I haven't been to a Bagel Factory in ages for some unknown reason…read more That day I had a lot time to spend while waiting for my car to get fixed around the corner. So I started with a chicken Caesar on a multiseed bagel and a cappuccino. The bagel might have been a bit too crisp / dry but still tasted like I remembered and liked them. Later I had a hot chocolate with marshmallows (surprisingly two big ones) and an americano and for lunch a chilly tuna melt again on a multiseed bagel - this time perfectly fine. In total I spend a good four hours here and loved the atmosphere. As it is a bit off the beaten track it's rather people from the surrounding offices coming in - a lot of them regulars that got greeted accordingly. The staff didn't mind at all me sitting there for so long and was very friendly to me and everyone else. But most of all I enjoyed how relaxed it was sitting there. So even if you're just sitting down for one bagel or sandwich - being surrounded by features of a Georgian house - even with mantelpiece - makes you feel like sitting in a living room.

My gf had a breakfast bagel, which comes with a small coffee till noon (~5 €). They have two outside tables, so you can sit outside while you enjoy your breakfast. The bagels tasted good and fresh, the Coffee was also good and even the small one was large enough to get your motor running ;-) Overall a good alternative to the pricey hotel breakfast.

When you live in Germany one tends to be quite particular when it comes to bread and bakeries :-)…read moreThis is a great bakery that has been around a long time. They have breads, pastries, cakes, biscuits and desserts of different kinds. They also have nice bagels here and their bread theme is about varieties from different parts of the world like France, USA, Ireland, UK and perhaps other European countries. The only thing missing for me was the dense seeded breads so common in Germany. It would be nice to have one or two of those here. Their stuff is good and I loved their fruit scones, granary bread and bagels. Happily come here again. Staff are nice and their products are fresh.

For such a high-end place the service was simply not up to par. Sorry but an hour and a half for lunch in a shopping centre is simply too long. To the waiter's credit, he did give us each a free glass of wine and coffee to make up for the delays.

Dundrum Town Centre is a place that I often frequent and while I am usually disappointed by what's…read moreon offer food wise (see other review on the disastrous Frangos) this sleek café has proved to be a shining beacon. Located at the rear of the centre, it is on the precipice of the Pembroke District, a wonderful setting on a warm summers evening. The cafe sits just beside the main entrance to the upmarket store and is nestled neatly beneath the HN restaurant, all encased in glass. The cafè is surprisingly spacious, yet compact and stylish. The kitchen is visible, something I always favour and the dining area is not cramped but relatively comfortable. They've recently disposed of the meretricious multicoloured chairs and replaced them with sturdier and more comfortable seats, albeit they are a little clinical and insipid. Fortunately the same cannot be said about the food on offer. The menu is fairly extensive ranging from soups and sandwiches to the more fulfilling burger or fish and chips, all with the midis HN touch. Personally, I'd recommend the club sandwich, though at €12.95 one may struggle to find justification in paying such an extortionate amount. Portion over extortion for me, as well as being mammoth in scale, it's fraught with excellent quality ingredients. One of the most important things for me when dining in such a facility as this, is the quality of the coffee and once again it doesn't disappoint. The reason being that they use their own Harvey Nichols beans, subsequently sold in the shop above the cafè adjoining the restaurant, which are superb, even if a little weak for my taste. The staff are wonderfully genial as is the atmosphere. The only thing that sullies this cafè is the price of the food. But remember, this is Harvey Nichols, what did you expect? So I shan't throw stones in this glass house, it's too damn good.

I would have found it ok for a bar, but not for lunch. They did have gluten-free muffins to enjoy with our coffee (or without, in this case) so props for that.
