  1. i am a fan !
    salads are usually delish .. crayfish one is my fave x

  2. Unfortunately for my bank balance I work near an M&S and am always popping in for veg for dinner, soups for lunch or some of their count on us desserts….would love to try the new restaurant!

  3. M&S food is tasty and innovative in its presentation.

  4. Oooh pick me pick me! I agree with Nora above, the bangers and mash in the restaurant are really good. Would also recommend the eggs benedict – I love their hollandaise sauce…

  5. I’m a big fan of M&S food. Love the Dine in for Two!!

  6. Love their food, go to their supermarket whenever I’m in Cork. Would love to go to their restaurant.

  7. please pick me!

  8. Mmmmmmmmmmm&S…. I’ll do it justice!

  9. M&S meals are a godsend when working late. Good quality, tasty food. The €12.50 meal deal is a great idea to capture new customers, who thought perhaps that the food was too expensive. I don’t feel guilty buying M&S ready meals – I trust M&S above any other supermarket.

  10. wow – how to make their meal deal even better.

  11. Dined here once and it was fab, good price, good food, important in these times, as one due to be laid off soon, a trip to M&S Restaurant would be a great treat

  12. Please help me as a poor uneducated lad from bray i have never been fortunate to taste the delicious food described in all the articles ive read about M & S food.
    I beg you sir let this simple boys life experence the pleasure he has only dreamed about and let my taste buds explode into life as i devour a M & S meal for the very first time.
    Thank you for your time.

  13. I love their carrot salad and they’re the only shop where you can buy berries and they’re still good two to three days later. Great quality and selection!

  14. Love M&S food especially their fresh fruit.

  15. Just tucked into “lightly dusted, seeded cod fillets”, they came in a package with a printed newspaper on the base, clever!

  16. M&S food is tasty, and I love the variety!! My only ask would be a lot less packaging. I eat my lovely meal, and then I look around at the plastic and other non-recyclable items, and I feel guilty………….please take away the guilt!

  17. Tried the dine in for €12.50 recently and it was very very good. The packaging puts me off trying it again. But at the moment the white nectarines at M&S are really delicious.

  18. Love the food from M&S! very tasty!

  19. M&S is good clean fun. Unlike S&M. That’s dirty.

  20. when it seems like everybody else is on holidays, it would be nice to sit in the rooftop terrace and watch the holidaymakers and worker-bees underneath.

  21. High quality,tasty treat. Streets above the rest!

  22. Love M&S for making good food accessible to those of us on tighter budgets with the dine in for two for 12.50 offer. always try to get instore for it every forthnight. Thanks also to cheap eats for letting me know about the roof top restaurant which I never knew existed before today. Will definitely try it out asap. I love your tips, keep up the great work!

  23. M&S cookies, their selection of disturbingly low-priced delicious wines, the meal deals, seasonal gifts (My mum loved the orchid I got her form m&s on mother’s day!), the percy pigs sweets, the desserts (guaranteed always delicious….yuuuuuum), and the general variety of fancy foods at low prices, with all the nutritional info printed in plain sight. Also, the low-fat humous!

    If the food they sell pre-prepared is anything to go by I can’t wait to try the food they serve up fresh!

    -And a rooftop terrace no less, what’s not to love?

  24. always look forward to M&S food as a treat. heard good things about the restaurant also

  25. Good news that M & S are increasing their stock of Irish food.

  26. Super food every time, guaranteed to satisfy

  27. Great food, worth the extra price

  28. great food at M&S, head and shoulders above the other supermarket ranges…

  29. I love m&s food. Dine in for 2 has never disappointed.

  30. The world is a better place for having M&S food in it, particularly their dessert range mmm.

  31. I love M & S food, would love to be able to do my shopping there all the time but cant so when I want a special treat I buy something from there, The dine in for 2 offer is fantastic value

  32. I absolutely love M&S food. They have a fantastic selection of food and wine and great value too. The meal for two is particularly good value and makes the weekend extra special.

  33. We visited the new M&S store in Clonmel and the restaurant there has a lovely choice and shopped in the supermarket The moussaka was lovely and there is a great selection. So I would love to win as I’m a great supported of theirs over the years.

  34. I like the way M&S covers the traditional dishes (like cornish pasties) as well as the more exotic ones. And those fresh-baked cookies should be outlawed – I can’t resist them.

  35. Whenever I travel up to Dublin from the “country”, I always buy something from M&S. I am never disappointed, and always wind up eating half of the stash on the train home. Such a culchie!

  36. Dine in for two has single handedly made up for a savings induced abject lack of a social life. If I’m in on a Saturday I want me something delicious!

  37. Super food, always easy to cook for us batchelors

  38. If you had to buy the ingredients to make these meals, they would cost more.

  39. I love M&S Dine in for 2 deals, it’s the best value around. Would love to try the restaurant.

  40. Some great deals at M&S lately & the snack pack veg are great if you want a healthy snack on the go!!

  41. Love M&S reduced fat hummous, but really prefer their pants.

  42. Love M&S red pepper hummous. And their chorizo!

  43. This is not just any food…. this is M&S food!

  44. The bbq chicken pizza is soooo good, and their low fat hummus. Percy pigs are the business!! I can never go in there for one thing!!!

  45. Very tasty food, tastes like homemade

  46. Dinner from M&S is a guilty pleasure, the last of the treats and makes me feel like a child going home with a bag of sweets. Would love to try the restaurant!
