Dún Laoghaire (Irish pronunciation: [d̪ˠuːn̪ˠ ˈɫeːrʲə]) is a suburban coastal town in County Dublin, Ireland, about 12 km (7.5 miles) south of Dublin city centre. It is the county town of the Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown district. Formerly a major port of entry from Great Britain, it was known as Dunleary until 1821 when it was renamed Kingstown in honour of King George IV's visit that year, and in 1920 was given its present name, the original Irish form of Dunleary.

We were taken her by my daughter. The ambience is like the front parlour of a home, the staff are attentive and friendly. The food and drinks were excellent catering for veggies, vegan's and the rest of us. They offer a choice of milks for your hot drinks. Its the quaint finishing touches like the multi-coloured tea cosies. The cakes are for the most part home-made and very tasty. There isn't a large menu but from what we had and saw it is quality food. We will be returning when next in Eire.

I stopped here with my two kids for a quick tea and snack today... And didn't realize how bad it was until I've actually sat down. The chairs were filthy, tables sticky, cakes looked old and tasteless, both my kids left the cakes behind, which is not of them at all! Cup of tea left quite a bitter taste in my mouth, not sure what that could be... But worst than all, the chap sitting next to me was smoking his e-cigarette, hiding it in the palm of his hand.. And when I caught his eyes he left the table after a few minutes... The bill was 12.50â¬!!! What a rip off!! I'll make sure I'll never go there again. :(

Family run Cafe in the heart of Dun Laoghaire serving quality coffee and wholesome hearty foods midweek and weekends.

We needed a quick bite on Saturday before heading in to town. Harryâs looked like an interesting option. Not a whole heap of choice but thatâs no bad thing. Our food was good, service was very pleasant. Lovely fresh orange juice. What left a sour taste was the small premium for decaf coffee.

Went here with high expectations as it is the affluent area of monkstown and shocked that people eat here. Everything tastes reheated and like itâs been frozen. Barely any avocado on the smashed avocado and crab salad had no flavor! Soup was like water and oil. Service was so slow even though it wasnât that busy.Another thing that shocked me is I understand itâs a dog friendly cafe but I was horrified to see a woman feeding her dog under the table on one of the cafes plates! Absolutely disgusting and obviously violates health and safety. Good place for a coffee and to work but there are so many better places in monkstown to eat do not bother with this one!
3. 64 Wine

Reviewed By David M
For those of us living in the Glasthule/Sandycove for many years 64 Wine was a dining gem where you could also enjoy a beautiful glass of wine from an extensive range. It was so popular that access was on many occasions restricted to 'Locals'. Gerry, the Patron, was always present, knew his market, recruited great staff and ensured that food/wine quality was 'synced' with the upmarket service expectations of its clientele. Just a wonderful place to have a meal or after work glass of wine or meet you friends/neighbours. Always greeted with a smile by Gerry and you got the feeling of being appreciatedAlas all that is history and Glasthule is not short a dining/wining Institution. Exit Gerry enter Ely (which is a brand/company owned by the charismatic Eric & Michelle - two people I have huge respect for). Over the short transition period everything has changed. Service is AWFUL. Staff smiles are GONE. Replaced by disinterest in those people who pay their salaries. Much of this I put down to personality-absent and abrupt management style. Food is now (I ate there again yesterday) the most TASTELESS & disappointingly poor I have tasted from ALL the many places I eat around Dublin. I am mean the WORST. I have never had a worse fishcake nor 'Spanish omelette' anywhere in my life. Cold, tasteless and the crumb on the (cold) fishcake was gluey while still strong enough to damage the enamel on your teeth. Even the 'product description' is wrong. There was little/no fish inside the teeth damaging exterior. I regret having to write such a review (which if you look at the many reviews I write most are positive) but the collapse of all the things I loved about 64 Wine are gone. Because of its great location and it still serves some great wines (at ok prices) the outlets revenue stream will not disappear BUT if current management don't change their arrogance and it continues to serve up the rubbish (some of the sharing plates remain fine - albeit for those conscious of calorie or fat intake should be avoided) it now believes is acceptable I can see a further change of ownership soon. My worst dining experience of 2019 award has just been delivered - and I still have 6 months to go !!Dear David M,Firstly thank you for taking the time to write your review and, secondly, sorry that your experience was so poor. While it is clearly a below par review it is a fair one. We had already identified a number of weaknesses and put in place the changes we believe will quickly re-establish the offering, service and smile that make 64 the gem you clearly loved in the first place. 64 and Ely share so many characteristics and goals plus a deep respect for wine that it is, without doubt, the intention to build on that collective history to make it better than ever. I know that Gerard, Michelle and Erik will be disappointed by your experience. Bare with us while we iron out a few things and please do return.In the meantime I'd be delighted to get some more feedback if you'd like to DM [email protected]

The Sunshine Cafe really deserves its name, not only for its bright yellow front but also for the sunlit interior. Sitting at the window table we basked in the afternoon sun, enjoying our tea, coffee and most especially the cakes.Itâs unique place with very pleasant staff, and, if you consider how elaborately the cakes are prepared and arranged, also moderately priced. And if once in a while they took a mop and attack the dust heaps in the corners the place would be perfect.

Had lunch here with my partner - she had buratta with "heirloom" tomatoes and I had their lunchtime burger described as "Higgins smoked beef burger, mature cheddar, gherkins, caramelisedonion, French fries, horseradish mayonnaise". And very good my burger was too. I didn't pick up much smokiness from the beef but that didn't stop it being juicy and tasty. My partner's salad was less successful. The heirloom tomatoes came in a range of pretty shades but they obviously had just been removed from the refrigerator and were so cold that they had no discernible flavor. We pointed this out to the waiter when we were paying our bill. He went as far to agree with us that tomatoes should not be served to the table from the refrigerator, but not so far to make any adjustment to the bill when we expressed disappointment with the lack of flavor in the tomatoes! Did I mention the burger was good?Hi there,Thank you so much for visiting Avoca, and for your valued feedback. We take all of your comments on board, and will make sure they get communicated to the team in an effort to improve our offering. We regret you did not enjoy the tomatoes in your salad, and will endeavour not to have them in the fridge before serving so as not to take away from the flavour.Again, thank you for visiting and for your feedback - we do hope you will come back again in future!Kind Regards,Avoca
