Reviews of Cornucopia Wholefoods Restaurant
B. N.
I have been a Cornucopia customer for many years and always loved their food, their staff and the whole atmosphere. I adore their food and as I am vegan myself I love to have those options in the heart of the city.
However, I was very disappointed with my experience there yesterday. I was actually close to only give it one star but it wouldn't be fair after enjoying the place for many years.
It started pouring down outside so I decided to pop in with my friend and my small dog. I had visited the restaurant with my girl before never any issues so I assumed its dog friendly. However, I was surprised when the manager came over after I started eating and told me to move tables and sit beside the entrance door, I was even given a water bowl by the lovely waiter minutes before that.. Generally I wouldn't mind to move as I know that some people might not like a dog around. But I was told to move immediately and as my friend was in the bathroom the manager would let me carry all my stuff myself, all plates, drinks, cutlery plus handling the dog.. he wasn't patient at all and I found his behaviour disrespectful. He could have at least offered me to help carry our stuff or let me wait for my friend to come back. After all, he seemed to be the only one that had a problem with my dog there as many customers approached me to pet my girl and told me how cute she was. Anyways, I do want to call out the lovely waiters and other staff that are always friendly and helpful.
Long story short, I wont be back anytime soon which is a pity. I always brought my friends there and supported the restaurant during Covid, bought vouchers there etc. Definitely do not recommend the place for dog owners that want to pop in with their pooch.
C. O.
Perfect spot for some homely, cosy cooking. All vegan friendly and staff are very knowledgeable. A bastion of veggie/vegan eating in the city centre since the 80's. Love the building, the coffees, and the treats. A little on the pricey side, so you wouldn't want to be eating there every day.
R. C.
Delicious vegan food. The hot breakfast never disappoints. Really friendly staff too.
M. G.
Nice restaurant with many floors and space. Many vegan, healthy freshly prepared options to choose from. Big portions. One star off because the cook was very generous with the salt and I find the pricing could be a bit better.
M. L.
Fantastic vegan food with a good choice. Very friendly and helpful service. Loads of room on three floors. Just about perfect

If you’re vegan, gluten free or vegetarian, this is definitely the place to go for lunch while in Dublin. The food here is amazingly good with a wide range of options from savory to sweets. For lunch, I had a quiche with mushrooms two options of salad. The only reason I’m giving four stars is due to the fact that their toilets are located on the third floor which might make things difficult for older or handicapped people.
A.
Great cafe, friendly staff, delicious coffee. Cosy place decorated in a vintage antique traditional way, takes up two storefronts and has upstairs seating. Offers vegetarian/vegan options, has coffee with many milk options.
M. C.
Really nice fry, good vegan options. Unlimited tea with breakfast and some toast for free. If you get the fry deal (5 items for 12.50) you get a good meal out of it though I think charging 2.50 per item when an item can be just half a tomato is a bit much.
P.
Consistently excellent food, portion sizes used to be bigger but the food remains of a high quality. One bad point would be the desserts, they're very expensive and really aren't that nice, often dry and not very tasty. I bought one of the artisan ice creams for about 6 euro and was shocked by how bad it was!
The main courses and salads are always yummy and super healthy though. So I recommend you stick to those.
G. G.
Vegetarian restaurant with varied menu and lots of combinations. The specials are very good but you might have to wait to get it done.
Ironically the salads are not their best! The Korma with brown rice was really good! The falafel wrap is cold but delicious!
S. V.
BEST VEGAN RESTAURANT I've ever been to, however the stuff tried to fasten up the food ordering process as much as they could and this wasn't very pleasant
B. S.
Lovely restaurant in Temple Bar with mainly plant-based food. Rustic look and old church benches for a unique cozy look. Friendly fast counter service. I just wish soup was also available in the morning. Bought the Green Cookbook which I enjoyed perusing. Good prices for the food.
R. W.
Such a lovely cafe! Great when you’re looking for a veggie-focused meal, or trying to avoid meat. They’re also very allergen-conscious, and can tell you exactly what to avoid if you have any particular allergies! The mains and two salads is a HUGE portion, so make sure you’re hungry. I came later in the day and some of the salads were sold out already, which is a sure sign of how busy they get. The Tropical juice was the real winner for me!
L. N.
This is my favourite restaurant in Dublin! The menu is always changing and the portions are generous. It always feels like a treat and it's healthy which is a great bonus. The staff are so lovely and friendly if you have any questions about the dishes or dietary requirements. Highly recommend popping in here.
C. R.
Probably the longest running vegetarian eatery in Dublin... Food presentación and quality dramatically improved over the years, accompanied by a commensurate price hike! Clean and bright, however, the manner in which the queue forms and congeals around the foodstuffs is a little claustrophobic, that's without the pandemic. Great choice for vegan foods, everything clearly labelled according to preference and diet.
M. D.
Really nice and cousy place to eat, the restaurant in on three flors so there is a lot space and it's interesting too, beacause it looks like an old living apartment. The food is for vegeterians, so there is no meat, but it's so delicious and fresh prepared that is a must try.
L. D.
Amazing food, the staff are so lovely and welcoming. 10/10
S. N.
Great place to eat great vegan-ok food in Dublin. This place has wonderful vegan-ok dishes, and also vegetarian. Hopefully they’ll shift to full vegan ASAP! Tried a mix of different dishes from the display case. All were healthy and delicious! If you are visiting Dublin, you have to go and try their wonderful vegan options!
E. C.
You could not find a better standard of vegetarian food or customer service in Dublin. Visiting this restaurant makes you feel like you are visiting family, always so welcoming! Great to see how well they have adapted to the new indoor dining safety precautions too.
R. F.
This is my go to veggie restaurant in Dublin. I’m so happy they’re open for indoor dining again - the atmosphere in Cornucopia is what makes it so special as well as the great quality food. Was in today and everything regarding customer safety and restrictions is really well implemented. I felt so relaxed having my first indoor meal. The staff are great - thanks for making such an effort.
B. A.
Cornucopia is amazing! Almost everything they serve is vegan, they’re very transparent about ingredients/allergens, service is fast, and the food is delicious!
The main menu seems to change daily, but I’m sure any day you go, it’ll be great! We ended up getting two mains when we visited: a Vegetable Stew and the Ragout, both served over rice. We also got a piece of the banana bread (with no sugar), and it was amazing!
Highly recommend if you’re looking for whole food plant based restaurants and vegan options in Dublin. Will definitely be back again!
D. H.
Great ambiance - live music some nights - friendly staff!! The food is absolutely delicious!! If you’re vegetarian or vegan definitely check this place out!
E. M.
Wonderful restaurant with amazing food - particularly the salads (very generous portions)!! Their frozen meals are great too! Always greeted with a smile by the friendly staff. My favourite vegetarian restaurant in Ireland!!
L. A.
Best vegetarian restaurant in Dublin and family run! I love popping in any time of day. They do the perfect veggie breakfast and its a gorgeous place to relax and meet friends! Have loved the take away food they've made over lockdowns and I can't wait to go back now that it's opening up again! Highly recommended!
E. J.
My to-go place for great vegan food. This is my nth visit and always loved the food. The place is ambient and pleasing. One of the best vegan/vegetarian resto in Dublin.
S. T.
I hadn't been to Cornucopia since before the pandemic began but I needed some lunch during an office visit and I was delighted to go back. There was a great range of vegan food on offer such as quiche, casserole and lasagne, as well as a number of salads and loads of sweet treats. I chose the aubergine, pepper and mushroom lasagne. It was so delicious! Really tasty and flavourful. I can't wait to be in town again for an excuse to head back for a feed.
N. G.
Heaven for vegans (almost all dishes are vegan). Very good breakfast, lunch (generous portions) and desserts. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Excellent experience!
J. R.
Always excellent food from great people. Their fantastic veggie menu helped me go vegetarian more than a decade ago – when there was only a handful of veggie spots in Ireland – and it's great to see their doors back open.
S. B.
Quality of the food is unreal, only complaint would be price as its 15 euros a meal and there's no waiter service, you go up and get your own food. I usually don't feel full unless I've ate meat but was satisfied! Was good enough to try again! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
A. M.
Great spot if you are vegan/vegetarian or just love food. It’s a family ran Dublin staple in the heart of the city. Perfect spot for lunch! Staff are also amazing! I also have their cooking books! Can’t recommend this place enough!
C. F.
Been going to cornucopia for 10 years. Would have been really hard to be a veggie working in town without it. Love to see how they have embraced new ways of being vegan in recent years and have made the transition easy for me too! Love their lunch deals and exciting dinners plus their stock of vegan treats in the fridge. Always feel really good after eating here. Thanks :)
S. G.
This vegan eatery has a counter service, where you order your food then bring it to the table of your choice. One thing that was difficult especially during peak hours was the trying to read the menu, watch out for the wait staff all while standing in line.
When you purchase an entree, 2 salads are included in which there is a huge variety to choose from. They also feature a small refrigerator with sushi, juice and other small items for purchase. Overall, it was a must go to if you enjoy eating healthier as a choice or whether you have food allergens which hinder you from enjoying a meal out.
A. L.
A gorgeous spot for vegan/veggie lunch. I've never had a bad meal in here. A little gem in the heart of the city.
N. M.
The avocado chocolate cake and the sugar-free banana bread are absolutely amazing!! One of the best vegan places at this price range I’ve been to. High quality and fresh ingredients, many different meals, friendly staff. The turmeric latte was delicious, too.
G. T.
Lovely all round, if a bit pricey for what it is. Healthy food, great location & great atmosphere.
