Top Best Chinese Restaurants in Dublin

"The very unique Hang Dai is the best Chinese in Dublin for groups of friends looking for a bite to eat before a night on the town. An elegant spot located in the centre of Dublin on Camden Street, Hang Dai boasts a cheerful ambiance and is an ideal place to visit for a special occasion. They specialise in the apple wood-fired duck, but also serve other delectable dishes like steamed eggplant and asparagus spring rolls."

"School friends Will Dempsey and chef Karl Whelan added a clubby Chinese restaurant to Dublin’s roster with Hang Dai. The entrance appears like a takeaway joint, but the restaurant expands into a back room that looks like a mash-up between a disco and a subway train. The vibe is fun but the food is serious, especially the duck special (preorder it when you book)."

"Don’t let the simple, Chinese takeaway exterior of Hang Dai fool you – hidden away inside is one of the most stylish restaurants in the city. With low, neon lighting, the restaurant exudes an urban, futuristic cool. However, Hang Dai is no example of style over substance."

"Tang, which is well known for its delicious lunch offerings, serves a fantastic breakfast menu from Monday to Friday. With lots on offer, the buckwheat pancakes served with Greek yoghurt, fresh berries, pecans and almond butter are easily our favourite dish. They might be the fluffiest pancakes in Dublin and we are obsessed."

"It can be hard to get a table at tiny Tang, but it is worth the wait for a taste of the impressive menu that is made on a single hot plate. The modern Middle Eastern-inspired twists on the morning meal are bright and fresh. The shakshuka (eggs poached in spicy harissa with red peppers) is unmissable."

"For when you need a break from fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, Irish breakfasts, and Guinness:. It’s a Northside gem, just by the Spire (commonly referred to as the ‘Stiffy on the Liffey’ because of its, erm, astute shape)!. This Szechuan style restaurant has a huge menu, but my no-fails are: garlic chili green beans, kung pao chicken, pork dumplings, and the salt and pepper prawns."

"Conveniently located right in the centre of the city off O’Connell Street, M&L serve up classic Chinese and Sichuan dishes in a simple yet elegant dining room. Location: 13/14 Cathedral Street, Dublin. Website:http://mlchineserestaurant.com"

"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!"

"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?"

"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."

"The beautiful grass and colourful flowerbeds are overlooked by the majestic St. Patrick’s Cathedral. It’s a great day out for all, and even sits by the River Liffey."

"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!"
