Salt Café in Dublin

Supermarket and takeaway. It's not cheap but it has very good quality

Came home to Dublin for Christmas and was excited to visit the Avoca cafe again for a taste of home, with a friend from abroad. However, much to our disappointment, the service was subpar and the food was rather average. After waiting ages to be seated and then having things missing from our meal, we decided to order a scone and brownie bite for dessert. After a 15 min wait, we were informed that both were unavailable, only to find them on our bill when they tried to charge us. The waitress seemed hesitant and confused about what we had ordered and received. The rather unprofessional crossed out receipt we were given after paying - with an incorrect total amount - sums up the service perfectly. I always advertise Avoca as the best place in Dublin for Irish food and goods, so I’m very disappointed to see how much the overall experience has deteriorated.

I’m sure Avoca means heavenly in some language. Because that dining experience was just that. Yes hunger is a great sauce and I was hungry, but the food they served up today was exquisite. Seafood linguine, burgers, amazing pancakes and superb soup. All in a lovely setting, with very attentive and pleasant staff. Sorry no pic of the soup, like I said I was hungry and that got downed before my phone came out. It was delish. I will be back again, and again, and again for sure.

Best food in Avoca Monkstown 🥰

Excellent fresh food - served in an attractive restaurant by good staff

Lovely staff, great food, I do recommend to all .

Food was fantastic, service was fairly poor, needed to ask for menus, tables ordered after us served ahead and for same dishes. Seems a bit haphazard in terms of service.

What would you do without Avoca, Sundays won't be the same. love this place. See you next Sunday!

Yummy stuff guarenteed, pricey yes but that,s the address really. Always popular and often busy. Great atmodphere and shopping experience.

Lovely assortment of goods & food, as is usual for Avoca outlets. However, the service was appallingly slow. There's a sign asking potential customers to wait to be seated in the dining area. Nobody was monitoring this! I saw a number of people leaving, due to being left standing there, during the 10 minutes I was waiting for my dining companion.
