DK Travel : Dublin

One of the most popular capitals in Europe, Dublin is a city steeped in history. Huddled together within a small vicinity you’ll find Viking remains, medieval cathedrals and churches, Georgian squares and excellent museums. But it’s not just about buildings – music, theatre, literature and pubs play just as strong a part in Dublin’s atmosphere. These highlights are the must-sees for any visitor who wants to truly capture the variety and vibrancy of the city.

Elephant and Castle

Excellent food in a very convivial atmosphere in the heart of Temple Bar. If there's more than two of you, though, you will need to book.
Elephant and Castle

The best place to eat wings - anywhere!!

As an amateur conoisseur of chicken wings I can tell you that these are the best - no words can accurately describe their greatness. Don't be put off if you don't like to use your fingers to eat (fingerbowls are provided anyway) - there are plenty of other tasty items on the menu. The salads are very tasty - we like to share a main course salad as a side dish between a few of us. Burgers are very filling - especially the Elephant Burger!

There's a nice Pinot Grigio on the wine list that seems to go with everything plus they offer cute elderflower and ginger drinks too for the tee-totallers.

I don't think I've ever made it to dessert here so can't comment - coffees are good and they used to also serve bowls of coffee & hot chocolate (as they do in Europe) which I always thought was a lovely touch.

Situated right in the heart of Temple Bar, you can go for a long walk about to walk off the meal when you've finished!
Gallic Kitchen

Famed for their breakfast dishes and fabulous lunches, you can get everything from sweet and savory pastries to take away quiche for an unforgettable picnic lunch.
