Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Dún Laoghaire

"For any vegetarian or vegan living in Dublin, Cornucopia doesn’t need an explanation. With Cornucopia having been around for 30 years, they have developed the reputation as the place to go to, when it comes to vegetarian eating. Maybe less known than their heavenly lunches and dinners are their delectable cakes and desserts."

"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."

"Savour affordable, heartily portioned, delicious Indian curries and soups at one of Dublin’s original vegan restaurants. Govindas is a laid back restaurant, perched on Abbey Street, right in the shadow of The Spire and bustling O’Connell Street."

"In the heart of Temple Bar lies Umi Falafel, your hub for delectable Middle Eastern food. Offerings include a vast amount of vegan options. In fact, most of the menu is vegan, so you won’t be disappointed."

"Umi Falafel is a restaurant specialising in Falafel, Middles Eastern Mezze and fresh salads. The restaurant is located on Dame Street beside Dublin Castle in the centre of Dublin."

"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 multi-award-winning, family-run, vegetarian, wholefood deli. They offer a wide range of delicious soups, salads, cakes & savouries. All their food is made daily on the premises using only high-quality ingredients."

"Shouk is one of the coolest veggie restaurants in Dublin right now. Inside you'll find an array of benches in cosy nooks, a dedicated pickle counter and a sunny outdoor seating area. The menu boasts a plethora of flavours and dishes inspired by the Middle East."

"With huge portions, reasonable prices, and a BYOB policy, why wouldn’t you go for a meal at Shouk?. Try the vegan mezze platter, but make sure you have a big appetite because it’s filling. Address: 40 Drumcondra Rd Lower, Drumcondra, Dublin"

"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."

"This casual, unpretentious restaurant serves up Lebanese cuisine, and except for a couple of dishes that include cheese, the majority of Umi Falafel’s menu is vegan. Here you’ll find freshly prepared, home-made falafel in sandwiches and salads, along with sides like vegan spinach filo pastries, stuffed vine leaves and lentil soup. With a number of branches throughout Dublin, Umi Falafel can be found in Ireland’s oldest shopping mall, George’s Street Arcade."

"The Happy Pearisn’t actually in Dublin (Greystones, Co. Wicklow), but if you’re a vegetarian, or someone who likes fresh food that tastes really good, it is so worth the trip. (Update: The Happy Pear now has several outlets in Ireland, as well as online recipe courses. Yum!). Super excited to have opened in @DublinAirport It’s one of the first #plantbased food outlet in an airport in the world all served on compostable packaging."

"As you might expect from the name, this is a happy place in Greystones. Both a food market and café, it is decorated with lively colors and comfortable seating indoor and outdoor. The best way to visit, in my opinion, is to go after completing the Bray-Greystones Cliff walk."

"Temple Bar Gallery and Studios was first founded in 1983 as one of the country’s first artist-led arts organisations. A non-profit funded by the Irish Arts Council, today it consists of a contemporaryexhibition space and 30 visual artists’ studios, located at the epicentre of Dublin’s Cultural Quarter. As well as exhibitions, they run regular talks, masterclasses and events for aspiring artists."

"Featuring installations and performance art as well as sculpture and video, the Temple Bar Gallery works hand in hand with Artists Studios. It’s a really interesting and engaging concept and it puts you right into the heart of the artist’s community here in Dublin. Past exhibitions included Declan Clarke, Amie Siegel and Barbara Knezevic."

"At the beginning in 1983 the Temple Bar Gallery + Studios was the first DIY artist-centred initiative in Ireland, they started in a shirt factory and this is now a big gallery. Thanks to the fame of Temple Bar the gallery became notorious but it still supports upcoming artists."

"The exhibitions here are constantly changing, and an interesting combination of science and art. Past exhibits have included insights into the secret service and spies, illusions and risks – there’s usually something that kids will be into, as well. The fact that exhibitions change so frequently mean that it’s worth checking opening hours before visiting, as it may be closed between exhibits."

"A corner of Trinity College was transformed into a space that encourages science and art to collide. The ever-changing exhibition currently focuses on contagion and biomimicry. Its aim is to allow visitors to “facilitate social connections, always providing an element of surprise."

"If you want to experience one of the best historical things to do in Dublin, then why not spend a whole day exploring the incredible National Museum of Ireland?. Here you will learn about national and international archaeology, Irish history, Irish art, culture, and natural history. No matter your age, you are sure to take something away from the incredible exhibitions on offer at one of the best museums in Ireland."

"Admission is free and the architecture is spectacular from the tiles on the floor to the columns surrounding the exhibit space. Kids will love learning about the bog people, the 4,500 year old log boat from Galway, and the extensive collection of weaponry. The museum is centrally located on Kildare Street."

"Nestled away behind Dublin Castle and secluded amongst the city buildings lay these magnificently designed gardens. They are designed with Celtic Symbolism having snake paving work slitter around the circular gardens. In Viking and medieval times this area was under water and called Dubh Linn (Black Pool) because it was where the river Liffey and Poddle met, the Poddle now runs underground and the Liffey banks were receded to where it is presently."

"Located behind the famous Dublin Castle is the sprawling and serene view of the Dubh Linn Gardens. You can take a short stroll, chill, lay down on the grass, and enjoy the tranquility that this park offers. Or maybe, if it piques your interest, you can admire the mega-sized Celtic knot pattern found within the park, or ask what it means to the locals enjoying their stay in Dublin."

"experience, incorporating a visitor centre, interactive exhibition areas and walled botanical garden. The Avoca Cafe is super kid friendly with lots of space, great food and high chairs. The outdoor terrace is a beautiful vantage point to enjoy the gardens…just watch out for the Peacocks which like to show off to our visitors from time to time!"

"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."

"A less known spot a stone’s throw away from St Stephen’s Green, Iveagh Gardens is quieter and more intimate. Yet it’s one of the best locations for wedding photos in Dublin if you want a little oasis of calm in the middle of the city. It even has a magnificent fountain."

"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!"

"While you’ll have a pleasant time feeding the ducks and swans in St. Stephen’s Green or watching the man who feeds them every day, this Dublin equivalent of New York City’s Central Park is full of informational signs, fountains, flowers, and statues. The gazebos are great places to relax over a picnic or take some lovely photos. You should also take the time to watch the street performers along Grafton Street by the mall."

"Go to Stephen's Green Shopping Centre for a great place for shopping and taking photos!. It is a large indoor shopping center in the city center of Dublin where you can find many shops. The interior of the place looks incredible."

"Right at the top of Grafton St , in the shadow of St. Stephen's Green's Arch, stands this striking iron and glass shopping mecca. Always abuzz with locals and …"

"Located on Dublin’s South Great George’s Street, the George’s Street Arcade originally opened as South City Markets in 1881, making it the oldest shopping centre in Ireland. Today, the Victorian redbrick building houses an indoor market of around fifty tenants, with a combination of stalls and stores selling vintage clothes, accessories, books and collectibles, and more. Shopping here is a distinctively Dublin experience, and you’re sure to find a souvenir you won’t get anywhere else."

"George’s Street Arcade has been in operation since the late 1800s|© Kevin George / Alamy Stock Photo. Serving Dublin since 1881, this enclosed Victorian market has a charming red-bricked interior housing over 50 stalls. Ranging in size and scale, the vendors here sell everything from authentic falafel to art, memorabilia and coin collections."

"The Victorian redbrick George’s Street Arcade houses several stalls and stores. There’s a lot to discover in this arcade, from high fashion clothing and accessories to funky gear to custom and costume jewellery. There are also stalls and shops offering fortune telling, hairstyling and specialty items."
