( www.listonsfoodstore.ie ; 25 Camden St; lunch €5-12; 9am-6.30pm Mon-Fri, 10am-6pm Sat) The lunchtime
queues streaming out the door of this place are testament to its reputation as Dublin's best
deli. Its sandwiches (with fresh and delicious fillings), roasted-vegetable quiches, rose-
mary potato cakes and sublime salads will have you coming back again and again - the
