Vegetarians of Dublin (1 Viewer)

[seanface]

I am seeking to impress a lady friend with my vast knowledge of Dublin eateries when I'm over in a few weeks. Trouble is I do not have a vast knowledge of Dublin eateries. Driving burgers/kebabs in bobos/zaytoons into me is off the cards as the lady is a vegetarian. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Tricky ....

Juice on Georges Street is an actual veggie restaurant that I think is pretty good. Not really expensive and it's open all day so it's good for lunch of brunch (huevos rancheros!) as well. I'm not a veggie and even I like eating there ...

Cafe Bar Deli used to be a pretty good one. Lots of veggie pizzas, pastas and salads but someone I know got food poisoning there last week so avoid like the plague. Wagamama also used to be a favourite with me but they seem to have perfected some process over the last two years or so whereby all the flavour is automatically extracted from the food.

I'm sure someone will suggest Govinda's but to me they also have the same flavour extraction technique perfected.

Epicurean Food Hall on Abbey Street is good for a quick lunch. The Mexican stall does great meat-based and veggie enchiladadas, burritos etc etc. There are some other good ones there too. It's kind of like "quality" fast food with plenty of veggie options ....

you can get a decent veggie kebab in zaytoons.

cornucopia is a pretty good veg restaurant but probably won't supply the ambiance you'll need.

i'd go for somewhere like yamamori, slightly classy and lots of really good veg options to choose from, while still allowing you to tuck into a load of fish in front of her.

cheers bosses!

I'll probably sneak off at some stage and inhale a burger into me to satisfy the meaty want

don't pretend you're veggie though, 'cos she mightn't be that impressed She'll be more impressed if you show you made an effort and will eat veggie food with her.

 

[seanface]

to be honest I don't think I'd ever pass for a veggie, web of lies or not. I'm a big lad like

 

[sweetoblivion]

tell her you only eat big vegetables

 

[therealjohnny]

Pretend you are a veggie too but make lewd, suggestive references to oral sex throughout the course of the meal

Bring her for brunch to Odessa, french toast, or buritto thing very nice (unless she is health conscious) yummy, book seats for downstairs cause they got nice cosy armchairs.. pretty reasonable as well.

wear this cabbage hat and casually munch bits off as you meet her:

I've got into the habit of having lunch in this place of late and it's lovely. As a meat lover this is probably the only veggie restraunt I enjoyed and that's including Govindas.

You wanna bury the carrot in her cabbage patch?

No, don't - I'm a veggie and they once served me seafood tempura when I'd ordered veg, which I then bit into.... bleaughhhhhhhh! The waitress was really unapologetic when I complained.

Fresh in the Powerscourt Tonwhouse Centre does great veggie food including vegan cakes (mmmmmm, vegan caaaaaakes.....) but it's more of a cafe than a restaurant. Saba is good for veggies and meat eaters.

There's a new Yamamori on the Quays (Bachelors Walk I think) which is much better than the George's Street one. I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole ...

the portions in yamamori are always humungous and I always feel like a bullimic after a visit there. which puts me off, a tad.

Indian restaurants. Madina on Mary Street near Capel St is very reasonably priced and has the best list of veggie dishes.

 

[seanface]
