We all have those days.
The days where we wake up on the wrong side of the bed and think that everything is absolutely shite.
A lot of us will lean towards comfort eating in times like these – and rightly so.
There’s nothing a good comfort meal can’t cure.
Here are our top ten comfort meals in Dublin right now.
1. Fry up – Gerry’s
Tucked away on Montague Lane, you’ll find Dublin’s best feed.
It’s an institution – of the best kind.
Whether you want a full carvery dinner or the biggest fry-up of your life – Gerry’s has it all.
Go on an empty stomach – trust us.
2. Ramen – The Ramen Bar, South William Street
Slurping up a bowl of ramen when you’re feeling down is the ultimate pick-me-up.
It’s like a hug in a bowl.
The Ramen Bar has seriously upped its game in the last year with an extensive menu and tasty complimentary appetisers to brighten up your day.
3. Toastie – Grogan’s, South William Street
A toastie and a pint of Guinness can cure any bad day.
We promise.
4. Burger – Bunsen
If I’m having a bad day, all I want is a Bunsen.
In fact, even if I’m having a good day, I want a Bunsen.
There’s something about having that squidgy package of heaven planted down in front of you that just get the endorphins pumping.
Happiness is Bunsen.
5. Lobster roll – Klaw, Temple Bar
Salty, buttery brioche roll topped with silky lobster and the best pickles in Dublin.
Klaw’s rolls are the ultimate comfort food.
They also have a killer prawn roll and a new crab roll – all divine.
6. Chips – Leo Burdock
Inhaling a chipper can brighten any dark day.
Potatoes are the comfort food of our ancestors going back a few hundred years – and we love ’em as much today as they did back then.
Make sure to ask for the crispy bits.
7. Soy garlic chicken – Crackbird, Dame Street
You gotta look after yourself when you’re feeling down – and chicken is a great way of doing just that.
Lob some burnt lemon and whipped feta on the side and Bob’s your uncle.
8. Burrito – Boojum
Sink into the burrito of your dreams and watch all of your worries fade away.
Extra guac, please.
9. Truffle ravioli – Rosa Madre, Temple Bar
Who says money can’t buy happiness?
This dish is priced at a startling €17 but the Ravioli al Tartufo filled with ricotta and black truffle in butter and sage sauce changes lives.
10. A massive subway
You’re feeling shite so you deserve to eat whatever the f*ck you want.
Whether that be a €17 salad or a footlong Subway filled with everything you could ever want.
Hearty Italian with steak and cheese and extra pickles, please.
Don’t worry, be happy.
