Lemon Jelly is a very stylish Dublin café. Great for meet ups with friends, and to chat. The café is usually very busy at weekends and around lunchtime during the weekdays.

Beshoff's Bros is a typical Irish chipper and not a restaurant, but there is no option for chippers. They're too Irish! I recommend the fish goujons with garlic sauce and chips. Yum!

The Market Bar is very touristic lately and very busy at weekends, but I recommend it. They serve very good quality tapas and artisan beers.

The Cock and Bull was formerly named the Station House and was refurbished several years ago. If you're looking for a typical Irish pub without the overpriced drinks for tourists, then this is the place for you. Sit, relax, chat and drink a Guinness!

The Morgan Bar is ultra stylish. The drinks are slightly overpriced but the patrons don't mind as the atmosphere is chilled (not cold!) and inviting. Patrons are young professionals and usually well-dressed. They make gorgeous long island iced teas.

Sightseeing

Howth is iconic and very much a tourist hotspot. It's perfect to visit on warm, sunny days which are few and far between in Ireland! I recommend it for cute cafés, chippers and pubs. You can also relax and take in the beautiful scenery of the harbour and marina. Plus, my family originates from Howth so I feel a strong connection to it.

The walk up to Howth Summit should take around 30 minutes from Howth village or less if you're a fast walker like me. It's a little tiring, but the views are amazing. The number 31A bus will take you directly to Howth Summit from the city centre and it passes through Raheny village. Lucky you!

Parks & Nature

Saint Anne's Park is a 20-minute walk from the house and large enough for you to get lost in! The park hosts a rose garden and the Stable Café. Just opposite the park is the coast, North Bull Island and Dollymount beach looking on to Dublin Bay in the distance to the southwest.
