Courtesy Pichet
Dublin’s culinary offerings today no longer consist mostly of cabbage and potatoes. In fact, you’ll be hard-pressed to find tasteless boiled food in the Irish capital these days. Seafood is a specialty due to the city’s proximity to the sea. Pubs are home to some of the best dining in Dublin, and there are supposedly 800 in the city center alone (particularly impressive in a population of only 1 million people). They say Guinness tastes the best when consumed in a Dublin pub, and no one seems to argue the point. For an abbreviated list of restaurants, read Top Tables Dublin.
