OUR STORY
Meltdown’s story began in 2018 with a three-month pop-up dedicated to crafting the best toasties Dublin had ever tasted.
From the very beginning, it was never just about a sandwich – it was about bold flavours, fresh ingredients, and a genuine love for sharing great food.
By July 2018, Meltdown moved into its very own space at the Button Factory in Temple Bar, where it became known as THE destination for high-quality, crave-worthy toasties.
In December 2019, Meltdown opened its flagship location on Leeson Street, becoming more than just a takeaway spot with an extended menu and full café experience.
Despite 2020 bringing Dublin City to a standstill, Meltdown powered on and grew to a second location on Montague street with a fully seated café offering the much loved Meltdown menu in a funky and relaxed space.
In May 2023, we kicked things up a notch and launched Meltdown catering, dishing out our food to more people than ever, and loving every bite of the journey.
Today, Meltdown is more than a place - it’s a kitchen with a mission: to deliver good food and good vibes all over Dublin!
From early-morning corporate breakfasts to late-night private parties, our team serves up food with flair and flavour, bringing people together over every bite. We craft our sauces from scratch, source ingredients locally, and keep our menu evolving to stay fresh, bold, and on trend.
