I had a peek in there today and the menu looks fab, the food smells uuummmmm good, the staff are friendly and the customers were all happily munching away. For Ireland the prices look pretty good. I would behappier if they would do the burgers medium-rare on request but hell, I'll try it anyway. My mouth watered just looking at the menu. I would've eaten on the spot except I had promised the kiddies I'd be home soon with chinese take-away. Maybe tomorrow! Yes boys and girls, the Dun Laoghaire branch is open!

We stopped off there en route back to Dublin after Christmas and I enjoyed their blue cheese burger, although could have done with it being a little less cooked. The Boyfriend had a nice, juicy lamb burger and he was happy with the wedge-style chips too. Well worth a pause in the journey and it definitely beats any of the other options on the Cork-Dublin road! Thanks for the tip-off, Conor.

Not open yet but expect it to be open pretty shortly. They’re opening up a branch in Dun Laoghaire under the 40ft beside Meadows & Byrne (where Kafe Mocha used to be).

I think they'd be better off doing very thin frites. BBQ is next on my list! All that Foodcourt needs now is a sushi bar and I'm happy for life.

The Barbecue was quite a treat, the chips were a bit greasy even though they were using non-GM oil ;-) The fryer temp just needed to be up a bit. The only problem is, I told the wife about it, and now she will be monitoring my visits there :-( I finally got a chance to try a burger there last night on the way down to Cork.
