In our hyper-convenient modern world, we all too often default to buying our fruit and vegetables from the nearest supermarket chain store. However, sourcing your fruit and vegetables from a dedicated greengrocers specialising in fresh produce can have huge benefits. First and foremost, greengrocers specialising in fruit and vegetables generally take care with the produce they sell, ensuring that their goods are fresh, ripe, and at their best. Many greengrocers also maintain a balance between locally grown produce and exotic overseas items, offering customers the best of both worlds.
Thankfully, Dublin has several excellent fruit and vegetable shops located across the city. These shops offer fine, fresh produce with the personal touch and care that can often be lacking at large chain supermarkets.
In this post we share the best fruit and vegetable shops in Dublin.

The final entry on our list is not a shop, but a market. Dublin’s historic Moore Street traders have been selling fruit and vegetables from the famous street for centuries. The cries of the traders have been heard on Moore Street since the early 18th century.
While it is true that the market is somewhat in decline today, it is still an excellent place to pick up fresh Irish berries and other fruits and to enjoy the goodnatured banter and conversation with the venerable traders that are the heart and soul of the market.
