This sounds fantastic, with a bit of planning seeing as there is so much furniture etc there you could live in Ikea for a about €35 a week.

Hmm I think you have stumbled upon somthing here. At night time they could rent out the display beds to kip in. Ring Paul Reid the Ikea Store manager there. Take 10% commision bobs your nephew!:D
7.99 per night all in
Brekkie and Bed deal 9.99

Got the chicken there, it definitely wasnt chicken fillet. Was more like spam or something. Its cheap but its not food of any decent quality at all

You get what you pay for really.

Pretty similar to the furniture they sell. The bulk of it is compressed cardboard and wood fiber it's sh1te.

I ate there once and it was very cheap and super bland.

Large meatballs, chips and salad.
Washed down with unlimited fizzy drinks.
Finished by dime bar cake.

Excellent. I love going to ikea!!

Had a "turkey dinner" in there last Xmas.. portions were tiny and the roast spuds were disgusting and burnt to a crisp..

The Dáim cake is to die for though.. They're mad for Dáim in there..

This idea that the cheapest food we can get our hands on is the best option is a good chunk of the reason why we are a nation of fat layabouts.
We should be spending more on food not taking part in a race to buy the cheapest crap we can get our hands on.

I've never had a bad experience in their restaurant. The ones in Europe are significantly nicer than the ones in the US, but I guess that goes without saying. And it's the only place this side of Copenhagen to get a decent piece of Smørrebrød.

You miss the point,us fat layabouts pay over the odds for food 24/7. Finally when someone offers value for money,it's cheap crap!? Is paying top dollar so ingrained in us now that if someone offers value it's suspect?

The gaurds just head into the co-worker canteen in the dublin one they get the food even cheaper.

Yeah, food isn't bad at all.

Last time I was there I sat next to a family of 5, kids filling up on €1 pasta, I got the impression they didn't even realise the was a furniture shop below...

Fair play, I'd have my lunch there too if it was local.

You could feed a family of 5 for a week with 5 euro's worth of pasta if you cooked it yourself....

I lived in Dijon about 6 years ago when their IKEA opened. Now you'd imagine the French have standards about food and such. Nope. Like flies to sh1te. And imagine the Euro per arse-on-seat ratio - must have been woeful.

Still at one meatball per hour, furniture has got to come up in conversation right?

IKEA are not Santa Inc. It's for a reason

yeah i heard its lovely if your pallet is accustomed to meat that's suitable for dog food.

but get them genetically modified veggies into ya whatever ya do.

If the food is of low quality - which I have found Ikea food to be - it doesn't represent good value, at least not to me. Ikea food IS cheap crap.

I refuse to pay over the odds for food, but if the food is of a good standard, I don't mind paying a few pounds extra. When I lived in Dublin (moved away in February 2010), I knew many very good places to eat, that didn't break the bank. Did the lunches cost 2 Euro? No. Were they cooked nicely with decent ingredients? Yes! THAT to me is value for money.

Also, I don't understand the hype of Ikea meatballs. I had them and they were bland and entirely unremarkable.

Actually, Lidl has some genuinely good products. They also have substandard products. You have to pick and choose when you shop there.

i liked their premium pizzas but they got found out - too salty. i liked their chocolate cheesecake as well but it got boring; quicker than most competitors

I think the under 5 Calpol may well have been my favourite flavour of anything ever.

Didn't find the food great in Ikea, the hotdog and chips were better than the meatballs.

I like what they do though.

You should go up there with your Jamie Oliver t shirt on and tell them that, I don't care what they do.

Sorry, that was meant to have a :P at the end...

I never actually eaten either of those Lidl products - I try to avoid cheesecake at all times because it's evil!!!
