We spent 3 nights in the hotel and ate breakfast here daily…read more We found it to be a good value, with a full breakfast on buffet. Though the real winner was their flaky and fresh croissants, of which I had too many. In addition, there were many bread choices, scones & other pastries. There was also a gluten-free section, with pre-packaged baked goods, such as muffins. Cereals, fruits, deli meats & cheeses were all offered alongside the buffet line. Traditional foods: scrambled eggs (note: very soft cooked), black & white pudding, sausage, ham, potatoes, tomatoes and shrooms. Definitely worth including with your stay! We did not make it in for any other meals, tho I'm also adding a review for the ground level restaurant, where we had dinner.

I'd give this place six stars if I could. Absolutely exceptional…read more A vegan food truck run by an Aussie down a back alley - nothing from that sentence would normally tally with Ireland. Vegan. Food Truck. Aussie. Situated somewhere out of the norm. But that's exactly what Veginity is - something really aside from the norm. Located in the industrial area behind Camden St, somewhere up and behind from the Shaw, you could be forgiven to think you're on the completely wrong track. Actually they have the truck set up inside a workshop shell, so when you reach the green steel industrial-feel doors, you get quite the surprise to see that there is in fact a 'proper' restaurant set up behind it. A rusted chandelier hangs over steel framed tables and chairs. Tables are set simply, and it all comes together to construct a beautifully unique setting. It's a sign of things to come, and the food arrives, presented as if we're sitting in a Michelin star restaurant. Exquisitely beautiful, delicate in appearance and flavour in a way that you would never in a million years expect to be served out of a food truck. The menu changes each week according to what Mark the chef gets from the market, and this I suspect will be another key factor in bringing people back time and time again. There were many highlights for me but to pick just one, it would have to be the desert. Wow. Vegan triple chocolate cake. 70% dark chocolate mousse, 85% chocolate ganache and an almond milk cream with subtle touches of coconut and strawberries on top. At the moment, the truck opens on Fridays and Saturdays only - follow their Facebook page for menus and any other events they're doing. Really looking forward to seeing how they progress.

Amazing vegetarian and vegan food in the heart of Dublin. It was always one of my favorite places…read morewhen I lived in Dublin, and each time I go back, I am always impressed as the menu constantly changes, and it is consistently the highest quality food. The recipes are so creative and full of flavor, and I got their cookbook too. I would love to eat like this every day if I could cook such delicious vegetarian food! Highly recommended, there are a lot of good restaurants in Dublin City, but this casual atmosphere and fantastic food is the perfect mix, and you feel that you're doing something healthy!!

Okay I have to be honest....I was pretty disappointed in this place in terms of the food…read more I am not a vegeterian or vegan at all, but I sometimes try these places if they have great reviews. And in US, I have never been really let down in terms of food quality. Most of the times they don't even taste vegan. But the green curry from Cornucopia was pretty bland....definitely the worst curry I have ever eaten in my life. And coconut curry is really hard to mess up, vegetarian or not. The brown rice came with some crunchy (from sitting too long). The salad bar was just okay as well. I am not sure how vegetarian/vegan meals are in Dublin, but this place is definitely not up to par in the states. That being said, I did like they had multi-level dining area and it was very comfortable being solo.

On our recent trip to Dublin, my partner and I were super excited to find that HappyFood was…read morelocated almost across the street from our hotel. Their food was fresh and delicious, and very reasonably priced. Tucked away down an alley (not completely unusual for Dublin), and sort of inside a yoga studio, HappyFood provides lunch during the day before the studio starts their classes. You order at the front counter and then they bring the food right to your table. The selection ranges from things like falafel wraps and burgers, to several fresh rice bowls. They mark everything on the menu very clearly with allergen symbols. What was a bit confusing to us, though, was actually how much non-veg options they normally have. We saw some notes about shellfish, but the days we were there, nothing on the menu appeared to be less the vegetarian. Nonetheless, the first time we went, I got the falafel wrap as a meal, meaning it came with a side of chips and a drink. The falafel itself was quite good, as well as all the trimmings inside. The second day, I opted for a bowl that had a delicious corn slaw and sweet potatoes (very delicious and hearty). Would recommend to anyone looking for a healthy-ish lunch, even if they're not exclusively vegetarian or vegan.

Wow. Really really loved this place…read more It's definitely a funny feeling sleuthing down a dodgy back alley looking for 'HappyFood'. Really like if you were to ask directions back there, on a rainy day, you'd probably look like you were tripping! It's such a great name though because the Yoga Hub is like a little happy place oasis back there. They've got a lovely little seating area out front, and the inside is all bright white and colours. With the food being located inside a yoga studio, it maybe isn't somewhere you'd totally hang around, although they have a lot of seating inside too if you wanted to, but I just got takeaway. It only took five mins to put together, and was wrapped up all nice for me in no time. 7 euro got me a vegan burger inside a wholemeal wrap with guacamole and a beetroot and red cabbage side salad. It was so filling, extremely tasty, and just felt full of goodness. I was delighted with myself afterwards so I was!

