Aside from usual fast food outlets, O'Connell Street has a wide variety of restaurants and cafes where you can pop in for lunch or dinner or even a sweet treat and a cup of coffee. No more traipsing down side streets and alleyways looking to keep hunger at bay. Here are some spots on O'Connell Street where you can fill up with a decent feed...
