Limerick Street Food

Limerick City


When summer comes around, Wednesday lunchtime sees a row of street-food stalls blossom along the Limerick boardwalk. Enjoy anything from Thai curry to Korean kimchi to US-style barbecue in an attractive riverside setting. During the rest of the week, a couple of stalls operate at Urban Garden at the north end of O'Connell St, between Sarsfield and Denmark Sts.
