    Rudys on the main street is nice but city centre prices in the suburbs
    Thai Garden beside the church just off main street is really good and reasonably priced
    Browns Steak house is better than TGI and captain Americas solid if unspectacular steak house

    Rudys is my usual for a local date night :D Thai Garden for ladies night, or Forcetta. I haven't been to Browns because Rudy's is nearer and sure their Cote de Boeuf ticks the boxes! I'll add it in the mix next time we're heading out.

    Rendez Vous cafe in Ongar is a nice breakfast/brunch option during the week (haven't been on weekends) I've heard the Hungry Monkey in Mulhuddart is nice too, will give it a try next time. Tempted to create a reason to visit all independent cafes/restaurants in the area now for comparison!

    Would bankrupt myself if we had decent Mexican in D15.

    Is this right beside the new FlyeFit? Seems like poor timing and location. May have just missed the boat unfortunately, although I hope it succeeds.

    Yes the adjacent unit/area, flyefit is a victim of its own success, its cheap, fresh, big and as a result its crazy busy, i know a few people who've left and are leaving due to the volume of people and lack of quality bars and plates.

    Disclosure: I know the 2 guys who are behind this gym, used to be a member of the old club.

    Its not aiming for the FlyeFit or Ben Dunne demographic.
    It a serious weighlifting/bodybuilding gym setup in the old Animal Barbell facility.
    Have full Crossfit style bar rigs, deadlift/bench stations with Rogue IPF certified plates & huge array of cable machines/heavy dumbbells.

    Kickboxing, Calisthenics, Acro Yoga classes in the studio if looking for something different.

    Barber also in the place, run by Tony who used to own Academy Barbers in Ongar.

    No, he sold off the business to one of the staff end of last year.

    Spice of India on Clonsilla Rd. is being done up at the moment. Was walking the dogs past it last night and noticed. Food is always lovely there but the decor is awful.

    There’s now a Dublin 15 Restaurants forum- might be worth posting this there too.

    It's January, that will recede. I joined in December and it was always grand.

    I’ve been in FlyeFit a few times past couple of weeks and hasn’t been too busy.

    Could very well be times I go though.

    Sadly it's some of the best coffee around the Centre. Starbucks, Butler's and now Insomnia are all muck if, like me, you drink it black.

    Prefer insomnia to Starbucks and won't give butler's the business anymore since their owner is a funder of the Iona institute so delighted it's opening in the centre.

    Never understood why they opened a second Costa over at that side of Westend. Surely one would've been enough?

    I still feel a cafe around or near TK Maxx would do well especially as the craft shop cafe is now gone. That reminds me, Insomnia did have a cafe upstairs in 53degrees North when it was where Mr Price is now but closed after a short while.
