Best Vegan Restaurants in Dublin

"Cornucopia serves vegetarian and vegan dishes at affordable prices|© Cornucopia. Centrally located on Wicklow Street, Cornucopia has been a family-run business since 1986. After discovering the joys of a raw vegan diet while living in Boston and working for a health organisation, the restaurant’s founders returned to Dublin and opened a restaurant that promoted the benefits of whole food."

"My biggest recommendation is to join the Facebook group, Dublin Vegans. This community is fantastic: sharing tips, recommendations, advice, and events. In December I attended a Merry Vegan Christmas Potluck hosted by the group – it was a blast!"

"With locations across central Dublin, Govindas is a great place to stop into for lunch. You walk up to the counter and ask for a regular or large plate, and the kind soul serving you proceeds to pile it high with homemade Indian-ish tasty glop. Their food isn’t as intensely flavorful as traditional Indian, but it’s so cheap and satisfying (and the soft Hare Krishna chanting playing in the background is so soothing) that I’m never disappointed."

"Govinda’s give customers an entirely veggie and plan-based experience with a host of unique flavours to their name. They offer chickpea curries, mouth-watering samosas, tofu satay and much more. If you’ve still got room there’s trays of vegan cakes to add the cherry to your hearty meal."

"Govinda’s is a very affordable Indian restaurant that has a completely vegetarian menu with plenty of vegan options, too. It’s located just on the north side of the river near Arnotts Department Store. The best part about this restaurant is their daily plates."

"If you are hankering for a tasty and satisfying vegan Mediterranean meal, you’ve come to the right place!. Umi Falafel is a Mediterranean vegetarian restaurant with an abundance of clearly labeled vegan options. There is something here for every vegan, from traditional pita bread filled with falafel, hummus, tahini, and fresh vegetables, to colorful salads, tasty mezze, and soup."

"Falafels are golden-brown croquettes that are a bit crunchy on the outside but soft in the middle. A famous savory bread in the Middle East, the Umi Falafel’s signature dish is the Lebanese Falafel, for only €6.00. A must-try is the Falafel Your Way, for only €6.50, you can create your own Falafel with a choice of 4 toppings and a sauce."

"If you’re a veggie Dubliner, chances are you’ve at least heard of this spot. There’s multiple locations around the city and, boy, do they know how to make our mouths water. This is seriously delicious, authentic falafel, from Palestinian to Lebanese styles, as well as a mean halloumi wrap to boot."

"Address: 101 Dorset St Upper, Inns Quay, Dublin, Ireland Site: http://www.veginity.com/ Phone: 353-15359067 $$. Serving up a range of internationally inspired plant based dishes, Veginity is a favorite amongst plant-based eaters in Dublin. The team that drives the restaurant likes to challenge the notion that a good meal must include meat, must be served in a fine restaurant, and must be of detriment to the earth."

"Veginity is a fine dining-style vegan restaurant known for its incredible flavours. Menus include all-day breakfast, an Italian-inspired dinner offering and pastries that would convince you they're full of butter if you didn't know any better, so you can satisfy your need for a decent croissant here."

"After running from a truck for quite some time in Portabello and Eatyard, Vegenity has now made it over to it's permanent home on the Northside. This stunning restaurant serves up top class veggie based dishes and desserts."

"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."

"You’d be forgiven for walking past Platform 61 and not knowing what you’d missed. This underground eatery, tucked away on South William Street, is inspired by New York’s Track 61, a secret underground passageway for VIPs that was built in 1913 and is thought to still be in use. Platform 61 opened in 2015, but is a little-known Dublin gem."

"One of my favorite vegan stands that I simply cannot get enough of. They serve their signature vegan roll with seitan chick’n and you can pick from a number of different toppings and sauces. My go-to order is spicy chick’n, chili mayo, cheeze, lettuce, and red onion."

"Dublin based Vegan Sandwich Company’s ‘Chick*n Fillet Roll is ideal for anyone craving something meaty this veganuary. Who could resist a sourdough baguette filled with plain or spicy vegan chick*n and a combination of up to three salads?"

"For mouthwatering pancakes, vegan milkshakes, and a choice of many vegan burgers, this is a spot you do not want to pass up the opportunity to visit. Get here with an empty stomach and enjoy all the tasty offerings. Address: 192 Rathmines Rd Lower, Rathmines, Dublin, D06 Y3E8"

"Address: 192 Rathmines Rd Lwr, Rathmines, Ireland Site: https://thecarrotstail.com Phone: 353-831965972 $$. What The Carrot’s Tail offers is two-fold. First, the venue is a cozy and quaint 100% plant-based restaurant serving weekend brunch, weekday lunch, and light bites."

"Why: You have to be careful when wandering the streets of Temple Bar because otherwise you can end up paying a lot of money for some bang average food. However, there are plenty of hidden gems to be found if you know where to look and Al Vesuvio is one of them. Located in Meeting House Square, its vast menu covers everything from fresh pasta and pizzas, to more hearty classic main courses such as veal Milanese."

"Right on Meeting House Square in Temple Bar, this place makes a great starting point for a night out. Al Vesuvio is a cosy spot serving top-notch Italian food seven days a week. We especially love the huge selection of pizzas with (rosse) and without (bianche) cheese."

"Covering an area of 78 acres, Farmleigh is a huge estate that was developed as an accommodation for visiting dignitaries and for the recreation of the general public. A visit to this estate will remind you of the Edwardian period and aura. There is a kind of eclecticism that defines this estate as it combines a variety of architectural designs and decors."

"A historic house holding important collections, an art gallery, a working farm, and the official Irish State guest house, Farmleigh House and Estate is open seven days a week, all year round."

"Some secrets are too good to remain hidden, which is why you’re about to find out about Iveagh Gardens, often known as Dublin’s secret garden. Laid out by the 1st Earl of Clonmell and once a fashionable public space called Coburg Gardens, it fell into disrepair before being rescued and revived by Sir Benjamin Guinness in 1862; the family then cared for the gardens before donating them to the Irish nation in 1939. You can now enjoy a rustic grotto and cascade, fountains, wilderness woodlands, a maze, a rosarium and archery grounds – there are few better things to do in Dublin if the weather is good."

"One of Dublin’s favorite secret gardens, this one is located a few blocks further south of St. Stephen’s Green. What began as an earl’s lawn now hosts a yew maze, rosarium, fountains, and the cascade, a stunning site for wedding photos. A Human Rights memorial bears witness at these gardens."

"As local Dublin experts, who know the city better than anyone, we’re only too happy to let you know the best spots in the city, and Iveagh Gardens is one of our favourites!. Hop off the city tour at St. Stephen’s Green, and it’s just a short stroll away!"

"Located in the opulent surroundings of Dublin's Mansion House on Dawson Street, Fire has been built in what was originally the Lord Mayor's supper room and is now a magnificent space with stained glass windows and vaulted ceilings. The food is all locally sourced and cooked to a high standard with a good mix of meat, vegetarian options and seafood - the jumbo prawn starter is the house speciality. There is also a special steak menu with a variety of cuts of ages, marinated beef that are sure to make a meat-lover's mouth water."

"Patrick Guilbaud's certainly has the credentials of a top Irish restaurant, sporting our country's only two star Michelin kitchen. If opulence and fine dining to the extreme is your bag then make sure to sample this mix of contemporary Irish, French and classical roots. Guilbaud's has been at the centre of Irish fine dining for thirty years and is somewhat of an institution."
