Food market

We visit this market every time we come to Dublin and love it! From the baked goods to the delicious cheeses and fresh produce, we fill out bags with wonderful goodies to take to our Airbnb and enjoy.

Small market, bread, cheese, vegetables and food

Also soooo schlecht, wie es hier teilweise beschrieben wird, ist es definitiv nicht. Der Markt ist klein aber fein. Als wir da waren gab es 6 Stände. Es gibt Pies, Samosas, Burger, Zimtschnecken und Kuchen. Da ist eigentlich für jeden was dabei. Wir haben hier qausi gefrühstückt und fanden es nett ☺️ außerdem gab es Live-Musik.

Came here hopping to get some ingredients with a mate, and didn't find all we needed. Not a larger selection as promised, but overall a great place to buy some good food. All the vendors are super friendly and love to make conversation! Great way to spend a morning! The ambiance is very quaint and friendly! Overall a great atmosphere and way to buy. Will come here for certain vegetables and lunch when I'm in the city

Thank you for the recommendation, Fodor's! (yes, I bought their travel guide like a true tourist.) My friends and I wanted to try some Ireland oysters because we heard they were supposedly super fresh. We were running out of time on our hunt to find them when I realized, 'I've got my trusty guidebook!!' And that's how we ended up here. It was 12 Euros for 6 oysters and a glass of wine. Since there were four of us, the lady was nice enough to give us 4 cups of wine (yes, plastic cups - it's a farmer's market, what do you expect!) They even threw in an extra oyster! SO FRESH! SO BIG! (cue that's-what-she-said joke). Compared to NYC oysters, these babies looked like they were on steroids! They also have this dipping sauce (had onions and was really vinegar-y, but good. But if you don't like the sour, you should just take the oyster straight.) Didn't eat anything else from other stands because we just had lunch. However, I believe they had shish kebabs, crepes, and bread. Oh and FYI - Sheridans Cheesemongers was there (saw this place on Anthony Bourdain when he went to Dublin so thought this might be worth mentioning). Definitely check out this farmer's market!

This is a very small market with mostly prepared foods. If we were staying in a place with a kitchen or refrigerator, we'd have taken advantage of the cheeses, breads and jams. There was also a stall of vegetables and one of fruit. Probably not big enough to supply all your food for a week, it is big and varied enough for a nice picnic or stuff to make a simple dinner at home.

Smaller than anticipated with a dozen or so vendors, this market can still be a one stop shop for a nice meal or grocery list of fresh produce. One stall offers Galloway oysters on the half shell with white wine and an excellent mignonette. Other food to be enjoyed at the market included burgers, Indian, pulled pork sandwiches, quiche, sandwiches, Chinese, and delectable looking desserts. Other vendor offerings included: organic cuts of meat, salami, artisinal cheeses, fresh bread, jams, organic nuts and dried fruits, hummus and other Mediterranean flavors, and an array of vegetables.

Great food market! Came here on a Saturday morning for some breakfast! My friends and I loved all the different stalls. Each stall had loads of food! My friend and I got crepes from the crepe truck. They were ham and cheese with other yummy fillings. They're were so so good! My other friend got a blueberry scone and my other got a spinach and cheese phyllo pie. We all loved our food! This is a great food market, definitely check it out!

It's hard to review a food market because it keeps changing, but this one is definitely worth a look. Because it's in Temple Bar it will always be relatively crowded and it will have a fair share of tourists, so some stalls will be aiming at getting at those pockets. But most are really honest great businesses that are proud of what they're selling. The Pork Box place (forgot the name!) is just outside the main market square and it's great. Get a big one if you're sticking with that, but I'd recommend sharing a small one with someone and then diving into the stuff inside. And inside you'll find anything from fresh oysters to a perfectly cooked burger. The shrimp skewers are great, the noodles I haven't tried but smell delicious, the crepes are awesome, the stall that sells the sausage sandwich should be forced to be open 24/7 and the butcher stall makes a killer burger! Once you're done eating, check out the veggie/fruit stand just outside, but most of all get something at the organic food stall. I would dare you to try one of their olives and not taking some home. The hummus and pesto is also divine. Just as a tip, that stall sells some Iberian stuff that is amazing: their chorizo is the best I've had in Dublin, and you can get real Portuguese canned tuna - yes, it's preserved in olive oil.

