Get Stuffed: Dublin's Eatin' Houses

           ‘We got the whiff of ray and chips and Mary softly sighed,
           Arah John come on for ‘one and one’, Down by the Liffeyside’.
                                       Peadar Kearney, Down By The Liffeyside

Like many major cities, Dublin has a strong association with food. From Molly Malone's 'cockles and mussels' to coddle - surely Dublin's signature dish - to the perennial Friday treat of 'one and one' (or fish and chips). This gallery celebrates some of the city's eatin' houses. We hope the chippers, cafes, and restaurants included here will bring back some happy memories.
