This shop, conveniently located just off St Stephen's Green and Grafton Street, has the largest range of whiskeys in the capital's city centre. It's a great place to pick up a great bottle of the famous beverage from your Dublin jaunt. There are also many other drinks of all types and from all countries: beers, liqueurs, ciders, etc. The shop also offers tasting sessions and tours of distilleries around the city. Don't hesitate to ask the shop's sales staff for more information

The menu is endless, and whatever your diet (gluten-free pancakes, for example) we have been thinking of you for over twenty years. Sweet, savoury, crepe or galette, omelette or sandwich, choice of cooking, with or without fat, cow's milk or soya milk; breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner formulas, you are bound to find something to please you at any time of the day. In a resolutely modern atmosphere, Lemon Crepe also offers a fast and efficient service to make you taste its fresh products.

Founded by Marion Bailey Butler, this Irish artisan chocolate maker has been in business since 1932, and has opened several outlets in Dublin, but also throughout the country, in the cities of Cork and Galway in particular. But beyond the tasty store, it is above all a highly recommended place to enjoy a good coffee, a real hot chocolate accompanied by exquisite pastries, excellent cookies, or simply buy chocolates to take away. Considering the quality of the products, the prices are very reasonable.

In the Temple Bar district, this is the weekly meeting place for many of the region's producers. It's a sine qua non for the right to set up a stall in Meeting House Square. While most shoppers are tourists passing through, many Dubliners also come to do their weekend shopping. And on their shopping lists, organic and ecofriendly products feature prominently. A real treat! A good idea if you're staying in an apartment.

Boutiques of clothing and jewellery, the very top of the line.

This street which crosses Henry Street is home to a fruit and vegetable market which is always very lively every day of the week. And it's certainly the most typical in the capital! From Monday to Saturday, the population mixes here in a joyful hubbub at the time to make its shopping. It's a great place to fill your picnic basket. And when you know that there is a large supermarket right next door that allows you to complete your purchases, this is the ideal address for planning a snack for the next day's excursion.

Established in the Irish capital in 1805, Mitchell & Son is the country's oldest wine merchant. The selection is very impressive: French, Hungarian, Spanish, Chilean, Mexican, South African, New Zealand wines... There's also a selection of quality whiskies (local and otherwise) and armagnacs. Today, the seventh generation is at the helm. Enough to bring home some great labels for the whole family!

Buns is a thriving little business that unanimously makes the best cupcakes in Ireland. Paula and her husband, as well as being excellent bakers, are incredibly friendly and will give you a few tasters to help you choose. And despite this, you will struggle not to buy everything as the temptation is so great. It's definitely a good food market experience. The best way not to miss them is to follow their Facebook page. Online ordering is possible. Bon appétit to the gourmands!

The Mespil food market is an authentic food market where you don't come to fill your basket, but first your stomach. Here, the food is prepared under your nose and comes from all over the world. You can choose from wood-fired pizza, roast chicken, Irish lamb, Thai food, paella, falafel, palak paner, Chinese or Thai noodles, Hungarian goulash... You name it! An off-the-beaten-track address that is a godsend for tasting everything and anything on the spot in a friendly, good-natured atmosphere.

Wondering why there's a long queue outside the store? Quite simply because the company's pastries have been attracting the city's sweet tooth for over 60 years! From traditional cream and apple tarts to carrot cakes and chocolate cakes, you'll be spoilt for choice. Manning's also makes cakes on request for special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, etc.). Comfortably seated in the tea room, a slice of pie is even better with a good hot chocolate.

This store and tea room offers a wide range of quality loose-leaf teas, including green teas such as Lung Ching, Jasmine Bai Mao Huo, Japan Sencha Makinohara or Oolong; black teas from Assam, Darjeeling or Ceylon; white teas from China, as well as herbal teas and tea blends. To taste on the premises or to take away. Clement & Pekoe also offers good pastries, such as excellent homemade muffins, and direct-trade coffees and kombucha. An excellent address that will delight tea lovers!

The Moorland Cafe is a well-known family business in the small town of Drogheda. You can buy bread, cakes and pastries here under the pretty blue striped blind. So it's a good place for breakfast and even for a quick bite to eat at lunchtime... After choosing the menu directly at the counter, an electronic number announces that your order is ready. The whole establishment is quite nice with a nice view on West Street behind the big windows.

It's a bakery that's in full swing from early morning, when the queue grows on the sidewalk of Pearse Street. While you wait to pick up your organic bread or sit down to one of their delicious pastries (our palate still remembers their cruffin, a cross between a muffin and a croissant!), you can watch the little hands at work to provide you with traditional breads, croissants and other savoury puff pastries. Behind the glass, a veritable machine is at work (64 employees!). A second address will soon be opening in Greystones.

The Butler's Pantry is a catering company that offers a variety of dishes cooked on the day, almost always using local produce. You can find smoked salmon sandwiches from Ireland, Irish cheddar snacks or even Irish Stew to take away. But what we like most of all are their cakes, and especially their giant cookies, which do not fit in a handbag... Notice to the gourmets! A few good bottles to accompany your picnic and some good pastries in the morning too

This large shopping center (Burton, New Look, Topshop, Next, Forever 21, Diesel, Jack & Jones...) also offers a few Irish treats to slip into your suitcase before the plane home or to enjoy on the spot during your shopping session, including excellent pastries and beautiful boxes of chocolates. The Jervis Shopping Centre also features a food court. And gourmets flock to the major international chains (Burger King, Marks & Spencer, Rockets, J2 Sushi, Ginzeng, Sbarro...) between two shopping trips.
