Any self-respecting chicken fillet connoisseur will tell you that the greatest chicken fillet roll in Dublin can be found in Maguires at the bottom of Grafton Street.

Donnybrook Fair has up until last week been a purely south side foodie paradise with shops in Donnybrook (no surprise there), Baggot Street, Grand Canal, Stillorgan and Greystones.  This weekend they opened a shop in Malahide and I have to say it is one of the most stunning foodie shopping experiences I’ve come across in Ireland, […]

You’ve heard the obvious tips and tricks for getting out of bed in the morning – going to sleep earlier, staying hydrated, doing yoga, and so on, and so forth.  The truth is that these things are much more easily said than done – and if you really want to enforce a bit of discipline […]
