We were here for 5 days visiting my sister. We ate her almost 3 times. Every month being away is hard. Who said Ireland has bad food? I found they had amazing food and this was one of the locations. You cannot go wrong with this place. We picked out the premade personal pies. Had them warmed up. When asked if we wanted Gravy, we looked at each other and immediately said yes. Good filling, comfort food for an amazing price. We would eat PieMan every day if we had the option. We miss it. read more

A great option for a small meal. I had the chicken and mushroom pie. I asked for gravy but kind of wished I asked for it on the side. Everything was delicious but the highlight is that it's an affordable option. Great for students with Trinity college being close by and for tourists and locals. read more

Absolutely wonderful! Got the Guiness pie with brown gravy and the Chicken Leek pie with the vegan gravy. OMG can you say yummo!!!! A pie, side and drink is €10. Absolutely worth every penny. And then the dessert was just a nice finishing touch. The nice lady working was a gem. So kind and friendly. Run, don't walk here. Lunch time is super busy but other times are easy to grab a table, chill amd watch the crowds. The restaurant is off a square down an alley but you can find it easily. read more

I loved the pie I had here it was wholesome and warm stuffed with turkey potatoes and stuffing with a little side of cranberry sauce. Very affordable (5€) For a student) and perfect portion for one person. read more

Fantastic place for a hearty, quick and delicious bite. 10 Euro for a great quality pie, a side and a craft beer is ridiculous. We had the Beef and Guinness, as well as the Chicken and Stuffing pie - both with gravy, both with mushy peas. Excellent fillings, great crust and tasty gravy. It was perfect for a late afternoon snack. I should note that the owner is a great guy. Very welcoming, good sense of humor, likes to engage you without overwhelming you. It was cold and rainy and he offered us a free cup of tea or coffee before heading out, which we politely declined. If I lived in Dublin, I'd be visiting often. I highly recommend skipping 95% of the junk in Temple Bar and head right over here for a great meal. read more

If I keep eating food like this, I'm going to need to head over to Tesco and buy bigger pants. The Pieman Cafe serves up handmade meat pies that will leave your belly happy and a bit wider. Each pie is €6.50 (cash only). The pies seemed a little small but were dense and filling. The wife and I ordered three pies to share: Beef and Guinness, Chicken and Mushroom, and Chilli Beef and Chorizo. Each one was tasty and we liked the complementary flavor profiles of each pie, but the sauce drizzled liberally on top was a bit overpowering. The pies came out piping hot from the oven, but they may have been left in there too long, as the crust and filling of each pie tasted a little overcooked. The chicken pie in particular was slightly but noticeably dry. Service was friendly, and there was free WiFi for customers. Had the pies not been overcooked, this would've been a more memorable experience! read more

This place was absolutely amazing- the food was spectacular and we can't wait to return

Oh gosh! Pieman Cafe, you own my stomach. It's been a loooong lonely time since I last had Pies that tasted so good!!! I especially love and am super grateful for the under €10 deal, which got me a substantial pie, a side and a drink! Well priced and good food in the bargain! Plus if you are a student, and show them ID, that same deal cost you €6! The pies can be warmed up to eaten in-store or u can take them frozen to warm up later. I came here 3 times and each time, the staff were super lovely. I also liked the collaboration as the artwork on their walls came from the Jam Art Factory store next-door. I tried the following pies: 1. Chicken & Mushroom - deliciousness! Loved the sauce. Perfect amount of protein to the mushrooms. Tasted earthy, due to the mushrooms 2. Chicken, leeks, & cheese - brilliant! Lots of veggies along with the chicken and the cheese sauce definitely made a difference in taste from their other chicken option. 3. Chicken & sausage - this was good taste, but the sausage was definitely overwhelming the chicken. No veggies in this one. 4. Sweet potatoes & feta - great blend of the main ingredients meant that the sweet and salt elements were perfectly balanced. Liked this very much. Btw, recommend getting the vegetarian gravy for the pies on the side. It tastes deliciously cheesy and tangy and comes in this cute little dish. For the sides, I tried: 1. Dill potato salad - was okay. Wouldn't get this again. The dressing used wasn't too my taste. Felt the flavor was missing something (maybe a pinch of saltiness?) 2. Purple slaw - one of my faves! And I'm not normally a slaw person, but this had purple cabbage, red onion, parsley and shredded carrot in a great light mayo. 3. Lentil pastry - decent, but felt like was eating a stuffed dal paratha which is too much like an Indian dish. Not too my taste. 4. Carrot & Coconut soup - had to pay €5 for this, but it's substantial size and another of my faves! If you get this, just order one of the smaller pastry items rather than a pie, as it gets to be too much food. The soup tasted wonderfully hearty, with just a pinch of curry by beautiful coconut and veggie flavors (the carrot taste which can get too sweet, was not very obvious, actually) and would absolutely get this dish again. Thru also serve pretty decent coffee. Also, the etiquette for this shop is to make your selection, pay and then they"ll bring the old out to you. Am a totally fan of this place and would recommend visitors to the Temple Bar area to absolutely come and get a pie from here! Yelp 96/ 2018 read more

