    It always amazes me when I see thousands of GAA fans eating in Supermacs, Burgerking and McDonalds in Dublin on match day when there's a plethora of really really good, cheap (and not so cheap) restaurants in the city. And, I'm not being a food snob, I often see GAA fans in the restaurants I'm mentioning!

    Seven Northside Dublin gems close to Croke Park.

    KOH - epic Asian food, super service, decent kids menu (€5 for a huge kids noodle dish). I can't recommend this place enough. Particularly for big, mixed aged groups, caters for everyone.

    Boojum - Mexican, top class Tex-Mex.

    Brother Hubbards - Great food, but a bit hipsterish, slow service.

    Thai Jasmine - Good sit down but usually quick, very reasonable, fresh food.

    Thai Basil Noodle bar- Great fresh food, super quick, there's a bar or pay and go. Good kids chicken or beef and Veg noodles too.

    Musashi - The best Sushi in the country with good kids choice (noodles, veg and chicken or beef) Very good value for what it is (super fressh raw fish in some cases).

    FX Buckleys - Steak done well, not amazing value though.

    Chapter One - Fine dining, quality over value and quantity... not suitable for kids, expansive but unique food for the discerning foodie. Book for next year, well worth it if you want to taste Irish produce cooked very very very well.

    That's all well and good but could you park a 7610 with a twin axle silage trailer outside any of them!!

    IMO Ferricks has gone downhill in the last few months, their floor staff ain't the best and portion sizes have been noticeable reduced.

    I had to google that. It looks military spec and you'd probably end up parking on top of our little city cars and bikes!

    So, the answer is no, unless you're up on a protest.

    But, if you're up for a match they're worth considering.

    Are you sure, I'd think twice before having a pint in there. Would have though they'd be the last place to serve food

    The last two times that OH and I dined there we were very disappointed. Both occasions were within the last 2 months. Awful pity as its on our way home and we used to eat their regularly.

    Can't beat an auld Booj up in the big shmoke!

    Zaytoons is great too

    Chapter one for a GAA dinner? You must be in the corporate box!

    You clearly like your food so next time your up that way there is a Lebanese restaurant on Andrew street called The Ceder Tree. Been there for years
    Order one of the Mezze plates and you'll have enough food to last a week

    I was going to a match with a load of Mayo lads a few years back and we stopped off in Fredricks on the way up to Croke Park( so did probably every other Mayo fan place was packed). They were all were saying it was the best place to eat but to be honest didn't see what all the fuss was about. The food was OK nothing exceptional.

    Fureys bar on the enfeild Kinegad road. If you get a fine day sitting out by the canal is lovely

    The Hammlet Johnstownbridge

    Farm to fork Athboy

    The forge between Carnaross and Virginia (don't roll up in your mart gear though)

    Dunderry lodge

    Boojum has to be one of the best places I've been too. Not the type of food I'd usually go for but I would recommend it to anyone who likes spicy food👌ðŸ»ðŸ‘ŒðŸ»

    I'd forgotten about The Hamlet. Always got good grub there.
    Be well worth tipping the few hundred yards off the N4.

    Great idea for a thread. If a crowd of farmers come out full the quantity must be OK anyhow!

    I heard the forge was closing.... a good spot, I second fureys too.

    Brownes on the green in tyrrellspass, owned and run by an ex Dunbia manager. Nice food and atmosphere for a night out
    I got lovely food and plenty of it in the Ramble Inn last week, it's on the Ballymena to Antrim road.
    Lovely food in Wineport in Athlone too, but too expensive and you'd need to go for a Supermacs after to have enough.
    Very unusual now to get badly stung in restaurants nowadays.....it's so competitive

    How's NZ going for ya ? Langton's in Kilkenny city is also a good spot. Mario's chipper out near the ring road. Arrons chipper in Kilsheelan village on the N24 is known over the country for their wraps and burgers

    Dylans in Drumlish? Never heard or seen it, where is it? Dillons in Ballinamuck is superb too.
    Would agree with Cryans over the Landmark but if you're eating dinner you'd want to be hungry at 1pm for it, otherwise the place is wedged til 3 or so.
    Cox's in Dromod is my fav in that region though, the steak is to die for!

    Boojum is excellent - tasty, filling burritos for about €7.50. 3 in Dublin and in Galway and Cork now. You don't have to love spicy Tex-Mex to love a burrito. It can be as mild or as spicy as you want.

    The Oarsman in Carrick On Shannon serve top notch food.

    Quality of the grub should take precedence over quantity.

    There has been a revolution in eating out in Ireland in the past 20 years. Overcooked steak, burger and chips or dry chicken breast plus frozen chips just won't cut it anymore.

    Another fan of Fureys. Lovely little wooden building in a great spot!
