excellent - Edit
Went here 3 times lately, the breakfast was mouthwatering tofu on toast, flavoured so nicely that it waters my mouth just remembering it.Quite expensive, but the desserts, especially raw vegan cheesecakes, are out of this world. Try it for breakfast one day, you`ll love it. It is terribly busy and overcrowdwd at night. Toilets are small and down some narrow stairs, and so you find yourself passing waiters carrying pans etc whilst attempting to negotiate the stairs. How about more wheelchair friendly toilets please?

Good food and central - Edit
We had an evening meal and then breakfast here a couple of days later. The food is good and the place is certainly busy. The area for ordering the food is a bit congested and makes one feel rushed a bit. However, it was great to find a place that had vegan food.

Not Bad! Not fantastic - Edit
Normally when I see up to 4 happy cow ratings I get excited and probably have higher expectations than I should. This place is ok. I've been here three times in the last month, mostly out of convenience to its location.

Top veggie food in the heart of the city - Edit
It was so good we came back for more. The restaurant offers buffet-style food, much of which is vegan, with gf options as well. Great variety of food- verified by the fact that we came back the night after and the entire menu had changed! Colourful, flavoursome and super location. All very reasonably priced as well!

Outstanding! - Edit
On a visit to Dublin had more than one meal here - amazing quality and taste as witnessed by the difficulty finding somewhere to sit in the middle of the afternoon. What is really unusual is the fact that they can still remain current and not rest on their laurels after over 25 years in business unlike places I could mention in London.

Cornucopia Dublin Ireland - Edit
I've eaten in Cornucopia many times and I'm totally in love with the restaurant. There food is prepared beautifully and caters to all kinds of dietary requirements. They have a cookbook on sale which includes all the best recipes and a story of there business, I couldn't find a fault with them if I tried. Easily one of my favorite places to eat, relax in and to socialize in! All the staff and wonderfully friendly and helpful :)

It was ok... - Edit
I was excited to visit Cornucopia after a year of planning my visit to Dublin. It was nicely busy when I arrived, but not too much so. There was live music playing, which gave it a nice vibe. I stood in the cafeteria-style line and ordered 1 of the 2 vegan entrees they had to offer that day. To my dismay, there were no vegan desserts. :( My food was mediocre and barely luke-warm. I wasn't thrilled with my experience. If I'm back in Dublin, I'd give them another try, since their menu changes daily, to see if I luck up next time.

Good Lunch - Edit
Cornucopia Wholefoods is a lunch type spot where they change their menu daily. It is located in a busy part shopping part of Dublin, just off of Grafton St. I chose the curry with two types of salads, a microgreens salad and a cabbage type salad. It was pretty good!

Amazing vegan food - Edit
This is my most favourite restaurant in the world (so far). Here you can get yummy, home-made like vegan food (they also have vegetarian). They also have some very interesting desserts (although a bit expensive). My favourites are the soups, the breads/scones, and they have some amazing main dishes that change everyday. The garlic potatoe salad (which I think is available everyday) is a must try in my opinion. If you go to Dublin and are vegan, do yourself a favor and eat here. The hard part is that, when you leave, you will be dreaming about this food. Really, trully amazing!

YUMMY - Edit
The ladies at the health food shop recommended this for dinner. While it was cafeteria style service, the seating area was really nice, like a regular restaurant. Only about half the entrees were vegan, but the two we tried were really delicious. The soup is a bargain by Dublin standards, a big old bowl for eu4. The most exciting part was the Coconut Vanilla custard pie though. It was awesome! I think there were three vegan dessert selections, so pretty good.

Dublin's best veggie eatery and now twice the size - Edit
Though it's open for breakfasts and lunches, too, I can speak best of dinners at Cornucopia, which are always really flavourful and served up in generous portions. It's a simple and relaxed place - a cafe moreso than a restaurant where you step up to the counter and will have a choice of five or six main courses, with at least a couple of vegan options, plus ten salads - five regulars and five daily specials - again with vegans well-catered for (check the blackboards for details of exactly what's in each dish and what diets they're suited to). For 12.50 or 12.95, depending on your chosen main option, you'll get hearty portion served up onto your plate with the chance to choose two salads as accompaniment - many of them very substantial in their own right. Even if you arrive raging hungry, don't imagine you need anything else! Those with smaller appetites might prefer to stick with the salads alone.
Read moreCornucopia is so popular that it can be busy at the counter and hard to see all the choices at times, but the staff are always very helpful and there's never any sense of pressure. Happily, a short while ago, the owners were able to take on the adjacent building to expand and it can now offer a lot more seating. This is still not always enough to avoid the need for customers to share tables at the very busiest points, but I've experienced this just once since the expansion and I'd consider myself a regular. Also new are later opening hours - extending to 22.30 on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays - often with a harpist playing gently in the background.
Cornucopia has a good commitment to using organic produce (again there's a blackboard setting out just what ingredients used are organic, including all their soy-based products, thereby ensuring they're GM-free).
Pros: Tasty and plentiful food, Great location, Helpful, committed staff
Cons: Can get busy

