Best Fast Food Restaurants in Dublin

"Really friendly tolerant staff, well used to kids wandering around. They have a great atmosphere, and plenty of choice for everybody with a massive menu – better again, with outlets in Dun Laoghaire, Tallaght, Dundrum and Blanchardstown and a few dotted around the city centre, they're a solid option wherever you happen to be."

"Mannings Bakery on Thomas Street – near the Guinness Storehouse – is a family-owned independent bakery that has been in operation for over 60 years. They produce handmade sweet and savoury baked goods every day, available from their stores in Tallaght, Blanchardstown and the city centre. As well as in-store offerings, Mannings does custom-order and standard cakes, like fresh Irish buttercream sponges, sugar-craft and novelty items, wedding cakes, and cakes for special occasions."

"Price: €0.95Look: 2.5/5Texture: 3.5/5Taste: 3/5Value: 4/5Total: 13/20. Verdict: The old Dublin bakery makes a simple and honest croissant. There is nothing pretentious about it, it doesn’t look perfect."

"Manning’s Bakery is a traditional, family-run bakery in Dublin. They make hand-made cakes on a daily basis. This way, they can be sure that all their clients are getting the best products possible."

"The ethos of Bite caf� is that of 'Uptown Food, Downtown Vibe' and it's basically recreating your average fish and chip shop into a more upmarket fish experience with some interesting reinventions along the way. Gone is the greasy batter in a brown bag, replaced with hake in a vodka and beer batter accompanied with mushy peas and pancetta fries. The usual pre-theatre menu has been replaced with a 'Pre-Gig Menu', seeking to resonate with the modern diner."

"If you’re looking for trendy, New York vibes in Dublin, Sophie’s is the rooftop bar and restaurant at The Dean. With casual dining, cocktails and amazing views, Sophie’s is the perfect rooftop for fun hen party merrymaking, whether you pop in for drinks and a dance or choose to line your stomachs here. Oh, and they have swings ladies!"

"There are no walls in this place but only large windows with a magical breathtaking view over Dublin. The menu offers traditional Irish, Italian and US style food, simple and delicious. Reservations required, especially on weekends."

"Super cool & comfortable rooms filled with stuff that will make you smile. Spaces for work & play. Food & drink to shout about."

"There's a café space, all comfy leather seats and tweed Chesterfield sofas, and it's open all day for light bites and wine. Later, the candles are lit in the darker dining space at the rear; while downstairs you'll find a fantastic wine bar. The original winning ingredients remain intact: wonderful cocktail and European wine lists; great pizza, fresh pasta, and charcuterie and cheese sharing plates (€15-€25/£13-£22); elegant desserts; live music kicking off in the evenings – and art everywhere."

"The Stag's Head has catered to generations of Dubliners, drawn here by its Victorian décor, wood panelling, stained-glass windows – and an actual stag's head suspended above the mahogany-and-walnut bar, and rendered too in mosaic on the floor. In recent years it has become something of a tourist magnet, as well as a haunt for students from nearby Trinity College. But don't let that put you off: this remains the real thing, and the atmosphere is as good as it ever was."

"A comedy night run every Sunday and Monday evening at The Stags Head, these comedy nights are free to attend, with complimentary ice cream for visiting patrons and the chance to donate to the comedians if you enjoyed the gig. The venue is wonderfully off the beaten track, helping you feel like you’ve truly discovered one of Dublin’s secrets. Early arrival is recommended if you want a good seat, as these comedy nights fill up quickly!"

"Another traditional pub in Dublin, The Stag’s head is where you can experience the Dublin nightlife like a local. Along with serving fresh Guinness, the place is also a center to enjoy Traditional Irish Food, Music, and Comedy Sessions. Every weekend, an Irish Band entertains the crowd with Local Irish Music."

"With a menu that changes based on seasonality, Platform 61 remains fresh and hip as one of Dublin’s best brunch spots. They do traditional dishes such as Eggs Benedict and Huevos Rancheros, but they also do slightly different plates such as Shallot and Pea Ravioli and The Stun Bun, a grilled chicken sandwich served with guacamole and roast potatoes. Platform 61 are open for outdoor dining on South William Street."

"Despite its great location a couple of minutes walk from Grafton Street — and although the locals love and adore it — visitors haven’t really caught on to it quite yet. Blazing Salads offers a salad buffet that will rock your world!. It includes a variety of textures, colors, and flavors that taste as great as they look, with a wide range of clearly labeled vegan options."

"I wish I’d begun frequenting Blazing Salads earlier into my Dublin life!. Not far from Cornucopia, getting food there couldn’t be a more different experience. You serve yourself from a buffet of all different kinds of delicious cold salads (lentil salads, chickpea salads, potato salads, all kinds of dressings, every kind of veggie) or a couple of hot options."

"Blazing Salads is a wonderful wholefoods vegan and veggie deli sat right in the heart of Drury Street. Visitors can choose to go healthy — there’s a stack of colourful bowls that will scratch any salad desires — or treat themselves to items such as the juicy plant-based burger. 📍 42 Drury Street, Dublin 2, D02 T210"
