Hi,

Could anyone recommend somewhere to eat in the O'Connell street area before a big GAA match.....around 12 - 1pm on a Sunday. Most of the places I have been before just serve up total slop.........dont mind paying decent money if i feel i am getting some value.

If anyone could recommend somewhere on O'Connell street / just off it would really appreciate it. (No fast foods please - family not into that kind of food!!).

Cheers,
WB
 
Elephant and Castle just across the river in Temple Bar is great for the family before a match
 
Grand Central on the corner of O'Connell St. and Abbey St. do good food. The restaurant is separate from the bar area.

Rayhoon on Talbot St. is a favourite of mine-not sure about opening hours on Sunday.

The Italian Connection across the road also has a decent reputation.

The Gin Palace (on Abbey St-opposite the back entrance to Arnotts also has nice food).

This thread may also be of interest, although many of the places mentioned are more for evening dining.

I think the Ivy House (across the road from the Skylon in Drumcondra) would also be a good option for a family.

There ain't many non fast food options on O'Connell St. itself.
 
North Star Amien Street Is Great Value 12.95 Soup And Main Course And U Get A Waitress Thrown In Lol
 
Have to second the North Star. Used to go to the Ripley Court before all the Dubs matches, but that's gone downhill at a rapid rate of knots. Now the group of us hit the North Star, which everyone is happy with, young and old
 
Thanks for all the help......we ate in the North Star and although the food isnt the fanciest it does set you up for the day. The location is convienent for Croker also.

Unfortunately the result wasnt quite as satisfactory...............
 
Romano's in Capel Street a bit further west down the Liffey - €9.95 lunch special of starter, main (pasta or pizza) and tea/coffee, Monday-Saturday, 12:00-15:00.
 
The Gresham - Toddy's Bar for carvery-style menu, or very good sambos in the lobby. However, the coffee is one of the most expensive in Dublin - €4.50 for a cafetiere for one. (They do put heaps of coffee granules into it, so what with the palpitations you get for hours after, arguably you are getting value for money). I would not recommend The Royal Dublin for food or service.

The cafe in the newly-refurbished Hugh Lane Gallery (Parnell Square North) is very good. Salads, quiches, home-made soups and the like. You'd be a short walk then across to Mountjoy Square and up to Jones's Road.
 
The café in the Writer's Museaum used to be cheap and cheerful but I haven't been there in years now.
 
Have never heard anyone give Talbot 101 on Talbot St a bad review. Not sure if it is open Sundays for lunch though
