Are they the same as the one in Bray? If so, yes they're really good too!

Murphy's is amazing. There's a new place with Italian gelato by the spire, haven't tried, but the choice looks impressive.

That's Suso, been there twice now, they have a lot of flavours, the ice cream is pretty good but not as good as Murphy's still very much worth a visit if you're around!

I'm not trying to be funny. But the best ice cream in Dublin is the 2,5 litre tub of vanilla from lidl for €3,99. It's made with cream and real vanilla. It's so good

Another vote for Murphys here. Slightly expensive but so, so worth it.

I hear a lot about this place, do they make their own ice cream and is there many flavours to choose ?

If you want my twopence worth about Teddy's, I've tasted better whipped ice cream (from places that are no longer around). I thing it's their location, Sandycove / Dun Laoghaire, that elevates them a bit with people

I'll give it a try and if I like it, well, if you see a fella walking down Moore St eating out of a tub, tip the hat to a fellow boardsie.

Angelo's in portmarnock, very cheap and great choice of ice creams, well worth taking a trip out there.

Murphy's is a rip off. Gem Howth 99's are nice.

Yeah after reading this thread I tried it. Was really nice but cost €3.80 for a very small cone

Not at all. The prices are clearly displayed, they're not compulsory, and there are plenty of cheaper alternatives available.

I don't think rip off means what you think it means....

Gino's in Dalkey is worth a try...?

There is a place on Grafton Street that I forget the name of, they have really nice ice cream. Tried Murphy's and it didn't really taste great tbh, personal preference and all that. The place on Henry Street has very nice ice cream too.

yoginindublin

i like Gino's for its smooth texture and the Ferrero is my favorite among all their flavors. I found Murphys to be similar to Ben and Jerry's and wasnt really impressed.

These are probably both Ginos - they have a very small shop on Grafton Street and a bigger one on Henry Street

Yep

Murphy's hands down. Been to the shops in both Dublin and Dingle now and love them.
Try the sea salt flavor with another sweeter scoop, lovely. Plus the staff are all lovely.

On a related note; Any other pedants that get mightily annoyed to see them still advertised as 99's? Been a long while since they actually cost that little...

Apparently they are not called 99s because of the price. I heard a lady from Teddys on the radio last year and she said the name related to the 99th division or battalion or something like that in the army or police in Milan back in the late 1800s. They were considered the elite of all the troops in the area and the ice cream was named after them.

Bit of random useless information there.

I thought they were called after the 99 flake? Are flakes called 99 flakes, I thought they were but now I'm beginning to doubt myself...

I think you might mean 'expensive'.

Since when was "rip-off" solely confined to where prices aren't displayed?

I think most people would equate "rip-off" with something that's largely overpriced.

You've come up with your own definition of it and are being really pedantic about it

Not really. We're great at whining ripoff this that and the other here. It's only a ripoff if you're being overcharged for a good or service that you've no choice but to pay for. Examples of 'ripoff' might include such things as dental work, electricity prices, or rent in Dublin!

There's plenty of cheaper ice cream around. If you don't like the price, don't pay it. I'd love, for example, an Aston Martin. If by some miracle I can ever afford one I'll be handing over six figures for what is essentially just a car. I could probably buy a hundred perfectly good toyotas for the same price. Aston Martin wouldn't be ripping me off, as I could just as easily buy one of the toyotas to fulfil every function I'd ever require of a car. Also, I could spend the difference on ice cream from Gino's. I'd even buy you one. A large one! Why not? I'd be feckin' loaded!

I think you're mixing up "expensive" and "over-priced". An Aston Martin is expensive, but not necessary overpriced.

The original poster who called Murphy's a rip-off obviously felt as though it cost a lot more than it was worth. Just because the prices are displayed and he had a choice to not buy it doesn't mean it's no longer a rip-off.

To use your examples, Dublin rent is still a rip-off whether you have to pay it or not. Electricity is still a rip-off even if the prices are displayed on the leaflet.
