On the corner of Liffey Street and Middle Abbey Street, The Epicurean Food Hall brought great excitement to this area of the city when it opened in1999 and is still a buzzy place. It's a collection of small units/dublin restaurants with a common seating area where you will find a wide range of international foods, mainly cooked to order and sold at very reasonable prices.
One of the longest established is La Corte (01 873 4200), one of the north river outposts of Stefano Crescenzi and David Izzo's smart Italian café (see entry), and traditionalists will be pleased to find a branch of Leo Burdock's, famous for their fish & chips.
The hall is open during the day every day (opens later on Sunday, remains open for late shoppers on Thursday evening); it's an enjoyable place to browse.
