For a year my job was to look at food porn all day. Well, it was a bit more complicated than that. I was the community manager (that is, I ran Facebook and Twitter) for a cheese brand, and would spend my days befriending bored teenagers and their even more bored mothers and posting pictures […]

f there is one thing we’ve learnt about you readers it is that you are all obsessed with brunch. With Dublin offering an increasingly large and varied selection of brunch options we thought it would be only right to refine them down and help you find a brunch for the specific occasion you were after. We think […]

We all try to eat healthy food at times but it is a massive pain in the arse to do it perfectly all the time. Luckily there are some foods that are way better than others when it comes to nourishing you, giving you energy and making your body feel good about itself. Super foods. So […]

I decided to try out a juice cleanse last week because they seem to be rising in popularity in the city with the increase in green juices, cold-pressed juices and a general juice frenzy having taken most cafés in the capital by storm! Despite being a green juice lover, I’ve never considered doing a juice […]

I normally like to focus on restaurants for reviews but given that we were busy launching our new app and all working late in the office we decided to review some of Dublin’s takeaways. We picked a standard order of a Thai Green Curry, fried rice and a can of coke and tested them according […]

Every week the Lovin Dublin community share incredible photos on Instagram via the hashtag #lovindublin. There are a remarkable 7,500 photos there and it is a wonderful place to find great places to eat, restaurant reviews and new stuff happening in the city. It shows Dublin off in the best possible way. As you’ll know […]

The day has come, tonight is the Great British Bake Off Final and we’re all rooting for our favourite baker. GBBO is one of those shows that has both kitchen whizzes and those who burn toast glued to the TV. Despite the amazing, sugar piped creations whipped up every week, the innuendos and puns are what have people tuning […]

I think it’s fair to say that over the last few years salads have transformed from something lame that we used to eat as a punishment into something exciting, fresh and delicious. Things have advanced leaps and bounds from the limp Caesar salad that used to be the token salad option on menus, thanks to […]

We love trying out exciting new cafés and restaurants in the city, there is so much choice with cuisines from almost every part of the world available. However, despite all the exciting food choices being dished up every single day, sometimes if you’re absolutely ravenous or hungover a carvery starts calling. While not exotic whatsoever, sometimes when […]

So I was at the Ploughing. I’ve gone every Thursday of the Ploughing for years because of a gig I do there and it has always been, in my urbane, world-weary eyes, a mixture of the creepy town in Deliverance, Galway Race Week, the Electric Picnic with chainsaws and the Winning Streak audience at play […]

For the last few weeks I have been sharing my favourite Farmer’s Market food in Dublin because, well, I feel my extensive eating needs to serve some greater purpose other than just leaving me bloated but happy. Many people in Dublin will be familiar with this stall, but many are yet to discover the juicy, meaty […]

Looking for lunch on the cheap? We’ve got you covered. This was actually a really hard list to put together, because most meals that are about €5 tend to be fast food and it’s hard at first glance to find a list of filling, nutritious meals for that price. However, once we started thinking about […]
