The Lovely Food Co, menu in Dublin

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.

Great coffee and treats in the morning when I got off the train on the way to Drumcondra.

Lovely food for breakfast and quick service.

Stopped for a takeaway sandwich while on the run. Ordered a BLT…tasted ok but it was the poorest BLT I’ve ever seen and at €10.95 seriously wasn’t worth it. Won’t be in any hurry to return.

We only stopped by for a glass of wine, but to our surprise, we ended up having one of the warmest and most welcoming experiences we’ve had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel at home — friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. Even though we didn’t eat, they treated us like regulars. They recommended a fantastic wine, shared stories about the place, and made conversation that felt natural and sincere. It’s the kind of place that reminds you true hospitality still exists. The atmosphere was charming and cozy — one of those spots that stays with you. We’ll definitely be coming back, next time to enjoy the food as well. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

Really nice wine, great food, great service (s/o to our waiter Valerio, really sound guy who was super friendly throughout the night!)

Absolutely brilliant expierience, best staff! best service!! best food!! would definitely recommend to a friend!!
