Breakfast is difficult- the full Irish breakfast is meat meat more meat and eggs. They will also have mushrooms and tomatoes. Hotels will probably have oatmeal (there was a really yummy golden syrup oatmeal at my hotel). Below is an overview of the delicious vegan meals I had outside of Dublin. Dublin meals in a different post.
I do not subscribe to the vegan alcohol aspect, so I do not know if all of the delicious cider I drank was vegan or not, but it was so fresh and tasty.
Howth
We went to the Abby Tavern. It has a good mixture of vegan, vegetarian, meat eater, and all sorts of allergy menus. I had the Stovetop Flatbread (Cherry Tomato Passata, Roast Cauliflower, Chickpea Croutons, and Sweet Potato Fries). And the best part is that it was edible. I personally didn't like it, but it just wasn't to my taste. The chickpea croutons were just dried chickpeas. I also had the Frozen Berries (Warm Vegan White Chocolate Sauce, Raspberry Sorbet, Pecan Vegan Praline). Now the sorbet was delicious! The frozen berries were just that- frozen berries. Odd, but still good. I still recommend this as an option because a place with decent menu options for all is hard to come by.
Malahide
Now this restaurant, was so tasty. It was also 30 euros for my meal. We ate at Siam Thai restaurant. I had the Yellow Curry (without the fish sauce): A mild and creamy yellow curry with coconut milk, onion, potatoes, pineapple and topped with fried onion, it’s very easy to eat, and is the mildest of the curries. I have never had tomatoes and pineapple in my yellow curry. But dang...it was so yummy! Afterwards, we walked to The Fish Shack and got ice cream and sorbet. So yummy! If you like Thai food or sorbet, these are a great place to go!
Athalone
We stopped at the Michelin recommended restaurant called Thyme. They don't upload their most recent menus, but the website and reviews said that they had a vegan option. So when we got there and they handed me the menu. I asked for their vegan options/allergen menu. The server looked at me that I was CRAZY. She said they don't have a vegan menu, but they might be able to make something for me, so she would as the chef. The chef said they could, so I had whatever he wanted to serve! I also finally took pictures of the food.
The three course menu was as follows:
Appetizer: salad with house pickled vegetables. Actually pretty yummy, even though I:m not a big pickle fan.
Main: Some sort of gnocchi and vegetable dish. The surprise- it was cold! The little beet red things around the side were so tasty!
Dessert: 3 types of sorbet- peach, rhubarb, and raspberry?
Shannon Airport
Two words for you here: good luck! You need to investigate the food closely. There was a pasta salad that had ham hidden in it. There was a spicy salad option.
Dublin Airport
Go to Marquette in Terminal 1. They have a hot vegan main option every day and numerous salads that are vegan as well. In Terminal 2, there is a breakfast option that has avocado toast (that you can get without the egg).
Dublin Hilton Airport Hotel
This is where I stayed (they were great while I was there, but they never sent me a receipt). Their breakfast did have the Full Irish Breakfast. They did have oatmeal as an option. They had a dinner with a superfood salad that was so utterly bland that I can't recommend you getting it unless you just need food that is somewhat healthy and don't care about taste.
