Fish and chips is the great Irish equalizer: everyone eats it, nobody agrees where to get it, and the price depends entirely on how close you are to the sea and how nice the tablecloth is. We went through 12 Dublin menus to see what you actually pay.
The cheapest is Fish & Chips at Sparks Bistro for €17.95. The dearest is Fish & Chips at Gallagher's Boxty House for €28.00, which is 1.6 times as much for what is, let us be honest, battered fish and a pile of chips.
The median is €22.48. Anything much above it is paying for the view, the wine list, or both. The full ranking is below.

How we did this
- Prices come from each venue's own published menu, collected October to November 2026. Menus change, so check with the venue before you go.
- We cover the Dublin venues on MenuGander that list fish and chips. This is not every chippy or pub in the city, and it is not a Dublin-wide average.
- Portion sizes, fish type and sides differ between venues, so this compares menu prices, not value for money.
- Where a venue lists the dish on several menus, the ranking uses its lowest price and every price is shown in the full list.
- Photos are illustrative and are not the venues' own dishes.
