Fast food and home catering Dublin

Ireland has created its own fast-food chain, a little junk, such as McDonald's or Quick : Supermac's. No surprises, then, on the menu: burgers, fries and sodas

At Umi's (there are several addresses in the capital), you can certainly taste the best falafels in town, thanks to a 100% vegetarian menu and some vegan options. The products are of good quality and always fresh; and the hummus and the homemade Lebanese bread are excellent. Some fruit juices (pressed on the spot of course) accompany wonderfully the plates proposed on the menu. And, not to spoil anything, it is copious and not expensive! You will have understood, we like this small address a lot.

In the heart of Temple Bar, this charming café attracts passing tourists, without being shunned by Dubliners. We love the large wooden tables and the rustic feel of the place. Perfect for a coffee, tea, cappuccino or hot chocolate break between two visits on a rainy day (yes, it happens!) or an Irish breakfast. It's served all day and it's excellent. Also very good bagels and sandwiches to eat on the go. Music in the background gives an extra relaxed feel to this lovely place

Hanley's has managed to recreate English Cornwall in Dublin, importing the famous pasties, puff pastries (usually with meat) perfect for filling a small hunger between two visits to the city center. We have a penchant for the spinach, pecan and feta puff pastry. It's great... Also noteworthy, there are a few vegetarian options on the menu. There are a few tables to sit at, but, in general, we take our pasties to go. Not without having enjoyed Hanley's warm welcome beforehand!

Just a stone's throw from the streetcar stop (Luas, Smithfield station), this cosy, relaxed and very warm café serves quality food. Early in the morning, many people come here to have their breakfast while reading the newspaper of the day. The choice is quite large from the early morning: scrambled eggs, eggs-bacon, pancakes (very good by the way!), muffins, coffees, teas... And, at lunch time, there are also some good options for a quick and quality meal: soup of the day, sandwiches (gourmet), bagels, wraps, quiches, salads..

On the south bank of the Grand Canal, this excellent market is held every Thursday at lunchtime. From stall to stall you will discover cuisine from here and elsewhere: Spanish, Japanese, Lebanese, Indian... You will be able to taste (on the spot or to take away) a paella, pancakes, sushis, organic burgers, a piece of quiche, falafels, kebabs or German bratwurst... The products are all more appetizing than the others. It is difficult, if not impossible, to leave empty-handed.

Since 1996, the small «bakery» of the Cavallo's family regals the Dublinois. The place is tiny, very well decorated, and one can delight with delicious croissants, chocolate salami, kind of chocolate bread whose only Panem has the secret, and especially of irresistible foccans. The bread is made home with organic flour the very morning, the 100% arabica coffee is very successful, just like hot chocolate. On the spot, but attention, places are rare, or to take; In any case, do not take away from it!

Feel like crossing the Atlantic? Burritos are those Mexican pancakes, very common and popular, especially in California. These corn cakes filled with different ingredients are a great way to fill a small hunger during your long day of visit. The ones at Pablo Picante, both on Baggot Street and in Temple Bar, are known for being tasty and quickly executed. You'll also have the opportunity to enjoy some excellent bowls.

According to Dubliners, Zaytoon has the best kebabs in the capital. If they are more expensive than the Parisian kebabs, the sandwiches proposed here are however quite consistent and especially of better quality. You can also opt for the Persian specialty, the kubideh, excellent meat brochettes. There is also a branch on Lower Camden Street. On the spot or to take away, this is a good option to get your strength back, between two pubs in Temple Bar during a long evening of celebration.

Leo Burdocks is THE reference in Dublin for fish and chips: they've been here since 1913. The waiters and cooks are dressed in black and white, like Parisian waiters. Portions are very, very large and takeaway only. If you're normally hungry, just ask for the fish, which will probably be served with a few French fries. At the entrance, the list of celebrities who have indulged is impressive, from Naomi Campbell to Bruce Springsteen to Edith Piaf.

It's the kind of café you'd like to keep all to yourself, one of those secret places you tell your friends and family about like a nugget. It's a well-hidden address, between Camden Street and Pleasant Place, that welcomes you for coffee, lunch or a snack. There are two entrances, but the more romantic will prefer the one on the bookshop side. It's the perfect place to pick up a book before dining indoors or on the charming terrace. There's also a recipe book to help you discover the secrets behind their delicious cakes!

A very nice place where you'll find both a hearty Irish breakfast (with vegetarian option), delicious homemade scones, muffins and pastries, as well as a wide choice of hot and cold drinks with the option of choosing your type of milk. Prices are very reasonable for the quantity and quality of the products. The staff are very friendly and efficient. It's a nice alternative to the industrial chains, and the decor is not lacking in charm. An address not to be missed on your visit to Dublin!