Look where we had lunch today! We had a fabulous meal at…read moreThe Happy Pear in Greystones, Co. Wicklow, Ireland. This will be the culinary highlight of our trip to Ireland. It is about 35 mins or so away from Dublin, so we stopped for lunch on our way down to Kilkenny. I ordered a Buddha Bowl, which gave me a little taste of just about everything (potatoes, brown rice, tofu curry, hummus, kale, Asian slaw, assorted sprouts, pickled red beets, kimchi). My husband ordered potatoes and Asian slaw (he's an omnivore, so he was less than thrilled to eat at a vegan restaurant; however, he was willing to do so because he loves me ). We split a piece of vegan carrot cake, which my husband said was really good. It was so very tasty; I completely cleaned my plate. I don't believe they used any oil, but there were nuts/seeds used in some of the items. If you ever get a chance to go to Ireland and you are anywhere close to The Happy Pear, it is definitely worth a detour.

Absolutely deliciously authentic! As someone who's extremely particular about traditional Easter…read moredishes and Mediterranean flavors, I was genuinely impressed. Every bite tasted like it came straight from a cherished family recipe. This cozy, family-run restaurant radiates warmth and hospitality from the moment you walk in -- you instantly feel like part of the family. The hummus and baba ghanoush are out of this world: creamy, fresh, and full of flavor. The shawarma was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the Lebanese potatoes were crisped to perfection with just the right touch of garlic and spice. We finished with strong, fragrant Lebanese coffee and flaky, melt-in-your-mouth baklava -- the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Every dish was clearly made with love and attention to detail. It's the kind of hidden gem you feel lucky to discover. Tucked away in Dublin, this place deserves far more attention. And as if the food weren't reason enough to fall in love, the lovely lady proprietor is warm, welcoming -- and a Metallica fan! Seriously, how cool is that? Highly, highly recommend!

My partner and I were recently in Dublin, and when we were planning ahead of time, I wasn't sure…read morehow many vegan options would be available. Fortunately, it turned out there was ample to choose from, including Sova Vegan Butcher (a quick walk from our hotel, near the Iveagh Gardens). Sova Vegan Butcher is a slightly higher dining experience than most of what you'll find in Dublin. This doesn't mean that you need to get too dressy, but rather that the presentation is a higher game (and dishes are a little higher in cost). We made reservations when we first arrived on recommendation from a couple sources we looked into. Our last day in Dublin, we headed to the restaurant and were seated on the second floor. Their space is about average size for Dublin, and they were busy but with pretty regular turn over in tables. Seeing a caesar salad was available, I of course had to try that as one of our shared dishes. We also got the soya schnitzels, and the split pea soup for a starter. The soup was good, but about your standard flavor profile. However, the caesar salad was excellent. It had a really large portion of avocado, tempeh rounds, and a good rendition on the dressing. The soya schnitzels were quite good as well. They were served with a duchess potato and delicious tartare sauce. While we were quite full from all of this, we decided to treat ourselves to dessert (it being our last night out in Dublin). That night, the dessert was a cheesecake with strawberries and blueberries, served in a cute mason jar. It wasn't the best cheesecake I've had, but I appreciated the presentation that went into it. Would definitely recommend Sova for someone traveling through Dublin, especially if you're getting tired of some of the standard (burger-type) vegan fare you'll often find elsewhere.

Fave place for coffee or lunch in Drogheda (4/5 green stars)…read moreThere are a few good places to eat or have coffee in Drogheda these days (such as Salthouse, down on the Quay) but Relish has been my favorite for a few years. They make nice flat whites, their scones are great, and every lunch dish we've had here has been good too. I also like the feeling of the place - it's situated in the old Franciscan friary, next to the Highlanes gallery (free entry) that occupies the church. Apparently the Franciscan monks had been in Drogheda for 760 years before they left in 2000 and donated the church and friary to the town. Relish café has lots of light and staff members are always friendly. I'm also giving them 4/5 "green stars" for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons: * They have a reasonable number of vegetarian/vegan items on the menu but could do with a few more. * For meat-eaters, all of the meat is Irish. * They use free-range eggs. * They say that they use "fresh and seasonal ingredients from local suppliers" but could be a bit more forthcoming with details. I wrote to them for more info but didn't hear back. * For a few items they do name their sources. For example, Hegarty's cheddar, which is made in Cork using milk from their own small farm and vegetarian rennet. That's about all I have - I'll try and pay more attention next time and pick up more info : ) Interested in writing green star reviews? If so, contact me!
