Who would have thunk it, a trattoria in The Rise! I didn't expect much from this café deli at the edge of a housing estate, but addresses can be deceptive. Even at 2 o'clock on a Wednesday, the place was, if not jumping, at least bouncing contentedly. We were hard pushed to find a table but we did and all unimaginatively ordered typical Italian sandwiches. These were very authentic and came with all the right ingredients, not the usual "Irish panini" i.e. cheddar and ham. Although we didn't get wine, it wasn't because of the lack of it - the café walls also seem to serve as cellar storage - and this would be an excellent option if you were caught empty-handed before a dinner party. read more

When I first entered, I was blown away by the exotic selection of deli foods on display. It was a beautiful sight! Thank God there was something to look at as out wait was 50mins for a table for four! Queueing at the door with my elderly grandmother was not ideal. Unfortunately the service leaves A LOT to be desired, and (if you check out my previous reviews) generally I'm not very hard to please! Guy behind the counter was rude and almost couldn't be bothered to be there. We never got an apology and instead they tried to seat us in their garden. It's October. It's freezing. That is not okay. Eventually we got a lovely seat inside and the menu was brilliant. For the standard of food the price is great. I'm a sucker for goats cheese and had a panini. Delicious. My party had a quiche, a chicken pie and a cheese board. Everyone agreed it was brilliant food. On the way out I enquired about booking a table for dinner. They do not take reservations! There's no way I'm going out to dinner in the hopes of getting a table. When I asked about it, again the waiter was rude. I wish this place had better service, I would go a lot more often. read more

this is a lovely cafe with style, individual decor and atmosphere. its not in an estate but in a residental area where it serves locals and people on the way home from work and away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. its easy to relax here as its nice and quiet around and only a walk from albert college park and the prestigious griffith avenue. as for food i love the cheese platters, fruit dippers for kids and the wide selection of sandwiches. usually crowded of an afternoon. they also offer jazz evenings i think once or twice a month on a wednesday. read more

The food here can be hit and miss but you cannot go wrong with their cakes. Also they have a great selection of wine, cheese, chocolate and deli meats that can be taken home. Great spot to pick up a gift for the foodie/wine lover in your life. #DublinShopsLocal read more

Wonderful. Went there on a Sunday, early evening, and was seated right away. The place is just so cool....business in the front party in the back. Deli in front-seating in the back. They gave us all the time in the world to study the menu, which was great because it was hard to choose what to order. I got the quiche with bruschetta. I had no clue the portions were that huge. The bruschetta had the sweetest ripest tomatoes on top. It could of been a meal of it's own. Another selection had mushrooms in a creamy light sauce on top of the bread. After i was rolled out i promised to praise this place whenever i could. read more

I had great expectations going in as the restaurant premises is very nicely designed and furnished. Unfortunately it all went downhill from there, the food was terrible and the service was inconsistent. My beef sandwich was horrendous and was clearly made by somebody with no understanding of food, any flavours present were drowned in a myriad of competing ingredients. My wife's sandwich was so contrived and over complicated also it was hard to taste anything but confusion. Then the waitress served her a cappuccino that was half spilled into the saucer... amateur hour! read more

This hidden gem just off Griffith Avenue is a local favorite by all in the community. Aside from this it's reputation goes far beyond the oak tress of the Avenue and even the north-side of Dublin. Be it for the exquisite coffee, the homemade cakes or the "just out of the oven" hot sconces delivered each morning there's always somebody waiting for the doors to open at 9am and another hurrying in before they close to "even get the lasange to go". What is unique about Andersons is how perfectly it transitions from cafe to wine bar, near effortlessly. In the am it is filled with mothers who have just done the school run, walking clubs taking a much deserved pit stop or people on the go and in need refueling. As the day goes on lunch hour is the busiest with queues out the door. The service is excellent and the brunch menu is kept on at weekends encase you had a late start or still have a craving for that full Irish breakfast - done at a twist with their "Hickory Sausages" or "Smoked salmon and poached eggs" dishes. The menu is very reasonably priced with huge portions. The bread selections is as impressive as that of a french bakers and the staffs knowledge of the selections of dried meats and cheese to the standard of a connoisseur in said field. I'd recommend the Steak sandwich if you're feeling particular hungry but if you don't quite succeed in the challenge the remainder of the dish can get packed up to go for later as the ever expanding take away menu makes this possible. Other than it's perfect transitions from day to night, the premises itself tells a story. From the incredible art work along the walls, to the still tiled floors of the previous family run butchers under the same name - this restaurant is a time capsule in itself. The menu is sure to have something to suit all appetites and the gluten free options are wonderful and the tapas menu each weekend leaves the customer spoilt for choice. read more