Strolling around Temple Bar alone, I wanted a hearty Irish meal to make up for all the calories I'd burned walking around Dublin. I found Pieman. It was tiny, and it looked cute. They had different pies and mashed potatoes or mushy peas. I opted for the Steak and Guinness pie with mashed potatoes and gravy. I couldn't even finish it, and it was a little heavy handed on the gravy, but it was one of my most memorable meals in Dublin. read more

€10 for a pie, side and craft beer - proper deal innit! Loved the beef and Guinness pie + roasties all soaking up the delicious gravy. Paired with 8 Degrees Howling Gale, perfect cheap meal out in Temple Bar! Mikey was not as impressed with the chorizo and chilli beef pie as it was quite dry, so choose your pie wisely! Oh and they serve it on hot plates now too (probably after Cristin's review!), so your food stays warm for the entire meal :-) read more

We got the pork/apple/dijon pie with mash and gravy on the side. Yum! If you order something that's not under the heat lamp you'll have to wait 15 minutes or so. The person behind the counter was really helpful though and gave us updates '5 more minutes! almost done!' so it wasn't too bad. They have a bunch of other options which I definitely want to come back and try. Beef and Guinness? Yes please! read more

If there was a picture in the dictionary beside the phrase 'Comfort Food' it would be of a pie and mash, I'm sure of it! The Pieman Cafe is located in Temple Bar, right across from Burdock's. It's a small cafe, so wouldn't hold a lot of people but I've never seen it overly packed! It opens until 10pm most nights too...perfect if you're looking for some good, casual dining without having to worry about reservations or time constraints. I had the Beef and Guinness pie with mash and gravy and it was really nice. We were in there quite late in the evening so the pastry was slightly overdone but it still tasted really good. They also have a nice little selection of craft beers, perfect with a pie! And the price? Pie, side and beer for €10.50, seriously good value. Let's be honest, who doesn't love a good pie? read more

The Pieman Cafe - Beef and Guinness! - Cafes Near Me - Dublin, D

I was in the mood for some hearty, comfort food and I figured a good aul fashioned PIE would hit the spot. Well this definitely hit the spot! They had about 5 or 6 different flavours to choose from when I was in. I originally went for a chilli and chorizo pie purely because it seemed like something different. The person ahead of me had just bought the last one, but not to worry, I went with my second pick of Beef and Guinness pie and boy, am I glad I did. The crust was buttery, crumbly but not too dry. The Guinness sauce had a lovely richness to it and the beef simply melted in my mouth. I am going to nitpick slightly though and say I would have liked maybe a little more beef in the pie. I have a pretty big appetite, so I couldn't imagine it keep me full for long. For only €6 though it was worth it for the flavour alone. All in all, it served me well as a tasty little supper (I accompanied it with Burdocks chips!). If you're looking for tasty, homemade comfort food, I'd imagine The Pieman Cafe is the place to go. You'll get a yummy little pie, mashed potato or mushy peas, all covered in gravy and with a drink to boot for around a tenner. You really can't go wrong here! read more

Delicious... for my first meal in Dublin, I was seeking traditional Irish fare and this looked good. Let me tell you, it didn't disappoint. The pie (I had chicken leek and cheddar) was the perfect size. My friend had the chicken and mushroom which I liked even better. The combo includes a pie, side (we did one mashed potato, one mushy peas) and either a soda or beer. Service was friendly, food came quickly and was tasty--definitely worth a stop! read more

In a city full of relatively expensive meals, the Pieman is a welcome budget option. We spent the day roaming around Dublin and really didn't feel like a heavy pub dinner. This place is right in Temple Bar but offers a much lighter, simpler option. Quite a few pies to choose from, add a side and a drink and you have a meal for around 10 euro. Food was tasty though I won't say amazing. Still, we appreciated this option for dinner very much. read more

The Pieman is a great little place in the heart of Temple Bar, without the extortionate prices.. For €8.50 you get a pie of your choice (I had the Venison), a side, gravy and a soft drink. What a great deal!!! The pies are really lovely and the mash (I didn't have the peas) was scooped out perfectly-both drizzled with some lovely hot gravy. Yes, the ideal meal for a chilly March afternoon. read more

We stopped by here on our first day of vacation because it also happened to be 3/14 (Pi Day). For our very first meal in Ireland, this was a great way to start. The sweet potato and feta pie with their vegetarian gravy was nothing short of heavenly. My love had one the roast chicken options with meat gravy, which was also just incredible. Do yourself a favor and grab a lunch here! Leslie, thank you again for your hospitality. read more

