Best Donuts in Dún Laoghaire

"The iconic O’Connell Street location has been a favourite of passersby for years on end. The distinctive donut-y smell just can’t be beat, even when you’re not stopping in for one. They’re old school donuts as well – giving them a kick of nostalgia to add to the deliciousness."

"The older sister of the original shop, this place is similar to Aungier Danger and its menu includes a colourful and imaginative selection of donuts. Placing an emphasis on flavour, they've become a favourite in only a short amount of time."

"There seems to be a million of these around Dublin city, and thank goodness for that. One of my favorites is the Vegan Vanilla Glaze with Pistachio, yum!"

"Making Magic Everyday is their restaurant’s motto, and they surely sprinkle some of that magic in their most affordable, handmade and Instagram-worthy donuts, served in Westland Row, Dublin. Their artistic showmanship has been praised by a myriad of food critics—some reviews mention that they serve the best donuts in the world!. With a price range of €6.00 for a box of 3 creamy, Premium, vegan-friendly donuts, Offbeat Donut Co. offers the finest and the most affordable."

"Combining handmade donuts with ridiculously inventive flavours (a 99, anyone?) They’re sold in a couple of locations in Dublin – like the 147 Café on Parnell Street, Vice Coffee, and the Dublin Barista Company as well as directly from the source."

"The place that put donuts on the map, 'Aungier Danger' is paving the way for Dublin's donut scene. Featuring a huge inventive and mouth-watering selection including banoffee, honey foam and raspberry ripple – these guys know how to impress."

"The new kid on the block – but if the queues out the door during its first week have told us anything, it’s that they are seriously popular. The flavour creations are excellent and the quality is seriously fresh."

"This other much loved local chain sells some of the most decadent donuts you'll find. From Nutella ring donuts to peanut buttercup flavour, their moreish fillings and toppings will satisfy even the sweetest tooth. They've even recently started selling UNICORN donuts which pretty much makes them legends in our eyes."

"We ate this unicorn donut at Offbeat Donut Company in the land of leprechauns. The irony is palpable. It was a dark day when we realized that our favorite Dublin donut shop had closed."

"I’m always intrigued by the flavors, from every chocolate combo imaginable to the above pictured lemon meringue and banoffee options at Offbeat Donuts."

"You don't have to eat Krispy Kreme to know what a real American donut tastes like. As the name suggests, these gorgeous donuts are like a bite of American life with flavours such as s'more, cookie monster and of course the famous Boston creme."

"Rascals have a pretty healthy-sized outdoor area, but part of it is covered over with massive covers and canopies. Stillgarden Distillery situated beside Rascals also have a big marquee set up for those looking for cocktails. You can find Rascals in Inchicore off the Tyrconnell Road, visit their website for booking information."

"Location was key to Devlin and her husband when founding Rascals. “We always dreamed of having a city-accessible brewery that people could visit, and where we could offers tours. We have renovated the building, totally transforming it so it’s suitable for a brewery and restaurant,” Devlin says."

"Porterhouse Central on Nassau Street is the 2nd Porterhouse location in Dublin. Thanks to being off Grafton Street just a little bit further from the heart of the nightlife action, it was much more chill than other pubs were on the same night I visited. I had the Celebration Stout, which had been created for the brewery’s 20th anniversary."

"This ultra-chic Temple Bar bistro has been recognised by the Michelin Guide for their innovative fusion of Irish and French cuisines. Acclaimed chef Stephen Gibson spent a decade working all over the world, culminating in Pichet's exciting à la carte menu that simply must be tasted."

"14-15 Trinity St, Dublin 2 Pichet is an award-winning, leading modern bistro which holds a Bid Gourmand from the Michelin Guide. The bistro will offer you quality dining, in a chic but still informal atmosphere. The food is being described as French, but with an Irish twist."

"You'll find locally-inspired dishes with a French twist at this Trinity Street spot. The menus are changed regularly but you'll always find something to tickle your taste buds. A great option if you've got something to celebrate."

"For hearty portions and low prices, you can’t beat this casual restaurant which specialises in big, bold French flavours (although it must be noted that this is a less authentic French experience when compared to other options our list). Le Bon Crubeen has the added benefit of being close to the Abbey Theatre, so makes the perfect pre-show spot to enjoy a bite to eat. While the atmosphere might be casual, that doesn’t mean there isn’t finesse here."

"Le Bon Crubeen on Talbot Street has one of the best-value menus in Dublin, considering the incredible standard of their food. Nicely decorated, we would definitely recommend this place to anyone who appreciates good food. REVIEW: An Anti-Trendy Haven Where The Plates Are Big And The Prices Are Small"

"Located in the heart of Dublin just a short walk from O’Connell Street, Lao Chinese, and Korean BBQ Restaurant offers both Korean BBQ and authentic Chinese dishes. Try the crispy fried duck or order the tasty chicken curry with egg fried rice. Satay chicken skewers are also a big hit with the customers, as well as the king prawn."

"Located on Parnell Square in Dublin city is Lao Chinese and Korean BBQ Restaurant. This place is known for its epic menu of barbequed dishes, and it’s rarely empty either. Private rooms can be booked for groups, making this a great party setting, and if you’re planning a visit any time soon, make sure to try the hot pot."
