Had the most amazing evening here with a specially curated wine tasting and food pairing for our mama group night out. The food was delicious and the wine selection from pinxtos was excellent...the meat and cheese boards and blue cheese bruschetta were particular highlights. Atmosphere was cozy and welcoming and the value for money was incredible! Will definitely be back for girls night outs!

My friend and I decided to stay local for some wine and cheese yesterday night, and we’re so glad we chose The Lovely Food Co. The place is fantastic, great wines menu, delicious cheese, and top-class desserts. I’ve also been here a few times for coffee and breakfast, and it’s always a wonderful experience. The owner and her husband are so warm and welcoming; they truly make you feel at home. A gem in Drumcondra. Highly recommend!

Friendly staff, acting quick. Service is quick. Coffee is nice. Abit small area with tables very close, but not a big deal.

Some different breakfast choices here and I had poached eggs, herby bacon crumble and potatoes - delicious! Excellent coffees and prices about average these days. Will definitely return..

From a tourist’s perspective—a nice cafe in a leafy neighbourhood away from the excitement and my fellow tourists of the inner city. Friendly staff, and both traditional (scones) and breakfast dishes that are a little more experimental—it shows how much love and thought is put into their menu. Thank you!

Love this cafe for brunch! The service is great and the food delicious. It would be great if there were more vegetarian/vegan breakfast options

I had heard from others that the food here was really good. Decided to try it this week but found it quite mediocre, nothing wrong with it. I had a tasty beef sandwich and my friend had a chicken salad. Both were grand but nothing amazing.
Followed with two flat white coffees and was really quite shocked to be charged an extra 1.60 for coconut milk. I expect to pay a little more but not 1.60.
Unfortunately, I doubt I will return.
Pleasant staff and OK service.

I wouldn't go so far to say the food or the company was "Lovely". I enjoyed my sambo, but my wife Bernadette was in a foul mood because I was rude to her sister Anne the night before. All in all lovely food maybe, but the company is as bad as Anne after 2 glasses of chardonnay.
