Meal times in Ireland
My fiancee and I will be visiting Ireland next October for our honeymoon. We will stay there for a couple of weeks, and we will stay both in cities, like Dublin and Galway, and smaller villages.
What are the usual meal times in Ireland? I don't want to be late for our dinner, and then starve all night long…
Best Answer
For dinner (in the evening) from 6 to 9ish is when people would start.
Lunch is around 12 noon to 2pm, with 1pm being the most popular.
Some restaurants may have "early bird" offers, where you can eat cheaper if you start (and hence finish) earlier (i.e. start before/at 5:30pm).
A restaurant might be open until midnight, but may not be serving food all night. The kitchen might close at 9:30 or 10pm (i.e. they won't cook you any food, so you can't turn up at 10pm and get dinner). If in doubt, ask the restaurant "When do you stop serving food?" or "When does the kitchen close?". Some places are open much later.
Many restaurants or cafes would be open for a long period in the afternoon, so you can always get a meal then. It just might be lonely sitting in a restaurant on your own. Conversely lunch/dinner, there might be no free space for you, since everyone else is eating around then.
