Our History

Since 1977, McDonald’s have been proud to serve the Irish people with some of their favorite food. Along the way, McDonald’s have managed not just to live history, but create it:  from the first drive-thru restaurant in Europe, to the first McCafé in Europe to their ongoing food innovation, McDonald’s has been at the forefront of serving customers. 

The first McDonald’s opened in Ireland on Grafton Street in May 1977 – since then, they have grown to become one of Ireland’s largest employers.
