Ahora todo es vegano - Edit
Tienen muchísimas opciones, y es el único restaurante 100% vegano en Dublín. Funciona tipo self-service, haces cola nada más entrar, eliges la comida (puede ser menú con entrante, plato principal y postre, o elegir lo que quieras), te lo van poniendo en la bandeja conforme avanzas, pagas y buscas un sitio. Tienen 3 plantas con mesas y sillas. Comimos sopa de boniato, lasaña, pasta pesto con boloñesa de tofu y un pastelito de almendra y pistacho, todo muy rico.
Read morePros: Pastelito, Lasaña, Gran cantidad de sitio
Cons: Es complicado subir con las bandejas

Hola, solo para decir que la comida aquí es vegana, pero la leche láctea y la mantequilla todavía están en el menú y debes aclarar en tu pedido si quieres leche de origen vegetal.

Hi, just to say that the food is vegan here but dairy milk and butter is still on the menu and you have to clarify in your order if you want plant based milk

Fantastic place for breakfast, lunch, dinner of a drink - Edit
All the food is vegan so that’s good to know. They have cow milk and butter so that’s why it is not totally vegan. The restaurant is self -catering with more than enough space (also upstairs). Every day there new options on the menu. We went there 3 days in a row. The food is homemade and healthy

The sausage rolls are to die for! - Edit
Grabbed a quick Brekky here this morning before we set off on our day in Dublin. Staff were very lovely and super helpful. Everything currently being served was vegan which was amazing! We grabbed the scrambled tofu and a couple of seitan sausage rolls.
Read moreThe rolls were flippin fantastic! They’re served with a side of chutney and the flavour combo and texture were so, so good!
The scrambled tofu had very familiar flavours and felt very homely, like a good home cooked meal. Would absolutely come here again for Brekky!
Update:
So as it turns out, Ireland’s vegan restaurant scene has absolutely collapsed so our food options were limited, hence why we got a real late lunch/early dinner at cornucopia tonight. We got stroganoff and spanakopita, the stroganoff was frikken elite. Snapped a couple of pics for your perusal! Defs recommend as both a place for Brekky, lunch and dinner. Legends these folks are!

Wow! - Edit
This place was highly recommended and did not disappoint. At first I thought it was a bit pricey but the portion sizes are very generous, great value. Got one of the regular plate meals and I couldn’t finish everything. Delicious, comforting, whole foods.

Gorgeous place - Edit
We really enjoyed our visit to Cornucopia. They had lots of options but I went for the moussaka and my husband had the bean stew and tomato soup. Everything was wholefood plant based, fresh and delicious! It is canteen style service, so you take your tray up to the counter and can have a look at all the options before choosing. The moussaka also came with two salad accompaniments, from which you can choose from several. The restaurant itself is in a beautiful old Georgian building with original features over three floors. Looking forward to visiting again!

Delicious and cozy - Edit
We were in Dublin for 5 days and visited Cornucopia 5 times... The food was delicious, the atmosphere was really lovely, and the service was great. Especially travelling and eating out lots, it was exactly what I needed (healthy but filling, with plenty of vegetables, and good value for money). Would definitely recommend a visit, even my non-vegan friend was raving about it.

Amazing Vegan Food! - Edit
A cozy little restaurant with a huge variety of vegan food and drinks, including Irish coffee and soft serve ice cream! All the food is made fresh and according to some recipes inspired by cultures around the world. It's not just basic dishes with plant based substitutes. During my stay in Dublin I came twice. That's how good it is! You can get something small and light or fill a tray with a big meal. They do offer dairy milk and butter (idk why) but everything else is all vegan.

Cons: Offers dairy products

Great fresh food - Edit
Update October 2024: be careful as the sign now says that their food is now fully vegan, but I was surprised to be asked if I wanted 'regular milk' with my hot chocolate.
Read moreI had added this to my list to try on happy cow based on the glowing reviews, but additionally got 3 real life recommendations which hardly ever happens so I knew I had to come here. I now come here fairly regularly! I really enjoy eating fresh tasty vegan food here in this meat free and mostly vegan (serves milk) restaurant. The main meal is a choice of a main course and either 2 salads or soup with a slice of bread. Mains I've tried include the potato cake, the lasagne, and the stroganoff. Potato cake had been my favourite until I tried the stroganoff! All very flavourful. For the salads, the potato salad is some of the best I've ever had.
It's very popular especially at peak times but there's 3 floors of seating so you shouldn't be too stuck for a table, depending on the size of your group. One day I came here with a group on 5 on a Saturday at 4pm and we were not able to find a table and had to leave which was very disappointing.
The main downside is that you have to carry your own (heavy) tray of food and climb the narrow steep stairs as you search for a table, which is tricky, especially if others are coming downstairs against you.
The period detail of the building and decor is lovely, especially on the second floor. Staff is friendly.

International vegan food - Edit
All the food is vegan, but puzzingly the restaurant carries cow's milk for coffee. ... just why.
Read moreRegardless, the food was pretty great. Personally loved the coleslaw and moussaka. Coleslaw was the right level of tangy and fresh, and the moussaka had a good but not overwhelming layer of mashed potato on the top. The portions are huge though, be adviced.
From the photos I thought it was self serve, but it's not.
There are 3 levels of dining rooms but I found it pretty stressful trying to find a table. You can order drinks from your table and trays get bussed, though you do have to carry your tray when you first get it and the plates plus food are pretty heavy going up 3 flights of stairs.

Fantastic find! Beautiful food, service and atmosphere! - Edit
We are always looking to support fully vegan restaurants when traveling and this one is fantastic. We came in hungry after a long flight. The options were wonderful and service and atmosphere were really great. It’s the kind of style where you can see all of the options, pick what you want, and they serve it to you. Loved the pie, which that day was cauliflower and tofu with mashed potatoes on top. the salads were excellent, really beautifully flavored and fresh. The soup was excellent. I love how they serve everything in big bowls with real silverware. Low waste! All in all, I would highly recommend.
