Best Takeout Food Restaurants in Dundrum

"Not an area known for its cocktail bars, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the hidden gem that is Vintage Cocktail Club. Taking you on a journey into the dark and distance Prohibition Era, this Crown Alley bar offers that ‘wow’ factor at every turn. The exclusive, relaxed and welcoming vibe of the bar is a throwback to the golden age of speakeasies, aviators and silent movies, complimented by the fabulous vintage-chic 1920s themed drinks."

"We open at 5pm.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #VintageStyle #SpeakEasy #TempleBar... The Vintage Cocktail Club is truly appropriately named. In fact, those who have been here will be hard-pressed to answer which of the two brings crowds in the most: its award-winning cocktails or its vintage feel."

"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."

"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."

"Simple yet delicious, Bunsen is the only place to go if you’re craving a good burger. The menu in this Dublin restaurant couldn’t be more straight forward with hamburgers, hand-cut fries and a couple of drink choices. It’s so popular that you can now find them at a few locations across the city and around the country (they’ve even opened a location in Barcelona!)"

"Simplicity itself, Bunsen is straight up Irish beef burgers. Think fat, juicy meat between two squishy buns, with fresh toppings and a secret sauce. Choose a single or double patty, add chips and a drink and you’re golden."

"Angelina's is a canal-side romantic restaurant in Dublin with plenty of character, flavour and Italian-inspired charm. Tuck into a menu that includes everything from maple glazed pork belly with brunch, to creamed leek gnocchi and delicious sausage pizzas for dinner."

"Another great spot for outdoor dining is Angelina's in Percy Place, Dublin 4. Booking for the terrace has been in high demand so make sure to check availability and make a booking through OpenTable. View this post on Instagram"

"This authentic Asian restaurant looks like a tacky inner-city Chinese from the front entrance but walk through this area and you'll discover one of the coolest venues around. The contemporary Chinese food place is all about deadly food, slick tunes and proper magic from some of Ireland’s top chefs and party makers. https://www.instagram.com/p/BsOOiCRgLUS/"

"Boiled & BBQ Pigs Trotter with Dry Garlic, hot off our new Spring Menu 😍. A spectacular spot located in the heart of Dublin, Hang Dai Chinese Restaurant has very chic and elaborate décor and a cheerful ambiance. The star of the menu is the apple wood-fired duck."

"If you’re in search of cool restaurants in Dublin, look no further than Hang Dai. This Chinese restaurant has one of the funkiest interiors in the county. The neon lighting and table booths are designed to look like the inside of a train carriage."

"Eoin Cluskey is a bread obsessive, and he pays tribute to all things doughy at a cafe tucked under a railway bridge near Science Gallery Dublin. The team stone mills flour, then ferments and bakes delicious sourdough breads. Morning buns are a great start to the day and there are tasty, creative lunch options depending on what’s in season."

"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. They also have a delish takeaway pizza menu from 5pm to 10pm."

"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."

"The same people who run San Lorenzo’s – a hip New York-style Italian joint on George’s Street – opened Dublin’s newest Mexican restaurant as a pop-up in 2015. Two years on, Taco Taco has endured, thanks to a satisfying menu of contemporary delights. Their inspired dessert dishes include things like salted caramel popcorn with peanut butter ice-cream, American apple pie tacos and San Lorenzo’s signature sweet – a Nutella® chocolate cheesecake."

"Brother Hubbard is easily one of the best cafés in Dublin, with both venues offering delicious fresh food. The brunch menu Brother Hubbard South is particularly gorgeous, featuring Moroccan-style semolina pancakes with Turkish delight, roasted white chocolate mascarpone, dark chocolate ganache and vanilla strawberries. Perfect for brunch, these are easily some of the best pancakes in Dublin."

"Little sister of big Brother Hubbard, Sister Sadie is favourite for us for breakfast or meetings. We guarantee you'll leave feeling like you're ready to take on the world. You'll find it hard to fault the place."

"Why: You have to be careful when wandering the streets of Temple Bar because otherwise you can end up paying a lot of money for some bang average food. However, there are plenty of hidden gems to be found if you know where to look and Al Vesuvio is one of them. Located in Meeting House Square, its vast menu covers everything from fresh pasta and pizzas, to more hearty classic main courses such as veal Milanese."

