Docklands CoCo Markets

I eventually found this market a bit late in the day… it was nearly 2pm. It seems to have moved from the initial locaion around the IFSC and is now further down Spencer’s Dock. As Jo said, this is more of a foodie market. The main aim seems to be to provide lunch for the office workers nearby rather than a shopping market. If you want fresh take-​away food, it’s perfect. For a shopping market, you’re probably better off sticking to one of the weekend ones!

Such a great idea — if the business people don’t have time to go shopping, bring shopping to the business people. Genius!
The CoCo Markets are held every Wednesday in the middle of the IFSC (Dublin’s business district). They provide the busy finance types with the perfect opportunity to do some speedy lunchtime gift shopping or to try something a little different for lunch.
Most of the stalls in this market are food-​related (what a surprise — this market is a lunchtime affair) and include options such as falafel, asian noodles, curries and paellas. The queue for paella yesterday was phenomenal!
Meals tend to be around the 5 euro mark, which is what you’d pay for a sambo in one of the nearby cafes anyway. This is a great idea and fingers crossed it will be really successful with the suits.