J. D.
Had a yummy lasagne. I found this place a bit expensive but the staff is just gorgeous! So helpful and friendly and attentive. They even supply doggy bags needed cos the servings are quite generous. Hence the price, I suppose!
J. M.
Lovely food but I was a bit confused as no one asked for my covid cert even though I was sitting inside. I didn't feel very safe as I wasn't sure if the other customers that were sitting inside were vaccinated or not.
K. R.
The best vegetarian food in Dublin :) i have been coming here for years and the food has always been exceptional. It has been a tough 18 months for restaurants but it’s great to see family run places back in business, I felt that all covid procedures were handled so well and the staff were so friendly!
S. D.
Wonderful restaurant and one of my favourite places to meet friends. Highly recommended for mixed groups as non vegans friends find the food delicious as well. Particularly love the upstairs room.
D. Q. B.
Been here this Monday. It is not the first time,I been with some friends for the first time for them and they where very impressed . veget@rian all food! Staff great always busy. This place it is a great one. And if you like them will be nice to get the book too, I got one for a gift and really good one. Please see some pictures.Ciao!
M. W.
Some of the best vegan food I’ve ever eaten; tastes like home cooking. The vegan potato salad is especially great.
P. P.
It is the oldest vegetarian restaurant in Dublin and grew from a whole foods and cafe to an entire restaurant and has seating on ground, first and second floor. The staff follows covid guidelines and has their masks on when out of their counter.
The food quantity is great. 3 people can happily order 2 meals and go home satisfied. For reserving tables for big groups, please book them in advance.
We ordered Portobello Gratin, Stir Fry, Special Lunch meal and few deserts along with different drinks. Cannot complaint for even one dish. This place is a mecca for delicious vegetarian and vegan food according to me in Dublin. Especially if you like salads!
S. O. D.
Hands down the best vegetarian food in Dublin. This is a genuine, family run restaurant and one of the original vegetarian spots in the city, it’s a real dublin institution. Friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere right in the middle of the city!
T. H.
Delicious tofu scramble. Very cute hidden gem.
M. M. B.
Eating vegetarian at this great place doesn't let you miss anything. We tried 3 dishes and 3 different kinds of salad there and every single dish's ingredients were combined masterfully. Not my last time there!
S. P.
Great, tasty food with lots of vegan options (mains, salads and desserts). Good location near the shopping street, plenty of seating spaces (indoor) and reasonable prices.
B. B.
Ordered a salad and a curry via deliveroo. While the food is really nice, the curry portion was a kid's portion if even. 17 EUR and I'm still very hungry.
C. O.
Extremely delicious food and very sound staff. Plus they do absolutely fab meals that you can cook at home. A Dublin institution that lives up to its legendary reputation!
A. M.
It's a really good restaurant, whether you eat non-veg or not. It's amazing with so many vegetarian and vegan options. The main dishes are very filling with two salad options. There is a lot of variety in dishes from Jackfruit to Lentils to Potatoes. In all, I would totally recommend this place.
P. G.
Pleasantly surprised with the quality of vegetarian food. They serve 2 salads with the main course. Very tasty and a good quantity. Recommended for the veggies definitely
S. H.
I thought this was great. Brilliant for our mixed diets family.... we have a vegetarian and a coeliac. The meat eaters loved the tastiness of the vegan food. Top marks!
M. S.
epicenter of healthy food!! plus comfy and stylish sit in area upstairs, check it out !
D. L.
Loved it. I could not belive that vegetarian food would be so tasty. Staff was very friendly as well. I will be definitely coming back.
Thanks.
G. P. H.
Good soup & salads. I had their chocolate brownie recently and it was absolutely delicious!
A. H.
This little tri-salad mix of beetroot, sugar snap, rice noodle, and quinoa came up to less than €5 for DINNER! Definitely a steal if you ask me. I love the no-fuss, no-frills experience I had over here - you choose your table, pick anything you want to have, pay up, and tuck in. This restaurant puts to shame all those overpriced hip vegetarian establishments that have been spawned all over the city.
Also, I must add that I am a proper omnivore, but places like these really make me reconsider a meat-free lifestyle.
Well done to the folks behind this eatery.
J. H.
Love their vegan and vegaterian range and always happy with the taste and flavours of rhe food. Nice place to eat in or out in. Can be a bit expensive but the quality of the food is worth paying that bit extra cash.
N. J.
Really good restaurant with good vegan options. Got a Vegan Chicken Caesar wrap for takeaway, and it was delicious. Friendly staff.
D. F.
Dublin has a long history of vegetarian restaurants and Cornucopia is a big part of that story. Great to see so much Irish produce and providers supported by it too and the staff are excellent. A really nice business that is a part of Dublin now.
G. G.
Absolutely brilliant restaurant with amazing staff. Shame to see the behaviour of a few on here leaving poor reviews due to vaccine requirements. This is not the fault of any restaurant but a law over which they have no say in. It's been a very difficult time for all restaurants without having to deal with this sort of nonsense too.
B. G.
Delicious; if you love vegan food this is a must; I kept heading back; my favourites were the vegan lasagne & aubergine chocolate cake 😋😋
F. E.
Beautifully and lovingly made vegan/veggie food. You can’t visit Dublin without having lunch here at least once - it’s one of the best healthy restaurants in town in my opinion. They’ve a wide variety of dishes and they are so friendly and helpful if you have questions.
P. S.
Great vegan menu with a range of flavours on offer both sweet and savoury. Canteen style service and very nice to sit in
T.
Love this place!! I'm not a veggie myself but absolutely love the food in here! Staff are so nice, great spot in town for a quick bite! 👌🏻
S. D.
Spectacular selection of dishes. Can be very busy at times and is evidently highly popular. As far as I can tell, the menu changes daily, so only use the online menu as a guideline. I had a mushroom and beet gratin, which was not listed at all. The food was amazing, portions are quite large, and prices are reasonable. Juices are fresh pressed. Can highly recommend and will come again.
l. t.
One of the best vegan breakfasts I've ever had!!
Scrumbled "eggs" made with tofu. Really delicious.
A. B.
After traveling around Europe and eating a lot of bread and cheese, I was in need of some vegetables! This place did not disappoint. The dishes were so creative and fresh! The prices are a little expensive, but it's totally worth it because the food is so delicious.
T. Y.
Friendly staff, the food was delicious with a nice arrangement of different items, and the service was quick and polite. Decided to try the vegan dishes and was surprised by how delicious they were!
O. R.
So far, the best vegan food in town. Friendly staff, cozy rooms upstairs. Recommended
J. M.
This is a must visit spot in Dublin. All-vegan, delicious food and sweets. And it is always busy, which can only mean other people love it too
m.
One of the best veg restaurants I've ever been to. I visited Dublin 2 years ago and I came here quite often and once I had a really amazing "jackfruit fillet".
This time I took my family here and they said they loved the food, and that doesn't happen often with veg restaurants 😊
M.
Love the food, so much variety! Great to have a nice vegetarian restaurant that actually has so many options to choose from.
N. A.
Very good food and incredible staff.
Recommended if you’re vegetarian or vegan.
I. H.
Excellent variety of vegan options, food, desserts, yum!
Staff is super friendly and very efficient
M. T. L.
Lovely the place (in the very center of Dublin), the food (vegan and tasty), the atmosphere (slow) and the very nice and young Staff💝
K. I.
Not so easy to understand how to order or whats in which salad, but all tasted great. Location & staff are ok
J. R.
Food was nice but my visit to the toilet left me feel sorry I had eaten here.
The toilet was filthy and it was days of stains, etc on bins and surrounds.
Very bad.
R. W.
Really lovely restaurant, the best veggie food in Dublin. The staff are great, really friendly. Will definitely be returning when I'm in town again!!!
G. G.
A very good vegan restaurant. You can ask for both vegan and vegetarian food and they will inform you. The price is around 13€each one but you get a big plate.
G.
Used the togoodtogo app and received a really generous and delicious bag.
Definitely a restaurant i wil be visiting again as a sit down customer!
A. W.
I was pretty worried about finding vegan food in Dublin, but this place was perfect. I kind of wanted to try a vegan take on some traditional Irish food, but this was delicious for what it is!
C. K.
The baked beans and mushrooms were delicious. The vegan sausage was a little dry. Relaxed environment with nice wallpaper.
S. K.
Amazing food, friendly staff and doing everything they can to keep us safe during these times. I'll always recommend Cornucopia to a friend and can't wait to go back again!
L. W.
Everything about this restaurant is amazing. Food is fresh and always so tasty and I am a huge fan of their baked goods. I always get something from Cornucopia when in town!
S. I.
Excellent food, friendly staff. Generous portions and great value. Come here, whatever your dietary restrictions! You won’t be disappointed 🙂
Y. K.
I loved the food here, delicious, reasonably priced and you got a Lot of food as you can see. Best of all that's all 100% plant based, what's not to like 👌
D. T. S.
When a place produces its own cook books you know they’re passionate about what they do.
Top place, great food and even better people. You’ll go as a customer and leave as a friend.
R. S.
Had this place listed for Vegetarian Delivery under Deliveroo in Dublin but had a confusing menu option so skipped it at first.
Was passing thru this street and got this lovely fragrance of Curry and there it was Cornucopia... heavens for Vegetarians and Vegans... looked at Menu and thought lets experiment and must say... Nice ambience, good food Options, lovely smell of food for ur tummy... Doesnt look delicious from Menu but once inside and world changed... Definitely recommend for 5 stars for Vegans and Vegetarians 😎
C. F.
Very good soup, smoothie and salad. Excellent salad variations and soup ingredients. Very friendly service. Great restaurant with mostly vegan dishes. I really liked it!
