Honestly the most miserable lunch I have ever received. Wanted to get a "large" salad and the girl gets out a tiny plastic container. I asked for large again and she said that the size is same for small and large... even though the "large" is more expensive. I then asked for a brown bread sandwich with 2 fillings... TWO. They charged me 7 euro for a bit of smoked salmon and a spoon of spinach on a stale brown bread (was definitely at least 2-3 days old)... I asked once more if it really was 7 euro for 2 filling and the girl abruptly replied "Well yeah that's our prices." The board had loads of sandwich options that had about 3-5 fillings and were 6 euro, I was pretty much robbed. I didn't have time to see what was on the menu as I felt rushed and there was a queue forming behind me. If you have the audacity to rob people silly then at least have generous portions, freshly baked bread and...

If the weather is good - another great option is takeaway for a picnic in the...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMy first visit to Dublin, we were on our way to St. Patrick's Cathedral and happened upon Bite of Life to grab a snack.
I ordered a green smoothie, a berry smoothie, and a slice of salmon quiche. Both were absolutely delicious. I genuinely would like to remake the quiche recipe at home because of how unique it was! The green smoothie tasted very natural and healthy. I would definitely recommend.
For the rating, since I am obviously a tourist, I don't understand the politics of Dublin, but for some reason every store front had a lots of political flags. It was a bit unattractive for me as a customer, but otherwise really appreciated the food and services of the cafe. Also the prices were a bit surprising, we paid $35 for two smoothies, a slice of quiche, and a side of scrambleld eggs, and...
