Veganism is truly becoming more and more common with us DublinTown folk as time passes on. Whether people are trying it out as part of #Veganuary, going Vegan cold turkey (excuse the pun…) or even simply putting effort into substituting plant based products for dairy ones, we’re seeing Veganism promoted everywhere these days.
Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.
It requires conscious living and a little more effort put into what you consume and purchase, but it’s keeping the environment and the planet in mind, and we can’t argue with that.
Here are some of the amazing cafés and restaurants in #DublinTown where you can find some stellar Vegan dishes.
83 Middle Abbey Street, Dublin 1 and 4 Aungier Street, Dublin 2.
The famous, popular Vegetarian restaurant has two central locations in the city. Everything they serve is strictly Vegetarian and quite often, most of their hearty and filling salads are Vegan. They have somewhat of a cult customer basis with people coming in time and time again for their extremely reasonably priced and delicious food.
Cornucopia
19/20 Wicklow Street, Dublin 2
Striving to be an ethical business, including being conscious of their impact on the environment is Vegetarian Restaurant Cornucopia. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, Cornucopia is the most wonderful place for whatever time of day hunger strikes you.
Blazing Salads
42 Drury Street, Dublin 2
This independent, family run deli specialising in vegetarian and wholefood dishes. They offer a wide range of soups, salads, cakes and savouries (including vegan pasties – yuum). Their super fresh vegan salad bar has a variety of flavours and textures. They use only fresh & cooked vegetables, legumes, grains and pasta.
153 Capel St, Dublin 1
One of Dublin’s most interesting and innovative dining destinations, Brother Hubbard is open for breakfast, brunch (7 days a week!) lunch and dinner. They are proudly listed as one of the ‘Top 100 Places to Eat in Ireland’ by McKenna’s Guide’ for the past several years running. They have a huge selection of large plates, small plates and treats that are all vegan friendly.
Sprout & Co.
19 Exchequer Street, Dublin 2
Sourcing locally has never been simply a slogan for Sprout, it’s fundamental to how they think about food. For them, it makes so much more sense to eat something grown just down the road. For a start, it’s fresher, and fresher means better tasting. The beauty of Sprout is you’re invited to hand pick each ingredient from their vast selection of items, making your bespoke salad from scratch to serving.
Wagamama
4B, Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre, King St S, Dublin 2
A restaurant known for introducing a full vegan menu offers a wide variety of vegan sides and mains, making it a great option for delicious vegan food.
