In our opinion, eating street food is one of the best, if not the best, ways of immersing yourself in the culture of any city. Food doesn’t have to be Michelin star quality to hit the spot and sometimes a relaxed environment is just what’s needed for people to really enjoy what they’re eating.
Dublin has long since been an incredible place to grab a bite to eat on the street and travelmag.com evidently agrees because Dublin’s been named in their list of top cities in Europe in which to enjoy delicious street food.
The article referenced the amazing Temple Bar Market, which is open between 10.30 am and 4 pm on Saturdays. It’s the perfect place to explore street food in the Irish capital. We’re definitely partial to the cheese stores but you can find a whole host of tasty produce from Ireland and beyond there.
Of course, the article mentions those classic Irish dishes and drinks (Guinness) but it also references the Coppinger Row Market, which is one of the best in the city. There you’ll find Mediterranean and Middle Eastern street food between 11 am and 7 pm every Thursday.
Also mentioned are the street food stalls beside the Grand Canal. You’ll find it on Fridays between 11 am and 2.30 pm where Lower Grand Canal Street and Clanwilliam Place meet. The stalls serve so many different cuisines that you won’t know which to eat first, from sushi to paella.
