Salveta Carmine in Dublin

09/03/2025: This is a brilliant oasis amongst the madness that is Temple Bar. If you want a chilled drink or dinner, this is the place. It's lovely to be within such a great cultural venue, really buzzy. The food was ace as was the wine. Also had beers on tap. Friendly staff. Somewhere it's easy to spend a few hours eating, drinking and talking. Highly recommend.

09/03/2025: The IFI's in-house cafe is a convenient downtown option, especially for filmgoers. Their brunch menu now includes avocado toast, which, while promising, needs refinement. The avocado would benefit from being mashed and seasoned with salt, pepper, lemon, and oil, and the bread should be upgraded for a more satisfying experience.
