    Myself and the girlfriend go for food on a Wednesday (she works in Clonee and I do be driving from Ballymount), we normally stick to the Paddock's if either of us are late, Flame's if we fancy a Chinese or over to Eddie Rockets if we're going to the SC for anything. We've been to Browne's a couple of times too! Basically looking for some alternative options not too far from Clonee/Huntstown?

    We're looking at trying Ravellos tomorrow!

    Was there for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I agree that their chicken wings are excellent, but the pizza I had actually tasted of nothing at all, which was a remarkable feat. My wife enjoyed her starter but only because it contained all the things she particularly likes, as opposed to it being particularly spectacular, and she described her pasta as being "only OK". Personally I won't be rushing back to the place.

    Castello Bruno in Castleknock village is owned by the same people who own Browne's and has been consistently good any time we've been there.

    The one in Ratoath is fantastic anyway.

    Another place worth checking out is Maxmillians at Supervalu in Blanchardstown village. I prefer both to Brunos.

    For pizza I like Maximilians Bistro in SuperValu Shopping Centre or Milano in Blanchardstown Centre.

    Maxmillians and the anglers rest are both good but can be expensive.
    Thai Garden has been the fantastic for over 15 years, I have never been disappointed with it and it is very reasonable.

    This time 12/18 months ago I would have agreed with you about the Anglers Rest wholeheartly and had recommended it to many of our friends and family through the years. The service is good and the food is cooked to a standard you'd expect in such a place.

    I had always enjoyed their Fish 'n Chip, but what I noticed is the portion sizes have been noticeably reduced since the start of last year. At one time you'd expect to get a piece of fish comparable to a really decent size chip shop serving, now you're lucky to get half that size and I do mean lucky!

    Its a pity the place is really nice, but the portions are miserable!

    IMO Maximillians in Blanch village beside super value is a great Italian (especially upstairs)... the pizza is good! Geisha in ashtown is quite nice but a little expensive! :)

    Ravello's was very nice the time we tried it. Hopefully try a few other spots out soon.

    Maximilians is the best restaurant in D15 by some distance.

    Honorable mentions for Thai Garden and the Italian in the Crowne Plaza.

    Had the nicest Fish & Chips ever in the Anglers Rest a few weeks ago. It was beautiful. The mushy peas - drool!

    Never that gone on Maximilians - its grand, no more no less. Wouldn't choose to go there personally.

    Thai Garden my fav Thai in Dublin.

    Does anybody know what’s happening to Ravello’s in Clonsilla. Is it being redecorated or is it closing down?, would be an awful shame to see it go.

    Funny enough, was just coming to post here myself about Ravellos. Tried to order from them and they're no longer on Just Eat and when I rang the phone just rang out. Hope they're not gone, but if they are there's a definite opening for a good pizza place in the area.

    The Black Wolf in Blanch Village has lovely food. My husband got the ribs and they were fab! Very nice chicken wings too. Extremely reasonable.

    Ravellos have a planning application in to split the restaurant into a pizzeria and restaurant. The application was very vague so the council have asked for clarification. Odd that it has closed up already. Sounds like they're jumping the gun

    The additional info has come in since last I looked at it.

    Looks like they're closing Romayos, dividing Ravellos in two with a pizzeria on the right side and a Romayos on the left with a sit down area. No more table service would be my take on things.

    There's a thread in the Dublin City forum with a few mentions of it recently - spurious and one/two others posted about it. Vagya is the name btw.

    Yep it was lovely. Not mad on indian food and I don't like rhe Roselawn but was walkable to. But pleasantly surprised...although a bit odd to be greeted by someone in full traditional dress in my local shopping centre.

    My go to place is the 12th lock. Lovely steak. Service can be a bit hit and miss.

    Been in both of the restaurants in the Castleknock Hotel recently and both were excellent. Also Dunboyne Castle. And Luttrellstown.

    Echo Maximillans and Rudys.

    In fact the only.one I will never return to is the Anglers Rest.

    Where's the best place for weekend breakfast / brunch?
    I tried The Cottage Cafe in Blanch and didn't like it at all.

    Another voter for Amber as the best around - although I would only rank it medium, haven't found a really good breakfast in D15 yet.
