Food Scene
Weekend Brunches here are to die for! Everything from a proper irish fry up, to delish Avocado Toast. And the coffee is unreal.
They also do Pizzas on weeknights which are some of the best in town. It's a nice chilled vibe.

The best sushi in town, we'd actually go as far as saying it's the best sushi out of Japan (we've never been to Japan!) but the sushi here is wonderful. Try the Salmon and Pickled Pineapple! Great cocktails in the bar too and the back section turns into a nightclub late on. Savage spot.

This is a lovely little Cake shop, that also does great brunch. They make their own beans for beans on toast, and you can throw anything you want on top of it - eggs, avocado, sausage, bacon...
Try their fresh juices - they are so tasty and I'm sure the goodness is good for any hangover from the night before.

This little Tapas place is bang in the middle of Temple Bar but won't break the bank. The tapas, pinxtos and wine are super tasty and not too pricey. It's mainly candle lit so you feel like you're in a cave bar in Spain.

This place has been around for years, and the food is delicious. If you book a table ahead, ask for a window seat so you can see the Ha'Penny bridge whilst you eat. The early bird is good value here and there's a good choice on the menu.

If you're out about and fancy falafel, try this place. The Palestine Falafel is yum, and pretty reasonable at about €6. You can sit in or take out. If you take out and it's a nice sunny day, go sit in the Chester Beatty Library behind Dublin Castle.

Ok these guys only do burgers. Hamburger, Double-hamburger, Cheese Burger, Double-cheese burgers. They are beyond EPIC. Don't be going anywhere else for a burger. Please, you will only be disappointed and wondering the whole time you're eating it - is this as good as a Bunsen Burger? You'll have to queue but please remember - good things come to those who wait.

This is a Rooftop bar, you can sit inside or outside. The restaurant inside has views of the whole of the city - it's as good, if not better than the Guinness Storehouse views. Great cocktails, woodfired pizza and a full menu of good food. A bit on the pricey side but worth it for the view. Good tunes here at the weekend. They do a good brunch too!

Decent, fresh, and I'm pretty sure it's kinda healthy Asian food. It's so relaxed - you get your food served to you in a take out box - and the best bit is you get an ice cream cone to pull your own ice cream once you've finished your noodles.

Indian food is my favourite. It's on my last supper list. Being from the UK where Tikka Masala is the official national dish I've been disappointed so many times in Ireland on their take of a good curry. These guys are Pickle have nailed it. It's quite pricey but a great spot for a fantastic dinner.

Drinks & Nightlife
There's an unwritten law in Dublin - you haven't visited Dublin unless you've had a pint of Guinness and a Cheese Toastie in Grogans. The place is an institution and a slice of a real, traditional Irish pub, bang in the middle of the city. There's loads of local art on the wall. Sit in front of the fire on a cold day, or outside on a sunny day and there will probably be street music, and loads of people watching!
