Too often overshadowed by its more immediately accessible neighbour Edinburgh, what Glasgow (allegedly) lacks in grandeur and tourist attractions, it makes up for in spades with character, humour and a cracking food and drinks scene. The hosting of the Commonwealth Games in 2014 did wonders to increase the profile of this underrated second city, which

Domini Kemp has a confession. “I adore carbs. I would eat carbs three, five times a day if I could, preferably slathered with protein and fat, throw it all in there,” she says while sitting in Alchemy Juice Co, the very cafe whose menu she designed to reflect her low carb-high fat diet. “But it

On an evening when #HottestDayoftheYear was trending, the distinctively cool and collected veneer of Grand Canal Square in Dublin’s Docklands had melted. Ties discarded and heels swapped for sandals, people sprawled out on benches, mingled amongst the distinctive ‘light sticks’, and pooled outside the bars and eateries that flank the canal. There was a playful

Last month marked the “official” opening of yet another Dublin restaurant, on the increasing popular stretch that is Angier Street, this time thankfully not another doughnut joint but instead a location that has been designed to “create a space for typical Dublin social intercourse”. Making a bold statement like that on your homepage will definitely

It’s easy to see why Dunmore East in County Waterford is such a popular holiday destination.

I recently travelled to Clare with the intention of visiting a restaurant that has been on my dining bucket list for quite a while now.

One thing I am always keen to quiz chefs about is their go-to off duty dinner choice and one name crops up time and time again – Etto. The petite Merrion Row eatery opened by Liz Matthews and Simon Barrett in 2014 to great acclaim, earning a Bib Gourmand after just 8 months and securing

Uma Thurman’s cool and mischievous character from classic cult film Pulp Fiction would love Dillinger’s. While there’s no dance floor in this American style restaurant and the music leans more towards upbeat synthesisers than electric guitars, the drink’s list was way more exiting than the overpriced milkshake she shared with John Travolta’s charming gangster in the iconic diner scene. Unsurprisingly busy

We’re not in Kansas anymore. We’re in wonderful Australia, where Christmas happens during summertime and where Syrah is spelled Shiraz. Unlike the characters of L. Frank Baum’s children’s classic, winemakers in Oz don’t need to find a wizard’s help as they already have plenty of brains, heart and courage, and they’re using them all to up the country’s

A glimpse of the label shows that you’re holding something unique: no sumptuous châteaux nor baroquish vineyard illustrations, instead a topographic view of Wicklow’s Great Sugar Loaf Mountain and above it the word Móinéir -Irish for Meadow- followed by the phrase Fine Strawberry Wine. The wine, Wicklow Way Wines’ flagship product, is the fruit of nearly two decades of research and experimentation as

Going through postcards from Alsace, you’ll realise how they evoke both French and German aesthetics; a superficial exercise that demonstrates a deep link created by a history of -not always peaceful- exchanges with both Estates and that has shaped more than the architecture of the region located in the Northwest of France, adjacent to Switzerland and Germany.

Half way down Italy’s “boot” in the Pescara commune of the Abruzzo region lies a quaint hilltop town named Loreto Aprutino. The rooftops, normally a russet terracotta colour, are covered in snow that luminesces in the half-light of the dusk of winter. A cooling, hazy night air softens the lights of the streetlamps so that

With a shock of scarlet hair, knuckles flanked with chunky rings, and blue eyes as striking as her mane, you couldn’t help but notice Elaine Murphy; and in contrast to the modest, traditional surroundings of her restaurant The Winding Stair her signature style is all the more eye-catching.

The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list’s judging process often raises a few eyebrows. But despite its ambiguity more and more gastro-tourists are turning to the World’s 50 Best, rather than the Michelin Guide; considering it a cooler, less stuffy, snapshot of the greatest gastronomic experiences across the globe.
