Best place to eat packed lunch

doly

Hi All,
I intend bringing my own lunch from next week but haven't noticed anywhere quiet to sit and eat it. I'm mostly in the Arts building but perhaps there's somewhere wonderful in one of the other buildings that you'd like to recommend.

I liked the stats dept. which is on the fifth floor of the lift you get to the left of the library entrance. Look for the sign saying audio visual centre!

I just eat mine on a random patch of grass.

ate lunch in that place beside the book shop (kinda) loads of vending machines and a pair of toilets outside. su shop i think, sell coffee and tea and newsagentcy stuff.

I thought that the fast-food restaurant beside the student centre was alright, they have nice seats and tables outside. Only €4.90 for Kentucky Fried Chicken, chips and a drink.

To fight stats' corner...it has soft, cushioned seats! Yes you heard me, cushioned Outside the SU shop always felt like a railway station to me, too impersonal and uncomfortable.

Don't be telling people about stats!

The sculpture on the bench on the opposite side of the lake from the library is a good one on sunny days, just hang your coat over statue lady's face.

Downstairs in the restaurant, instead of going up the stairs, you go behind them, and go down. Theres couches and chairs and whatnot, depending on when you go it can be nice and quiet

there is also a room in beside 911. sometimes has the tv on

Quiet places I know include the top floor of the Science Hub, and the far side of the lake near O'Reilly Hall.

That's where I eat mine.
Not a bad spot for a bit of reading also, time depending of course...

I havn't had to eat my lunch in UCD yet...

Loadsa free benches near theatre Q. The couches across from theatre L are always full.

The tables in the Conway institute in front of Insomnia. Alternatively, upstairs in the Quinn building (beside Insomnia). If you haven't bothered to pack a lunch one day you can always then grab something in Insomnia. I think they still do the any sandwich + coffee for 5 euro deal.

just go out exploring!!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will absolutely go exploring but UCD is such a big place that it's great to have an idea where to start.

has to be the rendezvous beneath the restaurant
