Worth a visit and lots of vegan choices - Edit
Tasty & wholesome food, 4 out of 5 main dishes were vegan and so were all the salads. I took the korma which was not particularly spicy plus a couple of nice sides salads. I was hungry which was just as well as the plate was stacked high. Possibly slightly expensive in total but it is central Dublin and quality is good.

Amazing food~ Great atmosphere - Edit
This place saved me while in Dublin. Ate every lunch and dinner here but one meal. Tremendous portions, great hot selection at least 5 entrees and super salads. Almost everything vegan, great selection of hot and cold drinks. Friendly knowledgable staff. Let you split order when it was too hard to choose. Enchiladas were amazing and their daily stew always a winner.
Read morePros: Great hot food selection, At least 8 salads to choose from, No cell or WiFi allowed
Cons: Can't think of any

My favourite and regular - Edit
I go here very often and am never disappointed. They have great selection of food, it's creative, delicious, and very filling. You get your money's worth too. Great for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Read moreI also noticed they have become increasingly vegan than vegetarian, it's great to see vegan food dominating the menu. They have some raw options as well with the soups and deserts. I love that they use a lot of vegetables and grains instead of relying on processed meat alternatives.
I always recommend Cornucopia in Dublin to everyone.
Pros: Delicious food, Inexpensive and filling, Vegetables and grains dominate the dishes

Nice restaurant in trendy Dublin area - Edit
Eating at Cornucopia was a treat. Arriving just before 12:00 we were still able to order from the breakfast menu, but they also offered us some items from the lunch menu.
Read moreI chose to have the Irish breakfast, and my mother had a salad bowl. For the Irish breakfast, you get to choose five items from the breakfast buffet, including: vegan sausage, beans, roasted mushrooms, sauteed red onions, vegan scrambled eggs (tofu based), quiche (dairy) and more that I'm forgetting. All of the dishes were tasty, but the tofu scrambled eggs and the sausage were my favorites. They have broken sauce available (similar to bbq sauce) - it went very well with the sausage. Along with the Irish breakfast you get a thick slice of their hearty bread and tea or coffee.
My mother's salad bowl contains a number of different salads, all vegan, and they were accommodating regarding food allergies and explained tous what she could and couldn't eat.
Cornucopia has a culture of "no wifi and sharing tables" - which we indeed benefitted from, as a lovely Dubliner joined us towards the end of our meal. She told us that she's been eating at Cornucopia since they opened 30(!) years ago, and is easy to understand why they have respect customers.
Despite other reviews here, we had prompt, efficient and friendly service.
Tip: eat upstairs in their Gregorian dining room. Its spacious, less busy, and beautiful.
Highly recommended. I've uploaded a photo of their lunch menu from the day we were there, but the menu changes daily.

Good, but not great - Edit
I'd heard so many good things about Cornucopia that I was expecting greatness. In fact I found it to be pretty standard canteen food - solid, but unspectacular. I had a potatoey pie and my partner had a maghmour stew, and they were both hearty portions.
Read moreIt was absolutely packed at about 1:30pm, with hardly any free seats and lots of people hovering nearby waiting, and the service was a bit confusing, so it wasn't an especially relaxing visit. If you're hungry it's worth popping in, but it won't be the culinary highlight of your trip to Dublin.

Very tasty - Edit
Went here for breakfast and I decided to try some of the vegan sausages with mushrooms. I had a vegan scone with that and some tea where I was offered a very wide selection of plant milks! My partner had the buttermilk pancakes and enjoyed these very much. I was very tempted by the vegan cupcakes at the counter which looked amazing!

So lovely! - Edit
It was my first time in Dublin and Cornucopia was the first place I found with vegetarian food, by accident. It quickly became the place I would come back to during my week in Dublin; not only because the food is delicious and they have a lot of variety, but for the lovely teas and nice drinks available as well. There was even one time I had the privilege to enjoy some nice live music while relaxing in one afternoon! Like this wasn't enough, the staff was so nice and with such good energy that all of this together created this curious and lovely atmosphere that gives you this kind of warmth inside when you come in, that you want to stay for some good time, even if you're there alone, like it was my case. WIll be back for sure, once I find myself in Dublin again!

Really liked the athomesphere here, it was cozy and chilled.
Read moreWe had a delicious brownie and a cranberry scone, as well as some salted caramel icecream and Team - all vegan.
It tasted pretty good and the stuff offered us soy yogurt for free to our pastries (instead of cream).
Would love to come back to check out some savoury stuff!

100% Vegan (almost) - Edit
Lovely canteen style restaurant, went there last night for dinner and I was surprised when I looked at the menu, all the options were Vegan and most of them GF. The food was really good, the main dishes come at 13.50€ with two salads included. Great choice of Vegan desserts as well.
Read moreWhen asked to one of the waiters about the non Vegan options she told me that only sometimes they make Quiche or add feta cheese to some salads.
Pros: Almost 100%vegan
Cons: still use animal products sometimes

Good price and loads of vegan options - Edit
Cornucopia has a lovely selection of hot and cold breakfasts for a decent price. The hot breakfast can be oily but you can easily avoid it if you choose wisely. Good coffee and all of their deserts are vegan. Staff are lovely. I’d definitely recommend it.