C. C.
Best vegan food in Dublin in my opinion! Always stop into Cornucopia when I'm in town as I just cannot resist! My new obsessions from the products they sell are Leamhain Ice Cream Sambos (the best vegan/GF ice cream out there) and Dublin Oat!
P. K.
Tasty raw soup (carrot avocado) and a green salad, green juice and some seeded cracker w vegan spread. Delicious and on the menu as the Health Special.
J. P.
Had a brilliant breakfast/brunch here! fast and friendly service, so impressed I bought the cookbook on my way out!
E.
Amazing vegan/vegetarian food. Very good for both a quick bite and a sit down meal. Great range of options are always changing
E. L.
My favorite restaurant in Dublin. Even I'm not vegun. Cosy atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff highly recommend.
D. S.
If you are Vegan and/or GF (and even if you’re not) and don’t eat at Cornucopia in Dublin, you’ve really missed a delicious, fresh, flavorful, meal served by the nicest (thank you Kate and server who was leaving but helped us get seated first) staff in the city. Wow! Each dish and salad was superb and the best GF/Vegan desert I’ve had in the city. We’ll be back every week. Go, go, go!
V. R.
First time visiting the place super enjoyable experience wonderful staff great service will definitely be back for future visits with my friends.
I. P.
Excellent service. The chickpea and mushrooms roll was delicious. I'd definitely recommend
M.
Amazing food, every time, and service with a smile. I am hooked! Had to buy the recipe book too 😊.
c. b.
Nice place. Friendly staff, not that vast choice but good quality was good. I liked the tap water option
D. B.
The Irish stew with seitan was incredibly satisfying and the salads were fresh, flavorful, and not over dressed. Cleaned-the -plate so good.
G. W.
Probably the most welcoming place in Dublin. if I could give six stars I could, food aint bad either. but the welcome, and the accommodation of any need you could imagine. You couldn't write it.
N. H.
Amazing vegan spot near Grafton st. Love going there for breakfast and lunch. Lovely staff and delicious, healthy food.
T. H.
Great spot for some of the best freshest inovative vegan food to be found in Dublin. A well established favourite cafe of the Vegans and non Vegans in Dublin.
O. K.
Absolutely love this place! Great selection of delicious food, dessert and wine as well as the best wallpaper in town. Cannot recommend enough 😍
J. G.
Delicious, huge portions of vegetarian & vegan food. I had the ragout purely because it looked so inviting.
M. V.
Omg the stir fri today was out of this world, haven't eaten anything this tasty in a long time. So, so, so, so good!!!!!!
A. G.
Great selection of vegan food. Vegan version of Irish breakfast was very good.
D. T.
The tastiest, most nurturing vegetarian food you can find in Dublin. A wonderful family run business that never fails to impress.
E. G.
Ive been amazed at how Cornucopia has maintained such high standards throughout continuous restrictions and lockdowns - always friendly, welcoming staff, and always delicious, wholesome food. I visit probably once a week, as there's always something new to try!
K. C.
Food is tasty and you get a pretty portion for the "main and 2 salads" deal. It's a bit of a wait in the line and staff don't have much time to interact with you but otherwise it's a very nice restaurant
D. Q.
Absolutely fabulous restaurant! The staff, the food, the great quality service! Go there if you love great food at great prices! Highly recommend it!
E. C.
Vegan and vegetarian options. Good sized portion, food and juices fresh. Also coffees and teas.

Delicious Gf and vegan options 😍

The place is great. The food is great. The only thing that let me down was that there wasn't many places to sit. Over all it's a good place and would definitely recommend it to others.
m. c.
I absolutely love Cornucopia, I've never been disappointed. The food is absolutely delicious 😋
A. M.
Good food
R. D.
So good we had to come back the next day again already.
The hummus plate with garlic potato salad is godsend.
M. S.
Good selection of salads and mains with plenty of vegan options however I found it quite pricey for the food you got.
B. H.
For me it was the best vegan restaurant in town. Was there twice and always had some great curry and fresh salad
V. B.
Very friendly staff and delicious food, although a bit expensive. You get a lot of food for your money, but maybe a bit too much 😝.
J. O.
Really good vegan food, amazing variety and good pricing. It will be full during lunch time, but you can also get everything as a take away. I would recommend this to everyone.
K. K.
Very tasty, nourishing vegetarian food, choice of wine and hot beverages (including my fav matcha), nice homey atmosphere and concept

B.
Great selection of vegan and vegetarian food, I'm not a vegan/vegetarian but many of my friends are so I come here quite often with them and they have food that everyone can enjoy. Large portions full of so many delicious flavours and reasonably priced, it's a good place to go if you have friends whose dietary restrictions you're unsure of, or even if you just want a casual lunch with your buddies

Amazing vegetarian/vegan food place. Very friendly, smiling staff and the food is just amazing!

Amazing vegetarian and vegan food with awesome staff! We came back several times during our stay in Dublin.
J. P.
Great food for vegetarians and vegans. The variety is good enough and the portion was quite large in my opinion. The staff was friendly and the athmosphere of the place was great.
S.
Lovely vegan choices. Pleasant cafe.
K.
Huge portions and nice food! A bit much happening on the plate, but I sure be back to try again!
D. B.
Fresh tasty food in cafeteria style. I would definitely recommend.
S. C.
Best food I’ve had in Dublin!! If you’re veggie, please come here :)
A. M. G.
Delicious vegeterian food. Quality ingredients and great flavors, atmosphere is cozy but casual. Loved it :)
r. g.
The take-away meals are delicious, hearty portion size and good value. They even deliver to your house on a Saturday. I buy many of them together as they are easy to store in the freezer and use them as I fancy. One meal often feeds 2 of us. For 3 people, I use 2 meals which gives us large portions.
v.
Really nice vegan and glutenfree meals. Big meals, and really tasty.
The carrot cake was godly.
M. L.
Incredible vegetarian food, always inspiring me with their recipes. Highly recommend!!
C. T.
Absolutely love this restaurant, the food is delicious and the staff are so kind and helpful. I've been going here for years and couldn't reccomended it enough.
S. M.
Went there three days in a row so I guess that speaks for itself. I love the variety of foods and their concept of the daily menu.
I. M.
Nice atmosphere with excellent vegetarian and vegan food! The portions are generous so you might want to share with a friend.
G. C. B.
I feel so happy to find vegetarian restaurants.
Fair play guys! 💚🍃💚🍃
L. D.
Great vegan cafe. Reasonably priced - especially the breakfast, that comes with free tea/coffee and toast. Really worth a visit
I. B.
I'm like this grocery store for the good choice and good price, nice store to find out the food I'm use to eat in homeland 😍
E. J.
I’m Brazilian, 29 yo and I’ve been living in north Dublin for 3 years. To be honest, I’ve never tried better vegan food in my life than cornucopia. Best food ever and service. Clean, organised, polite staff and fantastic atmosphere. I really recommend it and for sure I’ll be back so many more times. Thanks a lot!

Amazing food, excellent customer service. Reasonable prices

This restaurant is one of the best vegan places in Dublin.
The food is absolutely amazing and the staff is nice.
O. B.
Staff were lovely and very welcoming :) cauliflower and tofu pie was very tasty and a large portion too!
A. M.
Cornucopia always deliver a top customer experience (from an amazing team) as well as delicious food. Even throughout the pandemic, it has remained a haven for generous portions of wholefood, wholegrain, plant-based goodness at a reasonable price.
H. M.
Amazing breakfast with tofu scramble and homemade baked beans! Would definitely recommend for vegans 😁
M. T.
Would have been worth it just for the sprouting salad. But everything I had was excellent! Great variety, and wonderful tastes. An a nice selection of wines and beers which doesn't always happen at wholefood places. Passed it by earlier when it looked busy, but any time I visit Dublin I'll go there again no matter how busy.
E. G.
Very tasty vegetarian food, I'm going come back soon.
S. O.
The best spot for lunch in town! Food is always delish and the staff are amazing!
T. O.
Always come here when I visit Dublin. Great vegetarian food in a lovely Georgian building.
A. K.
One of my favourite restaurants in Dublin! I love the variety of salads, soups and mains they have every day. You can't get bored of this place! Everything is so fresh and new portions are constantly put out as they run out. Every dish is so tasty, and the portion sizes are very generous for the price. I have never left here feeling hungry or unsatisfied.
S. R.
A fabulous restaurant, delicious veggie and vegan food and friendly service that can’t be beat!
M. P.
One of the best vegetarian restaurant in Dublin.

Planty of options. Taste Like home made food. 8 days in Dublin. This this the best food i ate.
B. L.
Kindness and exquisite attention, rich and healthy dishes. Very nice place :)

This restaurant is entirely vegan, and that is no secret. It is packed and hard to find a place to sit, but they do have seating upstairs as well as on the main floor. I have had two equally outstanding meals here. They do such stunning things with mushrooms and nuts to create hearty, stick-to-your-ribs food, including a marvelously rich Irish stew. The desserts are gorgeous and decadent. Their scones (including a savoury scone!) are of the same comforting texture and flavor as the traditional scone. They have a variety of subtle, complex salads as sides. I live in a place with a lot of great vegan options, but this kind of really hearty food is hard to come by anywhere. It is definitely the best food I've had in Ireland, and I will sneak back there one more time before I leave.
L. H.
Absolutely loved coming here during our stay in Dublin. We've dined here twice and had breakfast once. A lovely place to go due to its good-natured and relaxed atmosphere and comfortable ambiance. The food is great and you get good quality and quantity for your money. The whole menu is vegetarian/vegan, most options being vegan. A welcome relief from having to order only fries and a salad when out for dinner. The food is familiar, so non-vegan friends will love it as well. Order a nice lasagna or breakfast sausage and you won't even notice it is vegan. It is buffet dining, so you order what you like, pay and then find yourselves a table.

