Pizzeria | €
TIMES: 12pm-10pm, 7 days
WEBSITE: stoned-pizza.com
ORDER ONLINE: Can order for delivery or collection here.
This isn't the BEST pizzeria in Dublin but it's pretty good - and it's probably the best value pizzeria in Dublin. Good choice in pizzas, chicken wings, toasted sandwiches and a range of sides. Lunch or dinner, you won't get better for less than €10. There is limited seating (a couple of tables inside and a couple outside), so you'll probably have to take it away - but it's only a very short walk (around a minute) from the apartment. Get a bottle of wine or a couple of beers in the Spar store a couple of doors down and all sorted!

Proper New York-style pizzeria just around the corner from the apartment. You can get a single slice or a full pizza. And can sit in or take away. The slices are huge and cost around €5.
5. YUM THAI
14 Duke Street, Dublin 2 | 13 minute walk from the apartment
Thai | €
HOURS: 12pm-9pm, Monday to Saturday; CLOSED Sundays
ONLINE ORDER: Not available. Call in and order takeout.
One of the best kept secrets in the city and a big favourite among students from nearby Trinity College, Grafton Street shoppers and office workers. It's food from a carton which mightn't be to everyone's liking but it's genuinely great Thai street food. A curry for €5, pad thai for €6... you can't go wrong!
6. PABLO PICANTE
4 Clarendon Market, Dublin 2 | 12 minute walk from the apartment
Mexican | €
TIMES: 12pm-9pm, Sunday to Wednesday; 12pm-10pm, Thursdays; 12pm-10.45pm, Fridays & Saturdays
WEBSITE: pablopicante.com
Basically burritos and beer with quesadillas on the side, that's it. It's a small menu but big burritos! And at around €10 for a packed burrito, it's good value too.
7. LEO BURDOCKS
4 Crown Alley, Temple Bar, Dublin 2 | 7 minute walk from the apartment
Fish 'n' Chips | €
TIMES: 12pm-9pm, Monday-Thursday; 12pm-11pm, Friday, Saturday & Sunday
WEBSITE: leoburdock.com
Without doubt, the best "chipper" in Dublin, Leo Burdock's is a cherished Dublin institution - up there with Guinness and U2! And, according to The Guardian, it's the 4th best fish & chip shop in the UK & Ireland. This Temple Bar location has tables and seating inside, so it's maybe more convenient (and weather-proof) but if that doesn't matter to you, try the original location next to Christchurch Cathedral (2 Werburgh St, Dublin 8 - actually even closer to the apartment at just a 6 minute walk). If you do, be sure to pop into the Lord Edward Pub next door - upstairs lounge - for a pint!).
