    lopsided, sorry
    Yvonne B.

    All genius marketing and controversy aside, you need to do something right for costumers to come back. The nice people of Lovin Dublin crowned their pancakes the best in town so I was really looking forward to them. The café is below ground level and part of a guesthouse on NCR. I received a warm reception when I arrived, big smiles all around and was seated straight away. I almost changed my mind and picked asparagus salad with eggs cause that just sounded devine but then stuck to my original craving and ordered pancakes. I should have gone with the salad. The pancakes were very dense, not fluffy at all. They came with some berry coulis and mascarpone but there was only coulis between the first two pancakes, making this a very dry affair after the first few bites. So either the chef had an off- day or my taste in pancakes is questionable. Either way, I'll try the asparagus salad next time.

    Delicious caramelised banana and Nutella pancakes, need to come back for the eggs florentine! Also try the Moosiachtos so sweet

    Nice chilled decor

    So I got a groupon for the white moose café which was the main incentive I had to get a lunch here! I have to say I was quite pleasantly surprised with the food we received! I got the fish finger sandwich which consisted of monkfish cheek covered in bread crumbs on a Waterford Blaa with some lovely Dijon sauce and a side of Chips with a lovely little tub of ketchup. It was tasty and definitely worth the 6 euro we essentially payed for it! My girlfriend got the ham hock sandwiches which came with mustard and rocket on a Blaa also. We both left pretty stuffed and satisfied and along with the meal we got two lattes which were incredibly tasty and refreshing! Honestly I was very split on how to rate this but decided to go purely on my own experience here with the amount we paid. The reason I would dock a star would be the emptiness of the restaurant and how the waitress wasn't very attentive mainly because she seemed incredibly bored and there was literally no one in the place but us.

    full irish, it was quality

    My local area is a bit starved of quality places to eat so a friend and I thought to give this place a go. I really enjoyed it. We had a white moose hot chocolate each which was gorgeous. it tasted like white chocolate and had very drinkable caramel at the bottom. I would have drank a bucket of it. I had a full irish breakfast with toast, scrambled eggs, bacon, baked beans, sausage and fried mushroom. It was all great though the toast that came with it i felt a bit too hard and crunchy. The decor of the resturant is very nice and i definitely want to return at my earliest opportunity.

    This place has been on the bookmark list for a while and finally got the chance to go last week. It did not disappoint, and took me by bit of a surprise. The place is lovely and quant inside, I was expecting a bit more rough and ready judging by their Facebook account. Staff are super attentive, offering free tea refills with our food. The menu is extensive, and I'd go seriously hungry as their portions are huge! I didn't have room for pancakes, but it gives me an excuse to go again! It's so well priced, with two huge breakfast, coffee and endless tea totally less that €17. I reckon it'd be worth a visit for lunch time too judging by their standards and how inexpensive they are too

    As a new local to Phibsborough I've been coming to white Moose for the past 12 months, the food is exceptional, the staff are chatty and friendly and they are also dog lovers. Definitely worth a visit for brunch. My favourites are the yoghurt, porridge and the avocado and eggs.

    Big fan of white moose and visit almost every weekend / midweek. Food is always to a really high standard and the staff are great - welcoming to kids also. They take feedback well and I'm delighted to see them extending to an evening menu. Well done white moose, keep it up!

    See all

Workers from the nearby offices relax within the jocular interior alongside viewers-of-the-gallery, reveling in the contemporary surroundings made up of buoyant wooden floors and stylish white walls, all of which come together to create a modish environment that nicely compliments the creative milieu of the overall gallery in which to enjoy your tea or lunch break. Tea, coffee, a choice of cakes, quiches, tasty antipasta as well as salads are all on offer, all the selection revealed having been written up in chalk on the blackboard above the cashier counter. This is certainly a laudable place for lunch, and glasses of wine are sold to further your enjoyment. These, together with the actuality that it is the official eatery of an illustrious gallery all affix the café with much significance. However, being fundamentally located in the basement it does feel a smidgen poky and boxed in and whilst the food is sufficient, it is not startling.

I've no doubt the famous scribe himself would have felt right at home here. The interior has an authentic ramshackle feel with a dusty old piano, birdcage and various other bric-a-brac. A red rope prevents punters from exploring upstairs sadly. The cafe serves up a variety of no-nonsense fair, with homemade soups, tasty sandwiches and cakes all on offer at reasonable prices. I always admire somewhere brave enough to serve imaginative soup flavours outside of the crowd-pleasing chicken and vegetable bracket. A steaming bowl of Garlic soup was the ideal antidote to the damp afternoon outside on my visit. Cobalt also boats a lovely leafy-green garden area, the perfect urban escape if the weather is forgiving.

One of the hottest days of the year and we were dragging around a suitcase and in desperated need of a coffee having been awake since 6am. (Surely flights shouldn't go that early?) So in we went. It was a light, high-ceilinged room painted a refreshing Frenchish shade of light blue. Large plants in the corners, a piano, some interesting paintings and little flowers gave the place a vibe which was both elegant and relaxing. We only ordered coffee, however there was a range of yum-looking food available too, as well as an outside garden to enjoy it in. The price was reasonable, the service friendly and we were by no means rushed out afterwards. Will happily return.

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.
