This is Dublin's best Indian restaurant and it is just around the corner from us. They do a wonderful Palak Paneer and all the traditional dishes. Get a take away or eat in and then go for drink across the road to the fabulous MVP bar.

This is an amazing Korean restaurant on Meath Street a 10 minute walk from the house. All the meat is free range, there is an open kitchen, the staff are friendly and the food is delicious. You can’t book and so just put your name down and go and have a drink in Lucky’s if there is a short wait.

Booking is essential for this gaol where many of the 1916 rebels were imprisoned after the rising. The tour is very interesting and good for all ages, my 16 year old nephew said it was his favourite tourist attraction in Dublin. You can visit the cells and learn about Irish history.
