11 of the best places to get sushi in Dublin
"I am a big fan of seafood pasta and Rosa Madre in Dublin is always there to take care of my craving for this exceptional dish. They also specialise in fresh fish with options like gamberi in spicy spinach, calamari, and the mighty lobster tonnarelli. Back in 2018, Rosa Madre won an award for the ‘Best Authentic Italian Restaurant in Dublin’."
"Some of the tastiest seafood pasta can be found in Rosa Madre. As soon as you step in the door you're met by a huge cabinet which is iced and packed full of fish and shellfish. It's a stunning venue, tucked away down the cobblestone streets of Temple Bar but inside it's got a lot of character."
"Let’s face it: The neighborhood of Temple Bar is far from salubrious and hardly a showcase for what’s great about Dublin. So it’s a little surprising to find one of the city’s best seafood restaurants right in the middle of it all. If you’re after unadulterated Irish seafood, this is the place for you."
"Known for their famous oyster happy hour, the team at Klaw are on the mission to bring crab shack dining to Dublin. Their chalkboard menu changes daily depending on what produce can be sourced, but expect plenty of fresh crab, lobster, crayfish and more. You may want to pack a bib..."
"Hoping to bring 'crab shack dining' to the heart of Temple Bar, this unique restaurant promises everything from crab mac 'n' cheese to lobster rolls in an intimate and slim space (trust us, it's teeny)."
"A luxurious boutique hotel and restaurant overlooking St Stephen’s Green, this Dublin seafood venue embraces its nautical theme. With silver wall-mounted lamps in the shape of scallop shells, parquet floors and accent colours of white and navy blue, the maritime-style interior is reflected in the seafood-focussed menu. Book in for lunch or dinner, sample some freshwater beluga caviar at the oyster and champagne bar, or try the “afternoon sea”."
"Those interested in fine dining and a cosy lounge will love the lure of Cliff Townhouse. Renowned chef Sean Smith cooks up some truly sumptuous chicken and fish dishes, with fresh Irish vegetables served on the side. The range of cosy and colourful rooms include the option of park views, or windows overlooking the streets of Dublin."
"Imposing, graceful, intimate: Cliff Townhouse is a charming restaurant with rooms offering comfortable accommodation and an unsurpassed location in the heart of Dublin."
"Brasserie 66 is not a place that strikes you as child friendly but if you liked their food before you had kids, you’ll be happy to hear that kids are welcome and catered for. The restaurant has some booster seats and child dishes at a reduced price: ask the server for details as I don’t recall seeing a kids menu as such. Address: 66-67 South Great George’s Street, Dublin"
"A fixed feature on George’s street that brings an honest-to-goodness approach to tasty food delivering hearty flavours in an atmospheric setting. The eclectic cocktail menu is definitely worth exploring, and they also offer a creative mocktail menu too. Early Bird Menu: Sunday to Wednesday all evening."
"The buses will take you past the major sights and, depending on which tour you choose (grab some leaflets the evening before or do some research on the internet), even far-flung attractions like the Guinness Brewery, Kilmainham Gaol, and Phoenix Park will be seen. The main thing to remember here: get a good seat on top, enjoy the view, listen to the commentary, and snap away... but do not get off the bus. This is your city tour."
"No list of the best Dublin museums would be complete without a visit to the Guinness Storehouse. It has consistently been voted the most popular destination for visitors to the city, with many locals taking part in the experience as well. Follow the story of how Guinness became Ireland’s most famous export and its impact on the city that brewed it."
"This iconic spot is one of the best locations for wedding photos in Dublin if you want something different. I love the way the dark tones of the rough buildings contrast with the whiteness and elegance of wedding dress. It’s a bit out of the way but Guinness Storehouse is definitely worth a trip."
"If you want to experience one of the best historical things to do in Dublin, then why not spend a whole day exploring the incredible National Museum of Ireland?. Here you will learn about national and international archaeology, Irish history, Irish art, culture, and natural history. No matter your age, you are sure to take something away from the incredible exhibitions on offer at one of the best museums in Ireland."
"The national museum features four total branches, three of which are located in Dublin. Archaeology, Decorative Arts and History, and the Natural History Museum buildings are within walking distance of other major Dublin attractions. The collections found here are entertaining, enlightening, and awe inspiring."
"This museum is one that should be on everyone’ s bucket list and better yet it is only footsteps away from us. Ideal for those history heads amongst your family or friend group, the museum delves into Ireland’s social, military, political and economic progress throughout the years. The museum is also free of charge as you get to witness and explore artefacts and exhibitions on display are examples of furniture, weaponry, folklore costumes that have been used over the years in Ireland."
"Once the world’s largest military barracks, this splendid early neoclassical grey-stone building on the Liffey’s northern banks was completed in 1704 according to the design of Thomas Burgh (he of Trinity College's Old Library). It is now home to the Decorative Arts & History collection of the National Museum of Ireland, with a range of superb permanent exhibits ranging from a history of the Easter Rising to the work of iconic Irish designer Eileen Gray (1878–1976)."
"Once the military home of British colonial rule in Ireland, Collins Barracks has been renovated and reimagined to become the National Museum of Decorative Arts and History. The narrative of Ireland's economic, social, political and military progress is told through an extensive range of artefacts. From silver, ceramic and glassware to weaponry, furniture and costume, the Museum is packed full of treasures, each with its own unique story."
