Date night? 8 restaurants in Dublin that WON'T break the bank
Dates nights are few and far between for most of us parents, mainly due to a lack of babysitter and/ or money.
But spending time with your other half is important for your relationship, and while we can't help with the babysitter part… we can help you with the cost.
If you fancy something nice to eat (and are running low on funds), the following eight affordable Dublin restaurants are ideal.
1. Featherblade
A great steak usually comes at a pretty heafty price; but in Featherblade you can get a delicious, juicy steak for as little as €13 – bulk with up with a few of their fab sides and you're laughing.
This cosy restaurant is like Love Actually: a classic that never disappoints. With the evening French bistro menu, you can enjoy two courses for €20, and their beef cheek Bourguignon and crème brûlée will make you feel like a million bucks!
3. The Fumbally
Coming in at a very reasonable €6, the Fumbally eggs give pricey brunch places a run for their money – and they taste DIVINE. Perfect for day dates.
4. Bunsen
While Cork can now rejoice to have their own joint, Dubliners have been loving Bunsen’s tasty burgers – all under €10 – for quite a while. Rightfully so.
Hidden inside the Bernard Shaw, this place delivers some seriously tasty pizza that you can enjoy sitting on the boot of a really cool 1979 double decker bus. From Monday to Friday 5 to 7pm, a pizza and a pint will only cost you €12.
6. Octopussy
In the Howth harbour, Octopussy looks like a cute fisherman’s shed and offers the freshest and most delicious seafood. With their early bird menu, you can enjoy two “tapas” dishes and a glass or wine for €17 per person. An absolute bargain!
7. Bow Lane
This late night cocktail bar on Aungier Street offers an early bird menu with amazing value. With two courses for €19.50 and three courses for €24.50, you can enjoy a pork belly, a pan-fried fillet of hake and a dark chocolate pavé with zero-guilt!
8. Chez Max
This traditional French brasserie on Baggot Street serves homemade French dishes with a Parisian flair. For €19 per person, the early bird menu includes the likes of a soupe à l’oignon, delicious escargots and a bœuf Bourguignon. That's really a cheap trip to the City of Light.
