Multiple tries getting poached eggs were a fail for all of us. Pretty much hard boiled eggs. The toast, stale and way too toasted, bitter coffee. Unfortunately four times is a strike for us.

Should have gotten up when I was told that they haven't got any avocado left. But it felt awkward…read moresince I was sitting down already so I stayed and ordered scrambled eggs, sausages and salad as a side... sausages were quite small, and the salad was a sliced tomato and a few leave. Everything was dry and ti be honest, underwhelming. For a food like that I could've rustled up at home (end even better!) without spending €10. It felt ironic to be walking out f the place and seeing while avocados displayed on the window shelf... could have been mashed, no?

But seeing that's (as per November 2016) closed until further notice we had to look for an alternative for our coffee. Glad we came here. Lovely staff, some nice treats and the upstairs seating, which is actually over several levels is nicely decorated - country like. As it was a rainy day I went for their hot chocolate which was just devine and also had a lemon drizzle cupcake that I really enjoyed. So I'll definitely will be back for more.

This place is relatively new and if your in Dun laoghrie it's most definitley worth a visit if your…read morepeckish. Its an all glass restaurant built from red brick. It overlooks the peoples park and in the near distance, the sea. I went there for Christmas lunch with my family and it was a great lunch and I have absolutely zero complaints about the food quality, it was top nosh! The reason it loses a couple stars though are because the menu is very small and limited so you can't be a picky eater, luckily I eat everything but that's not the case for a lot of others. The fact that it's made from redbrick and glass also means that it's very very loud inside with everyone talking as it doesn't absorb any sound and it just bounces around the room, very hard to hear your own conversation. And my final complaint / warning is that the ginger beer they serve has a lot more ginger in it than you might expect, it's flavored naturally with powder ginger and really gives you a kick, so beware! Apart from a couple things if your looking for a decent place to eat, it really stands out over everywhere else in Dun laoghrie and the price is very moderate too!

This was a quaint little Pub in the town of Killnney. It was close to the hotel we were staying at,…read morethe Fitzpatrick Castle. The teeny tiny town was about a mile away and had a couple pubs which was surprising considering most towns in Ireland have the streets dotted with pubs. The hotel and locals said go to The Magpie and we did and had a great meal. The portions were humongous and we ordered way too much food. Of course we had to try the local version of the seafood chowder which did not disappoint as it was loaded with tons of seafood. We also got a seafood linguine. When you're surrounded by the ocean you always go for seafood! At least we do.

Likely it was since the kitchen just opened that the oil wasn't hot enough or the chips were put into the oil still frozen/cool. So while the chips flavor was spot on this is more of a glitch than consistent problem. The the crab and crawfish cakes came out and they were cooked perfectly and very tasty. It was a light lunch as my friend and I shared the chips as a starter and then ordered starters for our meals. It was more than enough . The restaurant has a great view of the intersection and the shops looking towards Dalkey Castle. Inside it was clean and spacious as the tables were spaced apart to feel not close.
