Amongst all the chaos of 2020 (we don't need to go into too much detail), there were some nice new openings in Dublin that gave us something to be buzzed about. Here at Lovin Dublin HQ, nothing gets us going like a brand new foodie spot.
With that in mind, it's time to look ahead to 2021 and get excited about all of the things we want to do. We've teamed up with Dacia to celebrate the launch of the
Dacia Duster and plan our explorations around the city.
So, we decided to compile a list of some of 2020's new openings in Dublin we think you should
definitely check out in the new year. And we're not simply limiting ourselves to the city centre. So hop in the car and make a day of it.
Cluck Chicken Truck, Walkinstown
The
Cluck Chicken Truck opened in Walkinstown in October and have been dishing out delicious chicken wings, loaded fries, chicken burgers, chicken tenders, everything that a lover of all things chicken would want on a menu.
Scoop Parlour Gelato Van, Clontarf
With a store located on Aungier Street,
Scoop Parlour has now set up shop in Clontarf, meaning we can enjoy a day by the seafront complete with gelato, crepes, coffee, milkshakes, sundaes and waffles.
