Leo Burdock’s is a Dublin institution, a tiny, no-frills fish and chip shop that has been frying since 1913. It’s located on Werburgh Street, just a short walk from Christ Church Cathedral and Dublin Castle, and is famous for its simple, perfectly cooked fish in crispy batter and generous portions of chips. The shop itself is small, with a counter and a few stools, and there’s often a queue out the door, a testament to its enduring popularity. It’s the quintessential Dublin chipper experience.
For a family lunch, Leo Burdock’s is a fun, casual stop that’s all about the food—no fuss, just great fish and chips. Kids love the simplicity and the taste, and it’s a budget-friendly option that feels like a treat. The long history and legendary status make it a must-visit for anyone wanting an authentic Dublin experience. You can eat on the go, or take your food to a nearby park or the cathedral grounds for a picnic.
