  • Killer Sandwich!

    If you’re a Twitterer you may already be aware of Killer Sandwich – an ingenious and delicious food project from the clever people at Mr & Mrs Stevens.

  • Luncheonette in NCAD, Thomas St

    Luncheonette is a new cafe in the basement canteen of the National College of Art and Design on Thomas St, and it’s a gem.  I won’t pretend to write an objective review as it’s been set up by a friend of mine, but I hope my many years of guffing off about food here have…

  • Lunch in the Bison Bar

    The Bison Bar, on Dublin’s Wellington Quay, is inviting at the best of times, with its many comfortable niches to sit in and its wide range of delicious whiskeys.  On a cold rainy Friday recently I ran down there to meet some friends for lunch, and was very very glad that I did. It was…

  • Lunch in Odessa

This food came about as a result of French colonialism in Vietnam – it’ s a French-style baguette combined with fresh, spicy Vietnamese ingredients, and is both delicious…

  • Review: Fumbally Cafe, Dublin 8

    My walk to work sometimes takes me down Clanbrassil St, and a couple of months ago I noticed a new cafe being set up in a huge empty building by the corner of Fumbally Lane. I admired the work they were doing as I passed by – the space looked really great – but found…

  • Review: One Pico’s Three Course Lunch

    One Pico is a place of such high repute that you might think you’d have to be the Sausage King of Chicago to have lunch there. However, put aside a fiver a week and spend an afternoon there next month. You won’t regret it. Since we reviewed the set lunch menu over two years ago,…

  • Soup at Brother Hubbard, Capel St

    I’ve been hearing loads of buzz about Brother Hubbard on Capel St in the papers and on social media; and when I droppped by to check it out for lunch recently, it was clear I wasn’t the only one – every table was full and there was a ten minute wait for a seat. The…
