You can’t beat Dublin for a cracking lunch—between Guinness-fuelled chats in cosy pubs and sunlit bites in city centre cafés, there’s something for every appetite. Whether you're grabbing lunch near St. Stephen’s Green or booking a spot in Grand Canal Dock for your team, Dublin serves it up with charm (and a finger-licking toastie). Scroll on to find the top lunch venues in Dublin.
Prices for lunch venues in Dublin start from €15 to €25 per person at spots like Kyodai Izakaya and Siam Restaurant & Cocktail Bar, or around €125 to €500 for flat hire fees at venues like Maldron Hotel Parnell Square or Toast. For premium venues or full buyouts, costs range from €1,000 to €20,000+, depending on group size, location, and services included. (All data from Tagvenue.)
Most lunch venues include private or semi-private space, standard table setup, and basic staffing. Some offer set menus, drink packages, and AV equipment for meetings or presentations. If you’re paying a minimum spend, that amount usually covers your group’s food and beverage costs. Always confirm what's included when enquiring via Tagvenue.
Booking at least 2 to 4 weeks in advance is recommended, particularly for popular city centre locations or group sizes over 30. Venues around Temple Bar and central business districts can fill quickly for weekday corporate lunches and festive periods like December.
