    I don't remember a €10 lunch menu. .. here's their site.

    I like the chicken stack in the windsor. Their lunch menu is reasonable, but if you pop in around 3pm you'll find it's the more expensive evening menu and I'm not sure it's worth it when the likes of the Lisdoo and the malthouse have reasonably priced barfood all day

    Riva on Earl Street isn't a bad spot for lunch, menus is a little bit limited.
    Market Bar is top class though, always great food.

    Looks like the Left Bank are trying to re-invent themselves a little. Still, there's something unsettling about the Left Bank. I tried it a few times and when they're doing offers it's reasonable, but I think the owner has a bit of an attitude problem and it flows down to the staff.

    I've heard of someone buying from the expensive set menu (€30 or so), and asking to substitute an item from the less expensive menu (say €20). When the bill came they were charged a-la-carte prices for each item, so over €40!

    Also, the "grill" menu isn't exactly tempting. It's just "buy plain cod, then spend twice as much on sides that may or may not go with it." The likes of the market bar do some nice dishes at lunchtime without you having to hobble together the sides.

    Bad management seems to be the only thing holding back the Left Bank. I've always enjoyed the food and the premises itself is nice, but cheapening its brand into becoming some grill joint and a reputation for moody upper staff put me off going again.

    The lunch in the Lisdoo is nice.
    The only problem is that the vegetables never change. Always carrots and cabbage.

    The Malthouse and the Park restaurant can be nice however the Park is carvery and i don't like queueing.

    It seems that it was only closed because of the bad colour of the water in the taps due to something outside their control in fairness to them. Closed for a day until the problem was rectified I was told.

    Tried it last week for the first time and it was fab, so reasonable too.
    We had eggs florentine that even cane with chips plus soup and salad, it came to €9!
    I love the market bar and Riva too, used to love the left bank but you nearly feel like they're doing you a favour serving you and I think they're very scabby with their prices and everything being extra

    I'd find it hard to pass Riva or The Foodhouse for lunch,soup and sambos are amazing in both places.
    Anybody been to Relish Yet? I went on Thursday for lunch and was very disappointed.Was really looking forward to it as have heard great things,but thought it was very very expensive and a tad pretentious.Found the service very forced and slow.Deli/takeaway prices are a laugh,celtic tiger prices.6.50 for a take away sandwich with 3 fillings is a joke.Not even made to order just lifted out of the deli counter.I really think this place will struggle when the initial fuss dies down unless they review their pricing.
