Self-Catering

Shopping

For budding chefs, there are several large food stores located within walking distance of the campus, in the Stephen's Green Shopping Centre and on Henry Street. There is also a Tesco store on Fleet Street and of course on campus there are the two Students' Union shops located in House 6 in the Front Square and beside the Hamilton Building for life's little emergencies. For those of you living in Goldsmith Hall, there is a convenience store beside the Dart Station. For residents of Trinity Hall, there are two large food stores located within walking distance - Dunnes Stores in the Swan Shopping Centre in Rathmines, and Tescos on Rathmines Road Upper. Both are open until late each evening. If you get the chance, check out the Temple Bar outdoor food market which is held on Saturdays in Meeting House Square. They have a great selection of organic foods, cheeses, meats, and ready cooked dishes. Alternatively there are some interesting food stalls in the old Corporation Fish Market located on the right hand side of George's Street as you head up from Dame Street.
