    I had heard of Leo's from friends that had been to Dublin and told me to make sure I stopped in. from my hotel on O'connell Str it was a bit of a walk, but worth it. Fried fish is the name of the game here and they do it good. I ordered the fish box for 6 Euro and I got 2 huge pieces of fried cod and a healthy amount of chips (fries).

    The service was fast and friendly. there are usually lines of people at lunch times but I was lucky and only had 2 people in front of me. outside there is a sign with the names of the famous people that had eaten at Leo's. It's take-out only so get your order and find a bench or like me sit on the steps to Dublin Castle.

    Leo Burdock Fish & Chips: Take Away Only....

  • This place is takeaway only. This was a disappointment to us as when we went, it was raining. So we took our picture and looked at the menu and decided not to stay.

    I hear wonderful things about this place but have yet to do more than walk in and then walk out.

    I had heard of the Leo Burdock Fish & chip shop that is located near Christ Church Cathedral but I noticed another small branch in the Epicurian food hall not far from O'Connell St & handier for where I was staying on the north side of the Liffey. The food was lovely, not too expensive and there is seating in the food hall

    I had scampi [if you want chips with it you have to ask for them seperately] and also the seafood chowder which was absolutely delicious!! If all their food is that good I can see why its so popular!!

    As Ferni and I were exploring the Christ Church area we happen to come across Leo Burdock. We were feeling quite hungry at the point and decided to walk in and check it out.

    The place is super small with only take out service, but with the weather being nice, we decided to order the Sole and Chips to share and sit at one of the benches at Christ Church.

    The fish was so good and fresh and the chips were the large steak fries which happen to be my favorite. Their order is quite large, and unless you are starving or eat a lot, one order is enough for sharing.

    They put the piece of fish piled on top of the chips and wrap it paper. Make sure to get napkins. We didn't get any eating utensils or napkins in our bag, so we had to eat the fish and chips with our hands, wasn't so bad and thank goodness I carry with napkins and hand wipes to clean my hands with.

    We ordered the sole and chips to share which was quite good!!

    Leo Burdock Fish & Chips: Ethnic Irish

  • Fish & Chips... if you want to experience what Dubliners have been eating for years on end, check out Leo Burdocks in Werberg Street. This is a landmark where there is always a queue and well worth the wait. It's a take away which means basically no sitting down. However if you go towards Christ Church and on the left of that you will find a small park, more like a big garden where you can sit down as sample this delicious food. Not for those who dislike greasy food. Adverage price €2 for chips and from €4 to 7 for fish.

    Very tasty and not like other fish and chip shops...I can't tell you the secret... because l don't know it.... you have to believe me on this one...

    If you don’t bother about little and irrelevant details such as your blood pressure and cholesterol level, maybe you should give a try to the grassy and actually delicious local fish & chips of Leo Burdock. The placement of their main restaurant could not be more convenient and if the food and the location doesn’t appeal you, maybe the list of famous people that once enter the restaurant will:

    “TOM CRUISE, DAVID GINOLA, ROBBIE KEANE, LIAM NEESON, NEIL JORDAN, NAOMI CAMPBELL, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, U2, DEF LEPPARD”

    Or so they assure in their web site. I cannot imagine Naomi Campbell holding a paper cone full of grassy chips, though. ;-)

    I’m afraid their menu is composed mainly with fish & chips.

    by call_me_rhia
    it's your typical fish and chips take-away place. Apparently the secret of their wonderful fish is in the secret batter they use. But I would add that what helps its taste is the distinctive newspaper taste the fish aquires while you take it home.
    leo Burdock is an dublin institution: it claims to have as its customers tom cruise, robbie keane, liam neeson, neil jordan, naomi cambell, bruce springsteen, def leppard and U2. Having eaten there many times, I don't fail to doubt it.

    smoked cod and chips. With salt and vinegar

    Leo Burdock's has recently announced that it intends to Franchise it's operations. It already has several sites in Dublin, although the concensus seems to be that the original one in Werburg street is still the best by a long way (it's opp. Christ Church). I certainly know that it is miles better than the English chain of 'Harry Ramsden's' which claims a similarly long heritage.

    It is not unusual to find long queses ourside the Werberg street shop, and there is even a plaque on the wall detailing some of the celebrities who have duly lined up with Jo anybody from the Dublin Backstreets.

    You might meet Kate Moss, Rod Stewart, Naomi Campbell or Bruce Springsteen in the queue, they have all eathen there.

    I have however picked a more unusual name to illustate this tip. Edith Piaf, apparantly, loved her cod & chips from this place. Can't you just see here standing on a street corner with extra salt & vinegar and scraps on her bag of chips.

    Je ne regret rien - exceot the fact that Health & safety dictate that they can't be wrapped up in Newspapers any more.

    Burdocks is a take-away only type establishment and I guess it qualifies as fast food but their fish is the best. I believe Burdocks uses Cod fish as their main fish supply and for not very much money you get a very large fish fillet fried to perfection with a light crust on outside and flaky white meat inside and a good supply of chips. Very good flavor. Your fish 'n chips comes wrapped in paper--no un-necessary cartons or boxes are used. The best part about Burdocks is that it's quick. You don't have choices to make.

    The Fish 'N Chips! As per our taxi driver, Burdock's has the best fish 'n chips which most tourists miss out on as it is frequented mostly by locals. Also there is no place to sit and eat at Burdocks, you either eat standing up or do as we did which is walk to a nearby park and eat picnic style.
