Leo Burdock (Werburgh Street)
Leo Burdock
Dublin's oldest fish and chips shop, founded in 1913, with its flagship branch next to Christ Church Cathedral operating mainly as a takeaway.
Opened in 1913, this is known as Dublin's oldest fish and chips shop, with its flagship branch located at 2 Werburgh Street near Christ Church Cathedral. It operates almost exclusively as a takeaway, with its signature freshly fried cod and chips recently reported by customers to cost around €16–18. The significance of this shop lies more in its history; the 2026 local fish and chips rankings state frankly that while it is a famous spot, it is not the best in town. Open until late, it is perfect for grabbing a bite after visiting the cathedral or during an evening stroll, about a 10-minute walk from Temple Bar.
