    Apologies if this is the wrong section and mods feel free to move it to the right one!

    I was just wondering if anyone knows of a place where I can buy figs in Dublin? My partner loves them but she can never find them here! Thanks in advance

    Probably one of the middle eastern grocery shops around the South Circular Road. I think there's one on Clanbrassil St near Harold's X Bridge and another near the Spar on Harcourt St

    You're much more likely to get helpful replies here in the Dublin City forum.

    Moved from Snacks & Sweets.

    Lidl actually has fresh figs sometimes. But try one of the Asian/ middle eastern supermarket

    Yup, my local one (Greenhills Road) has them at the moment. €1.99 for four.

    I've bought them in Dunnes in Cornelscourt recently. Otherwise organic shops like Fallon & Byrne, Salt in Monkstown or The Happy Pear in Greystones might have them.

    It's a few doors down from the Post Office on Leonard's Corner/SCR, left side of the road heading towards Harolds Cross, got some figs there myself a few times :)

    I've bought some at a middle eastern market in Moore street, they even had dates and prickly pears. It's between the Polonez and the Lidl/Aldi.
    Good luck! I love figs too and was delighted to find some in Dublin :D
