However, when you want something a tiny bit less casual with a hell of a lot more craic, just a short walk away, Daffodil Mulligan offers a more relaxed, sit-down alternative.

Daffodil Mulligan

After the buzz of Whitecross Street, sometimes it’s nice to take a seat and let someone else do the looking after you. Our dining room is calm, welcoming, and run by a team who know how to strike the right balance between attentive and easygoing. You’ll never feel rushed, but you’ll never be waiting either.

Our ingredient-led Irish cooking is made for everyone, whether you’re in the mood for something light or ready to settle in properly for a feast of all the senses. Ideal for lunch or evening dining, we’ve got plenty on the menu, and plenty of atmosphere to keep you right where you are.

From Whitecross Street Market to Daffodil Mulligan

If you know Whitecross Street Market, you’re already almost with us. We’re just a short walk away; close enough to feel connected to the buzz, but far enough to sit down, relax, and enjoy a proper bit of scran. 

Head south from Whitecross Street towards London Wall, follow the curve of the road, and you’ll find us waiting with the door open. It’s an easy, familiar route for anyone who works or wanders around the area, perfect for turning a quick market lunch into a leisurely sit-down, or stretching the evening out a little longer into some drinks downstairs at Gibney’s.

Lunch, After-Work & Early Evening Dining

We’re well practised at feeding the City. Our lunches are business-friendly without being buttoned-up, ideal for working meetings, client catch-ups, or stepping away from the desk for something far more enjoyable than a sad sandwich.

When the working day’s done, we shift gears. Join us for relaxed after-work dining, or settle in for a longer night with your closest pals, where one plate becomes three and the conversation keeps flowing. Our menus are built for sharing or solo dining, whether you’re gently grazing or properly devouring a feast. Our menus are led by seasonal Irish ingredients and a love of big, honest flavours. You can expect beautifully grilled meats, fresh and punchy flavours, and vegetables treated with the respect they deserve.

We bring something a little different to the neighbourhood. Our cooking is rooted in distinctive Irish flavours, led by seasonal produce and handled with care, confidence, and plenty of personality. From bold, comforting plates to lighter dishes with a fresh edge, everything on the menu is made to be enjoyed, not overthought.

Quality runs through it all: the food, the drinks, the ingredients we choose, and the way we serve them. Add a lively but comfortable dining room where conversation flows easily, glasses are happily refilled, and the atmosphere feels just right, and you’ve got a place worth settling into near Whitecross Street.
