For me theres no question at all. Its McDonaughs (not sure bout spelling but its pronounced Mc Done-ahs) in Salthill, Co.Galway. It 93 miles from my house so dont worry about local bias.

The Miami in Ashtown, just off the Navan Road.

I heartily recommend their Snack Boxes with 2 breasts.

it's McDonaghs, and yes it is the nicest chipper around

Well being a Cork boyo I'd have to go for Lennox's... I've never been to McDonagh's myself but I have heard a lot of people rave about it so it may well be the best chipper in Ireland.

PPC · 13-07-2002 10:44pm

Well make a trip to Tramore and get yourself a bag of chips.

C'mon Walkers is the best chipper in the City but Cunninghams is the best in the County.

OLDYELLAR · 13-07-2002 10:51pm

I'm from Salthill, and I didn't know there was a McDonaghs in Salthill. The only McDonaghs I know in Galway, is at the end of Quay St. in town, and yes it's the best chipper IMO (but I'm more of a pizza person)

Friday at lunch time is the best.

thanking you kindly !

Joe's Take Away in Kilkenny rocks

The Roma Café in Carlow isn't bad either.

cujimmy · 13-07-2002 11:50pm

Burdocks in Dublin
Hippy Chippy in Glasgow

DapperGent · 14-07-2002 6:33pm

Macaris (?) in Roscommon Town just beaten out by The Seashell off Pearse St. in Dublin. I'm not even sure if the Seashell is there anymore (I saw planning application stuff last time I was there) but man alive it had the greatest chips AND they'd batter a mars bar for you. Fantastic.

Oh my god, is Cunningham's still open in Tramore. I lived in Pinegrove Heights (near the CBS) for a year when I was six (that's twenty years ago!), and I used to love that place. That was the same year that the guy who owned an amusement arcade down by the sea was murdered if those days ring a bell with anyone.

Can you still get blahs in the bakeries there? Is it only Waterford that sells them.

In Galway, I'd have to agree that McDonogh's is the best, with Conlon's on Eglinton Street a close second.

Yes there still open and still tastier than ever.

And Waterford is not complete with out a blaa.

stevoslice · 15-07-2002 10:44am

Donkey Ford's in Limerick.

The food is fantastic, the chip's were voted one of the nicest in ireland on a today fm survey thingy.

Mmm....Cunninghams - rip off merchants but class chipper. And do you mean Pine Grove near the Holy Cross school?

Up in Dublin I've discovered (much to my backside's discomfort) San Marino in Windy Arbour. Gorgeous chips and chicken fillet burger *drools*

Doper Than U · 12-10-2004 5:17pm

Macari's in Dundrum, superb chips and chicken kebabs

I just discovered Macari's in Dundrum about a month ago. They have the best chips on the planet, BAR NONE! I have never tasted chipper chips as good as these.. none of your pasty, insipid yellow, hard on the inside, damp and warm on the outside chips.. these are crispy, golden brown, piping hot, salty and vinegary and soft as you like in the middle. Superb.

scojones · 12-10-2004 5:22pm

Lennox's on Bandon Road in Cork City. Ask U2

RE*AC*TOR · 12-10-2004 5:26pm

yeah you can still get blahs, cunninghmas is still open. Life moves at a slower pace in waterford.

*edit* oh yeah, and ballybricken IS a kip. Gonorrhea anyone?

JW123 · 12-10-2004 5:29pm

Lennoxs in Cork, McDonaghs in Galway, that little one opposite Croke Park in Dublin, can't think of the name, some sort of Chinese place but they do lovely half-pounder burgers!!

pixie_student · 12-10-2004 6:10pm

Blas aint been the same since harneys became baker street

Walkers is the best chipper in town.. scallop butty anyone?

Cunninghams is probably the nicest in the county.

The Golden Fry is worth a mention too.. chip butty's there are nice!
