Best Gelato in Dublin

"Murphy’s have been making their own brand of ice cream for 17 years now in Dingle, Kerry, with a more recent second home in Dublin. There’s only two weeks of sunshine in Dublin all year round, but when the sun is finally out, queues are quick to form outside Murphy’s. The flavours like Dingle sea salt, Dingle gin, peanut and many more are unbelievable."

"We couldn’t make a list of ice-cream places in Dublin without including Murphy’s Ice Cream. This traditional ice-cream parlour on Wicklow Street is the place to go if you are looking for top quality traditional Irish ice-cream. Handmade in Dingle, Murphy’s Ice Cream is like no other with their milk coming from a rare, indigenous Kerry bred cow."

"It's impossible to visit Dublin and not investigate the new incarnation of Bewley’s, reopened after years of restoration. This fine old coffee house was a firm favourite for close on a century, and its recent reappearance is a cheering sight. Come here for coffee, savouries, sweet treats (including the signature Bewley’s cherry buns, and ‘Mary cake’, a rich confection of apricot and chocolate) – and to admire the glorious Harry Clarke stained-glass windows which illuminate the café."

"78- 79 Grafton Street, Dublin 2Mon – Fri from 7:30am, Sat 8am, Sun 9am. Bewley’s Grafton Street is one of Dublin’s most iconic and celebrated landmarks. As well as a selection of their freshly baked pastries and breads, they also serve a selection of delicious hot breakfasts."

"Teddy’s Ice Cream has been a Dublin institution since its first ice cream shop opened in 1950 in Dun Laoghaire. Since then, Teddy’s Ice Cream has opened two more locations in Dun Laoghaire and one in Bray, County Wicklow. No visit to the Dublin coast on a hot summer’s day is complete without a 99 ice cream cone, and Teddy’s Ice Cream has truly perfected the art of the 99."

"This iconic Dublin shop has been serving up classic 99s since 1950. They're experts at the whipped ice cream, cone and flake, with optional sauce and sprinkles for the adventurous ones!. There's also great news for 99 lovers as Teddy's has found it's first home in the city centre."

"With five front units open seven days a week and over 25 stalls springing to life at the weekends, Howth Market is one of the focal points of this quaint seaside town and attracts locals just as much as those from further afield. Conveniently located beside the DART station, this market is perfect for browsing on a sunny day before heading along the cliff walk or onto the pier. Though the market sells a great mix of wares, from woodwork to antique jewellery, the food is the highlight."

"There are so many reasons to visit this picturesque northside village on the weekend. But the market is a good enough reason in its own right. You're likely to find an array of organic produce, freshly baked goods, jewellery, clothing, antiques and loads more when checking out this market."

"Next on our list is Cloud Nine, in the Temple Bar neighbourhood of Dublin’s city centre.

Established in 1831, this is the third-oldest zoo in the world (after London and Paris), nestled in the midst of the city’s largest playground, the Phoenix Park, about 3km (2M) west of the city centre. This 12-hectare (30 acre) zoo provides a naturally landscaped habitat for more than 235 species of wild animals and tropical birds."

"Now you will also see the Campanile, one of Dublin's most photographed buildings. Resist the temptation (should you feel it) to queue for a look at the Book of Kells. Even on good days you will lose time, see only a small portion and may come away slightly disappointed. The Old Library and the Book of Kells are for those visitors with more time, seriously."

"It’s not hard to spot L'Gueuleton from a distance thanks to its signature striped awnings out the front. Once inside you’ll find a cosy convivial atmosphere, where menus are presented to you on communal blackboards for an authentic French feel. Dishes are split up into ‘petit plats’ and ‘grand plats’ with the former featuring things like steak tartare and moules mariniere, while the more substantial offering includes steak frites, seafood and plates of pasta."

"While Connor recommended Chapter 1 a Michelin Star restaurant for fine dining and Juniors for New York City style Italian food. And when I asked him where he ate in his spare time he admitted he had little but enjoyed the ribeye steak at L’Gueleton French bistro. I decided that would be my last stop but I made the mistake of having the braised venison instead as I adore venison."

"This French bistro style restaurant is Dublin’s trendiest brunch spot. L’gueuleton’s outdoor seating is covered by traditional stiped awning and spills out onto the newly pedestrianized Fade street. Try one of their famous cocktails (they do a mean espresso martini) and load up on their potato hash or moules frites."
