Lolly and Cooks Dublin

Cool market cafe

Kevin from Dublin

About me I was born here in Dublin where I now live and work after some time spent in both London and the Netherlands. I am a part-time picture editor for a national newspaper and freelance travel writer. Besides travel I love my food and attending gigs. Why Dublin?

""Lolly and Cooks" in Dublin's Market Bar is little more than a stall itself, but I love it for a quick bite or coffee to go - oh, their savage rolls..."

In keeping with its location in the same Victorian shopping arcade as The Market Bar, Lolly and Cooks is little more than a market stall itself. This makes it a great place to grab an informal quick bite to eat or indeed just a coffee to go.

They do a great selection of super healthy salads, soups and hot-pots. But they are known particularly for two things. The first is their extensive range of fantastic looking cupcakes. I say fantastic looking, as I don't have a sweet tooth I can't vouch for the taste but if they are as easy on the tongue as they are on the eye then they are sure to be delicious.

The second thing they are renowned for is their somewhat legendary Savage Rolls. Substantial rolls of different flavored pork wrapped in buttery pastry, these I can definitely tell you are heavenly. There is a small counter-top with three or four stools which, if you're lucky enough to grab a free one, make for a great place to enjoy some food or a drink and soak up the buzz of the arcade.

I am a part-time picture editor for a national newspaper and freelance travel writer. Besides travel I love my food and attending gigs. Why Dublin? With some of the best music, food, and of course bars, there is a welcoming buzz to my city to rival any, which is why I love Dublin. The Irish are known throughout the world for being welcoming and I like to think that you will find that wherever you go. A short drive from both th...

You might've heard exaggerations like 'this is the best burger in town.' But "Dash Burger" is different. I wouldn't mind not eating anything else ever again.
