Desserts in Blackrock

“I went here Christmas eve morning and the place was packed with a queue outside, luckily I had booked a table, which I highly suggest as there always seems to be a queue outside Vanilla Pods, which I always take as a good sign, we got seated at our booked time exactly. The staff are friendly and calm even with the madness of the place and they are quick to serve, which is great. I am a vegetarian and a lot of places only have very limited dishes on the menu, I generally end up eating soup and chips but I was delighted to see quite a variety, I ended up getting Smashed Avacado on sourdough which included feta cheese, rocket, poached or scrambled eggs (I got scrambled) pickled radish, toasted seeds and the most gorgeous roast cashew and peanut dressing, we got potato hashes on the side, it was utterly delicious and it really started off my Christmas on a good note, I would highly recommend.”

“Great place in 5 euro they have a student meal which is very superb. Please also note student meal is only till evening 6 after evening 6 they don't serve student meal. Pizza is very tasty & fries/ chips are also very good. For 5 euro student meal in beverage there is water, while in 5.24 euro they give a coke.”

“Have been into laurel many times since our first evening and have been continously blown away by both the fantastic food and the impeccable service. The food is incredible and the waitresses are knowledgeable and welcoming, the ambiance and vibe in the restaurant makes for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. We will be back again in no time!”

“Had a great evening here with my mum yesterday. The staff could not be nicer or more helpful and really down to earth. Very helpful in relation to my severe nut allergy. Beautiful food - mushroom dumplings were delicious and vegetarian and duck mains, gorgeous. All beautifully presented too. Cosy, modern surroundings. Definitely recommend. Perfect for a special evening.”

“Love coming to the Woodenspoon. Delicious wholesome food and great coffees. Steve and Mary and the rest of the staff are so friendly & hospitable. Very popular, so get there a little earlier for lunch. Rachel”

“This little restaurant is so good. The service was really helpful, portions are huge and the test is amazing! Strongly recommend it”

“Okay I have been here 3 times already so it is time to a review :) So Unique, So Fresh, smooth So organic and sooo goooood! Like 2 minutes walking distance from commuting transitions. The interior design is so colorful and ambience was very calm and peaceful. I have tried chicken dum biryani, Pani Puri, Vada and gulaab jamun. Loved it! Their draft menu is so rich. They have beer & wine too still PEDAPATI PURNA SATYA BHARAT is my favorite. He suggested the restaurant and dum biryani. The staff is quite friendly. They make sure you enjoy what you eat. There is detailed information about every single offering in the menu. They have Indian desserts such as kulfi's and gulaab jamun. A lot to tell but I leave the rest of the experience to you :) A very good place to experience.”

“Excellent sushi! Was blown away with the quality and presentation of the food, would highly recommend and happily eat there again.”

“Visited in Sep 2021, when it opened Great ambience, small but good menu! Service was quick & great. Only if I was offered the wine menu, without me prompting for it”

“Fantastic atmosphere, brilliantly hygienic and the food was authentic and tasty! Children loved their food and so did we. Will be back!!”

“A bisy and lively interesting bar in the middle of black rock, this bar is where rock shandy began years ago! The food and pints are top notch and the staff are friendly and helpful, the customers are friendly and chatty”

“Great service, fun atmosphere and fantastic food. Our server was friendly and fun, I always enjoy someone who talks to you like a person not just a customer, she even suggested a beer to my boyfriend that was called Fresh prince of Keldaire and he loved it…and the name :) I am a picky eater and the food was fantastic! I loved the setting, very pretty and fun. I highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Dublin, extremely happy we had our first night visiting dinner here!”

“This is just the best coffee shop. Tony runs a great show and Emily, Emmett, Grainne and the team are wonderful, always a smile and a nice word. And the coffee is consistently superb, best macchiato around!”
