Argentinian Flair in Portobello: Alma (Dublin 8)

When people happen to know that I've done a round the world trip they always ask me what my favourite country was. Without a blink, I always reply "Argentina". Barbecues with the locals in Buenos Aires, seeing penguins in their natural habitat in Puerto Madryn, cycling around the vineyards in Mendoza and sipping hot chocolate in snowy Ushuaia are some of my favourite memories of my six weeks there. Not only were some of the places we visited incredibly diverse and beautiful but the locals were some of the most laid back and friendly people I've met. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

A Brunch Made for Instagram: Legit Coffee (Dublin 7)

This is a much overdue review of a brunch which took place about four months ago. Not that it wasn't worthy of writing about, but I got distracted by life.

I wasn't aware that Legit Coffee had opened a Northside location until one of my Delicious Dublin Tours' guests who live in Phibsborough told me about it last summer.

A Very French Brunch in Dublin: Ladurée

Whenever I feel like going to Paris my cheap alternative is always to spend some time in Dublin's Ladurée. I couldn't believe it when they opened their tea house on South William Street last year and I've visited many times to buy macarons or drink a hot chocolate on a dreary day... It really does the trick to make me feel like I've been to France for a few minutes.
