Hearty food in the heart of Dublin - Edit
Not the greatest selection of vegan food but what they do have is hearty and deliciously warming also a great salad bar. Nice atmosphere cosy and usually always busy. It’s the perfect place to drop in for lunch on a rainy day (which in Dublin is often) will return again soon
Read morePros: Warm comforting heathy food, Quick service, Great salad bar
Cons: Busy , Mostly vegetarian could do with more vegan option

The times they are a changing! - Edit
Arrived a little before the noon Sunday evening so wandered up the road. On the way back some 5 minutes later we were greeted by a queue outside the restaurant. So we knew something was afoot. I had the vegan stir fry which was good if a little cold. The service was wonderful and friendly. The whole set up was very casual with good food. Who would have thought you would have to form a queue outside a vegan restaurant though! The times they are a changing. Good quality vegan food and very reasonable prices. Recommended!

Real deal - Edit
This place is the real deal. Seems to me it's modeled off of Claire's Cornucopia which was an early vegetarian restaurant in New Haven CT. Same style, daily specials plus sandwiches and salads. Vegan is marked The roasted cauliflower soup was incredibly portions are large. Great place bb

A warm hug - Edit
This place is like a warm hug for me; a haven I've enjoyed for over a decade. The portions are so big that I often get the side salads to go and they do me for lunch the next day. Cornucopia is a Southside institution whereas I'd go to WokeCup if on the Northside.

Good enough - Edit
Food is good enough, considering is kind of canteen style where everything is already cooked and ready to be served which means it could have been cooked a minute or an hour before. They have a big selections of cakes.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options
Cons: 15 euros for a plate it's on the expensive side.

Great food, friendly staff. GO HERE! - Edit
Delicous food. Lots of variety, even for breakfast. Vast majority of food is vegan, menu changes daily (it seems) and when I was there there were a couple breakfast options that contained eggs and one dinner item with cheese but otherwise all vegan. Allergy friendly with lots of gluten-free items for those who need them. Highly recommend it.
Read moreCons: No table service (if that matters to you)

a lot of choice - Edit
The amount of choice was lovely! It was really filling (a main and two side salads), i even had trouble finishing, but I got a take away bag. Nice and relaxed atmosphere, and it was fast.

Options! - Edit
Lots of clearly marked options. Since the menu changes daily, it's nice that they have a menu outside that they change every day so you know what they're offering up before you go in. Lots of space, good food, treats, and quick service.

Many options & Large portions - Edit
We had a really nice lunch here today. Staff is great, the soup was delish, cannelloni and crumble as well (meat eater couldn’t tell the difference with real meat&cheese!) strongly recommend for lunch.

Top spot for vegans - Edit
We went here a couple of times for lunch. A choice of 6 dishes plus any 2 from 6 salads makes a great selection. Over two meals we had potato pie, spanakopita, potato cake and soup along with a range of salads and drinks (soft, beer and wine available). It can get very busy and at one point the queue was going out the door so best to arrive early for lunch.

They know their soup. - Edit
Only got the main dish here once and it was so-so. The soup and salad combo is amazing however. The soup especially is great. The queueing is also a pain and it is difficult to read the menu; very confusing the first time!
Read moreOh, and the bathrooms are not pleasent.
Certainly not the best veg cuisine in the world but probably the best in Dublin
EDIT: This place is somewhere I continue to go regularly and they have improved significantly. Toilets are no longer and issue, there's lovely seating. Food it great and there are more option (garlic potato salad is always a winner though). Still think the queueing system is offputting though!

Absolutely delicious - Edit
The food was reaaally good. It's a self-service restaurant, so you get your food while you order! Perfect for when you're really hungry. You get to choose from 6 main course dishes and 6 salads, from which 5 are vegan. I paid €16 for a main course with 2 salads and a drink.

Not really that hungry but went anyway :) - Edit
We just had our third portion of vegan sushi in a couple of days. The dot of wasabi might not pack a punch, but the dish is really tasty. Had some lasagna and moussaka here as well. It can't top my homemade moussaka (which is better because there's no coriander in it ;)), but it's delicious anyway!

Amazing, real, healthy, delicious, satisfying food. - Edit
I ended up eating at this restaurant for almost every meal during my stay in Dublin because it was so good. I absolutely loved the upstairs eating area, decor, and the location. The food is delicious, satisfying yet not overly filling, healthy and so tasty! The portions are very generous and so many to choose from. The only downside for me was that I arrived before breakfast had ended yet all the food was finished, they did not have lunch ready so they shrugged suggesting I wait a half hour before ordering anything.other than that occasion the staff were lovely and friendly.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan , Lots of gluten/wheat free food , Organic/local/high quality ingredients
Cons: No breakfast left if you don’t arrive early
