CHEAP FOOD IN DUBLIN: THE PERFECT PICNIC
Dublin has a great food scene, but it can be hard to find cheap food in Dublin. However, as a student visiting Dublin, one thing I have noticed is how you can get cheap food in Dublin from the local grocery stores. This post is going to give you a great recommendation for something to do while visiting Dublin & is going to help you pack the perfect picnic! This will help you find cheap food in Dublin and will give you a chance to check out St. Stephan’s Green, it’s a must see when visiting Dublin.
The first step in getting your cheap food in Dublin is to head to a local grocery store. The Tesco on Lower Baggot Street is the perfect location compared to St. Stephen’s Green, so I recommend heading there.
Here are the two on map!
To create the perfect picnic I recommend going charcuterie style. To start your list, make sure you grab:
Baguette (usually 1 euro)
Apples
Grapes
Your favorite cheese (gouda is always a crowd pleaser)
Deli style meet (salami is again a crowd pleaser)
This is a great base and feel free to grab anything else (some other great examples: chips & hummus, popcorn, mixed nuts, other fruits). I would also grab some drinks they have a great selection of juices or other sparkling drinks. These are all cheap food options and easy to carry to the park. Perfect picnic is done!
After collecting all of your yummy food head two blocks up and grab a seat on one of the many benches in the park! I recommend sitting near the ponds it’s a great view and pretty relaxing. Whether you are visiting Dublin as a tourist or are a local this is such an easy way to cheap food in Dublin!