Very tasty plant based food. Cooked fresh
S. A.
My friend and I popped in here for lunch on a weekday. It was busy! The quality and freshness of food explains why it is so popular! I read that it is a family-run business, been around for 30years. We had the lunch special, which I thought was very reasonably priced. €10 for an enormous salad bowl, plus a thick soup, with bread. It was so filling - I still wasnt' hungry at dinner time! Everything was delicious. All vegetarian, with vegan options. Best labelling of allergies and ingredients I've ever seen. Gluten free options too. Variety across the full range - drinks, meals and desserts. Top spot!
N. F.
Standard vegan/vegetarian spot, great value for delicious hearty food. Staff are always very friendly. Such a cosy spot! And that vegan aubergine pasta is amazing! If anyone knows what day that's sold, please let me know! Dying to have it again!
C. B.
Amazing place! Some of the best vegan food I had. Several standing items and some rotating daily dishes, vegan and or raw. You can a soup w two salads or a dish w two salads or just salads or soup... Cold and warm dishes.
Loved the tembollini w eggplant, rice and vegan pesto and an almond sauce.
Great setting too. Victorian bldg w three floors to sit on all cozy and intimate. A must!
K. B.
Great and wholesome vegan food that's filling and flavourful. Always a lot of choice and everything is delicious. Reasonable prices considering the gigantic portions. Nice atmosphere that's easygoing and casual and plenty of tables so you can always find a place to sit. A good filling meal thatll make you feel healthy.
C. D.
One of the best places to eat in Dublin. Absolutely delicious !
J. B.
Sometimes it's great, other times not. Went in the other day and most of the dishes were tofu-based. Despite my reservations, I got one. This was a mistake.
K. W.
Always a fantastic spot and great food. Big variety of mains, soups (always 2-3) and salads (usually more than 10 options) It is on the pricey side but portions are very big and satisfying. Great for anyone who loves vegan food.
A. N.
Always lovely food, great service and lovely to have a place with a huge range on the menu. Been for both lunch and dinner before and all soups, salads and mains were delicious. Portions are really big so def didn’t leave hungry. Sustainable packaging too which is always great!
y.
One of the best salad places I've tried in Dublin. Their food is sooo tasty but also healthy. The place is quite big so you're guaranteed to find a sit to enjoy your meal. Hot meals can be pricey but they're well served.
Y. J.
Cornucopia took me by storm. I did not have any preferences nor did I read any reviews before visiting. They had a variety of options for lunch and I did enjoy the tasty Thai curry cuisine. The restaurant was really spacious spreading across two floors. They had seating for different group sizes. Pricing is a bit on the upside; but given the ambience and location it's not to be complained.
M. M.
Very tasty food for vegetarians and vegans and those others trying to be more healthy. Huge portions, perhaps a little too large even. Also enjoyed the breakfast. The upstairs seating area is a much need and welcome edition. Their valentines night dinner is worth a go.
K.
My favourite restaurant in Dublin as a vegan. Lovely cosy vibe to it, not to mention fantastic food. Great portion sizes. I love sitting upstairs by the window. Only wish the prices were a little lower but would still give it 5 stars. Great place!
M. S.
A very busy and bright vegetarian restaurant with good choice of hot and cold dishes. Quality of the ingredients shines through. The dishes are creative and innovative. Plenty of extra seating upstairs. A small salad with a choice of the 3 daily salads is an absolute bargain. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I can't recommend this gem enough.
M. O.
Great food with loads if options! Hearty comfort food or more health conscience options with teas, kombucha, and lemonade. Desserts were lovely and pricing to be expected. We sat upstairs where it was more quiet, quaint and charming. So happy we came here!
L. V. C.
I love it; the menu plenty of options, the dishes are very succulent, excellent ingredients plus the best mood staff, happy New Year my fav veg Restaurant!!
D. H.
We visited for breakfast whilst on a 2 day trip to Dublin and I wish we had found this place sooner. The food was excellent and all at a sensible price. We went for the vegan options of which there were plenty. The atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxed but I can imagine that it gets busy around lunch time. All the staff were very friendly and the service was quick. A must visit for vegetarian and vegan food.
C. d. G.
Great food... Pricey and long queue.
A. P.
Super friendly, huge portions, good nourishing warm food and ample cozy seating. I shared a plate with my sister because it was so big! Love that they mark the menu with allergens- such a blessing for those of us with dietary restrictions!
K. M.
Great menu on offer here...I’m seriously impressed with how tasty everything was and how generous the portion sizes were. The staff are also really pleasant. I would recommend this place to anyone, not only vegans and vegetarians.
H. S.
This restaurant was amazing! We just returned from our first trip to Ireland and I was excited to try some vegetarian dining and Cornucopia did not disappoint! Hands down the best restaurant we ate it and I will definitely go back if I ever return to Ireland. We each got our own entree and couldn't stop eating each other's because it was all soo good! Thank you for the delicious food! And their Unicorn Tears tea was amazing!
M. F.
If they were ditching the few non plant based options, it would be five golden stars. You cannot find tastier and more fulfilling salads than in this place. Wine is very good for a decent price, plenty of options for sweets and about 5 / 6 mains that change daily. I have been going here regularly for about 10 years.
L. S.
I went here with a group of seven friends the other day and all of us loved it! This restaurant is canteen style so you order at the bar and they dish up your meal in front of you. You can order a main meal with two salads for €14.95. There is also a wide selection of breaks off of the main menu. They have loads of vegan cakes for sale too. This place is highly popular so I recommend coming as early as possible so the meal you want isn't eaten up! They're are multiple floors full of seating and the restaurant is very stylish. The quality of the food is outstanding and it's so nice to be able to enjoy healthy food while dining out.
D. E.
Fantastic selection of wholesome food. I'm still full writing this review three hours later!
M. B.
Absolutely delicious can clean meal, thank you for existing!!
H. H.
Amazing food. We stumbled upon this place just looking for some good food. You definitely get your money's worth the portions are huge and the food is awesome. Make sure you try their vegan cakes. Yummy yum yum
J. R.
Great food with loads if options! Hearty comfort food or more health conscience options with teas, kombucha, and lemonade. Desserts were lovely and pricing to be expected. We sat upstairs where it was more quiet, quaint and charming. So happy we came here!
A. D.
I love this restaurant. It serves really delicious, healthy food. The salads are exceptional. They do a good lunch deal, but it can be busy. My kids, although welcome, don't like the food. Upstairs is a lot quieter.
O. L.
Cornucopia is a Dublin institution and remains my favourite veggie restaurant in Dublin. They offer really tasty and innovative main courses with really exciting salads and their soups and desserts are also excellent. My absolute favourite is the vegan jackfruit sausages served at breakfast time. This place is quite casual and the staff are always nice.
G. B.
Excellent vegetarian/vegan food. As good as we have had anywhere. Vibrant, busy place with very friendly staff. Definitely recommend to anyone, even meat eaters like myself who fancy a change.
M. M.
I'm a regular here because I just can't get enough of it. It's a really busy place but it's definitely worth waiting in line during peak times. Their food is great and most are vegan options with some that are vegetarian. Their Goulash and Lasagna are delicious. Their desserts are great too (lemon cupcake & chocolate brownie are my favourites). Ending off with a lovely coffee with whatever milk alternative you want. And no matter how busy they get, the staff have always been so patient and friendly. Keep up the great job!
S. H.
This is always our first stop when we visit Dublin! We have come here in years past and enjoyed vegan full Irish breakfast but our flight came in later so we hit them up for lunch. What a treat! The amount of food and value was great and the flavors were delicious. I had the stuffed eggplant with a potato and quinoa salad and my husband had the stew with greens. It was busy and tight quarters but cozy and the food was so comforting. We will continue to come back here, also great place to get vegan pastries to go for traveling.
C. O.
Excellent vegetarian/vegan restaurant. Nearly 30 years open in Dublin it has gone from strength to strength, expanding from a one room buffet place into a larger more upmarket but still homely place. Staff are always lovely and the food is great. No table service though so good for a slightly more casual meal. Try the vegan garlic potatoes with roasted hazelnuts.
S. M.
5 stars to vegan cooking, yum! Too expensive though and portion size without rice for the same price is far too much. This has stopped me going. But the food is lovely and the staff are great.
N. D.
Absolutely wonderful vegan/vegetarian restaurant. Honestly one of my favorite restaurant ever in the whole world. Most dishes are vegan, come in big portion, with a side of two salads. Great variety and always fantastic. The restaurant is very cosy and homey, the staff is extremely friendly. Can't recommend it enough.
J. M.
Very nice atmosphere here. It's a good place to chill out with friends and family for a bite to eat or a coffee. There's a huge selection of vegetarian and vegan options for people and they all taste amazing!
M. E.
Absolutely smashing veggie and vegan options, couldn't wait to try it out after reading the reviews and wasn't disappointed! So much flavour in every bite and with a constantly changing menu, I wish I could go back every day! They also deliver so I know what my next Sunday hangover cure will be ! ;)
R. Z.
Quite possibly the best vegan meal I've had anywhere. Great vibe, delicious variety of salads, entrees, and desserts. I would come here again and again if I lived in Dublin!
T. T.
Caters to vegan or dairy free diet. Brownie was delicious, mains were pretty good (stir fry and salads 8/10). Building decor is cool, feels like you’re in a old house. Staff very friendly and helpful.
