Farmers Market in People's Park, Dún Laoghaire
With Dublin becoming increasingly multicultural, the number of eclectic markets and stalls dotted around the city has risen to new and exciting heights. Whether you’re looking to grab a great lunch on the go or some fresh produce, Dublin’s markets have something for all taste buds.

Here's our guide to some of Dublin city’s finest food markets and street vendors.

Weekday markets

Moore Street Market

Monday-Saturday (11am-5pm) | Off Henry Street, D1

Moore Street Market is an integral part of Dublin culture and the street itself is a true mix of old and new. High street shops sit adjacent to this traditional open air market where traders hawk their wares at stalls selling everything from flowers and fruit to novelty knitted hats. Listen out for the distinctive sound of street sellers shouting "four for a euro" and pick up a bargain in this authentic slice of the city. If you're in the city on a weekend, they also host a pop-up market with even more street vendors to enjoy.

This pop-up market sets up across multiple locations in the city so make sure to check their website for the latest lunchtime hotspot.
