Bistro popolari a Drumcondra (D1)

As usual, the lunch special was excellent and very good value. I could almost claim to be disappointed because it wasn't brilliant--which it sometimes rises to--but that doesn't seem quite fair. My guest was delighted with the croque madame, which is my default dish if for some reason the special doesn't appeal to me.

Roly’s is famous and rightly so for all the right reasons - excellent service and excellent food. The main dining room is lovely decorated like a French bistro with nicely spaced tables. The service was perfect from the moment we arrived when our costs were taken. immediately we sat down we were offered water and given the drinks and food menu. Within a few minutes we were offered a choice of breads and had ordered our wine - a reasonably priced Pinot Grigio which my partner was offered to taste soon afterwards. We ordered our food which also was served within 5-10 minutes - pate and mushroom soup - both excellent. For mains we chose venison and salmon both excellent. Portions were medium sized but cooked to perfection. We shared sticky toffee pudding and ice cream for dessert. We really enjoyed our visit to Roly’s and highly recommend that you try it

Excellent. Great service and setting. I’d say this place will become more and more popular as time goes on. Ribs / halibut / sides all delicious

A hidden gem. Food was so unbelievably tasty and well presented. Staff very nice and lovely ambience. Would definitely recommend.

Little bit pricey, but definitely worth it. Food was fantastic, cocktails were amazing also. Very friendly staff and very attentive and caring service overall. Will definitely be back.
