Hundreds of people have gathered on O’Connell Street to take part in the Extinction Rebellion Ireland protest this Good Friday afternoon. The demonstration is part of a Europe-wide campaign to bring attention to climate change issues around the globe. Similar protests have led to several arrests in London this week. Lots of people here in O’Connell […]

I was nearly home and excited to be Etto-bound for dinner. I had spent most of my weekend driving to West Cork and then on to Cork City for work. While both of these places boast some of the best restaurants and produce in the country, unfortunately due to time constraints, most of my eating […]

There’s several restaurants in Dublin that are firm favourites – solid choices for a nice meal out – yet sometimes forgotten in favour of newer, trendier spots. One such place is the beloved Ananda in Dundrum. I say beloved, because anyone I know who’s ever been comes back raving about it. Forgotten, because it rarely […]

The chill in the air means only one thing… it’s time to get your spicy food fix. Here at Lovin, we’re all about the spice lately. We recently brought you the Top 10 Indians in Dublin and now it’s time to move on to the wonderful land of Mexico. Tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas and tostadas. Feeling […]

Dublin is overflowing with foodie-ness but sometimes it can be hard to find the perfect fit. Yesterday my friend and I arranged to meet for a drink and nibble.  Of course, like every other friend of mine, she left it to me to choose the venue – working in Lovin Dublin it’s a pretty fair deal, […]

It’s disgracefully damp and dreary out there; few things will cheer us up but food never fails. You might not make it out for a walk this evening but you know that cafés and restaurants will always be a cosy spot to take shelter. Here are seven dishes that are worth trekking through the wind […]

Shelbourne Social: A slick, moneyed operation so eminently hateable and unfashionable in these post-Tiger times. This behemoth of an eatery in Dublin 4 has been mainly referred to as the new ‘Dylan McGrath place’ since opening its doors a couple of months ago. That is the position McGrath has graduated to in his decades-spanning career […]

The Liberties is one of my favourite areas in Dublin – it’s full to the brim with culture, quirky antique shops, street art and deadly spots for grub. It’s really managed to keep its old-school “dirty old town” vibe but it also has this contemporary edginess to it. As of late, there have been some […]

It’s the saga that has gripped the nation for the past couple of days but it has now been resolved. ‘Hamish the dog’ boarded a Sallins to Heuston train on his own yesterday, leading to a member of Irish Rail’s staff keeping him in overnight as the hunt got underway for his owner.  Photos of […]
