The best value dinners in Dublin

Eating out in Dublin doesn’t have to mean maxing out your credit card or surviving on bags of chips. Yes we know it feels like that lately but there are plenty of spots serving up legit incredible food that won’t break the bank - if you know where to look.

From early bird menus set up for a midweek treat to generous portions in the right places, from a full on night out to a casual bite, these places prove that good food doesn’t have to come with the heftiest of price tags...

Achara, Aston Quay

Achara keeps us coming back, not just for their Thai-inspired food, but also for the prices. Their three course early bird menu is €25 a head, running Monday to Fridays from 17:00 to 18:30, and for groups, the family-style sharing menu is €45 per person, with snacks, small plates, large plates to share, and dessert. We dare you to find a better option for your gang's next night out, although you could easily be undone by the excellent cocktail and wine list - you've been warned. Read our once over here.

777, George's Street

The king of the deal in Dublin is 777 on George's Street, running multiple days of the week. On Mondays, margaritas are two for €20, which is crazy good value considering they're normally €14 each. Tuesdays are for tacos where they offer two for €9 - enough said - and on Sundays, select menu items are €7.77.

Lucky's, The Liberties

Coke Lane pizza is the bomb dot com, and after a scan of all the reputable reliables in the capital, Lucky's have come in at the best value with their 10 inch margarita setting you back just over a tenner (€11.50 to be precise). The pies are hot, the beers are crafty, and there's jazz on Wednesdays.
