Seapoint is home to a Martello tower that's now the headquarters of the Genealogical Society of Ireland. On the Northside you have Dollymount beach, a 5-km long stretch set to the backdrop of Dublin's Poolbeg Chimneys and Howth Head, and is surrounded by the North Bull Island Nature Reserve."

Best Locations for Wedding Photos in Dublin - Olga Hogan Photography
"A little trip away from Dublin City Centre, it’s the perfect romantic location for beach strolls or some sunset portraits. It has the tall grass, sea air and the iconic Poolbeg Towers as the quintessentially-Dublin backdrop!. A great spot for an engagement session, an elopement or a lovely portrait spot on a wedding day if you’re driving in from the south side."

"This stunning millennial-pink café serves up an all-day brunch menu along with lunch options during the week. Best of all, they put on one of the best drag brunches during the weekend. If you're ever looking for something out of the ordinary to do on the weekend this is a must - I've honestly never laughed so much, the prosecco helps too."

"In the couple of years it’s been open, Clanbrassil House has become a firm favourite among Dubliners. This tiny restaurant has a friendly neighbourhood feel, with exposed brick walls, chalkboards and high wooden tables. On the menu, expect dishes like hearty homemade sausage and unusual cuts of Irish beef cooked on the charcoal grill."

"The second of three incredible products of head chef Gráinne O'Keefe, Clanbrassil House is one of those places worth shouting about. The cosy restaurant is simple on the inside with whitewash walls and twinkling fairy lights. There's no need for tacky Instagrammable flower walls here, the food does the talking."

Best vegetarians restaurants in Dublin
"With locations across central Dublin, Govindas is a great place to stop into for lunch. You walk up to the counter and ask for a regular or large plate, and the kind soul serving you proceeds to pile it high with homemade Indian-ish tasty glop. Their food isn’t as intensely flavorful as traditional Indian, but it’s so cheap and satisfying (and the soft Hare Krishna chanting playing in the background is so soothing) that I’m never disappointed."

"Brasserie 66 is not a place that strikes you as child friendly but if you liked their food before you had kids, you’ll be happy to hear that kids are welcome and catered for. The restaurant has some booster seats and child dishes at a reduced price: ask the server for details as I don’t recall seeing a kids menu as such. Address: 66-67 South Great George’s Street, Dublin"

The food is all locally sourced and cooked to a high standard with a good mix of meat, vegetarian options and seafood - the jumbo prawn starter is the house speciality.