The Temple Bar farmers' market has me anticipating the next weekend as soon as Sunday comes. Though I don't go as regularly now (especially since I discovered the Co-op right in my neighbourhood, and since I'm in a Saturday morning class), it still charms me every time I do. I first came as a study abroad student with a hankering for organic fruit, and immediately bumped into Gus & Theresa Hernandez's Mero Mero Mexico stall. Gus and I bonded immediately over my Colorado Rockies baseball team (who were in the running towards the World Series at the time). Their burritos, the authentic Mexican way with potatoes and carrots, were not at all the American experience I knew, but the fajitas were great. Nowadays when I stop by I get a taco or, more often, just a jar of their beautiful chipotles en adobo. Gus heads straight to the source to get these beauties, going to Mexico himself to pick them out. I love the stories these two tell and I like feeling like I'm some sort of friends with them, even though I'm actually really a customer. McNally's, in the corner next to Mero Mero, is great as well - a small organic farm selling root vegetables, leaf vegetables, eggs, preserves and a couple of dairy products. Their stuff is a) generally a bit cheaper than Healy's and b) local (and therefore seasonal), while Healy's imports organic stuff from around the globe. In front of the Button Factory across the street, Healy's is great for its year-round choice, but always pings at my conscience - shouldn't "organic food" and "small carbon footprint" go hand-in-hand? Why fly apples from Chile when Llewellyn's manages to get them in Ireland? Same for carrots, potatoes, etc- things that I know can be grown here. I always go there for heirloom tomatoes, though. The bakery whose name I can't remember, who brings things in from Belfast, has amazing blueberry scones. They have white chocolate chips in them. Get there early to try one as they always sell out. I have to say I haven't tried the other bakeries' stuff, but not because I haven't been tempted. The cheese, oh, the cheese. Sheridan's is great as they're all so knowledgeable there and have a bigger shop off Grafton Street, and Paddy Jack is wonderful as they have so many other products as well (their farmer's lunch is nice, too- a lamb and cheese sandwich). Corleggy make their own. Please try the eponymous cheese. You've never known a goat cheese that tasted like this. If you want fish but don't want to trek to Howth, here's the place to get it. Again, get here before noon as this guy sells out early. The Real Olive Co does amazing stuffed olives and gorgeous salads, sold by weight. Llewellyn's apples are gorgeous things. My favourite's Jonagord. The flowers that are sold in summer are beautiful, too. The raw food stall's even higher-priced than the other places, but good for the food-allergic of many types. I once got a slice of cashew-cream cake for my friend who hasn't been able to eat cheesecake in years. She was in heaven. Last but not least of the stalls I try often is Karuna's Kitchen. Their chutneys are fantastic and their vegetarian food is so tasty. Just about anything you try there is a hit. Obviously I'm missing a few producers here, but that's a list of my faves. Please go up to the bright Mexican stall just to have a chat! If Gus says hello, don't think he's obligating you to buy his food; he's just genuinely friendly. Say hi back.

Perfect way to brighten up your Saturday. Go in just for a stroll, to buy some groceries, have lunch, or maybe just for a sweet and coffee al fresco. It's quite a small market, but there is something here for everybody, including a vegetarian food truck and a gelato cart! Don't forget that'll you find a couple more stands across the street, outside the Meeting House Square. It's relatively inexpensive if you're there just to grab a bite - for instance, a veal burger sets you back 7€, a burrito or a generous curry portion €6 and the seafood chowder €5, a single espresso is €1. On the other hand, if you want to buy stuff like chocolate, olive oil or cheeses, you'll find that these products are a bit more pricey, mainly because they're select imports or artisanal. I like to shop here for organic vegetables, like watercress or wild rocket, and also fresh herbs. I think it's a good place to visit if you're looking for some seasonal inspiration or maybe a special ingredient. It'd be perfect if there were some more places to sit while eating or just open spaces, but I understand that it's a small area and it gets crowded fairly easily. If you want to sit down and just watch the people go by, try the oyster bar and treat yourself to a glass of wine while you're at it :)

The Temple Bar Food Market is a great reason not to spend your Saturday in bed. It's also a fun way to get over a hangover. Head on over to Meeting House Square for some old fashion homemade cooking. There's lots of food to choose from: smoothies, curries, cheeses, sandwiches, etc. Prices are slightly higher than average but your money supports local producers.

