Good places to eat in Dublin when shopping

culabula88 · 13-01-2008 12:06am #1

Looking for a list of good places to get something to eat when shopping in city centre - nothing special just hot dinner reasonably priced but good food.

While on subject - anywhere in city do all day breakfast?

Arnotts? Bewley's? Debenhams? Jervis Food Court (Pretty Horrible Though)

Was in Arnotts during the week - 15e for a dinner (lasange and chips ) ?? -seems bit expensive for me..

Debenhams seems to be good though .

Any other pubs or places//

yeah 15 seems a bit much for lasange and chips
you might as well go to mcdonalds and get a burger and chips for a fiver

2 good options:
O'Neills on Suffolk Street
The Woolshed on Parnell Street
Both have decent food and not too expensive.

If your near Henry St, i'd recommend Keatings!! It's just at the end of Henry st on Mary street across from Mc Donalds and Toymaster.
Nice atmosphere and food yum too. think for a hot dinner could be around 10e. Plus the decor is something else - renovated church with huge organs and memorial plaques on the wall, very kooky.

Go to the Irish Film Institute in Temple Bar. Amazing food that is for once in my opinion underpriced!! Their home made chips are just fantastic. Practically all meals are under a tenner and guaranteed to fill you!

The Epicurean foood hall on Abbey Street,

Lots of cheap and decent restuarants in there, particulary Taco Taco ans Asian Fusion.

I've always found food there poor plus there seems to be a big scumbag element in there these days. Great interior alright, pity they've gone and sold it to the guys behind Superquinn - don't know how much longer it'll be a pub

Fuscardi (sp??) on Marlbourgh Street. Charlies Chinese restaurants as well.

Mssr Maguire on O'Connell bridge or The Long Stone on Townsend st do food

TGI's at the top of Grafton St. pretty reasonable too.

Did know they sold it though.

I always found that the food in Debenhams was way overpriced for the amount you're getting and I don't think it even tastes that great!! (The one that took over Roches on Henry St anyway, haven't been to the one in Jervis for years!)

watchinpaintdry · 14-01-2008 11:28pm

to name few, although probably none of these do breakfast...

- The Epicurean food hall, Abbey Street (mainly just for "Taco Taco")
- TP Smiths, Jervis St
- IFI (cinema) Temple Bar
- Yamamouri
- Gin Palace, Abbey St
- Juice, Georges St
- Govindas, Angier St
- Fallon & Byrne, Exchequer St

Oh and also wouldn't recommend that Keatings place mentioned before.

I second Taco Taco in the Epicurean Food Hall, the food is lovely!!

+1 The epicurean food hall and yamamori. Also Salamanca on Andrew St for some tapas, wagamamas and for a bit of food on the run the food market in temple bar. The veggie curry is delicious!