4 Stars for the food, 1 Stars for the price, you know where this going already folks! I was here for lunch yesterday, so we were just having a sandwich. The food and especially the breads are very good; I had a chicken and cheese sandwich on ciabatta bread, which came with a very small side salad. The bread was delicious, with crispy crust and a very soft middle. The contents were fine, although the chicken was lost against the cheese and the relish and the amount of filling was on the meagre side! Fiona (my better half) had a salami and cheese on a baguette, which looked very good. The baguette was thankfully not a 'Cuisine de France' one! As it was lunch, no wine although they have an impressive selection, we had Italian lemonade, which was okay. Now why only 1 star for the price; brace yourself, it was €9.65 for the sandwich! The total bill came to €25 + tip!!!! It was nearly €5 for soup if you fancied that! They do a set early bird menu which looks much better value - 3 courses for just under €20, so as the food is excellent I'll pop back for that. But I won't be back for lunch...... read more

Nice little place that my friend took me to the other night. Though I don't think it was anything really special-a tapas menu with the regular Spanish fare, and the menu didn't blow me away, which is odd considering the display case you see as you first enter. But we ended up with a few tapas dishes and then the cheese board. They do, however, have a wonderful wine list and my friend had him Pinot Grigio and I had the Australian Shiraz, which I think was called Joker or something similar. Warm ambiance, decent service despite what others have said and nice music. I really liked it. It's actually a 3.5 for my score. Very nice. read more

Lovely place with friendly relaxed atmosphere. Food is yum. Particularly love the window table where I sat with two chums for hours over food, wine and coffees... Nice deli too. They have another one in drumcondra which is equally yum! read more

Great atmosphere, imaginative menu, sh1te service. Absolutely sh1te. Now, I know Ireland is not usually renowned for it's service and you're usually lucky to get much more than someone to take the order and bring the food. A smile and some friendliness usually makes up for that. I remember that Andersons used to be better a few years ago. read more

Almost always good. I think of the dozens of times we've frequented here, we've only been disappointed once. With a great selection of antipasti platters, salads, soups, pastas and daily specials, this little gem of a restaurant is almost always brimming out onto the pavement with hungry locals looking for a table ( especially on a Sunday- get there early or late but not at rush-hour lunchtime or you'll be waiting!!) The ingredients are always fresh and well sourced. You can buy most things from the deli counter to take away ( which my other half can never resist!!) and their cheeses, olives etc are always top quality. Staff are always friendly and well turned out. Oh and the coffee is 'gorge' as Kate Moss would say (over and over -does she not have any other adjetives?) I digress- One of the best places to lunch in the area. read more

Place is very pretty. Great selection on the evening meal menu. Went on a friday, some serving staff seemed a little inexperienced.(prob part time students) We ordered prosecco and she was unable to open the bottle so my husband offered to do it for her. We did order a pasta prawn dish and a carbonara came out. To be honest i wasn't feeling very fussy so i ate it, and it was delicious. Staff very friendly. Portions were quite large. Free parking outside. Will definetly go back. read more

Lively spot with nice lunchtime atmosphere. Parking is difficult to come by in this mainly residential area.

Ate in here a few weeks ago with my fiancé. They got my order wrong twice & the girl serving us didn't seem at all to be bothered. She wasn't very friendly either. By the time I did get my main my fiancé had completely finished hers. The food itself was pretty ok but service was very haphazard. Don't thing we'll be back too soon. read more

Menu has been the same here for a number of years only the specials change and even then they are a variation on a theme. Food is consistently good but not cheap. Wine list even by the glass is excellent. My bug issue with Andersens is the service. It can be very patchy sometimes. I have struggled to get wait staff attention, with regular unexplained delays. While I wouldn't say staff are rude ...it's like they don't care...not ideal in the hospitality industry ....2 for service and 4 for food would be my overall view read more

Oh the bread! The place was packed at lunchtime so the three of us huddled around a table for two and tucked in to some very simple but fine food. I was boring and had the baked ham and cheese on thick chewy French bread. It was delicious but my friend's goat cheese salad inspired some serious food envy in me. The service is fast and friendly, the selection of food is decent and I didn't see one dud dish whizz by me as other people's food orders came in. A great spot altogether. read more

Referred to this restaurant by Andersons Creperie (closing for evening) Welcomed Saturday evening @6.45pm by pleasant waiter who told us we could sit anywhere. Place was half full and good buzz both outside and inside attractive seating areas. Chose a lovely table by window. Our waiter soon took our orders for Tapas (2 choices for €3.95) - we ordered 4 different choices accompanied by a shared large bottle of Nashes mineral water. The wine selection looks great but we were sharing driving so had to pass The starters arrived about 7.25pm and were finished about 7.35pm. After a long undue wait the mains arrived at 8.20pm with no word of explanation by staff. We would have appreciated at least that. My partner ordered a chicken wrap with side salade and I had the Cannelloni with ricotta and spinach accompied by attractive side salde and two small slices of home made bread. Wrap was good, pasta dish contained too much sauce and not enough pasta - however spinach portion good.. On finishing mains it was 8.45pm and the resturant was due to close at 9pm. In fear of further delays, we decided against coffee/pastry and Sorry as desserts sounded enticing and the place has such attractive settings. Other families/couples seemed to be served quicker.... Looks great for coffee mornings, breakfasts and we are willing to try again....! read more
