Delicious food - Edit
Curry squash soup with spelt bread was delicious! The enchilada was also all right but the texture was underwhelming. Loved the wide selection of healthy foods. I liked the vibe and views out the window onto the street.

Nice food - Edit
They offer various types of salads, soups and main courses. They are good but expensive. The place became totally vegan.

Hi, just to say that it is actually still not fully vegan here. The food is vegan but dairy milk and butter are still served, and you have to clarify when ordering if you want plant based milk

What a feast - Edit
We came here twice during our trip around ireland.
Read moreThey offer cake, small meals, breakfast and lunches. We had mainly the breakfast items.
I would highly recommend trying out the sausage rolls. We also had a scone and a rugelach as a sweet treat.
I can't recomment this place enough, as it is also a very nice spot to sit during the rainy afternoons in Dublin (we were at luck and it was sunny all day)..
Please note that they have serveral floors and the toilets are not suited for folks with wheelchairs.
Pros: Food, Ambience
Cons: Toilets (clean and all, but not accessible)

Fully vegan deliciousness! - Edit
It turned fully vegan!
Read moreGet ready to work for your food by standing in line and then carrying your food narrow stairs up to the tables - but 100% worth it!
So many choices, everything I had was incredible. Can especially recommend the salads, so fresh and healthy
Pros: Healthy, Taste, Friendly staff
Cons: Self-service

The only restaurant you need in Dublin - Edit
Me and my friend spent a week in Dublin and came back to this restaurant at least once every day. We tried other places during our stay but nothing that was even remotely as good. Everything in this restaurant and café was so tasty and the place was really cute. They even had vegan irish coffee ❤️ Dublin is expensive and this place is no different but they had a few cheaper options (at around 8 euros) that was still a filling meal on a budget.
Read morePros: The salads were to die for, Loved that they served alcohol , A lot of comfort food

Great - Edit
Nice space and the mix and match combo aspect for your meal is appealing, especially as there is so many good things to choose from. Dessert was also great. Can’t fault it apart maybe from being a couple of euros more than it probably should be.

Great fresh food - Edit
Update October 2024: be careful as the sign now says that their food is now fully vegan, but I was surprised to be asked if I wanted 'regular milk' with my hot chocolate.
Read moreI had added this to my list to try on happy cow based on the glowing reviews, but additionally got 3 real life recommendations which hardly ever happens so I knew I had to come here. I now come here fairly regularly! I really enjoy eating fresh tasty vegan food here in this meat free and mostly vegan (serves dairy milk and butter) restaurant. The main meal is a choice of a main course and either 2 salads or soup with a slice of bread. Mains I've tried include the potato cake, the lasagne, the stroganoff, and the shepherds pie. All very flavourful.
It's very popular especially at peak times but there's 3 floors of seating so you shouldn't be too stuck for a table, depending on the size of your group. One day I came here with a group on 5 on a Saturday at 4pm and we were not able to find a table and had to leave which was very disappointing.
The main downside is that you have to carry your own (heavy) tray of food and climb the narrow steep stairs as you search for a table, which is tricky, especially if others are coming downstairs against you.
The period detail of the building and decor is lovely, especially on the second floor. Staff is friendly.

Pros: All vegan food, Fresh tasty food , Great decor
Cons: Have to carry tray up stairs if downstairs full, Asked if want 'regular milk'

Finally found a vegan scone - Edit
I am pretty sure it’s the only place in Dublin where you can find a vegan scone, mine was very good, served with jam and vegan butter. Although I now realize it was served at room temperature and I think it should be toasted - had never eaten one in my life so I might be mistaken. There’s plenty of seating space even upstairs! Would definitely recommend

Vegan (almost) for the Planet and your taste buds! - Edit
We had the Dirty Chai to drink which was deliciously rich, and the tofu/beans on toast. I had spelt bread and my husband had white sourdough. Absolutely delicious with a lovely vibe. We also tried their cakes and pastries which were delicious too. Highly recommend.

Best in Dublin! - Edit
An institution, that sneakily turned fully vegan without scaring away any customers. Delicious but healthy food, mostly actual vegetables rather than meat substitutes. Excellent dairy free desserts, and takeaway Christmas dinners that have saved countless family Christmases.

Ahora todo es vegano - Edit
Tienen muchísimas opciones, y es el único restaurante 100% vegano en Dublín. Funciona tipo self-service, haces cola nada más entrar, eliges la comida (puede ser menú con entrante, plato principal y postre, o elegir lo que quieras), te lo van poniendo en la bandeja conforme avanzas, pagas y buscas un sitio. Tienen 3 plantas con mesas y sillas. Comimos sopa de boniato, lasaña, pasta pesto con boloñesa de tofu y un pastelito de almendra y pistacho, todo muy rico.
Read morePros: Pastelito, Lasaña, Gran cantidad de sitio
Cons: Es complicado subir con las bandejas

Hola, solo para decir que la comida aquí es vegana, pero la leche láctea y la mantequilla todavía están en el menú y debes aclarar en tu pedido si quieres leche de origen vegetal.

Fantastic place for breakfast, lunch, dinner of a drink - Edit
All the food is vegan so that’s good to know. They have cow milk and butter so that’s why it is not totally vegan. The restaurant is self -catering with more than enough space (also upstairs). Every day there new options on the menu. We went there 3 days in a row. The food is homemade and healthy

The sausage rolls are to die for! - Edit
Grabbed a quick Brekky here this morning before we set off on our day in Dublin. Staff were very lovely and super helpful. Everything currently being served was vegan which was amazing! We grabbed the scrambled tofu and a couple of seitan sausage rolls.
Read moreThe rolls were flippin fantastic! They’re served with a side of chutney and the flavour combo and texture were so, so good!
The scrambled tofu had very familiar flavours and felt very homely, like a good home cooked meal. Would absolutely come here again for Brekky!
Update:
So as it turns out, Ireland’s vegan restaurant scene has absolutely collapsed so our food options were limited, hence why we got a real late lunch/early dinner at cornucopia tonight. We got stroganoff and spanakopita, the stroganoff was frikken elite. Snapped a couple of pics for your perusal! Defs recommend as both a place for Brekky, lunch and dinner. Legends these folks are!

Gorgeous place - Edit
We really enjoyed our visit to Cornucopia. They had lots of options but I went for the moussaka and my husband had the bean stew and tomato soup. Everything was wholefood plant based, fresh and delicious! It is canteen style service, so you take your tray up to the counter and can have a look at all the options before choosing. The moussaka also came with two salad accompaniments, from which you can choose from several. The restaurant itself is in a beautiful old Georgian building with original features over three floors. Looking forward to visiting again!

Delicious and cozy - Edit
We were in Dublin for 5 days and visited Cornucopia 5 times... The food was delicious, the atmosphere was really lovely, and the service was great. Especially travelling and eating out lots, it was exactly what I needed (healthy but filling, with plenty of vegetables, and good value for money). Would definitely recommend a visit, even my non-vegan friend was raving about it.

Amazing Vegan Food! - Edit
A cozy little restaurant with a huge variety of vegan food and drinks, including Irish coffee and soft serve ice cream! All the food is made fresh and according to some recipes inspired by cultures around the world. It's not just basic dishes with plant based substitutes. During my stay in Dublin I came twice. That's how good it is! You can get something small and light or fill a tray with a big meal. They do offer dairy milk and butter (idk why) but everything else is all vegan.
Read morePros: Variety of vegan food, Healthy, Plenty of seating
Cons: Offers dairy products
