A lovely speakeasy with great drinks: The Blind Pig (22. May 2022)
The Blind Pig is a Speakeasy which you should absolutely book in advance. The place is hidden and easy to find if you know how. Basically, you have to look for the Restaurant Pacino’s … … walk in and follow the “shhh” sign … … and push the little piggies head to the left and […]
Definitely the most mouth-watering prawns I’ve had in my entire life: Restaurant King Sitric Seafood Bar (22. May 2022)
In all honesty, I would never have gone out here to Howth if it wasn’t for Anthony Bourdain who had visited King Sitric a few years ago in one of his episodes. Given, he did, and we were close anyway, we decided to give it a try and drove out here for having a real […]
Absolutely outstanding drinks in an amazing setting: No. 27 Bar & Lounge @ The Shelbourne (21. May 2022)
I had originally planned to stay at The Shelbourne Hotel which is an Autograph Collection hotel – so, one of my favourites in the Marriott group. However, it turned out that this weekend was a Rugby match, so things were kind of in the incredibly high hotel prices area making it somewhat unappealing to stay […]
Definitely a great find with room to improve to make it close to perfect: Restaurant Forest Avenue (21. May 2022)
If you want to dine at the Forest Avenue, you better book your table way in advance. I booked with about 6 to 7 weeks heads up and there weren’t too many tables available any more. Once you book, you have to pay the “10 Course Surprise Tasting Menu” (EUR 98.00) in advance, i.e., the […]
Great for the view but definitely overpriced when it comes to the Guinness: Gravity Bar @ Guinness Storehouse (21. May 2022)
When you are in Dublin, you kind of must visit the Guinness Brewhouse – so that’s what we did. It’s a good decade ago since I’ve last been here, and I must say that in my memory, it was somewhat nicer and more appealing. In any case, once you’ve walked your way up to the […]
Quite a decent and healthy breakfast option: Restaurant Panem Café & Bakery (21. May 2022)
Finding a place which serves breakfast isn’t that tricky in Dublin. However, finding a place which serves breakfast and has available seating on a Saturday morning turned out to be quite tricky. Finally, we scored the last table at the Panem Café & Bakery and considered ourselves lucky since the place is simple but nice, […]
A non-touristic and quite fancy typical pub in Dublin: The Palace Bar (20. May 2022)
The Palace Bar is one of the nicer and more sophisticated bars in Dublin – the place is relatively modern, and the audience is definitely of a higher sophistication level than the regular touristic spots. You get a good pint of “Guinness” for EUR 5.90 and if you’re lucky enough to score a table in […]
The perfect location to enjoy your lunch in the summer sun: Restaurant PURO – The Social Club (20. May 2022)
It is a bit ago since I’ve last been to the PURO, but it remains a good address also for lunch. I went for the “cold, refreshing cucumber soup, refined with Philadelphia” (CHF 8.50) which was nice in terms of flavour and actually really refreshing given it was about 30° C outside. What was bothering […]
