Recommended Lunches in Limerick?

Yes, I know there's a restaurant + takeaway sticky, and I'll look at that for a dinner or whatever - but what's currently good for "Friday treat" style lunch in the city? Don't go into town ever for lunch so I'd have no idea. As it's pretty much a once-off, quality more important than super-recession busting deals (but if you can combine the two...).
No carvery please. Walking distance of city centre.

I like the Strand for lunch. The Absolute used and may still do some good value lunches. Quality in both hotels would be good.

I'd go with the Cornstore.

Bella Italia is nice but can be very filling for that hour of the day.

I go to Paparazzi on Denmark St. (Opposite Z We Ton) for my Friday lunch treat, I looove it.

Very tasty, perfect lunch-time portion sizes, all made fresh in front of you, staff are lovel and it's very reasonable

Cool thanks for the replies so far. Herself isn't a fan of Paparazzi for some reason. La cucina is a bit far for a leisurely stroll:D

My bad - is Milano's opened then? Get a seat by the window and watch the world pass you by

Milano's or Cornstore for me.

The Sinbin has always been top-notch for lunch IMHO.

Having recently tried the new tapas menu at Aubars I'd give it a thumbs up
Cornstore is good, and aren't Azur doing Lunch now.....Always good there

Thanks for all the suggestions, must file them away for future reference, looks like we're going more towards the greasy side of Friday Treat rather than the classy side...:D

The Trinty rooms do the best value lunch in Limerick at the moment.
It's €2.75 for a good quality sandwich and €1 for chips with it.

A good feed for less than €4. Probably not in the Friday treat category, but definitely good value for any other day.

Enzo's is perfect (make sure you eat-in for the total experience)

Pier 1 is super and they also do a great breakfast,across from the closed dunnes at the bridge.

Hi OP,

If its classy you want then look no further than The Savoy hotel. Went here last week for coffee and scones and it was fantastic...a real treat. The Liszt lounge upstairs is nice and relaxing and it's bang right in the city centre.

Oh hell yeah!
Proof that food is not just a greasy mess that you shovel into you to fill yourself up as if recharging a battery.
I love the fact it's all so unapologetically Italian, they once tried to pander to the student market by offering chicken and chips, realised the error of their ways and said "this is an Italian restaurant, if you want chips, go to a chipper"
Gotta love the Italians, food, fashion, art, architecture, automobiles, to name but a few, all done out of passion and love, rather than necessity.
