Appatizers Bistro & Café in Dublin

02/04/2024: Layla's is a very nice place just outside the busier center of Dublin. It reminded us a lot of Sophie's in the center, apparently it's family ;) we got a good spot and the food was good for the price we paid. The shrimp croquettes were excellent, we shared them. Then the pasta venison, which was very good and the pizza with ham was also very tasty. For dessert we had the cheesecake, which was on the dry side. The service was friendly and fast. We had the first meeting of the evening so I had the impression that we had to leave before eight o'clock :) There is a nice bar downstairs in the hotel and the terrace upstairs at Layla is also an inviting place for a drink. All in all, I think this is highly recommended for Dublin because it is just off the beaten track and has a beautiful view of Dublin, the mountains and the characteristic houses around it. If you want to go to the movies, you can also do that in this hotel.

11/03/2024: Nice spot. Good food. Quite pricey. Staff is excellent. Cocktails are nice. Limited choices for kids. We went early in the evening so it wasn't busy, the atmosphere was still great.
