Vegan restaurants in Dublin

Thirteen source-checked vegan or vegan-friendly Dublin food spots, with ratings removed unless directly sourced. Use this as a practical "vegan food near me" guide, then check the venue's live menu before travelling.

QA note: This page was rechecked in June 2026 against official venue pages, tourism listings and specialist vegan directories where available. We removed unsourced review ratings, softened live-menu claims, moved closed venues into a closure note, and corrected Holi's address from the old South King Street listing to Drumcondra.

Fast routes for pizza, cheese and chain searches

If you searched for vegan pizza Dublin, start with the Dublin vegan pizza guide. For delivery-chain checks, use the Domino's vegan menu page and confirm the selected branch at checkout.

If the question is really about vegan cheese for cooking or shopping, compare the best vegan cheese guide with the vegan cheese product picker. Stock and menus change, so these are routing pages rather than live availability guarantees.

Fully vegan or plant-based

Cornucopia

19-20 Wicklow Street, Dublin 2

Plant-based Dublin institution serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts and takeaway over several floors. Best first stop for city-centre vegan food near Grafton Street.

Verified June 2026: official site and Discover Ireland.

The Saucy Cow

19 Crane Lane, Temple Bar, Dublin 2

Fully vegan fast food in Temple Bar: burgers, loaded fries, brunch and comfort food. Strong option when you want late city-centre vegan food rather than a salad-bar meal.

Verified June 2026: official site and booking listing.

Vegetarian and vegan restaurants

Glas Restaurant

15/16 Chatham Street, Dublin 2

Vegetarian and plant-based restaurant near Grafton Street, useful for a more polished vegan-friendly dinner or occasion meal. Check the current menu because not every dish is vegan.

Checked June 2026: official site, menu/booking evidence and DublinTown. Confirm the current vegan menu before booking.

Umi Falafel

Dublin branches include George's Street Arcade, Mary Street and Rathmines

100% vegetarian falafel chain with many naturally vegan orders. Good for quick city-centre lunches, especially falafel wraps, hummus, salads and mezze.

Verified June 2026: official locations page.

Govinda's

83 Middle Abbey Street, Dublin 1

Long-running vegetarian counter-service spot with vegan options. Ask staff what is vegan on the day because dishes can change at the counter.

Verified June 2026: Visit Dublin, DublinTown and current social profiles.

Vegan-friendly restaurants

Shouk

40 Lower Drumcondra Road, Dublin 9

Middle Eastern restaurant with falafel, salads, cauliflower, aubergine and other vegan-friendly orders. It serves meat, so confirm sauces and shared-plate items if strict vegan preparation matters.

Verified June 2026: official site and HappyCow.

Nutbutter

Smithfield, Grand Canal Dock and Dundrum

Flexitarian health-food restaurant with plant-forward lunch options rather than a fully vegan menu. Check the current branch menu before travelling.

Checked June 2026: official locations/menu pages, current social profile and Dundrum listing.

Holi

18 Drumcondra Road Lower, Dublin 9

Modern Indian restaurant with vegan side dishes and vegetarian/vegan menu labelling on delivery and booking listings. Confirm dairy and ghee if ordering from the wider menu.

Verified June 2026: official site, delivery menu and Dining in Dublin listing.

Pog

Tara Street, Bachelors Walk, Clontarf, Howth and Malahide

Brunch cafe chain with five Dublin locations listed on its current site. Treat it as a vegan-friendly brunch possibility rather than a dedicated vegan stop, and confirm the exact branch menu before travelling.

Checked June 2026: official locations page; vegan availability should be confirmed by branch.

Kimchi Hophouse

160 Parnell Street, Dublin 1

Korean and Japanese restaurant with vegan-friendly orders. Ask staff which bibimbap, broths, kimchi and sauces are vegan because some Korean dishes can contain fish ingredients.

Checked June 2026: official site plus directory evidence; confirm current vegan dishes at the venue.

The Little Kitchen

129 Leeson Street Upper, Dublin 4

Neighbourhood restaurant with changing menus. It is not a core vegan restaurant; call ahead if you need a guaranteed vegan main or dessert.

Checked June 2026: official site. Call ahead for vegan availability.

Vegan pizza in Dublin

For a fuller pizza-only view, including order checks and chain-menu cautions, use the vegan pizza Dublin guide. The listings below are starting points to verify against each venue's current menu.

PI Pizza

23 Essex Street East and 73-83 South Great George's Street, Dublin 2

Wood-fired pizza restaurant whose menu has carried items marked "VG". Good for vegan pizza searches around Temple Bar and George's Street, but check the current menu before ordering.

DiFontaine's Pizzeria

New York-style slice shop with a dedicated vegan pizza page. Ask what vegan slices are available when you arrive, especially late at night.

Verified June 2026: official vegan pizza page and HappyCow.

Closed or not Dublin

Blazing Salads: moved out of the open-venue list. The business social profile says it ceased trading in Dublin in September 2024, and specialist directories now mark it closed.

Sonflour: useful for "vegan Italian" and "vegan pizza" research, but not a Dublin listing. Sonflour is associated with Cork, so it should not be included in this Dublin directory.

Veginity: not included as an open Dublin restaurant. Specialist vegan directories list the old Veginity entry as closed, and current social profiles point to a different identity.
