Gallery is a quality food store with a restaurant at the back. If you're addicted to good…read morefood, come here for your fix. Jars of rocket pesto, packets of nuts, seeds and dried fruits, bottles of fine wine, sumptuous carrot cake and barrels of stuffed olives tempt the healthy palette. I bought a large packet of Kettle Chips (hand cooked potato chips with "absolutely nothing artificial") for €3.50. An expensive way to guiltlessly munch on crisps. My aunt and I split the beef casserole and the salmon (€11.95 each). All mains come with a fist-full of vegetarian pasta, beetroot and coleslaw. I also treated myself to a small tub of feta-stuffed olives. Yum! As we sat in the sunshine sipping our coffees (with soy milk if you please), we discussed the health benefits of tannins (any excuse for that caffeine hit or to uncork a nice bottle of red) and marvelled at the vibrant colours of the pansy violets that peered out at us from the cutest little flower pots.

    hidden down a wee lane in the heart of Kilcullen site the Good Food Gallery…read more we stopped by for lunch last week, Dad had the thai curry (very coconutty and fresh, no veg but served with rice), I had the open chicken sandwich (tasty, not too big but filling enough) and Junior had a sausage roll (not the best, soggy puff pastry, microwave Job). Overall the atmosphere is relaxed, the surround inviting and there are lots of interesting pics to look at (and buy). Minus points for forgetting to deliver the coffees we ordered (the place wasn't busy!) but other than that a nice wee spot for a bite to eat.

    A short walk from the Trinity College Campus sits a triangular, brick and mortar (literally)…read moretriangular "NY Style (sandwich) Deli". With just a few small tables and chairs outside, the standing room only interior is a picture of economy. These were my first impressions as customers steadily streamed inside to place orders and then leave to wait for their sandwich or sit a bit. My eyes locked into the pastrami melt sandwich on the menu and I waited my turn, albeit a bit nervously, to place my order with one of the three gents who were slinging the sandwiches. All the ingredients in the deli case looked fresh, from the lettuce, meats, cheese, etc, to the types of bead on top of the case, like the focaccia. Each sandwich is made fresh, and once assembled, is pressed to warm the roll and melt the cheese. My pastrami melt arrived loaded with the meat, and all the ingredients enhanced by the deli mustard made for a great tasting sandwich. It's probably the best pastrami sandwich I've tasted in a long while. Every employee was patient and helpful, and I found this to be quite an effort since customers kept placing orders without much of a break. The Pig & Heifer is definitely worth a repeat visit.

    This shop was close to our hotel and decided to stop by for breakfast sandwiches before starting…read morethe day. The shop is small but the food is good! If you want a good sandwich that is made to order, tasty and made by nice and friendly staff, give them a try!