S. L.
Excellent vegetarian food, large choices of hot and cold dishes, soups and salads. The staff is very friendly and the space pleasant. Portions are huge but presentation in the plate/bowl could be more sophisticated/elegant.
I. M.
We ate here twice in three days of our Dublin trip ! Great location, very sophisticated and lovely atmosphere. Good choice of tasty food , even vegan. A bit pricy but totally understandable (15 eur a big main dish with two side salads and 5 eur vegan cake). Friendly staff.
Á. C.
My favourite vegetarian place in Dublin. Amazing taste, great selection of food and extremely friendly staff. Portions are more than enough and if can't finish you can bring it home. I can recommend to anyone even meat lovers. They have fresh juices, teas and coffees as well and free filtered water.
C. U.
Portions are very generous and the flavours are incredible. It may not look like much when you walk in but the food does the talking here. I tried six salads with on friend on my first visit here and each one of them was amazing. Staff are friendly and helpful and the clientele are a nice mix of people. Don't judge it by looking in the window. Just go in. If you're vegetarian (and I'm not!), this is a must visit.
A. H.
Lovely vegetarian Restaurant. It has about 6 different meals to offer every day, kind of buffet style. You get to choose two salads with your main. The portions are massive for a really good price. The food might not look perfect when plated, but you won't mind because it tastes pretty good.
S. S.
Always top notch food in a cosy welcoming environment
A. B.
Delicious vegan and vegetarian food. Served in a line, cafeteria-style, but very fresh and good quality. A large selection of salads. Raw and hot soups available. Delicious desserts. And they make excellent coffees.
K. T.
Lovely atmosphere and really tasty vegeterian and vegan meals. Amazing salads too. It's a walk in type of restaurant and no booking required. There's seating on three levels. The place is tastefully decorated and has a great vibe.
P. B.
It is our favorite place in Dublin. Almost everything is vegan and everything is vegetarian, but even everybody can find amazing food there. The price is good for the quantity of food, considering it is in the center of Dublin. The atmosphere is really great and charming. Perfect for lunch as well as dinner.
F. W.
We turned up to this gem of a place with quite a hunger as we'd been walking all over the Dublin city streets.
We are so glad we stopped in.
The food was delicious, abundant and homemade. We both chose vegan special from the signature dishes.
Highly recommended.
K. M.
Great place to eat for vegetarians (and vegans, I believe). You pick your food, pay for it, and then find a seat and enjoy! They have seating on three floors, with nice ambience and friendly staff.
C. K.
Absolutely the best at what they do. Brilliant people. Brilliant food. Brilliant service. Thanks so much!
F. S.
It is not easy to find a veggie restaurant in Europe but Cornucopia has an impressive selection of vegetarian and vegan food. And, of course, it is very delicious. The price is really cheap compared to other restaurants and chains. The location is central and there is plenty of space inside to sit for hours. The staff is also super nice and reflect the vision of the place. Well recommended.
S. M.
The best vegetarian restaurant I’ve been to in Europe. Many tasty choices available, including an amazing 10 euro lunch that includes 3 hearty salad choices (out of 12), bowl of soup, and crusty bread. It is often crowded, but the line moves quickly. Be sure to check out the plentiful seating on the 2nd floor.
M. M.
Really great food with a focus on health and creativity. Beautiful location in a Georgian multistory building, friendly staff run by the warm family business. The prices are affordable and reasonable. Very busy though, so wouldn’t be a good location to read a book but yes to enjoy a good meal surrounded by positivity
K. A. M.
One of my favourite places in Dublin for food, coffee, cake, or a wee glass of wine. The food is fantastic, I'm not a veggie or vegan but I can't eat dairy so this is a great place for me where I am always guaranteed a lot choice. The atmosphere is lovely and the staff are always great. Can be a tight squeeze though so not always great for a pram or buggy, but most customers and staff will be as accommodating as possible.
Ä. F.
The pancakes were super deliscous. Definitely worth a visit 🤩
S. S.
I like it. Good fulfilling not obvious veg food.
C. F.
I read an article about vegetarian and vegan placed to eat in Dublin before taking a trip there. This place was at the top of most lists.
I definitely understand why now. You can order your own combination of food, or get something that they've already put on the menu. This place was pretty busy, and seating is at a premium even though it isn't a small eatery. It's very well known and lots of locals were there eating as well.
This place is a must visit for some good vegan eats!
E. B.
The staff here are lovely. I'm really glad I went. Food is good, try the pie and the lasagna. I think the mayo might be vegetarian but not vegan so ask your server when you get up to the counter
T. S. A.
The potato cake was absolutely divine! Diverse salad choice. I wouldn't say cheap I spent £19 for a main, two sides and a glass of wine but honestly, for such good quality I'm not complaining. Healthy liberal portion sizes. Casual interior but a special place. I'll be returning to Dublin very soon! Love, a very happy vegan :')
C. H.
So delicious I visited 3 times in 5 days. Had the best vegan irish stew there. The curry and goulash was also good. I still dream about their potato salad.
J. J.
The food is good, but the staff are impeccable and the highlight of the place. Great, nice and wonderful people. Had a wonderful time there and would recommend you give it a shot. They have several vegan and vegetarian options.
P. P.
Lovely restaurant with creative, wholesome vegetarian dishes. 14 euros for dinner gets you a main and two sides, generous portions. The ambiance is quite nice as well, very cozy. Weekends there is live music
E.
It's really nice to have a place that caters veggies, vegans and people with other requirements. I've brought a few friends here and they love having so much choice, as many regular restaurants have some pretty sad veggie/vegan options (enough pasta and beetroot w/ goat's cheese, thanks!) It's always pretty packed in here, that's the only reason I don't go more often - but great for them!
M. M.
Great vegetarian food.
Lunch Special great value. Small soup with 3 salads of your choice + bread and vegan pate €8.95
Very clean overall. You know that you are eating really good healthy food.
Highly recommend Cornocupia to all.
R. R.
This place is great for vegans and everyone realy, affordable prices and off course great food
D. D.
Vegetarian spot. Great value for money, main meal with two side salads for approximately €10. Huge portions and delicious, had a gorgeous Quiche! Two floors, two outside tables, cozy interior, harp playing live between tables... loved it
T.
Excellent vegetarian place... The food is tasty, fresh and delicious ... The portions are very nice. They have daily mains with seasonal veggies and you also get two salads with it. The place is casual and the staff is very friendly. We left with full and happy tummy and needed some time to recover :)
L. R.
Lovely vegan and vegetarian options! Warm, friendly atmosphere and fantastic service. Fresh, delicious food and a fabulous array of desserts and teas to top it all off. A classic staple for an vegan visiting Dublin!
S. J. B.
As someone who's not vegetarian - I really enjoyed the food from here. The portions are huge and it didn't feel like a rip off either. Would definitely revisit as I really enjoyed the layout of the place and the service there.
S. P.
The food, suitable for vegans and vegetarians, is simply amazing here. The place is clean, quiet and really well furnished. Very good location. Sometimes they host art exhibitions. Prices are not so high and there is a 10% discount for students.
M. 1.
Food is amazing! ! However I came here with my dad who isn't vegan/vegetarian but was nice enough to come here with me. He obviously didn't know what a lot of the food was and when he asked the person behind the counter they got quite annoyed, which was really disappointing, I always thought they were so nice and accepting here.
L. L.
I usually have meat with my meals but I was looking for something light and healthy to balance out the beef Boxty, donuts, stew, seafood chowder and other Irish foods I had been gorging on all week. Stopped in 20 min before closing and they were very welcoming. There was still a nice selection left of entrees and 6 types of salads. It all looked delicious! And it was! He loaded up the take out box that I couldn’t finish more than half of it and I had opted out of getting rice too. Fresh and crispy salads with a hearty entree totally made my tummy happy. I would go back again in a heart beat. The price for that area is very reasonable.
S.
Visiting here was one of the highlights of my trip to Dublin. I still think of the breakfast I had here and it was a few months ago! The home made bread was really delicious, complete with vegan butter and jam! I highly recommend Cornucopia!
V. O.
Friendly staff, beautiful food, salads are amazing, will definitely go back for more.
Five stars 👏👏👏
I. B.
I’d give it 6 stars if I could! It seemed like all dishes were VEGAN today. The soups were delicious and were served with delicious REAL BREAD (freshly baked today, no doubt) w/ vegan spread. HUGE PORTIONS for a decent price. I’ll come here again for sure!
A. D.
Excellent assortment of vegetarian meals all served up with friendly service in a cool space. We were in Dublin for 3 days. Did my research and went here the first night. Loved it so much we went there for lunch the second day and then had to go there again on the third day. This place is amazing.
I. G.
Tasty salads, wraps, and soups. Also, make sure to try the barley tea!
B. G.
So good and good prices! I had some house salad special with a soup and three salads and pâté and a juice. It’s supposed to come with a green juice but they let me get the orange passion fruit one without charging for upgrade. There are 3 floors to sit so even though the bottom floor looked busy the second floor was quiet (and beautiful) and the third floor was completely empty (also decorated different but beautiful). I will definitely return.
R. M.
Ate here five years ago on a visit to Dublin and I still think about it. I’ve never left a restaurant feeling so full yet nourished. They have a clever menu of constantly changing seasonal dishes that will sell anyone on whole food plant-based eating.
D. L.
One of the few vegetarian-only spots in Dublin city.
Don’t expect much in the way of wait service here - It acts like a lunch canteen, you go up to the counter and pick out what you want from behind the sneeze guard. It is quite pricey for what it is and how it’s presented but the food tastes good. Unfortunately due to the lack of restaurants of this type in the city this is probably the best option you’re going to have.
I’d recommend giving it a shot for the vegetarian options, or for a healthy alternative if you’re a meat-eater like me.
