What's not to love... This place is on the money! A great locally owned business that wins people…read moreover with not only the finest range of products and great knowledge of seafood but there customer service. Shopping here is always a pleasure. I really love the variety on the fish counter, has a person not so up on handling or prepping from scratch, I love how they have cuts available with all the messy stuff already done for you or in fact, fish all prepped and ready to cook having already been seasoned and marinated... Nothing to think about just straight into the pan or the oven. They often have great offers on and are only happy to share some cooking tips or tricks. Aside from the fish, they stock a host of other organic and free range produce, as well as locally sourced products - guilt free buying :-) They have a great cheese counter too.Great addition is the coffee machine, they are now serving badger & dodo bean coffee. Ok, so sometimes the coffee is not spot on but when it comes to Dalkey, this is definitely the best place to grab a coffee on the go. Also sampled their hot chocolate, yum yum!

Tom used to make the most amazing Irish Breakfast Sausages (please don't call them "bangers" lol). But bureaucratic over-regulation has forced him to stop doing so and he now has to buy them form somewhere else. But everything else in his shop is hand butchered. The sort of place that is rapidly disappearing in modern Ireland. Support your local butcher! Sláinte!

I want to do this place justice but I have to be honest with myself... Ok, 3.5 stars? Can we do…read morethat :-) This place is a located on main street Dalkey and is yet another great store stocking all the goodness of healthy food options with allergy friendly products. This place for me though is a little confusing, I dunno, they have a little bit of everything without a lot of one thing. Let me try explain this... Their Deli counter offers pre-selected combinations for you to choose from however whats on their deli selection is very limited, there is not a great amount of options making it not overly exciting to 'create your own' sandwich or roll... Considering there are other Deli options in the village, this is a little disappointing because what they do lay on, it super nice but need to go that extra step with their meat and salad options. They specialise in pre-prepared and frozen meals all high end organic ingredients with portion sizes for the lone diner or family, with add on like potato gratin, etc however for me, they have a few regular meals and they stick to them, not a lot of variety so if I'm thinking of grabbing last minute dinner, this place doesn't jump to mind cause there's just not enough variety being mixed into their meals. When I said earlier about a little bit of everything, like they a few relish/sauces in stock but might be just one flavour so again, when I'm sitting at home saying I need a sauce this place just never gets a look in. However... Let me also just spend some time on what I do REALLY like about this place! What I think is cool is during summertime I've seen them advertise in their window island picnic deals, so you can buy your sandwich and drink or maybe pick up some pastries, meat selections, etc and have them all packed to take with you on a tour to Dalkey Island so yeah, that is a drawing point and great marketing particularly in high tourist season. They have a hot drink and pastries option which is a nice treat to take with me on coastal walk and settle down somewhere along the coast and enjoy :-) They are always super friendly in here, they connect really well with customers and I know they do catering for private functions which I imagine they do really well with.

I used to love Deerings butcher shop in Killiney Shopping Centre…read more There was the cutting and slicing of meat, the staff were great and helpful. There was the queuing for your Turkey and Ham at Christmas time watching all the worried faces of the other shoppers thinking 'have I remembered everything?'. This is all changed meat is laid out in counters and some choices of meat dishes. Then there is a nice lady on the till. It is clean and bright and a nice choice of sauces, jams, marmalades, marinades etc. It is a butcher shop but not as you remember it. It is more like a part of a supermarket. I would still go back.
