Best Takeout Food Restaurants in Dublin

"If you’re serious cocktail drinkers, your hen party needs to go to the Vintage Cocktail Club, a 1920s speakeasy style gem which is right next to Temple Bar. The cocktails are unusual, creative and pretty darn good. Basically every cocktail is an adventure."

"If you are looking for something outside the ordinary pub, this is a must. The speakeasy-themed bar offers amazing drinks and food. The decor on the roof top makes it seem like you have traveled back in time for one of their specialty drinks!"

"The ever elusive V.C.C. is just one big dreamy mystery, and we just love it. On their top floor, the rooftop bar doubles as a smoking area. A beautiful view, if there's no rain of course."

"Bunsen is the newest addition to the Wexford Street food trail and it promises authentic, American-style hamburgers with the perfect arrangement of beef, bun, cheese and toppings. Proprietor Tom Gleeson went through 12 different prototypes before settling on his current recipe and it's an excellent combination. Expect perfectly cooked Aberdeen Angus beef, oozy cheese, a soft bun and crunchy fried, all served on a classic red, plastic tray with a milkshake."

"City centerYou can’t order a burger rare in Ireland -- the Food Safety Authority basically banned it -- but the ones at Bunsen are as close as you can get. They mince the patties fresh every morning, so they’re allowed to chuck it on the grill and serve it medium pink and juicy. The menu is so small it fits on a business card, and there’s nothing for veggies in these here parts -- it’s good old-fashioned burgers, fries, and shakes, and that’s it."

"The tag line says Straight Up Burgers, but Bunsen serves only the tastiest, most succulent lumps of prime beef cooked to perfection and served between two halves of a homemade bap."

"A vision in red, Angelina's is a beautiful canal-side restaurant with plenty of character, flavour and charm. The menu itself is made up of Italian, European and Irish influences, with everything from pork belly for brunch, to leek gnocchi and sausage pizzas for dinner."

"Like the idea of waterside drinking and dining as the temperatures rise?. Angelina's have pretty outdoor space facing the canal, so you can kick back with a couple of glasses and a plate of freshly made pasta while topping up your tan."

"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."

"Known for its unbeatable baked goods, Bread 41 has blessed Dubliners with their newest menu item: a soft serve cruffin (croissant and muffin). Weekly flavours are available and, depending on the weather, a limited number of cruffin cones go on sale at their Pearse Street location Monday to Saturday, from 12pm to 2pm."

"Bread 41’s ethos is to make pure, real bread without resorting to processing aids or artificial additives. In pursuit of their vision, they mill all of the grains for their bread on-site at their city centre bakery. In addition, the bakery uses its own unique sourdough culture in each loaf."

"This Pearse Street café has its own on-site mill so you know it's gonna be good. They make some of the tastiest bread I've had in the city. The bakery is also a café that serves up breakfast and lunch, as well as selling bread and pastries to go."

"A greasy spoon vibe, this equivalent of a diner is absolutely fantastic and has possibly the best Irish breakfasts in town!. If you’re going to stuff your face, …"

"This 200 seater beer garden in Clondalkin has had finishing touches added to it over the past few days, so make sure to pay a visit. General manager Damien Long said: "The staff are excited and a little apprehensive as it has been so long off. I think we'll be grand when we get going."

"Located on Dublins busy O’Connell Street, Gelato Di Natura Dublin is another superb traditional Italian ice-cream parlour. Formerly known as SUSO, with stores all over the world, you are sure to get top quality ice cream at Gelato Di Natura Dublin. With an impressive 28 flavours to choose from you will be spoilt for choice."

"Gelato Di Natura is located on the bustling O’Connell Street, and you can choose if you want to enjoy your ice cream inside or outside. Cookies, vanilla and chocolate are popular but also unusual flavours like walnuts and figs can be found in their selection of flavours. View this post on Instagram"

"The Temple Bar area is best known for its nightlight, but it can also be the perfect place to start the day if you happen to wander by The Queen of Tarts. The collection of muffins and cakes are some of the best sweet baked goods in the city, but you can also find healthier options like the strawberry or banana Irish porridge. The savory breakfasts, including smoked Irish salmon and scrambled eggs, are also delicious."

"If you’re someone with a sweet tooth, then you’re going to want to visit the Queen of Tarts bakery and café. You’ll be amazed at the sweet selection of breakfast and brunch items that are available to purchase. We are strong proponents of having cheesecake for breakfast — what could be more perfect than starting your day with a heavenly creamy slice of Bailey’s cheesecake?"

"Along the southern part of the Dart trainline, Blackrock Park is a small but perfectly formed park boasting striking views of the Irish Sea. The star of the show is the pond with its Peace Fountain, created to mark the International Year of Peace in 1986. You may well spot swans and ducks in the area, too."

"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!"

"A little trip away from Dublin City Centre, it’s the perfect romantic location for beach strolls or some sunset portraits. It has the tall grass, sea air and the iconic Poolbeg Towers as the quintessentially-Dublin backdrop!. A great spot for an engagement session, an elopement or a lovely portrait spot on a wedding day if you’re driving in from the south side."

"This is the perfect place to go to if you want to capture water and nature. Moreover, going to this beach is a very fun thing to do when you're in Dublin. So it's not only great for photography, but you'll also have an amazing day if you go here."
