I’ll definitely be coming back again! This is my third time at Bowls Healthy Eating and the experience is still impeccable. The food quality, amazing flavors, and cozy atmosphere make it a fantastic choice every time. The staff are also great, always friendly, attentive, and make you feel very welcome. Highly recommended!
My husband and I regularly have lunch here. The weekly specials are to die for. And if by any small chance we don't get the special, there are plenty of fabulous menu staples to choose from. Food is fresh, healthy and prepared in full view by Andy the chef.
First time in, and I’ll tell ya, I’ll be back for sure. The lads were sound, service was quick, and the chicken wrap was top notch... proper tasty altogether. Portions are grand, you won’t be leaving hungry...
By far the best lunch in Raheny, and for good value. Lots of variety in the daily specials which keeps us coming back. Love the Mexican influence on the food especially.
Always serving delicious very well balanced, perfectly cooked breakfast and lunch. Today's brunch with brisket beef on real sourdough, eggs and Japanese flavours is another great taste and value example!
The best place for lunch! So tasty and loads of vegan options
Chef is very creative, and the food is consistent and delicious! Healthy eating at its best. Place can get quick packed and limited opening hours but they do have seating in a covered outdoor area.
Mexican night 1/3/2024 was absolutely fabulous. Food was amazing and lovely atmosphere and very friendly helpful staff. Looking forward to doing it again well done to everyone.
Had breakfast/brunch here last week for the first time. The food is absolutely amazing! I got the halloumi dish. We couldn't believe the value for money. I cant wait to go back to try another dish.
The food here is excellent with different specials every day and interesting flavour combinations. It's the kind of place where you can't decide what to have because you want everything..
Good to know

- Check the weekly specials before you go as they are the highlight for most regulars and sell out fast.
- Try the Mexican-influenced dishes or specials as multiple customers specifically rave about these flavours.
- The late breakfast from 10 am is popular for brunch lovers, with items like brisket on sourdough highly recommended.
- Seating is limited inside so be prepared to use the covered outdoor area during busier times.
- Cash or card both work fine and many mention leaving a small tip as the value is excellent.
- Don't visit on Sunday as the cafe is closed every week, a frequent request from customers.
- Portions are very filling so consider sharing or taking leftovers if you're not very hungry.