B. M.
One of the best budget vegan restaurant in Dublin without question. Great quality and varying food, tipically with one main course to chose among 3-4 options and 2 salads. Quieter areas up stairs
K. S.
Excellent food, good prices, tasty wine. Lots of options had sold out because we came so late but what was available was really fresh and interesting. Clean and tidy restaurant with some good song choices.
J. P.
Simply one of the best places for vegan food I've ever been to. They season their food expertly and there's always a variety of thing to choose from. Very reasonable prices and nice service too.
P. O. C.
The food is delicious & quickly served.
Portions are huge & I think 2 people could probably share a €14.90 meal.
Venue is nice, lots of people eating on their own, which is always nice to see.
M. W.
I have no words for the awesomeness of this place!!! So much YUM! I wish they would open one near me in the states! Everything tastes very fresh, and indulgent...oh yeah, and vegan!!! They have vegetarian options too, but my meat eating friends would LOVE the food here as well! Totally worth the cost and everyone that worked here was patient with my many questions and indecisiveness on what delicious entree to select! Well done!!
S. S.
Great veggie place if you don't fancy going to one of the many junk/Street food places. Their menu changes daily and rarely disappoints but anything with pastry is a safe bet to be the best thing you'll eat all week.
D. G.
A great find in Dublin for vegetarian food. I ate here on a wet Monday night but that didn’t stop me enjoying it. It’s not cheap but the food is delicious with a lovely homemade vibe. I will definitely be going back here again.
P. D.
One of the best vegetarian and vegan resturants in Dublin. The food has been consistently good for almost 30 years. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Overall the restant is very clean with impeccable bathrooms.
K. L.
Good spot for Vegetarians. It's in an expensive part of town so prices are pitched to pay the rent. Black coffee and skinny piece of Bakewell Tart (no cream) €6.25. Nice staff. Spacious. Civilized clients. Won't break the bank so would suit most pockets.
c. m.
Probably the best food I had on holiday in Ireland, 2017 - everything was delicious - even my husband couldn't finish his very large lunch special - and that's saying something! Staff were incredibly helpful for us newbies navigating the extensive menu. Highly recommend this restaurant.
R. A.
One of the best vegan restaurant in Dublin....the dessert are super good! (All vegan). Staff is really kind. Big portions and low prices. They don't take reservations
A. J.
I spent the last week vegan-touring Dublin, and after many good experiences, this one was the best! The portions are huge, it tastes like good ol' home cookin', and it's the place any kind of diet can come and feel super satisfied. Love!
S. C.
Always serve a huge variety of wonderful food, suitable for vegetarians and most suitable for a vegan diet too. The portions are very generous, and every bite is delicious! Has great ambiance too.
A must visit for vegetarians, vegans, flexitarians, "I'm lowering my carbon footprint"-itarians...and everyone else too!
A. a.
Love this concept! Quick easy affordable vegan food. Staff is friendly, the ambiance is lay back.
It's great for a quick healthy lunch.
A. D.
I've been coming in here since the 70's. Love the food and it's really improved over the years.Haven't been in for a while. This evening dropped in for a snack and coffee.The young tall Dublin guy behind the counter is an absolute joy. He was so efficient, friendly and helpful to every customer. An absolute asset. The staff are usually very nice but he sticks out as down to earth and really interested in people. 👍
D. K.
Cornucopia is a really good experience for everyone not only for the vegan or vegetarian people. The food is delicious. You can choose from several salads and meals. If you are not fan of the salads you can also find really delicious main dishes which you can mix with others. I really recommend this place!
A. G.
Someone took our bag and we didnt get back from any staff... Bad experience...
Food nice...
P. P.
I’ll be generous and give this place 3 stars because the staff was very friendly and I’m glad the place exists, as vegan options can be hard to find in Ireland, but I’ve been disappointed both times I’ve been here in the last two years. Food has been healthy but very low on flavor and today the one thing I was excited for, tofu scramble, was already sold out more than 30 minutes before noon. I was appalled to be charged €1.50 for soy milk in my mocha, more than I’ve ever been charged anywhere! I wasn’t buying a carton, just a small dollop, in a restaurant that supposedly caters to vegan/vegetarians! I got the 5 item buffet. With no scramble, the vegan sausage looked like the next best thing so I doubled up on those, but they were bland and almost gross, perhaps the only time I can remember ever leaving vegan meat on my plate! They gave me a huge helping of shallots as if that’s something normal people eat aside from mixed into a dish, the hash browns were somehow browned on some edges but cold inside, baked beans were decent but a bit bland, toast seemed high quality but was hurt by an inferior vegan butter, seemed like a type of margarine available decades before Earth Balance and the many tasty options now available, warm tomatoes were probably the best prepared item but not what I’d like my meal to be centered around. Probably won’t be back. :(
C. D.
Great selection of delicious vegetarian and vegan food. Get in early for their breakfast deal, and they do a brilliant lunch deal that's €9.99 from 12-3 Monday-Friday.
M. R.
Just Amazing!
I had lunch one time and felt in love.
I will get back for sure.
R. O.
Best food I had in Ireland (and ever really). The food was so fresh with so much flavor; we felt like we were on cloud nine eating there. Also incredibly affordable and large portion sizes.
L. R.
I'm regular costumer of this place since years. The food is amazing, but recently I have the impression that each week my plate comes with less and less food. It's important to pay attention on it, as the main course costs 13.95 (not cheap) and it's expect at least a decent amount of food for this price.
K. S.
Absolutely delicious vegetarian food-- hard to find in Dublin! It's very busy during peak meal times, and sometimes they will run out of certain items because the food is fresh and wonderful! Try the house wine and the berry crumble for dessert- they will not disappoint!
J. S.
The food here is amazing. They had so many vegan options. I had a sweet potato curry. There was so much flavor and the portion sizes are great. The staff was very friendly.
J. B.
Fantastic food! First went for dinner and it was busy, but we got through the queue quickly. We went back the next day for lunch and it was much quieter. The food is absolutely delicious and the selection is great. Large portions and great for anyone avoiding any type of foods (refined sugars, dairy, etc.)
N. L.
Well prepared meals and lots of variety. Prices are reasonable. If they only had a bit better coffee(it's still ok by Irish standards) and a bit more staff I'd give them that last star.
W. R.
One of the first places visited in Ireland. Great staff and wonderful food experience.

Love the food here , a large variety of options for vegetarian and vegans. I am sure everyone would appreciate their food and salads. Perfect for a dinner or brunch, expect a bit of queue especially during weekend.
T. T.
Great healthy vegetarian options. The food is very well prepared and caters for many preferences. Staff are really friendly. Coffee is poor but I just get tea here instead. There are enough quality coffee options nearby.
P. L.
I'm neither vegetarian or vegan but Cornucopia is a proof that either can lead to really good and tasty food. I got a large salad and the 6 different one they give you were all equally good with great texture and taste
S.
If you have an onion and garlic allergy (like me) i would avoid this restaurant. One guy tried to help me and advised sorry all the mains have onion and garlic. No recommendation on what I could have.
Fortunately a lovely girl helped me out and found a list of ingredients for all the salads. Very grateful to her but they are simply too busy to deal with anyone with slightly complex requests.
A. O.
Although I didn't find the presentation of the mains particularly appealing (big trays of brown stew are not my thing), the portion of aubergine quiche I had was quite delicious.
On the side, several salads looked colourful and appetizing and I must say that the potato one was the best I have ever tried.
The portions are generous, the food is good, the teas are varied and the price is reasonable: I shall go back!
S. N. S.
Best vegetarian food in Dublin. Bit on the expensive side, but the quality makes it worth it. Beautiful views from their upstairs Georgian dining room. Cosy atmosphere. Definitely would recommend.
B. W.
Delicious and very reasonable price.
A. Y.
Good salads and vegitarian entrees for reasonable prices. The staff were all very kind and courteous also. So if you're looking for good veggies eats, check it out.
S. B.
Great veggie and vegan food in the city centre. Friendly helpful and attentive staff. Can be busy at peak times but well worth the small time queuing. As an omnivore I can honestly say I am always satisfied when I leave and return occasionally with pleasure.
J. M.
What a blessing this place is. Incredible options for mains and salads, you're gifted a grand portion and 3 levels to dine in. Less than €15 for all that food which is made with delicous vegan or vegetarian ingredients.
D. Ó. M.
The food was very tasty. Even though I am married to a vegetarian, I don't usually find vegetarian food hugely tasty but it was here. And I discovered the upstairs seating area as well today. It's quite pleasant.
A. C.
Cosy place with pretty good vegetarian food but it wasn’t to-die-for good. Might have had too high expectations from all the reviews. Could also be that it’s impressive for vegetarians but trying to amaze an omnivore is much harder. There was a musician playing a harp the night I was there which was cool.
T. C.
I'm a regular here for lunch / dinner, but finally got around to having breakfast here over Christmas. You get to choose 5 items from the hotplate for around a tenner. I had the last hashbrown (homemade from grated potato, deeeelicious), sausages (tomato based - also excellent) and homemade baked beans. Breakfast was rounded off with a decent cup of coffee and a slice of bread (included). I'm docking a star for the fact that even though breakfast is served to 12pm, when we dropped in at 11 there was a selection of maybe only 4 - max 5 items left. Which meant that when the people behind us asked for has browns, they were told they were all gone. I think if breakfast is advertised as being served until 12, it's the kitchen's responsibility to ensure that staples of that breakfast are available right up to 12. Otherwise excellent and highly recommended - but get there early!
S. E. S.
I went to Cornucopia because of my vegetarian friend and let me tell you - as a meat eater this place did not let me even miss it.
