I ate there yesterday myself and had the very same… and a carton of Caprisun… the last time I had a Caprisun, it must have been in my schoolbag with a ham sandwich! The only complaint I had was that there were no fizzy drinks available.

Otherwise, I agree completely, the chips were nice and bright and crispy and the fish nice too… not too greasy.

Ah yes Claire, though I’m partial to Bartie’s in Ballyphehane. However, when you’re a Cork person living in Dublin, you have to make do elsewhere.

Thanks for the review Peter, must try them out sometime.

@Claire KC’s chips are rubbish. the golden fry in ballinlough is much better.
Now that im living in the pale, the chipper by the ashleaf shopping centre, whose name i can’t remember, is my spot for chips. They do awesome chips.
As i don’t eat fish i cannot comment on their awesomeness or lack thereof, but both spots do good onion rings

For shame to the Cork nay sayers!

For me, the best chips are from the chipper on the south quays across from McAodhs.

Place near Ashleaf is Borza, they also have a branch on Cromwellsfort Road, and have heard loads of people say that they’re the best chips in Dublin but it’d have to be Burdocks for me!

Have eaten in Beshoffs both in O’Connell St and Howth.
Agree with review.Beautiful smoked cod and excellent chips.They are just right not too greasy.the fish’s batter is a wonderous thing not too hard just right.

I’ve now got a goo on me. Will have to run over to Mespil Road very soon. Beshoffs on Mespil Road is the best anywhere. Yum, yum

Completely disagree with you on Leo Burdocks being the best. Being a Northsider I’ve only tried the one in town but I found it incredibly over priced and not even in the same league as the local shitbox chipper Gulio’s. Beshoff’s In howth (the original) is the best chipper in Dublin by a mile in my opinion all though it is quite expensive as well.
