The following map shows the location of every restaurant highlighted in this post:
Mad Egg
Since opening their first location in 2018, Mad Egg have since expanded to three locations across Dublin. The fried chicken chain’s popularity is no surprise, given their commitment to serving local, free-range chicken and their painstaking, 48 hour-long seasoning process.
Mad Egg’s signature dish is their chicken burger, which comes in a range of styles to suit every taste, from lemon and herb to the hottest of hot sauce. Chicken and waffles are also on the menu for those looking for the perfect indulgent brunch.
Dessert lovers will also not be disappointed, as the restaurants ‘DIY cheesecake’, which comes with toppings picked by you, is one of the finest in Dublin.

Located on Dublin’s up-and-coming Aungier Street in the city centre, Chimac offers an intriguing twist on classic fried chicken with their Korean fried chicken offering. Koreans are so in love with the combination of fried chicken and cold beer that they created a word for the combo – ‘chee-mac’, from which Chimac takes its name.
The restaurant has taken this passion for fried chicken and combined it with authentic Korean flavours to offer up a bold new addition to the Dublin restaurant scene. Choose your chicken in a range of delicious sauces, either straight up or in a burger. Chimac pride themselves in serving only 100% free range chicken.
