Glas

Chatham Street, Dublin 2

This completely vegetarian restaurant opened on Chatham Street late last year and has been wowing visitors ever since. While it does offer some dishes that contain dairy or egg, the majority of options are actually vegan or can be made vegan, so you'll definitely have plenty of options. We love the sound of the king oyster mushroom 'scallops' – something similar recently featured at the Golden Globes – as well as the restaurant's recently introduced brunch.

Assassination Custard

Kevin Street Upper, Dublin 8

Assassination Custard is one of the most creative restaurants in Dublin right now. Absolutely tiny and only open during the daytime, we awarded this spot the title of Best Casual Dining at the 2019 FOOD AND WINE Awards and now we can confirm that it is one of the best places to eat if you're a vegan in Dublin. The menu is very seasonal, but is always jam-packed with local veggies and innovative flavours. 

Beast Eatery

Victoria Quay, Dublin 8 

This 100 per cent vegan restaurant is owned by Moodley Manor, the company behind the vegan wings that you see everywhere these days. If you find yourself craving junk food from your previous life, like chicken burgers or loaded fries, then Beast Eatery is here to help you out. We've heard great things about the #VFC (vegan fried chick-hun), which regularly sells out. 

Veginity 

Dorset Street Upper, Dublin 1

Veginity is a fine dining-style vegan restaurant known for its incredible flavours. Menus include all-day breakfast, an Italian-inspired dinner offering and pastries that would convince you they're full of butter if you didn't know any better, so you can satisfy your need for a decent croissant here.

Cornucopia 

Wicklow Street, Dublin 2

Would any list about vegan food in Dublin be complete without Cornucopia being mentioned? This Wicklow Street vegetarian café is well-known for its food, a lot of which is vegan too. Serving up exciting hot and cold plant-based dishes daily, Cornucopia is a must-visit for vegans in Dublin. If you get one thing from Cornucopia, make sure it’s a slice of cheesecake – totally vegan and delicious with regularly changing flavours.
