I would describe it like the Bloomingdales or Saks 5th Avenue or Ireland. There's not a lot of options for individual luxury stores in the city so this place is a one-stop shop. Selections might be more limited because each store is smaller, but rest assured they have all the popular items. Tax-Free Shopping: For tourists (non-EU/GB residents), the tax-free shopping option is a huge plus. When you purchase your item, let them know you're interested in doing the tax-free rebate. You should bring your passport but the person who helped me said a photo was fine. They'll print out a receipt for you to submit to Planet at the airport. The minimum purchase is 75 euros to qualify. If the purchase amount of your goods is below 2,000 euros, you don't need to get a customs stamp at the airport. Just return your completed form at Planet desk after security or deposit it in the Planet drop box and they'll do it on your behalf. Considering the VAT is 23%, this is a great value for all you visiting shoppers. Don't forget to stop by this place and check it out before you leave town!

Its most-unique greenhouse architecture allows so much natural light to come through the glass roof. I absolutely loved the look of it. We took a stroll through all three floors. Having never been to the country, I was unfamiliar with most of the shops, but I took note of the few I recognized (Boots, TK Maxx, Claire's.) We were momentarily tempted to try the Chinese restaurant upstairs but thought better of it. Restrooms are also located on the uppermost level. Not super bustling, seemed to be going the way of most malls. And although I wasn't taken by any store in particular, I enjoyed the structure's design & seeing what a Dublin shopping centre has to offer.

We visited this department store a few days over the course of our trip. I wasn't sure at first what I was planning to buy but I kept eyeing one of the Louis Vuitton perfumes that I had previously discovered on a trip to Maui. Their perfumes are definitely on the pricey side but the nice thing is they're small enough for carry on liquid limits, they have a magnetic lid, and they're refillable - and the refills are also cheaper than the initial bottle purchase. The amount of times I sprayed that perfume on myself over my Maui and Dublin trips, I was sold - so that was my first add to cart moment. Next, was a belt. I thought I wanted a Gucci Marmot belt but my cousin convinced me to check out the Celine department - instead I went with a Triomphe belt. It's such a classic and timeless design so it was the right choice. And finally - the ultimate big purchase was in the Chanel department. For a long time I have been eyeing the goatskin grosgrain cap toe slingback heels. I have tried them on in NYC before but hadn't gone through with a purchase - until this trip; it was finally time! Also to add, every single sales person that we interacted with was incredibly nice. Elsewhere, designer stores don't always have the best customer service; however, I felt nothing but kindness when I was mulling over my big purchases - which to me were really big. And they were kind enough to combine them into one receipt so I could get the best VAT refund as well so extra thanks to each of the sales persons who helped me. The VAT refund process was super easy too - I just dropped off the completed form with receipt information at the airport and after a few weeks received the credit on my cad.

Now, I'm not going to gripe about the homewares, grocery or clothing sections of Dunnes Stores in…read morethe Stephen's Green Shopping Centre. Dunnes' clothes have come along in leaps and bounds over the last few years, I have never experienced any issues with their fresh produce and as to homewares... well, I've never actually had to furnish anywhere before, but I imagine that Dunnes Stores range of soft furnishings are very good at best, and perfectly adequate at worst. This review concerns none of the above. What this very negative review concerns itself with is the hot deli counter in the Dunnes in Stephen's Green. Dunnes normally do a very good deli counter; the one in George's St is extremely nice. However, my experience at the counter in question left a lot to be desired. The hot counter in this particular Dunnes is often running out of stuff, and while this might be expected occasionally, particularly at 2 or 3 o'clock, it is a minor inconvenience at best. What I am about to recount, however, is a heresy in the art of sandwich making, and should shock you to your very core. I approached the counter and asked for a chicken fillet roll. No problems there. Did they get the ratios wrong, you ask, too much mayonnaise or not enough lettuce? No, I could live with that. When asked what I wanted on my roll, I replied lettuce, tomato and grated cheese. To which I received the reply that they didn't do cheese with chicken fillet rolls. I assumed that there was some token additional charge for this extra filling, as cheese is not one of the staple chicken fillet roll fillings (tomato and lettuce for those of you who are interested); vexatious, but not the end of the world. I hazarded this assumption on my part, only to be told that no, it wasn't a financial thing, they just didn't put cheese on chicken fillet rolls. Full stop. When I asked about this bizarre state of affairs, I was told it was a health and safety thing. Now, I appreciate that this poor girl was only doing her job, and I assure you that I didn't take it out on her, but it is a sad state of affairs when a man can't walk into a shop in this great nation of ours and get cheese on his chicken fillet roll. Is what we've come to? Is this what the men of '98 and '16 died for? I ask this as I have been served cheese on chicken fillet rolls the length and breadth of Dublin, and if Dunnes wanted to institute some sort of cheese legal waiver, I would gladly sign. Needless to say, I shall not be giving the deli counter of Dunnes Stores, Stephen's Green my custom in the future.

Let's just say her clothes are a bit dowdy and dated and she dresses about 20 years older than she is. That said. I was passing Boyer's the other day and decided to have a look around myself. I suppose if you're looking to take your Gran shopping this might be the kind of shop she'd love, but alas as a young 20-something there wasn't much for me to buy!

Would be woth checking out if you are in the market for a well-tailored suit that isn't super expensive but that you're willing to drop a bit of dough on. They also have a great shoe department, which is probably where I would spend my money if I were to do so in here.

I think a lot of their selection is very cute and wearable, and it doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart at any second. I do think that the women's and kid's selections are better and broader than the men's, but guys are less choosy anyway, right? Their shoes are also pretty darn cute, but I find that overall they're really uncomfy. Don't overlook the lingerie section either. The bras are relatively sturdy and some are really pretty. They also usually have some great sales, I found a bra and undies set for 4 euros! The best thing about Dunnes though is definitely the home section. Dunnes is THE best location to find budget home décor items that are stylish and high-quality. Their selection of throw pillows is especially impressive. But this is also a must-go if you're on the market for dishes, pots and pans and other kitchenware. They're the cheapest I've seen in the city, even more so than Euro 2 and other junk shops.

Dunnes looked like a great place so we went there first. This store reminds me of what our department stores used to be like in Toronto (Canada). Clothes looked reasonable for Dublin prices. The only thing I bought was an exfoliating mitt as I didn't need anything else. There were no souvenir shirts here. I looked at the women's shoes but they looked too uncomfortable for walking about in the countryside of Ireland. There is a hair salon located on the same floor as women's shoes. Small place but it looked quite busy. As others mentioned the top floor is a restaurant and also where the bathrooms are located. The food selection looks good for a department store but we didn't eat here. There is only one lift (elevator) for the store. But there are escalators as well. Looked like there was a cash register on every floor. In the same shopping center Dunnes has a separate supermarket and there is a small cafe there with seating. Note to North Americans there is no mall seating unless you go to a place where there is food. This is common in Ireland. Coming from Canada I found it unusual. Our shopping malls have lots of courtesy seating everywhere. But it makes sense. It takes some money to maintain seating as it has to be cleaned and repaired if there is any damage to it. Though no courtesy seating s can be hard on those with mobility issues such as people who walk with a cane or get tired easily.
