If you're in the mood to treat yourself you can always check out the Brick Alley Cafe in Temple Bar. Lovely sandwiches and cakes and always has a lovely relaxed vibe about it.

Mind you I've never been there during the lunchtime rush, it might be a bit busy if you're under pressure to get back to work on time.

One of my favourite lunch-time spots is the Hop House on Parnell Street (opposite Fibber's). Really nice sushi and Korean food, and quite reasonable at lunch-time.

Nyom.

Jimmy Chungs on Eden Quay..all you can eat chinese,very good food indeed.

I second this, lovely food and 8.95 for all you can eat which incl starters and desserts plus tonnes of main courses.

If you like chipper esque food - Fischiardis on Marlborough St has nearly the best chips in Dublin or Del Rios has a nice all-day brekkie on Marl St too.

Check out The Kingfisher on Parnell St too across from the Ilac Centre - great value restaurant

The Garden of Remembrance is just up the road from you afterall, lovely place for a wee picnic

That was todays choice, a great spot with the sun out. Actually my first time in there unusually enough. I'll be going back. Just grabbed some lunch in the Centra across the way. Job!!!

Good stuff, nothing better than eating your lunch in the park with the sun shining

Coriolanus

Charlies on Dolier St have a midweek deal at the moment. Starter and main off a list of about six or so of each, for 6.50. Pretty good!

I'd second or third Govindas. Great food and one of the few places in town that you can actually relax. Doesn't feel like you'll be rushed out the door.

The Oval on Abbey St, beside Govindas does decent pub grub. Ditto the Lotts on Liffey St and the Church on Mary St

I tend to avoid Temple Bar since lunchtime is just crazy

If you like a kebab, Zaytoon on Parliament St is worth queuing for.

If you're a minute from Henry Street then hop over to the Kylemore on the corner of North Earl/O'Connell Street.

Now that's food.

DWCommuter

There's a new Chinese all you can eat buffet place at the junction of upper liffey st and upper abbey st. In a building formerly know as Jo Jo. 6.95 a head. Havent been in there yet. Any feedback?

Awful, horrible tasting clockwork.

Cheap options here (I'm a student ). The Londis on Capel Street has the cheapest roll deals I think. Chicken Fillet and a bottle of Lucozade/Water/Capri Sonne/Can of Coke for €3. The Chipper just up from that, John's I think (very original name) does lunch time specials along the lines of Battered Sausage and Chips for €3.

The Centra up by Bolton Street does (or at least did, haven't been in a while) great student specials (you don't need a student card to avail of them). From what I remember there was half 10" Pepperoni Pizza, portion of wedges and can of coke for €3.

While I'm on the student buzz, pop into one of the DIT college canteens. Nobody will ask you for ID, can be nice and quiet and relatively cheap meals compared to any of the places in town. A girl I used to know was in Cathal Brugha and she said the canteen there was great cause you'd get meals cooked by the Cullinary Arts crowd.

That's sounds excellent. Went for the Garden of Remembrance again today anyway!

Lecturers and visitors from different colleges/industries are always in there, and all wearing the 'three piece cage'

+1 on Govindas. Huge portions, lively atmosphere and cheerful staff. Gorgeous food too. Just ask for "everything" heaped on to a Medium plate. The only drawback is the shambolic loo downstairs - but you work nearby, right? Shouldn't be a problem so...

I'd recommend the Kingfisher beside the Rotunda Hospital , food is lovely and great value. I always call in when I'm in town. They do great specials.

shawty

Do you mean the paneer? In the tomatoey sauce? I love it

I hate spinach with a passion and they seem to be putting it in more and more dishes every time I go in. Rotten stuff.

I like paneer. I asked was it paneer or tofu. Was told it was tofu. /shrug
I'll ask again next time I'm in. Maybe it changes day to day or maybe the girl who served hadn't a clue.

do they do a nice steak?:pac:

Yep it was pretty good, didn't blow me away but I would def go back

I made some rookie mistakes I think, went for the medium plate and just said a bit of everything.

Next time it will be the small plate... huge potions (I should have noted that one) and I'll ask what's on offer and maybe pick a few of them and not all.

Good spot tho
