Query: Cheap Dublin restaurants for tourists on a budget

10 Comments

  1. I’d definitely recommend Fafie’s on 2 Lower Kevin Street. Much better crepes & galettes than Lemon.

  2. If the family like asian they could head to NEON its only a few doors down from Green Nineteen. It does wonderful asian street food, is cheap and has the added draw of being able to pull your own icecream at the end of the meal. The kids will love that.

  3. I’d recommend the Bakehouse on Bachelors Quay for lunch or dinner, gorgeous stews and soups and breads and cakes – really good value.

  4. I second Fafie’s there, absolutely delicious. Goats cheese, sundries tomatoes and spinach, yum!

  5. Madina, 60 Mary St, offers sit down Indian (Chicken Biriyani for €4.95, others cost a bit more) and its very good.

    Also Dehli O’Deli on Moore St, for vegetarian Indian food.

    If you want a cheap but very good Chinese, it’s M&L on Cathedral St, just off O’Connell St.

    These are in fact my favourite ‘cheap eats’ in Dublin, it’s a shame there are so few of them.

  6. The Hairy Lemon at the top of Stephens Green is great for lunch, most dishes are €7.90

  7. Kokora on liffey st for cheap bentoboxes or the epicurean food hall for buffet type dealy. Also quite good Italian in la cucina on parnell st

    I actually like the restaurant that was mentioned and think their special menus are good value, so for future reference please just say who you are if you’re recommending your own place!