"Right on Meeting House Square in Temple Bar, this place makes a great starting point for a night out. Al Vesuvio is a cosy spot serving top-notch Italian food seven days a week. We especially love the huge selection of pizzas with (rosse) and without (bianche) cheese."

"For hearty portions and low prices, you can’t beat this casual restaurant which specialises in big, bold French flavours (although it must be noted that this is a less authentic French experience when compared to other options our list). Le Bon Crubeen has the added benefit of being close to the Abbey Theatre, so makes the perfect pre-show spot to enjoy a bite to eat. While the atmosphere might be casual, that doesn’t mean there isn’t finesse here."

"Great value French cuisine has made this restaurant one of Dublin's most popular. Le Bon Crubeen is open every day for lunch & dinner and is known for its combination of high quality food with a sophisticated ambience."

"There’s a reason The Greenhouse snagged a Michelin star just a few years after it opened. The restaurant is a veritable showcase for Ireland's best produce, all prepared and plated with delicate, stylish panache. The menu changes continuously; in spring, plump lamb is paired with punchy wild garlic, and in fall, Sika deer complements blackberries and earthy wild mushrooms."

"Mikael Viljanen is a Finnish-born chef who’s called Dublin home for 20 years and has been manning the pass at The Greenhouse since 2012. Lauded for his precise, clean culinary wizardry, his restaurant was elevated from one to two Michelin star status in 2019 and remains one of the best places to eat in Dublin."

"Those who are fans of fine dining will delight at the mouthwatering French cuisine on offer in this Monkstown restaurant. Sip on a glass of wine while enjoying food prepared by their executive chef. They offer a three-course set menu, which can be paired perfectly with some cocktails or a bottle of wine."

"Monkstown is a real treasure trove of restaurants, while Seapoint is a great little spot with a delicious kids' menu. There's a great booth for larger groups that allows you to trap the kids away from harm or mischief."

"Angelina's is a canal-side romantic restaurant in Dublin with plenty of character, flavour and Italian-inspired charm. Tuck into a menu that includes everything from maple glazed pork belly with brunch, to creamed leek gnocchi and delicious sausage pizzas for dinner."

"Oscars Cafe Bar is located on Smithfield Square which will no doubt be buzzing with activity this summer. This expansive outdoor space allows for safe catch ups and even better drinks and dining. There is no pre-booking required with walk-ins more than welcome."

"This atmospheric brasserie concentrates on offering a modern take on French classics. Under the guidance of chef-proprietor Jérôme Fernandes, the team at La Réserve create simple yet perfectly executed dishes that are authentically French: expect coq au vin (braised red wine chicken), steak frites, French onion soup, oven-baked brie and classic crème brûlée. Their seasonal ‘market menu’ capitalises on the freshest produce to be found locally."

"Bring a little Spanish passion to your evening at La Bodega. This traditional tapas and wine bar is a staple for couples looking to enjoy authentic Spanish food with bold wines in a stylish setting. Create your own meal with several of their insanely good tapas and toast to each other with Tempranillo."

"The ethos of Bite caf� is that of 'Uptown Food, Downtown Vibe' and it's basically recreating your average fish and chip shop into a more upmarket fish experience with some interesting reinventions along the way. Gone is the greasy batter in a brown bag, replaced with hake in a vodka and beer batter accompanied with mushy peas and pancetta fries. The usual pre-theatre menu has been replaced with a 'Pre-Gig Menu', seeking to resonate with the modern diner."

"We couldn’t make a list of ice-cream places in Dublin without including Murphy’s Ice Cream. This traditional ice-cream parlour on Wicklow Street is the place to go if you are looking for top quality traditional Irish ice-cream. Handmade in Dingle, Murphy’s Ice Cream is like no other with their milk coming from a rare, indigenous Kerry bred cow."

"I make it my mission to try Ice Cream (gelato if we're in Italy) everywhere I travel. Ireland is no different. I scoured for the best ice cream in Dublin and found Murphys made the top of the list."

"Taking inspiration from the rolled ice cream vendors of Asia, Arctic Stone Ice Cream serve up Dublin’s finest rolled ice cream. From zesty berry and citrus flavours to indulgent chocolate, caramel and cookie delights, this shop has a freshly made ice cream roll to suit everyone’s tastes. Undoubtedly, part of the treat of visiting Arctic Stone Ice Cream is watching in amazement as the friendly and skilled staff whip up the rolls of tasty ice cream right in front of your eyes."