You don't have to actually buy anything to enjoy wandering around the Temple Bar Food Market. There's a mellow buzz in the air and it's enjoyable just to take a side-step off the cobbles for a little while and enjoy the ambiance of Meeting House Square as customers mill, inspect and banter with the jolly marketeers. If you are a foodie and you're on the hunt for some organic, wholesome yumminess then you're likely to find it here. Along with all of the fruit'n'veg, there's also a stand for coffee connoisseurs (and those who are just those in need of a caffeine injection after a rough Friday night!) and two cheese stands for those in search of some creamy, stinky dairy. I also recall a stand where pesto and other colourful Italian oils and sauces were tempting.

I LOVE THIS MARKET. It's such a lovely way to spend your Saturday afternoon strolling around the cosy selection of stalls here. The atmosphere in general is really friendly and most vendors are very nice about giving out samples before you buy something so you're likely to come out positively stuffed after only buying one or two things! One really cool thing that I was tempted to buy (but I'm not sure if it's still there) is the 5 litre container of fizzy apple juice which you allow to ferment at home for 2weeks until it becomes cider! A very cool thing to try if I didn't have to lug it back on my bike.. Great selection of baked goods, artisan bread, cheese and olives in particular.

Smaller than I expected but mostly pretty decent vendors. The meat skewers were meh, but supposedly the sandwiches from the same vendor are good. Vendors were mostly pretty friendly, although one or two seemed indifferent. Bread, cheese, desserts, meat pies, locally made chocolate, raw oysters; it's a solid selection for such a small place.

There's so many sights, smells and tastes to be experienced at the Temple Bar Food Market. Bread! Cheese! Crêpes! Hot dogs! Fresh produce! Just about anything you can think of is offered by friendly people showcasing what they make best! As some of my fellow Yelpers have shared - it's definitely a motivator for getting out of bed on Saturday morning!

As a general fan of the food market phenemenon, this one takes the biscuit, if you'll excuse the pun. Temple Bar is always a hub of activity, and on Sundays, Meeting House Square is transformed into a food-lover's paradise. Since it's in the middle of town, it's generally fairly busy and has a good buzz, and the tenders are a friendly bunch, always up for a bit of banter. Grab yourself a bit of whatever takes your fancy and enjoy!!!

I've always really enjoyed browsing through the Temple Bar Food Market, and there's always something to take my fancy! The juicy apples in brown paper bags are quite the flavour of the month! There's a bit of an international food stall thing happening here, and it's nice to be able to choose from a variety of Indian, Japanese, French and the like. Although if you're having Japanese, make sure your miso soup isn't cold... mine was! There are way too many chocolate stores/bakery type stalls in this market for my inner health food addict's liking. My outdoor chocoholic is very happy with the situation, however.

Fresh food ahoy! Would be great if this was actually expanded as the choice is not huge, but the stalls that are there just leave you dribbling at the mouth and having to choose between the baked goods, the cheeses, the fresh fruit and Veg, the ciders, the seafood, basically all the fresh produce is HARD! So on second thoughts, maybe it's good the markets aren't bigger! My personal favourite is the cheeses mixed in with some of the gourmet breads sold there, such as olive bread or sun dried tomato bread. For the tourists, you can also get Guinness bread, which is sure to be a winner. Last time I visited here over the weekend it was quite chilly out, but for the approaching summer days it would actually be great to have some more benches and the likes to sit on, as opposed to just the seats offered by a small amount of the food providers so that you could enjoy your food amongst the market vibe, before stepping out again onto the hustle and bustle that is Temple Bar on any given Saturday

I only came in for a look and to kill time while I waited for a nearby juice order to be prepared, but I ended up coming away with a sausage roll, a bottle of cider, a tub of natural yoghurt and a selection of artisan cheese! I've dipped in and out of the Temple Bar Food Market semi-regularly since it's inception and I really don't know why I don't get back here more often. There is a wide range of ready to eat foods and drinks, such as oysters, wine, sausage, coffee, juices, cakes etc. As well as take away foods such as veg, bread, eggs, cheese, olives, jams, yoghurts... You get the idea. All of it good quality, locally prepared stuff. The Meeting House Square umbrellas were open today, so the whole place was sheltered from the rain when heavens opened. Highly recommended.