Very tasty vegan food - Edit
Cornucopia is extremely vegan-friendly canteen style whole-food vegetarian restaurant/cafe.
Read moreDon't let 'whole-food' put you off, the food here is seriously tasty! Usually hearty, flavourful curries and casseroles. The salads are also hearty, they have a really tasty home-made vegan mayonnaise that they use for their coleslaw.
Most of the desserts/cakes are vegan (which I never realised as the queue always blocks my view of the counter), and there is a good selection of teas, coffee and wine.
It's slightly pricey but the portion sizes are large.
Pros: Lots of choice for vegans, incl desserts, Does take-away, Central location and nice staff
Cons: Slightly pricey, Queue often blocks view of the food/menu

amazing food - Edit
Went to Dublin for a week and had food there almost every single day. They have some very good vegan options including desserts - the berry crumble is amazing ... it's just a pity that the place is so casual and not more like a restaurant... for example: when I'm over I would like to show my carnivorous friends how good vegan food can be and would like to take them out to dinner. But Cornucopia closes very early on some days and this canteen style in-eat-out atmosphere isn't the right thing for a nice dinner with friends

Dreaming of you. - Edit
So FINALLY I got to go to this restirant and was like, WOAH THIS HAVE FOOD LIKE THIS DUBLIN????? where have i been eating all this time!? can i just say BEST Garlic Mayo ever. Im not even one who likes mass amounts of mayo on my potato salad but soething was calling me to it, so they piled it up and i gobbled the whole thing. And THEN i scraped the leftover blobs of mayo with my fork and ate it plane. oh man it was good. Im gunna get so fat :). I also had some sort of fried thing, which was pretty good and a salad which had kinda a sweeter dressing. that one was alright. Again, with many resturants here, it seems like its a lot of money but i could split this with somebody easily (except, of course hogging the potato salad to myself)
Read moreOh yeah, and also the staff was really friendly too!!! i didnt really know what to order and the woman helped me out a lot.
Pros: lots of vegan foods, MAYO (its vegan), they pile it on
Cons: there, are, none

Yes! - Edit
I Love this place! I've gone there three times in one week. I'm working in Dublin for seven weeks (from Arizona) and Cornucopia has quickly become my favorite restaurant. The staff are incredibly cheerful and helpful, go-out-of-their-way nice. Each day there are hot dishes and salads and a host of baked goods. Plenty of vegan options. A hot meal with two salads costs 13 euros and is enough for two meals. (I pick up take-out containers while ordering.) There's a water bubbler if you want to drink just water with your meal. The place is so busy I don't recommend going during the busy lunch hour (hard to get a table then). Some nights they have live music, low key and not so loud you can't have a good conversation. Delicious food, comfortable setting, very reasonable price for the amount of food you get. Highly recommended.

Really good - Edit
While in Dublin for a couple of days we tried out Cornucopia and it was so good that we HAD to eat there a second time during our stay. The place is really nice and the food is simply delicious. When we arrived the staff explained straight away how it works (self-service) and helped us find a table. We then picked our mains and two salads and were surprised by the huge amount of food served! The combination of colours and tastes made it very appetizing and somehow we managed to finish everything. On the menu when we were there: butterbean and brazil nut fillet with hot mash, onion gravy and seasonable vegs / ragout of fennel, roast peppers, butterbean and olives / broccoli quiche / fennel, lentil and cauliflower with mashed potatoes. Everything is clearly marked vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, wheat free... A great spot!

Filling and Delicious! - Edit
Wonderful food served cafeteria-style in this bustling eatery! There were more vegetarian, than vegan, options, but vegans do have plenty of selection. I enjoyed the following vegan foods: schnitzel (very good), brown rice, chickpea salad, sprouts, and basil and pepper scone. They even gave me a vegan 'buttery' spread to accompany the scone, which was out of this world. The fruit-and-oat square for dessert was great, too. I am the type of diner who cleans my plate but even I could not finish the massive proportions one gets for lunch. For 12.50 Euro, this is by-far the most food you will get for your money. In addition to the value, the food is delicious!

Great vegetarian in Dublin - Edit
I dined here at lunchtime while visiting Dublin, and found a small, bustling restaurant. I don't recall exactly what I had but I remember it was all excellent and priced reasonably enough, and that many of the main dishes and salads offered were vegan. Would go back next time I'm in Dublin.

Right off Grafton street, so can stop in while shopping (or window shopping) on that street. Very small, limited seating, but seemed to be just enough at dinner time. Very limited choices on the menu, but the food was good. Service was very friendly and helpful.

Hearty and wholesome - Edit
I definitely felt healthier after eating a meal here - but the servings were huge! I preferred the main hot dishes to the salad choices (they vary every day). There is a student-like atmosphere and the staff were very helpful in explaining the ordering 'procedure' (no table service; order at counter). Free water on tap and you will find many brochures for arts and music events.
Read moreIt's also a little pricey - around 12 euro for a plate. But then Dublin was very expensive.

I heart Cornucopia! - Edit
When I lived in Dublin some years back I ate here so often. As a vegan it was great that everything is labeled. There are different dishes each day so you can get a bit excited wondering what it'll be today!
Read moreIt was a crowded place which is great! I loved the atmosphere. I did just read that they are expanding because they bought the place next door or something like that...so I'm sure now they will be roomier to accommodate all the fans.
The food is comforting, warm, delicious, healthy and hearty.
I truly love this place and recommend it to any vegetarian/vegan/healthy people. All of my friends (some not veggies) enjoyed the food here, too.
Portions are big for the price!
Pros: Good Value, healthy cuisine, delicious food
