The Cobalt is easy to miss – it’s located on the ground floor of a Georgian townhouse on a largely residential street on the northside. Its only identifiable from a dark blue sign on the doorway. However, inside it’s lovely: a simple cafe with basic but tasty sandwiches and snacks in two elegant rooms and an outdoor garden, decorated with art for sale.
The Cobalt is only open for lunch with occasional evening music events. It’s popular, so to get a seat try to be in before 1pm.
It’s probably the most stylish place for a cheap(ish) lunch in Dublin.
16 North Great George's Street (just north of Parnell Street East)