Food was fresh and so filling! And the best part was how they use spices, so good.
Will definitely go again (even without vegetarian or vegan companions)
E. K.
An excellent selection of premade salads. The hot plate bar was decent and well made. The fresh squeezed juice (The Refresher) was delicious too. It is a refreshing change to all the meat and potatoes you get while travelling everywhere.
D. W.
Wonderful food in a lovely location, but it was too chaotic and stressful for me. The whole process of struggling to find yourself a seat, putting your bags down to save that seat (which on your own can be risky), go back downstairs to join a que to get food (again stressful), and then precariously carry that up flights of stairs puts me off going again. Govinda's is cheaper, quieter, and still offers fantastic vegetarian and vegan cuisine.
E. Y.
I'm not a vegetarian, but the food here is pretty amazing. Creative salads and entrees that are healthy yet tasty. It's a nice break from some of the heavier foods at the more traditional Irish eateries.
S. H.
Lovely food and great place...Great choice on the menu.. Lost 1 star as there was no toilet seat on the mens toilet.. Instead it was thrown on the floor to the side.. The banister on the staircase was very sticky the whole way upstairs so could do with a clean.. But food is 10/10 over all.
M.
This is the place to go to if you're vegetarian or vegan! You line up to order your food and while there is usually a line, there are so many options that you need the time to decide. Always plenty of salads and the mains are quite filling. Interior is cozy and pleasant. Can be a good place for casual dates, or for lunch. You can also eat solo here, bringing a book or something and get stool seats by the window overlooking the street.
D. B.
You won't be disappointed. I had the enchilada, she had the soup lunch special. We loved the multiple salad selection, so creative and tasty. This place is clearly a popular lunch spot, so get there early.
S. M.
The foodis frickin’ amazing. So much flavour, but also quantity!! The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and comfortable. A great place to start your stay in Dublin.
V. J.
I love dedicated vegetarian places and Cornucopia is really great, but their ordering system really messes up the experience as queueing can be as long as 20 min long. They really need to put description of the food next to the dishes otherwise nearly every customer asks what is what.
Food is good though and the upstairs rooms are beautiful.
J. A.
Food is nice. Service could be friendlier - staff could be more excited about the food. Very tightly packed sitting area; not good for sitting down with your shopping, or if you’re wearing a laptop bag/rucksack.
M. C. N.
Everything was tasty, but the soups were the best choice. It's self service, so you know exactly what you're getting. Sometimes there's pleasant live music.
It's usually full, but you can book a table.
Try to avoid the room where people get the food, because the queue can be long and you'll find yourself sitting 1 inch away from the people standing in it. Besides, there's much more movement and your meal wont be as relaxed.
J. O.
Absolutely the best vegan and vegetarian spot in town. Have been going there for years and they never disappoint. Not full of themselves, casual and tasty.
K. B.
Had my lunch there today. Amazing staff and food.
S. G.
Amazing vegetarian restaurant. Fast, casual and filled with a great selection of healthy items. No wonder this place has such excellent reviews. Would definitely suggest trying the daily quiche and their assortment of salads!
A. L.
Ate here on a trip to Dublin last weekend. The food is amazing - my friend who lives in Dublin and is a vegetarian's favourite! - portions are large and the price is good. Worth it all round!
V. R.
I've been a costumer for several years and I still love this place. Food is so filling and tasty, prices are really fair. Staff is always friendly. So glad to go back after lockdown.
L. X.
By far the most amazing restaurant I've tried. Im a vegan and have tried so many vegetarian restaurants, most of which tried to make things taste like meat. This is definitely not my cup of tea. This restaurant is excellent becasue it does not loss the purpose of being a 'vegetarian' restaurant and tastes terrific at the same time. I was in Dublin 3 days and had all my meals here which I don't usually do cause I like changing.
Hugh portion. Definitely recommend this.
S.
What amazing fresh and quality ingredients - and incredibly savory! Am visiting from NYC, and decided to try Cornucopia on the recommendation of a local. Cornucopia’s quality, freshness of ingredients and savory menu simply blew me away. A wonderful vegetarian experience!!
M.
Canteen style vegan restaurant. The portion sizes are really big. The food is okay, but not amazing. Quite expensive, 15 Euro for a main. Especially as it is not take service. You have to go to the counter to get your food and drink and then carry it back to your table, which could include stairs
M. H.
Fantastic atmosphere with great music, friendly service and a superb choice of wholesome, vegan and vegetarian food.
A dream come true for people with allergies, too — clear labeling and simple ingredients.
Hands down one of the best restaurants I have ever been to.
L. G.
Cornucopia is a real delight for vegans and offers various meals, salads and desserts (LOVED the scones).
As tasty as it is, be prepared to queue. There's more room upstairs, be sure to check if downstairs is crowded.
Will definitely come here again on my next visit to Dublin!
R. N.
The most amazing vegan and vegetarian restaurant I've ever been to. We were in Dublin for 3 days and ended up eating here twice! Couldn't recommend it enough
N. H.
Amazing vegan restaurant. Wide selection of delicious food, nice deserts and a large salad bar. All this for a very good price. Although it was crowded, there was enough place and it was worth the wait!
G. D.
Lovely, lively, bubbly, and delicious. This place is often packed full, and people may come and go quickly.. But take your time to have a look around, choose your combination of meal, and enjoy great natural flavours.
S. J.
Got Deliveroo from here and it was great. Healthy and tasty which is exactly what I wanted. I got the daily special which was a hearty, warm stew of potatoes, carrot, lentils, beans and other yummy things with a generous helping of rice.
Also got the carrot cake which was yummy
b. g.
Consistently delicious & a good variety
S. C.
Love this place as the food tastes amazing even if you are not a veggie. Been here since the mid-80s. Not too pricy either and big servings. Only wish they had an accessible loo!
E. D.
Great place for a quick but good lunch or dinner. Completely vegetarian menu. Big portions, fair prices, friendly staff. Can be busy/crowded at times, but overall a good place to check out!
B.
Really good vegan food! Not a huge fan of the various salads which you can choose to come with the meals but the staff are very kind and the food tastes fresh and is delightfully warm.
B. D.
I've been coming to Cornucopia for nearly 30 years since my student days and these guys have a winning formula of consistently good veggie food at reasonable prices. Tip: the quiche is the best value. Docking a star for being a bit squashed, not having kid-friendly food and still being treated like they've never seen me before every time I visit. Keep up the good work folks!
C. F.
The food tastes great and the portions are huge! The location is busy but nice and spacious. On Saturday night when we visited there was an harp concert happening. Brace yourself for a lovely vegetarian meal :)
M. S.
In general its a nice place with a positive vibe and live background music I think around weekends :) Good selection of great food served daily. Good as an inspiration as well :) Highly recommended not only for vegetarians or vegans! :)
A. G.
First time I went there some good months ago I didn't like their menu. My mistake as I was in a rush during work lunch break. This time I went in the weekend and took my time to look what they are offering and didn't regret. For a very low price I've got plenty of food plus a fruit salad and they were delicious. Definitely coming back!
S. I.
Never thought I'd see a vegetarian restaurant here. They have great food, helpful staff, and a lovely cosy ambience. I tried their quiche of the day with chickpea, aubergine salad, and potato garlic salad. I got a huge portion! But the food was delectable...
R. C. M.
Really tasting vegetarian and vegan food. Good variety, and you get your food at the founter. Nice atmosphere. Prices are what to expect for Dublin, around 13 euros for the main dish.
C. B.
I visited Dublin last week and had an incredible vegan meal here. We have a ton of vegan restaurants in New York City, and Cornucopia far surpasses the majority of them. A definite must for vegans and vegetarians (and anyone who likes good food) visiting Dublin!
T. R.
I really enjoy eating in Cornucopia. They do these great meat / gluten free sausages that I've not found anywhere else. The food is usually pretty good, the only think letting it down is the dated decor, but don't let that put you off having some good food here!
T. K.
Absolutely fantastic vegan food. Amazing staff.
M. A.
Amazing vegetarian and vegan restaurant in Dublin. A nice "fancy casual" restaurant that has a service counter when you order and then you get your food and sit down.
Generally took us only 5-10 minutes to get food and get seated. All their meals were delicious and include two different types of salads. Desserts were great as well.
If you're vegetarian or vegan and visiting Dublin (or even if you're not!) This is a must visit for dinner one night
A. J.
The best vegan food I’ve ever eaten. In fact the best food I’ve eaten full stop. Had some kind of delicious aubergine slice with sauce and 2 side salads. Eeewow.
S. W.
Lovely vegetarian food in a slightly chaotic atmosphere. Their soups and breads are really delicious. Also love the falafel wrap, so tasty!
C. O.
This has got to be the only place in the city centre that is BOTH healthy and stodgy. Most healthy eating places will push a plateful of salad leaves at you, while you cry. But Cornucopia will heap a plate with good, hot food and crunchy salads, all delicious. There's seating problems at lunchtime, but that's true of anywhere in the centre of Dublin.
C. M. (.
For a non vegetarian, I absolutely enjoyed every bite and did not crave for meat.
For first time goer, find yourself a sit before ordering cos u might be stuck with a tray wondering around looking for a sit
H. P.
Good selection of salads and warm meals, teas. Reasonably priced. Self service to water abd cutlery and sauces is very convenient. There's plenty of seating. I like coming here and recommend.
V. M.
The reason for the 5 stars is not because of the food, but because of the helpful attitude of the staff, who wanted to satisfy the customer in every way they could, even if it meant suggesting an alternative place for a vegetarian food without onions and garlic of their choice that they could not serve . It is these gestures that go a long way, outclassing the sweetness of even their own vegan cakes and pastries.
