Smithfield Outdoor Food Market

What to Expect

The Smithfield Outdoor Food Market operates every Friday from 10am to 3pm on Tree Grove near the Luas line in Dublin 7. This weekly open-air market is a neighbourhood favourite in one of Dublin’s most characterful areas, drawing office workers, locals and passers-by looking for quality food at lunchtime and beyond.

The stalls feature a rotating cast of artisan food producers and street food vendors, with options ranging from freshly baked bread and pastries to international street food, seasonal vegetables and specialty deli products. The market offers a relaxed, informal atmosphere that reflects the broader character of the Smithfield area, which has transformed significantly in recent years into one of Dublin’s most interesting urban quarters.

Smithfield Square itself is one of the largest public squares in Dublin, and the Friday market makes good use of the open space. With the chimney of the old Jameson Distillery overhead and the Luas passing by, it has a distinctly Dublin character that distinguishes it from more polished market settings.
