A restaurant guide targeted to foodies on a budget, with items priced at 10 euros or less. Here are 9 restaurants you should make sure to get to while in Dublin!
Breakfast/Brunch
This quirky cafe has a wide variety of options for some fabulous brunch items, including their sweet potato hash, avocado toast, and french toast. Wake up to the various bright colors within and coffee to start your day off right.
Even though the breakfast menu is limited, it sure packs a punch in both flavor and in prices. The well-known favorites being their avocado egg toast, and their buckwheat pancakes with berries.
This sandwich shop has an expansive menu of quality sandwiches all ranging around 7 euros and if you decide on a healthier option they provide insanely tasty salads. You will have trouble finding something on the menu you don't like.
Every person has to splurge once in a while, and why not do it with the best type of comfort food: grilled cheese. These gourmet grilled cheeses range around 8 euros and even they even provide a meal deal for students.
For some flavorful Middle Eastern food, get your fix at Umi. They are serving up fresh falafel for their falafel sandwiches, which you can pick your favorite toppings for. These sandwiches range around 6 euros.
Feeling like Mexican food, come stop on in for some quick and quality burritos and other Mexican specialties. These bad boys are packed with the best ingredients and are around 7 euros.
Hidden in an Asian grocery store, this restaurant has the best atmosphere. Being able to see the chef preparing your food gives you a sense of genuineness to the food that other places can't obtain. Their famous dish is the bibimbap, which is different kinds of vegetables, with your choice of meat, on a bed of rice, with an over easy egg on top.
With their wood fired oven, it is easy for Sano to fire out delicious Neapolitan pizzas to its customers for cheap. The Margarita pizza, a classic, is only 6 euros and the others do not surpass 10 euros. The price as well as the taste makes this the best place for Italian pizzas in Dublin.
Lastly, is a Chinese restaurant with a huge menu with intense and very authentic flavors. M & L serves out great well known Chinese dishes, but I advise to step out of your comfort zone because you will not be disappointed. Also, make sure to order some dumplings for the table.
As an exchange student in Dublin, it has been hard managing money. Dublin being an expensive city, especially in terms of food, it is difficult to find restaurants both appetizing and cheap. Having explored Dublin and getting a lay of the land, I can give a unique perspective to this issue. I wanted to share some great food finds with others like me. A good thing to note in Dublin and most other places is dinner tends to very costly, this is why lunch is a great way to get the same food for a cheaper price.
