These 5 Delicious Dublin Eateries Are Also Totally Buggy-Friendly

Schlepping a buggy around town can be difficult at the best of times but when it comes to grabbing a bite to eat, it can be a proper ordeal. Are there steps? Is there a lift? Is there space at the table? Will we be in the way? Are there changing facilities? When you have a buggy in tow, there’s a lot more to factor in than cold-pressed coffee and gluten-free options. To help you on your way, we’ve picked some of our favourite buggy-friendly lunch spots in Dublin City: AVOCA, Suffolk Street Friendly staff, delicious food and a lift to the restaurant. We give it two thumbs up. The selection of cakes is unrivaled and they offer lunch options for kids, as well as cute cookies and rice krispie treats. SOPHIE’S @ The Dean, Harcourt Street Sophie’s restaurant at The Dean hotel is one of the city’s latest 'it' joints. There's a distinctly grown-up vibe but if you pop along for brunch at the weekend, you and the kids will be well catered for with porridge and berries for the little people and delicious eggs Benedict for the big people. With great food, gorgeous views of the city, plenty of buggy space and changing facilities downstairs, it may just become our regular lunch-date haunt. THE NATIONAL GALLERY CAFÉ & RESTAURANT, Merrion Square The café at the National Gallery on Merrion Square is a great place to bring the family. Soak in a little culture and treat yourselves to some lunch with ample space for a pram or a high chair if you need it. Good coffee, hot dishes and healthy snacks for children, it's a good day out for all. CLODAGH’S KITCHEN, ARNOTTS, Henry Street Bright, spacious and affordable, this is a great option if you’re north of the Liffey, with some delicious sea food options for you and a choice of soups suitable for baby. Arnotts also has great changing facilities and a room for nursing mums. KC PEACHES, Nassau Street A handy spot for something quick and tasty, with a brilliant range of healthy options covering all dietary requirements . There's lots of room for buggies and a lift downstairs to the changing area.
