The shop itself is very 'well-manicured', according to one of my friends. And that it is. It is your perfect greengrocer, and it's a bit of a pity it's housed inside the ugly Dun Laoghaire Shopping Centre. It would be much better situated out on the main street, and would probably do better business that way too... Evergreens offers the usual in the way of fruit and veg, apart from some very large mushrooms which aren't the norm (I'm sure they're ok to eat though!) There are also some gourmet goodies available near the counter, including roasted peppers, cute basil breadstick snacks and award winning baileys and white chocolate fudge. Head on over to Jack for some fresh, not-too-shabbily priced veges and a good ol' yarn.

This place is everything a market should be! An impressive selection of fresh and organic produce,…read moretons of fruit and veg, even some more obscure things. There is a big selection of potted flowers, herbs and other plants. Italian pesto and other sauces, fresh fish and pork. Coffee and juice, crepes, organic cleaning products etc. The highlight here for me is the pastry and the pies! The pie man has a booth here and they truly are the best pies I've ever had, nice selection of chicken, beef, veg, so much flavor. Big pie that is enough to fill you up, just 5€ (heated up for 6€) The pastry is also fab, lots of tarts, Danish, croissants, cookies, brownies, bread and more. All of which are delicious. Big enclosed venue (next to Teeling), so it's weather proof, and you can even bring your dog inside! Lots of friendly vendors and delicious food and drink. So lucky to have this place so close to home, it's now our Saturday tradition to get coffee and pastry, and pies to take home. There's a seating area if you want to eat in, too. Definitely worth stopping by, it's quite a market!

A great locally owned business that wins people…read moreover with not only the finest range of products and great knowledge of seafood but there customer service. Shopping here is always a pleasure. I really love the variety on the fish counter, has a person not so up on handling or prepping from scratch, I love how they have cuts available with all the messy stuff already done for you or in fact, fish all prepped and ready to cook having already been seasoned and marinated... Nothing to think about just straight into the pan or the oven. They often have great offers on and are only happy to share some cooking tips or tricks. Aside from the fish, they stock a host of other organic and free range produce, as well as locally sourced products - guilt free buying :-) They have a great cheese counter too.Great addition is the coffee machine, they are now serving badger & dodo bean coffee. Ok, so sometimes the coffee is not spot on but when it comes to Dalkey, this is definitely the best place to grab a coffee on the go. Also sampled their hot chocolate, yum yum!

I stumbled across this place yesterday and I love it! A fairly good selection of fresh fruit &…read morevegetables - and plenty of quite posh pantry staples that you would otherwise have to travel into town for. For example, I picked up organic polenta for a batch of cornbread I'm hoping to make today, and I spotted a box of turmeric root... I didn't even know you could buy such a thing. And there was a selection of Sheridan's cheeses In the fridge. That all makes it sound very 'foodie' - but it's great to find a place where you can buy a nice hostess gift locally!

One of the reasons it was a happy shop was because it was like a family run thing (only we didn't fight!). The staff all got along and the daily visits from our suppliers was a welcome distraction from the work at hand, one of our suppliers was Get Fresh from DeansGrange. They must have been good, in the 7 years we never even thought of getting our fresh veg from anyone else and as a waiter I never got a complaint from a customer - a small miracle in itself. The shop in Deans Grange is basically like a big open garrage with a few stalls and tables set up in it, everything is well laid out and accessable - making it easy to shop, sensible really, not every shop does this! Brian behind the counter is friendly and helpful, it is always a nice place to go and get the spuds and stuff!

They close at 6 so the after work shoppers like myslef dont have an opportunity or maybe its just that the selection isnt big enough and I tend to go to Supervalu instead. Only 3 stars im afraid but if they opened later I would reconsider!

I vacation in Ireland every summer, staying in the next village over from Dun Laoghaire, Sandycove…read more(where Joyce Tower of Ulysses fame is located), and at least one visit to this Sunday market is always a must. A lovely setting, in The People's Park, near the waterfront of Dun Laoghaire. I do have to say, I think it was better years ago when there were more produce vendors and it was more of a farmers market. Now it is 90% prepared food stalls, a few artists, and only a couple of produce vendors. But the food is good and varied, with many ethnic goodies to try. There is an excellent cheese vendor (Irish cheeses are amazing!), a wood-fired Neopolitan pizza, and you are pretty close to the famous Teddy's of Dun Laoghaire ice cream shop to get your "99" fix. AH, MEMORIES: I remember one farmer was selling wine he made from his own grapes. Yes, Irish wine!!! Admittedly, the Sauvignon Blanc tasted like grape juice, but I still have the empty bottle with a lovely hand-colored label. My Mom had her first ever raw oyster (from Galway) here. I almost had to force it down her throat, but she loved it. The vendor no longer comes here, but every year when I visit her in Ireland we have to go out for some great Irish oysters. But she still eats only one!

An absolutely adorable outdoor food market that I would recommend any/every visitor to the lovely Dun Laoghaire. On my visit in early August, the weather was bright and gorgeous. Altogether, the adorable dogs and babies abound, the smell of food swirling, the bustle of cheery people was incredible. There is no shortage of a variety of different foods (barbecue, sausages, falafels, Korean noodles, Japanese, hamburgers, Thai, coffees) for you to choose from. You can eat, take a stroll, or people watch. My visit was amazing and I would definitely recommend to other visitors and would like to make a trip out there again in the future should I ever find myself in Dublin again :)
