The Lovely Food Co restaurant, Terenure, Dublin Reviews
4.0 The Lovely Food Co 4.0 star review:
Ate here on Paddys Day, fortunately got seated straight away. Had looked at the menu for here earlier in the morning via their website and decided I would order The Lovely Irish breakfast.
Their website said there was beans as part of it - which there wasn't and also that it was €8.45 when in fact we were charged €8.95 for the breakfast. Also another cafe/restaurant around the corner includes a cup of tea as part of their breakfast while in here we had to pay €3.60 between two for a large pot of tea. Taking the price of a full Irish (minus the beans) and a cuppa up to €10.75 - which is expensive enough. Going over €10 for a brekkie and a cup of tea is a bit high. Also there was 4 half size pieces of toast with it, but the portion of butter they serve for your toast is very small meaning you have to ask for a refill of butter. If the owner is reading this, a tip would be to add a bigger piece of butter.
The food was very nice, so no complaints at all on that score and the service was very good.

5.0 The Lovely Food Co 5.0 star review:
Came here last night for the Cookery School and was very impressed - it's a little bit tucked away so I never knew the place existed until recently. A hidden gem if there ever was one!
The dishes seem deceptively easy to make and were unbelievably good, The 'taster' portions are a good, generous size but I would have had no problem eating the full dish. The savoury scones (chorizo, rosemary and sundried tomatoes) in particular were amazing - I managed to snag one before leaving, intending to eat it for lunch today but it didn't last that long. To be honest I ate it as soon as I got home.
I'll definitely be back for another class and for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

4.5 The Lovely Food Co 4.5 star review:
I went here with two friends on Friday night. Luckily, I got a booking that morning. There was a real buzz when we arrived, which we really like in a restaurant.
We were brought through the main restaurant to the back to our table. It is like an overflow room. I would prefer to sit out front next time, but we were happy enough to get a table at such notice.
|The food is excellent and the staff are very friendly, I will be back here again, maybe to try BRUNCH next time but I will ask for a table in the main restaurant.

4.5 The Lovely Food Co 4.5 star review:
We booked this restaurant on the spur of the moment and we were not disappointed. Early bird menu has something for everyone, staff were polite and portion sizes are generous. Judging by the amount of phone call bookings they had to apologetically refuse while we were there, this is no longer a hidden gem. We will be back again, sooner rather than later.

Had never hear of the place, but being unable to get a table in another local eatery, we dined here. It was definitely Lovely - portions a tad small but overall good quality fare. A nice inventive menu - will definitely recommend.

Terenure has had some really nice little cafes open up over the last few years but this one has become my new favourite. I went to the Lovely Food Co yesterday for lunch with my mother and really enjoyed it.
I had the special that day which was a Cajun chicken breast with roast vegetable cous cous and salad. It was really fresh and tasty (in particular the fantastic little semi sun dried cherry tomatoes. Wish I knew where I could buy some!) They have a huge selection of delicious looking cakes on display too which I plan on heading back soon to sample.
I also have to compliment their staff who were friendly and attentive. Well worth a visit.
