Ok, this might sound like an odd one, but if you get a chance to go to the UCD Sports Café, please do! Yes, it is on the UCD campus but it’s not only frequented by students, but also by people from the nearby Business campus and Crunch gym-goers. They have a decent salad bar and hot food at lunch-time. It’s basic– it is a college after all– but good and cheap. They also make the best lattes in the area– not just on campus– and they do have some lovely comfy chairs from which you can see the pitches. The place is sorta tucked away and a lot of people tend to forget about it, but it’s nice if you have some time to kill before or after your workout or just want to stay dry when it’s raining.
