21/08/2026: An absolute gem in Dublin’s food scene! Lovely Food Company delivers a flawless dining experience—impeccable service, a warm ambiance, and cuisine that sings with freshness. But the real showstopper? The wine list. Curated with obvious passion, it features exceptional Irish pours and hidden European gems, with a sommelier who guides without pretension. Every glass elevated our meal to artistry. Don’t miss the pairing menu—it’s pure magic. Five stars, without hesitation. Already planning our return!

17/09/2026: Went to Rudy’s Restaurant in Blanchardstown Village with my son and a friend, after she’d very kindly given him an eye exam. We arrived to find the place not exactly bursting at the seams, yet were immediately asked the apparently crucial question: “Do you have a booking?” We didn’t. As the afternoon went on, I noticed virtually everyone who came through the door was asked the same thing. This became increasingly intriguing. Maybe there’s a secret menu if you say yes. Perhaps a bookcase swings open and you’re escorted into another restaurant entirely, where the cocktails are free and nobody ever asks if you’ve made a booking. Next time I’m saying yes just to see what happens. 🤔 Anyway, we were seated and onto the important bit. I had the halibut, which was excellent. My friend had a salad, displaying considerably more restraint than I did, and my son ordered the wings. Now, the wings came with something of a reputation. My friend informed us that her brother reckons they’re the nicest wings in Dublin. The way this was explained made it sound less like one man’s opinion and more like an ancient piece of Blanchardstown folklore, passed down through the generations. My son put the legend to the test. Apparently, the prophecy holds up. By the end of the meal, everyone announced they were completely tapped out. No more food could possibly be consumed. Naturally, I ordered dessert. I suggested we get one to share, which sounded wonderfully restrained and civilised. Unfortunately, everyone else actually meant it when they said they were full. So I shared it with myself. It was a difficult assignment, but somebody had to do it. Great food, great cocktails, a really enjoyable afternoon and definitely somewhere we’ll be back to. Although next time, as far as Rudy’s is concerned, I absolutely have a booking.

13/09/2026: What a little gem this place is! We went for brunch on a Sunday morning and had a great experience altogether. The food was delicious, service was prompt and friendly, we well definitely go back to try the other items on the menu. Keep up the good work, guys!

26/08/2026: This was the worst restaurant I've ever been to in Dublin. My boyfriend and I went there excitedly to celebrate my birthday, but the food was terrible. The dishes were very expensive, but not tasty or fresh. The sushi and hot pot weren't authentic either. My experience was awful, and they even got the prices wrong. It was a truly awful experience.

25/08/2026: Extremely kind service, much appreciated. Ramen was delicious!

18/09/2026: Came across this place by accident. So glad we did. Staff were so friendly and chatty. Coffee 10/10, cakes looked so tasty we couldn’t decide which one. Ended up going for a Cinnamon Bun which was one of the best I’ve ever had!! If I lived closer I’d be here everyday for coffee & a cake and the warm friendly staff. Will definitely be back….

14/09/2026: Excellent cortado to start off the day! Friendly staff!

06/09/2026: Ordering food at this place 3am after one night in dublin city center has to be done at least once, its tradition 🤷🏻

01/09/2026: Got Battered sausage with chips for collection and food was amazing and would recommend to try them once.

02/06/2026: Incredible cafe. I pop in here from time to time and in particular I’ve noticed that some new faces working there, and they have been so friendly and ept. Would recommend 👍

24/04/2026: Went in for a cuppa tea and a pastry. Lovely. Staff welcoming and friendly

28/08/2026: One of my top 3 favourite cafes, hands down - great for a coffee and a bite to eat. The food is absolutely amazing, and portions are generous, not skimpy at all. The full breakfast is genuinely one of the best I’ve had around Dublin. The inside of the cafe is lovely too, nice atmosphere to sit in and enjoy your meal. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a solid breakfast spot.

20/08/2026: Great café. Food is always good as is the service. Prices are modern day prices. Highly recommend

13/09/2026: Lovely food Lovely staff and nice pint

26/08/2026: Proper Pub, can be unapologetically quiet at times but good selection of beers with dedicated experienced staff, it's a pub at the edge of town and that's what it feels like, a place for a quiet pint and there's nothing wrong with that