The Pieman Cafe is a fancier version of Hanley's cornish pasties. I love pastries filled with savory stuffing. I was walking back to my hotel when I stumbled across this place. I ordered a pie here for take away and the lady behind the counter was really nice. She asked if I wanted gravy on my pie (yes please!!!!). When I went back to my hotel to reheat the pie it tasted so good, especially with that gravy. I think the price was 6.95 or 7.95 euro. They don't take credit cards here so many sure to bring euro. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Great place for a quick, filling eat in central Dublin. Easily accessible by foot. Simple homemade comfort food. I visited Dublin and ate at several high quality restaurants. Yet, one of my favorite meals was this simple pie from the Pieman cafe. They do one thing and do it well. Side of mushed peas and fries compliment the savory pies, also. Also, the staff is friendly and helpful. They're happy to accommodate any specific requests (i.e. gravy on the side). Another example of their friendliness- as a hole-in-the-wall, they don't have receipts. However, they were willing to write one up for me (so I could expense meal later). For seating, there are a few tables inside. Usually this places is a quick bite or takeout. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my pie at The Pieman Cafe. I ordered the chicken and sausage pie which was quite delicious and had lots of flavour and a great flaky crust - no complaints from me! My friend had the Guinness beef pie and said it was just ok, it lacked the flavours that the chicken on had and almost felt pre-made or bought from a grocery store. For €6.50 you really can't go wrong with one of these pies as a nice lunchtime meal. They are cash only, so make sure to come prepared. Would recommend giving The Pieman Cafe a visit! read more

The crust was thick, crunchy, and flaky which is great, The filling was nice and hot. Just wish there was more than one piece of meat in beef and guinness pie. Although I notice when order beef pies around here, it is only one or two pieces of meat in them, unless you order chicken. The server was very helpful and friendly though and warmed up pie and made sure you were tended to very nicley. read more

I love pie. Like all kinds of pie, sweet, meat, everything. So of course while staying in Dublin I had to eat at The Pieman. I loved it and want my very own Pieman next door to my house so I can eat there every day. The restaurant is small and cute and right near all the happenings of The Temple Bar area. The man working was nice and our selections were ready for us quickly. They had a handful of pies available and the two we chose were delicious. The mashed pees were also amazing and the gravy thick and tasty. The prices were excellent and the portions were huge. You don't expect to be full from the pies since they appear to be regular size and not large but that was not the case. Totally filled us up. I would have eaten here again if we stayed in the area longer. read more

Highly recommend! read more

Three times over the course of three days. Is that wrong? Or so wrong that it's right? My favourites: - Chicken, mushroom and Jameson (can't beat a drop of the aul sweet stuff!) - Thai chicken curry - Beef & Guinness When eaten with some lovely mash potato and mushy peas, they tend to fill you with a sense of well being and goodness, and a nice full-but-not-too-stuffedness. They also sell 8 Degrees beer to continue with the yumtasticness. *Disclaimer: The 3 in 3 days was over a festival weekend - so that's ok, right?!! ;-) read more

Great steak and Guinness pie topped with gravy and a side of potato salad with mint. Nice flavor and best was the thin golden crust!

the pieman cafe is an absolute jem! as far as I know its the first of its kind in Dublin. its a small enough cafe but there's still plenty of seating inside. its bright and airy and spotlessly clean. and what I've had of the menu so far has been delicious! I'm lactose intolerant and both times I've been in here the staff and have been nice, helpful and friendly and had no problem telling me what food on the menu I could or couldn't eat. I was on my own the first time and had beef and Guinness pie with gravy and honey roasted veg. all of it was yummy but the pie especially, with moist and tender beef that melted in my mouth. the staff chatted with me and were very friendly. the second time I went with about 14 others. considering how many of us there was there wasn't that long of a wait for our food andmost of it arrived about the same time so we all ate together and the only complaint was that the chicken pie and was a bit dry (I tasted it and thought the same). on this occasion I got the steak and mushroom and devoured it! this is the kind of food that fills you up but doesn't make your feel uncomfortable. the food is so well put together, well thought outand soperfectly cooked that you really feel like you have doneyour body good by eating it! all that for less then a tenner! they also have plenty of options for vegetarians, have a loyalty card, do take awayand serve craft beers. fantastic. this will now happily be a regular haunt of mine. read more

If you've walked around Temple Bar recently you may have noticed a quaint little pie shop. Although surrounded by bigger restaurants and pubs this place always seems packed with customers. It's as simple as it seems - you pick a pie and you eat it. You don't get any of that fancy starter, main, dessert malarkey (although they do have sides...). The pies themselves are quite nice from my experience thankfully. If you're looking for a place for a quick and cheap bite to eat in Temple Bar then this is probably the place for you. read more

After a hard day of being a tourist the wife and I thought this sounded a good place. Stopped in and what can I say, fresh really well made pies, with a good beer. Top. The staff and owner were really friendly and helpful. And most surprisingly of all, considering it in the middle of tourist central, it is very reasonably priced. The only thing that would have made this place better is if they had a screen to watch the Andy Murray match, instead the owner checked which of the local pubs were showing it, so we knew where to go. Thanks guys great place read more

This place is amazing. Really small but their pies are fantastic. Plenty of choices for pie and you can add a side of mashed potatoes or mushy peas. Wish I lived closer so I could eat here more often! Cash only. read more