Great way to start the morning. Had a smoothie and wondered off to each stand. They had a great variety of olives, and cheese. They even had a taco stand. Unfortunately we didn't get to taste them since they were just setting up. Would go bac

Oh how I love food markets and the one in Temple Bar is one of my favourites! The stalls are from all over the country and the food is always tasty and fresh and there is a lot of emphasis on organic and free range and healthy choices which I love! To buy your groceries here is well expensive but for a few luxury items like wine, cheese, breads and spreads it is well worth it. It is also great for a bite to eat like crepes, waffles and a coffee or some fresh Mexican food made right in front of you!

This Market was not at all what I was expecting, but that doesn't mean it wasn't awesome! I thought it would be easy to find, and I thought it would be big, it's neither but it IS a gem and definitely worth visiting! Tucked in a small square between buildings under a canopy, there are maybe 20 stalls with everything from street food to produce, meats to sweets, everything artisanal and most ticking all of today's crucial boxes: organic, local, gluten-free, vegan etc. The food all smells delicious (burritos, sushi, sandwiches, crepes, oysters...) but be prepared to stand and eat, or take it with you on the go, there is very little seating and what is available is always full. But it is street food so it's not that inconvenient, and the square is secluded and under a canopy so it's still doable in bad weather. There is only a bit of produce, some organic veg, Irish apples, a selection of bread and baked goods, olives and pesto, meat and cheese, fresh juice. Definitely worth stopping by for lunch on Saturday, and/or to shop for a few specialty items/treats. Great prices and selection even though there are only a few stalls, and everyone is very friendly and helpful. From now on our Saturdays will always include a visit to the Food Market! You can see the full list of vendors here: http://www.templebar.ie/markets/article/temple-bar-food-market If you go unprepared (like us) stop by the tourist center at Temple Bar Square, they can show you on a map that it's just two blocks over. It's good to take the path down Curved Street (there are some extra stalls there too) then take the narrow corridor across the street down to Meeting House Square, it might seem shady but the market is at the other end, promise!

I am torn about the stars. I live nearby and have been there many times. The atmosphere is great, busy, and there are a few gems. I give full 5 stars to the cheesemongers who offer a nice array of delightful irish cheeses, the juice bar, the oyster bar, the pork and the skewered guys (although they tend to overcook the meat). The rest however is grossly overpriced and quite average in quality. I see the word fresh bread, but the bread is definitely not so. Food is overly greasy, tired and pretentious. I had another go today and picked 3 new items from the middle stall in the market, the bags were soaked in grease in no time (even dessert!) and flavor was lacking.

You get to know the brands to expect at food fairs like this throughout Dublin. The bakeries, the organic jam masters, the fruit stalls; the pop-up coffee stands and crepes. Yep, it's all here. But, casting cynicism aside, catch this market on a perfect summer afternoon and it's pure magic. There's tasty grilling going on with hot sausages and skewers, fresh baked treats (I fondly remember a loaf of coran bread bought here that was denser than dark matter and stuffed with peppers, onions and other savouries). There's coffee, there's crowds, and lots of stands offering fresh, Irish food. It's not cheap, it's not always pretty, but secreted away in that little square beside Temple Bar, it just feels right.

There's no better way to start your weekend in Dublin. Get some olives, some organic natural yogurt, any scone or cronut... whatever floats your boat. Then you can go to the IFI Shop to look for some sale DVDs... after that you should stop for lunch at Yamamori... ooops, I'm doing it again. How am I supposed to save some money?!

If I'm ever in town on a Saturday morning, I always try to make it here for some brunch. I discovered it by accident strolling around temple bar while doing some xmas shopping in November and just thought that it was amazing. Its quite small but saying that, every stand is completely different so theres lots to choose from including gelato, crepes, smoothies, juices, oysters, pulled pork, bakery, pies, mexican food and artisan chocolate to name a few. I really love their crepes stand, 'Crepes in the City'. I usually opt for the savoury crepe with honey glazed ham, cheddar, sundries tomato pesto and spinach with a good dash of pepper! So so good. Recommended gem!

