Ritz Cafe — Local services in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown

Went there yesterday afternoon , ordered a chicken burger meal , everything was really well cooked , chicken was very nice ... unfortunately the Mayo in the burger was very much out of date , the consistency was like cream cheese . I was quite disappointed by this as I had thought it was quite a popular chipper , I won’t be returning to this place any time soon .

So we will. You cannot go wrong with this place, reliable, affordable, hygenic, great staff, great value -...

Sometimes it is the hidden gems that you are most impressed by and this is one of them. This is a traditional fish and chip shop with a simple menu, everything done well and right.

Sometimes simplicity is king and as simple as this sounds, best...