K. D.
Amazing, organic, healthy food. I think it's entirely vegetarian and in many cases vegan/gluten free etc. Definitely recommended of you're in downtown Dublin and if you're a healthy foodie. Yum!
P. T.
I'm far to be vegetarian, but this place has the most tasty dishes available! Quality of good is pretty high, place is lovely and it's probable to find a seat! Both main dishes and desserts are amazing, highly suggested!
B. C.
The best place to get vegan/vegetarian food, always so tasty and plenty of options, I go there often and I’ve never been disappointed! Staff is lovely too.
J.
If only I could give 6 stars. I'm not even a vegetarian, but this place exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed a bowl of celeriac and paprika soup with a hummus plate as a main. Friendly, helpful staff who obviously knew what they were doing.
R. O. h.
I have lost count of how often I have eaten here but have NEVER had a negative experience. Their garlicky potato salad garnished with roasted hazelnuts is one of the best things I have ever eaten.
K. E.
great athmosphere. They speak different languages. all food is fresh and tasty and price is great. location is brilliant as it is at the heart of the city!!love it all. as well as they have a musician playing the harp adding a nice athmosphere to your Friday mood!
C. H.
I really want to love Cornucopia but after going quite a few times I am a bit bored of it now. Salads are always the same, deserts the same and also main courses. The non vegan options mains always look much nicer than the vegan option. I also recently had the cooked breakfast and it was revolting, bland, salty and greasy. I do think the food needs a big overhaul to keep people coming here regularly.
T. M.
No joke, my wife’s favorite place for vegan food. I loved it. Their menu changes frequently but always features something amazing.
T. D.
Loved this casual place and its hearty, filling and healthy vegetarian food. I didn't have table service and didn't see it available when I went for dinner, but it might be available at other times? I queued up and ordered from existing dishes at the counter. Really enjoyed my food and left satisfied.
S. K.
Warning - this place is addictive! You try something once, you'll always come back over and over again. Quite often queue is really long, but it's worth to wait for delicious food. If you think that there's not enough space then upstairs there should be just enough! Enjoy!
J. S.
Awesome vegetarian food, lots of choices makes your decision what to order bit hard.
Beautiful interiors and tasty food it's a perfect combo for relaxing evening with a friend or family.
M. A.
The food is really tasty. I never regret coming over for lunch. The service is always kind also. Thanks 🌿
A. S.
This place is unbelievable. If i lived here i would be there nearly everyday. The raw avocado and carrot soup i have probably had at least five times. The salads are amazing - it is true that you can wait in line for a while but it is definitely worth the wait.
S. C.
As someone who is dairy intolerant travelling with someone who is gluten intolerant finding places to eat is tricky. This place had everything we wanted and more.
Lovely food at a reasonable price.
S. B.
The food here is always amazing, they have a great range of fairly priced dishes, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.
R.
Great gluten free and vegan food. Desserts aren't overloaded with sugar
J. M.
The selection of food is amazing. I've been there three times and everything I've eaten tastes absolutely terrific. The staff is amazing, super friendly as well. 🤘
R. G.
I make it a priority to eat at Cornucopia whenever I visit Dublin from Canada. A unique restaurant, consistently good food, a welcoming environment, and a lovely atmosphere. I can’t wait to go back!
T. R.
I'm no vegetarian but this place really got me thinking. It's really really good. And healthy! I can highly recommend eating here. There will be a line, but it's always always worth the wait.
F. T.
The meal combos (main warm dish with a side of two salads) are quite big and affordable (11-14€ approx.) it can get a bit busy inside but the service is fast and friendly (self service at the counter, they serve for you), plus there is enough seating area on the next floor as well. The drinks might be a bit expensive but then again, so are most across Dublin. It is true that the menu on the wall is a bit chaotic and it takes some time to figure it out, but I would definitely recommend going there: the cannelloni are very good!
B. H.
One of Dublin's very few veggie only restaurants. Food comes out on big trays and you pick what you want. The food variety is great and the menu shakes up all the time. Great value for what it is.
a. r.
Beautiful and comfortable place to eat vegan, in the center of Dublin. Good food at very good price. Enjoy your meal listening great music.
I. M.
Nice big salads and hearhy food. Lots of options that make healthy food tasty! It gets pretty busy during lunch and it's a bit confusing how it works as when you ents you only have a long queue in front of you but no real menu to chose from before being in front of the waitress.
E. S.
I didn't think it was all that great as the prices are a bit on the high side. I got a curry with two salad sides, but it just as not that tasty, it was a bit bland and had no real taste. Maybe it was just a one off but for me I was not impressed sorry.
R. O.
Best restaurant in Dublin. Beautiful vegetarian hot meals and salads with super generous portion sizes. Fantastic value for money, lovely staff.
K. M.
Absolutely love Cornucopia! So many vegan options and always delicious. Lovely staff and great atmosphere.
T.
CRAZY!!! even if you are not vegan or even vegetarian (like me) you just HAVE TO LOVE IT!!! amazing food, amazing service- can't praise enough. And super patient staff if you are a V just for one meal. I had gone there "just to tried it out"..again and again aaaand again <3
P. M.
My favourite restaurant in Dublin. A must for vegetarians. Nothing fancy but you'll leave with a happy belly and a happy heart. Staff are all awesome and smiley too.
C. W.
While a little pricey for the likes of students you do get a very good, filling tasty interesting meal, he staff are friendly and open to customers asking to try 'a bit of everything'.
It can get very busy though and sometimes it feels like its tried to squeeze one too many tables in.
R. v. d. h.
Delicious food! Great range of different and uncommon dishes. Big place so plenty of space but still feels really cozy. Deff going back when around...
A. M.
Six days in Dublin - and we ate at Cornucopia three times! Very good vegetarian meals and a very relaxed ambience. Portions are large - we shared one portion between the two of us on each visit. Centrally located - a place to eat and relax after a hard day touring Dublin.
n. r.
Reasonable vegetarian food. Asked whether something had soy, it took them a while to figure it out. Most of the things seem to be made in house, some casserole style. Nothing special, or too flavorful. Pretty bland actually but if you must have a purely vegetarian restaurant this is it. Seating is awful, might as well get it to go and find a bench or curb somewhere.
J. K.
Cornucopia has been around since 1986 and is a Dublin institution for healthy, vegetarian food. They also cater to vegans, and people on gluten free, raw food, or low-sugar diets, with numerous codes listed after each dish on the menu (v, gf, etc.). Over the last few years they’ve improved and expanded, with nice seating upstairs and a more efficient counter space so the process of lining up, ordering food and finding a seat is now easy-peasy! Overall: Best Healthy Comfort Food Ever!
I had the Health Special (€11.95) that’s advertised outside. It was an amazing meal and I thoroughly recommend it – not just for the health benefits but also because it’s a great way to sample their amazing food. For 12 Euro you get a small soup (actually fairly big), salad greens plus your choice of two other salads, raw crackers (or bread if you prefer), vegan pâté, and a glass of green juice. For soup, I chose the sweet potato, butterbean and roast garlic and it was most delicious. Salad #1 was garlic potatoes with roast hazelnuts in vegan mayonnaise – this was truly amazing. It looks just like an everyday potato salad but it was the best I’ve ever had! The hazelnuts and vegan mayo really elevated it. Salad #2 was baked tofu, rice, arame, and scallion dressed in mirin and tamari – this was as good as or even better than the potato salad! The green juice was refreshing and light; nicely decorated with a sprig of celery. A great way to detox after a few nights out in Dublin. Having said that I did top off the meal with a glass of wine! (An organic Italian Montepulciano d'Abruzzo for €5.75 that turned out to be good also.)
I’m giving them 5/5 “green stars” for social and environmental impact. Kudos of course for being such a longstanding vegetarian restaurant, demonstrating to countless people over 30 years that meat isn’t necessary for an enjoyable meal. They use local and organic suppliers for fruit and veggies whenever possible, and their dry goods (beans, rice, lentils, etc.) are also organic. They use Fair Trade coffees and teas, organic milk, and free-range eggs for all cooking and baking.
They don’t generate a lot of waste and recycle and compost the majority of whatever is generated. They re-use plastic containers wherever possible and encourage customers to bring in their own take-away containers. If you take food away but don’t bring a container, they provide recyclable or biodegradable containers and biodegradable forks and knives. My only complaint was that their pate was served in little plastic containers even though we were eating in house, although they are at least recyclable. Their electricity is wind-generated, provided by Airtricity and they use natural gas for all cooking. They also have a bike-to-work scheme for employees.
P. L.
Line may be long but it moves quickly. This is by far the best vegan option in town. Food is so delicious I bought there cook book. Try the garlic potato salad
S. K.
Great vegetarian restaurant in Dublin : fresh and delicious food with many choices (vegan or not). And the atmosphere and the staff are great.
M. L. C.
Delicious! Mainly vegan food. I'd recommend sitting on the first floor (if you're lucky and have the choice). Prices are justified, I suppose: medium-high.
V. S.
Simply the best vegan/vegetarian restaurant I've ever visited. The food was absolutely amazing! Try the pancakes if you go for breakfast!
V. S.
The best vegan food ever! Never had anything I wouldn't like in here. In love with chef, if he's reading this and single - will you marry me and cook for me for the rest of our lives? 😊❤️
L. W.
We loved it here.. we are vegetarians and it was amazing to find this gem in Dublin. Very generous portions of delicious food !
A. D.
My weekly treat. I love this place. The food is great and very reasonable. Can't believe I walked past it for years without knowing how good it would be. Worth dropping in. You'll be back more than once.
