    I had a lovely experience in Angelina’s. It was my first visit. The decor was fabulous. We arrived early and they were able to accommodate us. We sat in the terrace and the view of the canal was beautiful and peaceful. The service was really good and the food was delicious. I had the crispy honey chicken on waffle and will definitely order this again in my next visit. My dad had the full breakfast and was very happy with his meal. I had a non alcoholic cocktail and it was well worth it. The restaurant was really clean as the bathroom too. Full marks for Angelina’s. It’s now my favourite place to eat in Dublin.
