    If its fish and chips your after it has to be Burdocks in Christchurch, hands down the best, never been disappointed, always fantastic.


    except when they roll up your fish and ended up smushing your chips into a tasty goo

    Roma in finglas and the Hole in the Wall chipper beside the Cardiff are surprisingly good chippers.

    Years ago maybe, gone to muck recently.


    Macari's in Inchicore, The Bistro on Clanbrassil St. and Apriles on South Richmond St. would be a few of my picks.

    The chipper that is in the row of shops opposite the Beaumont House is mighty fine.I think it might be called al's?

    PS. Avoid The Cosy chipper in Artane.

    Leo Burdocks I would say, their fish and chips are fantastic.

    Been a few years since I had it though.


    Probably the worse chipper in the country.

    I worked beside it for along time and out of desparation I'd try it now and then, 100% of the time the sh*t they served as food was chucked in a bin.

    If its a soggy, mushy pile of dog crap you want then Burdocks is your only man.

    Burdocks in Christchurch- moist, mushy, soggy, tasteless and expensive.

    The Haddock and chips meal in the Kingfisher on Parnell Street is exquisite.(I'm sure you can get takeaway as well).

    There's a chipper with Chinese staff at the top of Capel Street that does nice chips and great burgers. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of it - but it's near the Parnell Street end.

    It used to have a crazy Italian name which I can't recall right now, but I presume it was taken over by the Irish guy who worked there for as long as I can remember as it's now called Johns. It does good chips most of the time and the meal deals are actually good value.

    Alex's, my usual for chipper. Nothing amazing, do a good quarter pounder.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    It used to be one of the best. But definitely has declined in recent years. (as have a lot of chippers for some reason)

    It's still not that bad though... and the Cosy Burger they have on the menu is very nice.

    The Rimini on Collins Avenue (D9) or the A1 chipper beside the Ardlea Inn (D5). They were favourites of mine when I lived at home. I've been living in D6W/12 areas for the past few years but I haven't found any as good over here yet :(

    That's the Alpine Grill. They certainly were one of the first chippers I seen to really start to diversify by doing pizzas and kebabs.

    I've never been to crazy about their chips though... a little oily... but they do seem to have plenty of the little crispy chips which I love.

    It had a great Pizza Place next door called Pizza Perfection which is now sadly closed.

    But they had this bad boy on the menu:

    Nutella chocolate spread and Marshmallows with chocolate chips covered in a chocolate sauce.

    Fuscos on Meath Street is nice but the owners are scary.
    There's another one on James Street, I can't remember its name but they used to have lovely burgers.

    That place in Corduff is praised by my co-workers :)

    Went to Beshoffs on O'Connell st recently, worst meal ever for fish & chips. It was as if the food was kept hot way after cooking time so as to serve them fast :mad:

    Have to say I'm very disappointed with Burdock's these days. I reckon the boom went to their heads and now they are dishing out overpriced fish and chips which are okay but nothing special. Not like the used to be!

    Luigis in Ranelagh and Aprile in Portobello were always winners for me, but dunno if they have fallen down the same path as Burdocks.

    Have to agree with the above, Mizzonis in Rathgar is fairly good too.

    Not living in Dublin a while either, but will also go for the walkinstown Borza's. But if you want to give her a real treat, day trip to Tramore, the best fish and chips in the country (!) is on the pier there beside the amusement arcade, don't know name, but the fish is so good you'll back again, so just eat across the road on the sea front !

    Used to live around the corner from it when it was Quirkes and it was amazing. Haven't been there in years though.

    I'd say the Airport Takeaways the best one by far.


    wholeheartedly agree. won a poll also on fm104 phoneshow before. although phone in polls arnt a great indicator, particularly on a shambles of a radio station like fm104, but the taste and quality of the chipper is unrivaled on my palate.
