Janice Byrne Goldsmith

Goldsmith

👍👍 I have followed Janice's work for years. When I was lucky enough to be able to commission my dream ring, it had to be from her. It seems incredible that through an entirely virtual consultation and design process, Janice created a ring that is so perfectly me. I knew it would be beautiful, but when...

Moyee Coffee

Coffee roasters

👍👍 I've been a fan and consumer of Moyee for a couple of years now, without doubt Dark Roast is my favourite. I've pretty much moved away from big brand pods completely and there's no looking back. I've also been privileged to see Moyee's operation in southwest Ethiopia first hand, and what they're doi...

👍👍 Love all of Sarah’s recommendations and I’ll always check her blog before I take a trip. Just back from Toulouse which was a fabulous weekend break. Afraid to open her newsletter this week in case I book another one!

Glass Mask Theatre

Theater company

👍👍 On vacation from the US, and watched an incredible show at Glass Mask Theatre! The performance is in a cafe called Bestseller, which has a great wine selection and small plates before the show. The show itself was incredibly engaging, with talented actors and a wonderful script. The actors were top-...

The Armbarista Coffee

Dublin City Hot Yoga

Yoga studio

👍👍 I've attended many studios and, in this one, I've found more progress in my postures. The teachers seem to underline mindfulness in this studio as well, which has helped me in ways I thought I never knew I needed. I'm not the person I was 2 years ago and I've never been happier with myself. There's...

Academy Coffee Dublin

Cafe

👍 Situated in the hotel Academy Plaza. Very friendly staff. Small but good choice of warm drinks and coffee with a little offer of croissants and sweet pastries. The bar is new and nicely designed but situated in the cold reception of the hotel.

Doppelgangers Coffee

Coffee shop

👍👍 Stellar folks. Took me a moment to realize why they’re called doppelgängers. Very witty. I was lost & conned, & they kindly gave me directions along with understanding & support. Their flat white is also Perfection. Local Legends, absolute heroes these guys. Appreciate your help.

The DL Bar and Restaurant

Restaurant

👍👍 A really hidden gem and we are SHOCKED by how great the food and drinks are. We had the pork belly salad, the half rack of ribs (fall off the bone 😋) and a margaritas and the chillax cocktail. Seriously, all were amazing. This place needs to get wayyy more busy and recognized for the delicious food...

The venue was spacious, well decor...
