I know sure. Itâs like Paris on the Shannon.
Arc de Triomphe
The entrance to
the peoples park
Place Vendome
Rice memorial
Notre Dame
St. Johns Cathedral
The Seine
The Shannon
Practically no difference there between them.
Sarsfield bridge is a replica of a famous Paris bridge that has since been demolished.
Limerick 1 Paris 0
No trip to Paris is complete without visiting Limerick.
Limerick, itâs Paris without the terrorists
Paris without the Parisians
I went to this Canteen place on Mallow Street a little earlier to see what all the fuss was about, as there were a few recommendations knocking about for it here. Food was fairly good but it would appear itâs main selling point is it appeals to cunts who will all flock there to A. to be seen by other cunts and/or B. to look cool. There were only two types of people there when i was in there: 1. many businessmen, all in suits. About 5-6 different groupings or solo gentlemen of this description came and went while i was in there. Good few of them just ordered coffee to go. There were three right looking cunts in suits convening some kind of âbusiness lunch meetingâ at one of the tables. And the other type of client they had, 2. was hipsters. There were about as many hipster looking cunts came and went too in casual clothes and each one of them to a man had a beard, most of them were gingers too oddly. Even the male waitor chap was a hipster decked out with a full beard. They all engaged in this awful cringey forced banter with the waitress who was a yank and she was covered in tattoos, she was also a hipster. Despite that she was the only person in there besides myself who could maybe possibly pass as a non cunt. It was like an establishment youâd get in New York, not Limerick. Sorry but not for me.
What did you order?
I personally think itâs a tad overrated. A friend boycotted it after he went in for the breakfast (probably called brunch for those wankers) one morning. They served it up and said âsorry, thereâs no eggs leftâ. No replacement for the eggs (an extra sausage or whatever) and he still was asked to pay full whack.
Were you in there today?
Thatâs fair enough. To be honest i didnât get much bang for my buck with what i got. Albeit it was nice i was hungry walking out of there.
Yeah, I went a few times in its early days. The grub was nice but I like a big portion (the roaster in me) which youâd never get in there.

Iâve never darkened the door of the place since I got that horrendous wrap there. A load of shit. Glas loves it which tells you all you need to know really.
Christ
Dublin is full of these type of places.
I was up there recently and passed a place that is obviously trying to sell itself as a trendy chipper. The window said âFish, Chips & Wineâ, serving staff very smartly turned out and the place empty.
On my stroll today I noticed every second unit is a food outlet of some description and the majority seem to be trying to latch onto the health and wellness trend.
Can i nominate âCanteenâ the establishment for COTY 2016? Is there a precedent for nominating a place in lieu of a person?
The output in Canteen is quite good to be fair but where they are falling down is the portion sizes for one thing but more importantly the utter, utter cunt of a clientele base they have crawling and sniveling about the place.