There's nothing more to say than I could LIVE at this market and be content for all time. We were warned that Ireland might be lacking in cuisine, but after a visit to this gem on our second day in town, our worries were soothed and we spent the rest of the trip talking about all the things we ate here. My eyes were bigger than my stomach, but fortunately I arrived with two sisters in tow, so between us, we were able to get a fairly thorough sampling of the spread. In all, I remember tasting a scone, a taco, fresh yogurt, multiple cheeses, a quiche, alcoholic apple cider, olives, and a few other treats. There's simply nothing better than freshly prepared and locally grown food served up by the hard-working people who make it. As a self-admitted farmers' market enthusiast, I've been to more than my share of similar setups and can honestly say I have never been more excited to find an artisan gathering than I was on this day. It's lively, the size is just perfect, it's actually in a quaint square rather than on a sprawling street, and the people were delightful. All the vendors were so friendly and adorable. I developed an instant crush on the apple cider guy, and I might be destined for a career in cheese mongering down the line. In all seriousness, I rarely gush about an experience, but this place has my highest praise and I would go back to Dublin solely to revisit it.

They now have covering! Back to their old area and set up so its perfect again! I think I have eaten everything they offer vegetarian.

A great way to spend a sunny afternoon browsing the stalls in Meeting House Square. As other reviewers mention, you can grab a quick lunch here, do your hipster organic grocery shop or buy some treats to enjoy back home. There's a good selection of the latter so here are my tried-and-tested: Corleggy Cheeses - Coolattin cheddar and Wicklow blue (brie style)... if I could get full wheels of them, I would! And I'm lactose intolerant ;) Piece of Cake - Lemon and coconut cheesecake, cheese soda bread - so good lightly toasted with lashings of butter Real Olive Co. - Chili and coriander olives (they are giant, you won't miss them!) It's your choice of your lips over your hips! ;)

Fantastic place to eat Spanish food, I love the calamari! The atmosphere is so cool. Perfect to have a dinner on Saturday night!

This place is pretty cool i must say they have a great selection of foods and its a unique selection. all there stuff is fresh and you will enjoy eating it. There hummus and pate does be amazing on a bit of bread. Some really nice staff on the stalls i havnt went to all them but the ones i have tried have been great.

I think I am going to cry. Because when I leave Dublin, I will have nowhere to spend all my money on delicious food every Saturday. This place is seriously very dangerous for me. And I mean that in the best way possible. Some of my favorite stalls: Corleggy Cheeses (the cheese sampler box is so amazing and lasts me for days of cheesy pleasure on only 5 euro! any of the cheese at any of the stalls is great though. I just prefer the whole raw milk thing.) Piece of Cake (why is that potato cake so delicious and how can I make it? Get any of their gluten free cakes!! Perfect!) the apple stand (the most ideal apples. this is what Adam and Eve couldn't resist.) the juice bar (because the only thing I love more than juice is wine. and I can't drink wine on the street at 10:30am) the stall with the lamb (lamb and brie and greens on soft olive bread! oh my! Also my favorite people work here. The guy is a character.) I Love Olives (if you are having a party please serve me a lot of everything from here) the raw food stall (great great great options. Salad, crackers, trail mix, hummus, chocolate, trail mix. I hover around this stall like it's my job. The guy seems to get a little annoyed.) Also at the market: more fresh fruit and veggies, more bread, more dairy, more meat, crepes, oysters, coffee, and maybe some of the best ethnic food in Ireland (mexican, japanese, and Indian). I want to take it all home with me!!

I love food markets. I love supporting the localvore movement. I love the idea of small vendors selling items that are made a short distance away. This place has all of that. Artisan breads, cheeses, patés, sauces, and more can be found here every Saturday morning. Nothing beats a stroll through to get some of those hard to find bits for your kitchen.

