Great Pizzeria, one of the top five in Ireland. Has absolutely great atmosphere with very friendly and efficient staff, a personal favourite of ours, but would recommend making a reservation in advance as it is very popular! Also easy to get to as is just 2 minutes from the Bray train station for those drivers that would like a drink beer/wine! (our house is just 5 minutes walk from Shankill station).

This lovely French bakery is a favourite of ours! If you would like fresh Chocolate Croissants or Pains au Chocolate, or just a Baquette, this would be where I would recommend.!

For that special night out, I would recommend this restaurant. Although it is expensive, if you are looking for something for a special occasion, the food here is really good! Expect to pay about 60 euros per head for the early bird menu, not cheap!!!

Drinks & Nightlife
This is quite a nice pub in the heritage village of Dalkey. We would tend to go here to meet up with friends on Saturday nights. The food is of a decent standard. This Pub can get busy on Saturday nights, so if you are looking for atmosphere, that would be the time to go. I wouldn't suggest it as a place for young children during busy periods!

At just 3 hours drive from Dublin, the city of Galway is always a favorite with visitors. From the great nightlife, with live traditional music in the pubs to the spectacular Connemara coast, you will not be disappointed you made the trip.

At just 90 minutes from Dublin by car, Belfast would be a great place to visit (even for just 1 day). As this is where the world famous ship 'Titanic' was built, there is an excellent 'Titanic Quarter' which will be of interest to anyone who is curious about this world famous liner.

The Guinness Storehouse is Ireland's most popular tourist attraction. Located in the centre of Dublin, within the Old Guinness Brewery at Jame's Gate, this would be a must see on your travel itinerary!

Parks & Nature
The Cliffs of Moher are just magnificent to see. As Europe's highest sea cliffs at nearly 700 feet, the views of the Atlantic Ocean battering the base of the cliffs are just spectacular. The Cliffs of Moher have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you go to visit them, you won't be disappointed, but make sure you travel there on a sunny day!! It will take you about 3 hours to get here from Dublin.

This park is great if you want to go for a run, remain nearb, but would like cycle, walk or just people watch. With a playground for younger children, this is always popular with families.

The M50 is the main arterial route around Dublin and serves as the access point from Dublin to the rest of the country, so if you are planning on going to Northern Ireland or the Cork in the south of the country, this will be your starting point. Luckily for us living in Shankill, our accss to the M50 is only 5 minutes drive away. Do avoid peak travel times, as traffic does get quick heavy!!
