You'll spot the queue before you see the shop front – that's your first clue you're approaching Dublin's most legendary chipper. Tucked near Christchurch Cathedral, this tiny spot has been battering cod and cutting chips since 1913, and the recipe clearly isn't broken enough to fix. The menu is refreshingly straightforward: fish, chips, and a handful of other classics done exceptionally well. The batter achieves that perfect balance of crispy exterior and flaky fish within, while the chips are proper golden batons, none of this skinny French nonsense. Yes, you'll likely wait, and yes, it's worth it. The staff work with the efficiency of a well-oiled machine, turning out orders at impressive speed despite the constant stream of punters.