4 stars because it's not as big as Howth...and there aren't as many free samples! Some interesting stalls here though. I love the olive stand (from the English Market in Cork)-they have a huge selection with samples and do delicious butterbean salad and cheeses. There's also a raw food type stand with interesting beansprout things, genuinely tasty hummus and surprisingly nice raw chocolate and things. They are nestled in among yummy cake and bread stalls selling brownies, scones, French pastries etc. Fresh fruit and veg are across the alleyway with lots of local produce. The whole square smells delicious and it's hard to walk through there without succumbing to the temptations. But considering it's on a Saturday I think that's completely justified. It's the perfect antidote to the bedlam of Saturday shopping in the city. And enough of the food is homemade or organic to convince you that it's kind of good for you :-)

Very central (hey... We're talking temple bar square here...) On a nice sunny Saturday afternoon, passed the market and it's aromas proved to be irresistible. Given a musician was playing in the ally of the Meeting House Square it was just perfect.

Most Saturday's, you'll see people walking and sitting around Temple Bar, happily munching away on all sorts of snacks and delicacies. The reason for this is the Temple Bar Food Market, a organic food market in the middle of Temple Bar, on Meeting House Sq. Great option when you are looking for a light lunch or a break from shopping. Of course you can also stock organic cheese, fresh vegetables and other items for later consumption.

Love the market. You can find here most of the stands you can see in Dun Laoghaire, loads of fresh and local food, some cooked food as well. Great to see Natasha Living Food stand. Will definitely come back!

Great way to spend a Saturday, rain or shine. I've been coming here for years and it never gets old, always a great atmosphere, great food and new things to try out. The different flavours mix really well, and the experience varies depending on your intent. All of the sellers are geared towards something, some focus on selling for later use, others for immediate use, but all of them sell something that you can bring home and enjoy with friends. After a few years coming here, my staples include oysters with Stephen, the Pacific ones are great, the Irish ones are better, though the taste does remind me of wiping out on the waves in Bundorran. I sit down with a half dozen, array of condiments and a glass of wine, and the layout means I end up talking to some random people from completely different walks of life and age ranges, with some of whom I've become good friends. Silka's Corleggy cheese is another long time favourite, with a wide array of cheddars and cheeses, from every animal with nipples (I've got nipples, Greg). Don't worry if you've never tried it, they'll let you sample it there and then. I recommend Coolaten cheddar and a goat's cheese log. Next, I pop next door to the Real Olive Oil Company and choose between their monstrous selection of food. I like to get a tub of mixed olives, enough for 3 people, a tub of green olives, pitted and filled with red peppers, a tub of anchovies in a bath of indescribable loveliness, some sun-dried tomatoes, and a tub of butter beans, all for less than the price of a date to the cinema. Perhaps I might throw in a cup of mulled apple wine, spiced and heated to taste like Christmas in a cup. Perhaps a vegan Somosa from the Happy Hari Company, who always inquire if this means I'm vegan, as I stand there in a leather jacket, leather boots, with a leather satchel on my side. A hefty helping of somosa with a side of cherry pepper chutney is all a growing boy needs. Lastly, I will stop over to Paddy Jack, the 6-foot something, epically large, modern day cowboy (he even has the hat) to see what he has in store for me today. First it was horse meat skewers, slightly tough but really good, then he came along with horse milk, though I'm ashamed to say I didn't have the courage to try it out. Just ask him the special and prepare to be intrigued, and possibly a little frightened too. A really great day out, and always something new to experience.

Not huge, but one of my favorite food markets in the world. Always has a nice spectrum of options and everything I have purchased here has been of great quality.

The best thing about this place is the oyster bar. Amazing oysters and I will keep coming back again and again :-)))

Enjoy swinging by on a Saturday afternoon when in town, even if it is just for a coffee and a wander around the stalls. Always a good buzz about the place especially on a fine day. Stall owners are always very friendly and helpful in explaining their produce.

Really great Market in the heart of Dublin. Really enjoyed all the food sampled on the day.

my four stars is prompted by the new location.. ever since the new archaeological viking dig in Temple Bar Meeting House Square, the food market has had to come out of its little nest and spread along the streets and join up with the Cow's Lane Fashion & Design market and i think it's the best thing ever! it gives a great vibe to the whole area and more variety to the stalls - i hope the dig goes on forever!
