Solid sandwich shop/carvery with strong coffee offerings as well (and even have their own line for coffee so as not to interrupt the food goers). Had the chipotle beef sandwich today and it was great. Tender roasted Irish beef with a nice chipotle sauce and a spicy coleslaw balanced with some Monterey jack cheese. The sandwich was made with a perfect and fresh bread roll which really took the sandwich to a whole other level.
Génial ! Terrasse au soleil, sandwichs incroyables, nous reviendrons !one of the nicest sandwich shops in the city and good coffee too...
Buffalo Chicken sandwich was great, staff friendly and efficient
Probably my favorite sandwich place in Ireland. Quality fresh, ingredients and unbelievably tasty
Absolutely smashing...honestly unreal,one of the best rolls in dublin or even I've ever had! Coffee nice too
For the price, the quality of the sandwiches was great. The Caprese sandwich had a generous amount of fresh mozzarella and was a perfect quick lunch.
Carved Sandwiches is delicious and super efficient. The service is very fast, especially at lunchtime, which is great... I tried the special this week, the Reuben, and it was absolutely fantastic. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to.
Incredible sambos here. Don't be intimidated by the line, it moves quick. We got the ham and the chipotle beef and both were amazing. Quality ingredients and fast service. A good amount of seating inside and outside. Will definitely be coming back.
Read about the place yesterday in an article saying it’s the spot for proper Christmas sandwiches... The Christmas special was unreal, packed full of flavour, and the drink I grabbed was surprisingly good too. Service was rapid even with the queue, and the lads behind the counter were sound.
Good to know
- Arrive early or be prepared for a queue at lunchtime because the place fills up quickly.
- Order the weekly special to discover creative combinations like the Reuben or the Christmas special.
- Get a coffee at the same time: several customers highlight that the coffee is good and there's a separate line.
- Choose a table on the terrace when it's sunny to enjoy the outdoors at Grand Canal Dock.
- Check for allergens before ordering as one customer reported a lack of labelling for dairy products.
- Take the sandwich to go if you're in a hurry: the service is fast even with a queue.
- Try the chipotle beef or the buffalo chicken if you like bold, well-balanced flavors.
- Pair your sandwich with a side or a drink to make it a proper full meal.
