I'm heading off to Dublin for the weekend unexpectedly! I've been several times before so I'm really looking forward to it.

[Frank]

Greetings to the Irish!
I've decided to visit Ireland after meeting many amazing Irish people in Australia--there are so many Irish there that I wondered who was watching the place while they were all gone! :)
Anyhow, saw this thread and decided to take advantage of the legendary Irish friendliness and ask for travel advice---what cities should i definately see? Let me give you a bit of backround info: I'm a 22 yr old uni student from Canada so I would love to go to the pubs/clubs in the bigger cities some nights BUT I'm also a huge history and architecture buff so I would be perfectly happy exploring local museums and castles/historical sites. I also love gorgeous landscapes and anywhere along the coast (I head that Ireland is a lot like New Zealand in terms of lush greeness and I was completely in awe my entire tour through NZ so I'll definately want to see some of Ireland's natural beauty) Also, I'd be coming next summer (either june or August).

Sorry to pollute your thread with my touristy questions! And thanks in advance for answering them :)

[seamus]

i know a couple from canada who got me into veganism and i will always be in their dept.
take abow trudi(dont know her second name) and tariq Kahn. theses people are legends.
i love you both.
i think they are in vancouver, B.C.
miss these guys a lot.

Does anybody know what happened with Steph and Ita of Cussens Cottage? They suddenly dropped out of the vegan magazines.

I'm gutted, I used to love going there. Ita was a magical loon :p

I will be visiting Dublin for a Muse concert in August but there Mon to Thu so plenty of chances to explore the vegan places to eat, on the Mon Im going out for a meal with 3 people (non vegan/veggie) iff the Muse Forum - all happy to try veggie/vegan food - Im thinking of booking a table at Juice? Menu looks good and want somewhere we can sit down and chat!

Im hoping my hotel will come up with something I can eat for breccy but are the Nourish health shops the best places for take out foods?

Any ideas on where is currently good to eat?

Thanks:)

[Frank]

AlisonT - you will find this site useful:

[alisont]

Thanks Frank, will have a good look later on:)

[pavotrouge]

we had lunch at Govinda's (Middle Abbey Street branch) today and it was really good. ask for what's vegan and get them to shovel as much as possible onto the plate for 8.50 € :)

[Marrers]

I didn't go to Nourish but think Blazing Salads is the best place for take-away savoury stuff like sandwiches, pasties etc.

[alisont]

Thanks will need somewhere to get some food for the gig from - i wont be risking some burger van:rolleyes: a nice take out box will be great (just hope Marley park allow you to take food in - shall argue my case if not)

[niallmc]

Blazing salads is probably the best place for veggie takeaway -

Cussens Cottage is now closed, stephen has his own buisness fixing computers and Ita does some keep fit classes i think. Both are still involved with irish vegetarian society.
Green lodge, further south is still open and is a great place to visit

[alisont]

Anyone tried this place?

http://www.thelottscafebar.com/

A review of it said the chef was vegan - but cooks omi/fish/veggie and vegan?

If time i may investigate but will prob stick to the all veggie/vegan places:)

[alisont]

Am back - had a great trip to Dublin:) Muse were fantastic and didnt end up in a field of mud:D

Had great food at Juice, loved Blazing salads for take out, Cafe Fresh did good soup. Juice and Blazing Salads were my faves partic Juice - excellent vegan menu/food/service.

Hotel was no good for vegan breakfast but had a fridge in my room and just had cereal/fruit/beans on toast.

Most bars had Becks on tap but eek £5 a pint:eek:

Went on the Guiness tour and drank lemonade:( went to most of the museums too.

Loved the fact every Spar shop had a juice bar in - almost as many juice bars as pubs!!!

Am spent out now

[pavotrouge]

I found the Spar shops so funny... Spar is one of the cheapest low-budget supermarkets over here!

you went to see Muse? That was my very first incentive to go to Dublin but unfortunately, school started that day...

[alisont]

Yes I booked the Dublin trip around Muse once Id got a ticket, went with lots of forumers off the Muse forum. Fantastic gig with Kasabian supporting. I love Muse just seen them at V festival yesterday too (a mudbath:D)

Shame you couldnt of gone:(

I love the fact of a juice bar in every Spar!

Anyone know where to find winter coats in Dublin sans wool?

[AnneCE]

I'm going to be in Dublin the bank holiday weekend. Any up to date information? I will be going to Cornucopia, are they still good? There was talk of them expanding but has anything happened about that?
I'll mostly be self-catering (minding my sister's house on the northside) but want to know a couple of good places in the city centre.
