A gorgeous Autumn day in Dublin, prompted me to hopping on my bike and making the cycle along Griffith Avenue to the Honest 2 Goodness Indoor Market in Glasnevin. Having read a bit about the market online I brought my shopping bag with me so I could thrown in a few goodies.
They had a bike rack inside the market and I was welcomed by Bríd who runs the market. She was so friendlly to me and very informative on all the stalls and products on sale in the market and then let me get on with exploring.
The array of stalls is excellent and this market seems to have the right balance between a place to do your shopping and also a place to enjoy an afternoon browsing.
I purchased a sholuder of Lamb from a farmer based near Oldcastle in Co. Meath. I bought some fresh veg which were excellent value. I bought some sea bass from a fishmonger from Galway and I bought a tub of the curry Dhanzak Curry sauce which even has the Weight Watchers points marked out for you. Dhanzak is a healthy 2 point.
All of the stalls had informative friendly and passionate people working behind them who allowed you to browse without being anyway pushy.
After my shopping I then enjoyed some homemade soup with some lovely bread for 2 euro 50 and a gorgeous cup of coffee for 2 euro. Great value, and a huge library of magazines and books to browse as you enjoy your coffee. They also sell cakes, and a main meal and a selection of teas. There was also a charity bookstall and the selected charity this week was Our Ladys Childrens Hospital.
All in all a great Saturday afternoon well spent. I would highlly recommend anybody to check this market out.
Oh the cycle back through the leave covered Griffith Ave. was gorgeous and reminded me of Boston this time last year. The colours were amazing. -

On the food trail again.
Love this relatively new indoor market in Glasnevin. At last a descent market in North Dublin that is indoors and housed in two really clean and appealing warehouses. Great selection and diversity of stalls where you can get the family weekend Meat, fish, veg and treats.
There is a selection of traders, from artisan bakers to Fish merchants , Butchers , Chocolate and many more. It's great to see new foods coming to the North side especially Tropical Oils Europe for their diverse selection of healthy and nutritional foods, whom I know from Leopardstown Market and Dublin Food Co-op, Indian Spice Company, and of course Brid who runs the show and operates the Pantry.
Good selection of classic wines and cheeses as well as Organic Dairy products including Raw Milk not pasturised.
The Meat counter is amazing with traceability from Field to Fork, the dry cured back rashers were awesome, I had given up on getting a descent rasher in Dublin, but these guys know how to make the bacon. Delicious Bacon butty on Sunday morning thought I had died and gone to heaven - just Yum!.
Hope this market gets support from the locals as it was definitely worth the trip from Greystones in search of new markets and exciting fresh food.
Checkout the Cafe in the warehouse next door great to chill and relax in, after the shopping was done. -

I didn't know this place existed untill Saturday, we were in one of the local furniture shops and saw the signs so stopped to have a look. It's great, lots of good fresh food and there is a lovely Cafe. The Cafe is strangely homely and comfy with its mish mash of chairs and welcoming signs everywhere. I say strange because it is in a warehouse unit!
Anyway all the vendors in the market were very friendly with plenty of opportunity to taste before you buy.
We'll be back!
