Cheap lunches may not be that hard to find, but cheap and tasty lunches? Gold dust.
Good thing is we've done all the hard work for you.
Feast your eyes upon some of the best lunches in town, and that's only this week's edition. Happy eating, you lot.
1. Special of the day, Honest to Goodness – €6
Going by the specials board every time you visit a place can be risky business, but not with Honest to Goodness. Their food is wholesome, tasty and superbly filling.
They use the freshest of ingredients, and it definitely shows.
2. Sandwich, Lolly & Cooks – €4.20 - €4.50
Good food, quick service and a tasty end result. Lolly & Cooks' sandwiches are big, tasty and made right in front of you – what more could you ask for? Oh, and they come in under a fiver. Which is super rare around the city centre.
Their savage rolls are ENORMOUS and come in at a very reasonable €3.70 also, if you're looking for something different this lunch time.
3. Tuna/Veggie Wrap, Urban Picnic – €6
Located just around the corner from Lolly & Cooks in George's Arcade, Urban Kitchen is a hub of delicious activity, with some of the best sandwiches Dublin can offer.
They also whip up some cracking soups and really delicious hot pots too.
4. Stir Fry, Mongolian Barbeque – €5.90
Arguably the best value lunch in Dublin. €5.90 in Mongolian Barbeque gets you a huge amount of noodles, veg, meat, spices and a bowl full of sticky rice. It's all made fresh in front of you, and it's all delicious.
And it comes with a refresher sweet at the end. Important.
5. Rice and Bean Burrito, Mama's Revenge – €4
Simple and tasty. Just the ticket to fill you up on a busy day. Mama's Revenge has got you covered.
There's also the option to add guacamole for 70c, if you really can't go a day without it. We won't judge.
6. Wrap, Blazing Salads – €3 - €4
Definitely the most reasonably priced health shop in town. All of the wraps in the fridge are about €3.50, as well as the healthy pastries at the till. They also do reasonably priced weekly specials, so you can stay feeling good without declaring bankruptcy.

A Skort by Any Other Name On a humid afternoon this weekend at St Peregrine’s GAA Club Blanchardstown, west of Dublin, thirty camogie players took the field not in the sport’s traditional skorts, but in shorts. They weren’t in war paint or waving placards but they may as as well have been. The Kilkenny and […]

At the core of the problem is a pattern all too familiar in public transport systems: big-picture ambition undercut by everyday mismanagement.What happened in Dublin over the past six months […]

Remember 2007? Every Irish Leaving Cert oral exam was essentially a panic attack punctuated by shaky mentions of “cúlú eacnamaíochta.” Now, the discourse is back but 2025-ified. Instead of being pumped into us via well meaning language teachers, this time it is fuelled by TikTok sleuths dissecting every minor inconvenience as proof we’re already in […]
A survival guide for the tragically trendy now being bullied by signage. So. It’s sunny. You’ve got your tiny sunglasses on, your €17 graphic tee is cropped just enough to show the tattoo you got in a moment of heartbreak, and your Sambas have barely touched grass. You’ve done your civic duty and supported a […]
Waking up at 5AM is slightly more tolerable when there’s the Best Sunrise Views in Dublin and the opportunity to flex on main. There’s a specific kind of person who voluntarily wakes up at sunrise. They’re either spiritually awakened, deeply anxious, on a wellness bender, or just trying to feel something before the workday starts. […]
