You know the drill. You find yourself smack bang in the middle of the vast thoroughfare that is O'Connell Street when hunger strikes.

However, one thing that will is our list of places to eat on O'Connell Street.
Aside from usual fast food outlets, O'Connell Street has a wide variety of restaurants and cafes where you can pop in for lunch or dinner or even a sweet treat and a cup of coffee. No more traipsing down side streets and alleyways looking to keep hunger at bay.
Here are some spots on O'Connell Street where you can fill up with a decent feed...
