Thanks for the info Valarie but really we are stretching by suggesting that One Perry Square and Sage are cheap eats because they are not. Limerick is seriously deprived of cheap eats (that are worth eating in anyway). Probably the best is Tavola Calda on Mallow Street (although you have to seriously excuse the awful decor). For pure take away, nothing can beat Cheap As Chips on Mulgrave Street for both excellent quality in chips, fish and burgers at excellent prices and not a bad diner area for a chipper either.
Hi Frank
Thanks for that. I agree neither place is cheap but Jean did ask for places that I felt were value for money and I feel that Sage and No.1 Pery Square are. I’ve been meaning to give Tavola Calda a try so thaks for the suggestion and I’ve also heard Cheap as Chips is great so will try there too. Please send in all tips and we will add them to the posts

I would recommend La Piccola Pizzeria, on O’Connell Street, in Limerick they have a lovely selection of pasta/ pizzia dishes and their Prawn Risotto is to die for. You can have it as a starter or a main course. A glass of wine and main course would normally be around 16.00 Its lovely and cosy and service and staff are excellent.
That’s a fair point Frank…Val did ask me to note that the places weren’t all cheap but still good value, but I spaced out and forgot to do it. I’ve updated the post now to make it clearer. 🙂
Hi Michelle
Thanks for that suggestion, and I agree, it’s a great spot. I love the mussels in white sauce and piped potato, so retro and so yumm.
Also I would like to add La Cucina, in Castletroy, very casual, great pizza, Chilli Kebabish, Ellen St – best curry in town, The Grove, Cecil St – fresh old school veggie grub, cheap and when it’s gone, it’s gone.
Hi Jean, Val –
Just saw yesterday in the Limerick Post that Number 1 Pery Square are offering 2 course lunch for €15, 3 course for €20 Monday to Saturday, which to be honest doesn’t sound all that bad considering the sample – maybe I was wrong after all!
Have to concur with Val on The Grove and La Cucina also. The ciabattas in LC are the best in Limerick and a good price too.
Another recommendation is the kebab place on Davis Street – great value and they make the bread/wrap fresh to order also.
