We shared the calamari starter, and each had the prawn Thai curry, both were delicious and plenty. Glass of Malbec was also very nice and served at the correct temperature. Staff very accommodating when we asked to move as we were beside the entrance and we had been cold coming in!

I have dined here several times over the years but this was my first early evening experience. Was happy with the service, as the servers were friendly and efficient. Will dine here again on my next visit to cinema

I always enjoy eating here, you get the nice cinema vibe along with comfort. Had fish and sweet potato fries, my friend had chicken burger. Very tasty. Wines were pinot grigio and verdejo. I love that you get an option of medium or large glass. On previous occasions I've had the cheese board which I highly recommend.

It’s been a while since we’ve eaten at the IFI café. The atmosphere was buzzing. We ordered the calamari to share as a starter & wow what a taste sensation. Mains we tried old favourites of fish and chips & beef burger. Both were top notch, but the burger in particular was 10/10. If you’re looking for a hidden gem in Dublin, then head here for some unexpectedly delicious food.

Service was expectional. Food was excellent - the battered fish was cooked to perfection. The 70’s presented trifle of mango, passionfruit was an unusual take on a classic and was a delight. Others who had the burgers said they were delicious too.
