It was built in 1796 and films such as Michael Collins, The Italian Job, In The Name of the Father and The Wind That Shakes the Barley were shot here.

"For pizza slices as big as your head at €3 a go, you cannot beat DiFontaine’s Pizzeria, right in the heart of town on Parliament Street. Don’t expect a five-star setting – this is a counter-and- stools kind of place – but the pizzas are excellent. Your cheap-as-chips slice will have a good base, deliciously melting cheese and a robust tomato sauce."

Just follow the crowds, which will, more than likely, bring you to the Temple Bar area."

"Avoca is well known for its delicious food, both in the restaurant and market area, and many of its restaurants cater well for kids with a specialised children menu. I am partial to the one in Monkstown most of all (salt café) since it has a lot of space, which is lacking in the one in town (something that can be problematic with a stroller)."

"Most of the Avoca Cafes and table served restaurants are excellent for kids. My personal favourite is Malahide Castle, which has a large tables for large families and friends. They operate off the self-serve model in Malahide but the food is always tasty (I recommend the Salmon Salad, and then top it off with one of their deadly desserts)."

"As most of Avoca cafes, the one located on Suffolk Street is excellent for kids. Located on the top floor, the café serves tasty breakfast and lunch featuring fresh and homemade dishes. The self-service café is quite popular for tourists and locals alike."
