Best Donuts in Dublin

"The Dublin donut chain serves up delicious donuts that are famed for their fantastic flavours. From pistachio salted caramel to maple bacon and even GIN flavours, there's no donut craving these sugary treats can't satisfy."

"Take a stroll on the most important street in the country and enjoy a perfect slice of deliciousness as you walk about town."

"Located in Pearse DART station, these donuts are full, flavoursome and delicious. Featuring oozing cream-filled centres and quirky seasonal themes – they're sure not to disappoint."

"They don't have their own home yet, but instead supply some of the best cafés in town. Absolutely incredible. READ NEXT: A New Creme Egg Café Will Open For 7 Weeks Only"

"Aungier Danger was named for its original location on Dublin’s Aungier Street, but they have recently found a second home in Arnotts department store, and on October 14, 2016, they opened another outlet of the same name on George’s Street. The newest shop is already causing the same kind of hysteria as the first one did when it opened in 2015, with hordes of dedicated doughnut lovers queueing in the rain to try and get their hands on a limited edition flavour, specially created for the opening day. Must-try flavour: Oreo marshmallow"

"The new kid on the block – but if the queues out the door during its first week have told us anything, it’s that they are seriously popular. The flavour creations are excellent and the quality is seriously fresh."

"You'll be lucky to get one in here before they sell out every single day, but they're really are worth braving the queues."

"This other much loved local chain sells some of the most decadent donuts you'll find. From Nutella ring donuts to peanut buttercup flavour, their moreish fillings and toppings will satisfy even the sweetest tooth. They've even recently started selling UNICORN donuts which pretty much makes them legends in our eyes."

"We ate this unicorn donut at Offbeat Donut Company in the land of leprechauns. The irony is palpable. It was a dark day when we realized that our favorite Dublin donut shop had closed."

"I’m always intrigued by the flavors, from every chocolate combo imaginable to the above pictured lemon meringue and banoffee options at Offbeat Donuts."

"You don't have to eat Krispy Kreme to know what a real American donut tastes like. As the name suggests, these gorgeous donuts are like a bite of American life with flavours such as s'more, cookie monster and of course the famous Boston creme."

"Technically, it's little bit outside of Dublin's official boundaries, but close enough for a weekend visit, and super easy to access via the Dart. Loads of different sea life for children to see; including sea horses, black tip sharks and leopard sharks. For any kids tiring of the zoo, this will be really exciting for them as they can get involved with feeding times and engage with the interactive rock pool."

"With over 30 displays and 1000 creatures Sea Life is always popular with the kids and adults alike. The aquarium contains Ireland’s largest collection of sharks as well as other tropical fish, octopus and fish found in Ireland’s lakes, rivers and seas. Feedings and talks take place at Sea Life throughout the day."

"Sea Life in Bray is a really fun day out and definitely worth a visit. Get up close with over 1,000 amazing sea creatures and let your little ones discover something fascinating. Make the most of your visit by attending some of their talks and feeding demonstrations which are held throughout the day."

"Just on the other side of the Liffey from Phoenix Park, in Kilmainham, the Irish War Memorial Gardens are a beautiful quiet spot for a first look or your wedding portraits. Just like with St Stephen’s Green and Iveagh Gardens, you’ll need to get permission from the OPW. In return you’ll get one of the most beautiful backdrop of wisteria, roses or ivy – depending on what season you find yourself there!"

"St. Anne’s is the second-largest park in Dublin, sitting at 240 acres, and was formerly an estate owned by the Guinness family. On top of walking paths, rose gardens and ponds, the park boasts some great sporting facilities in the form of tennis courts and football pitches."

"Saint Anne’s Park is located on the Northside of Dublin and is one of the most beautiful parks in the county. The park is home to old ruins, Chinese Suzhou Gardens, Rose Gardens and some magical artwork. On the outskirts of the park lies Ireland’s very own tree of life."

"Mimicking American diners of the 1950s, Irish retro-restaurant chain Eddie Rocket’s does dessert better than any of its rivals. Their chocolate brownies and cookie sliders are widely celebrated, but their milkshakes and malts made with premium dairy ice cream could qualify as desserts in and of themselves – the imaginative menu blends heavenly flavours like Kinder Bueno, Oreo cookie and Reese’s® Peanut Butter Cup."

"Sure it's a burger joint, but I think Eddie does a decent burger – and the milkshakes are the best in the land. Kids are king in this place, with colouring books, kids' menu and a gift on leaving. The menu is more of a treat, but the music and speed of service sometimes makes this the best choice."

"There has been plenty of hype surrounding the American burger chain and rightly so. Five Guys do greasy burgers like no other – only bad aspect is their only restaurant is in Dundrum."

"Located in Temple Bar, the Project Arts Centre has become a leader in contemporary artistic practice in Dublin and in Ireland. It also hosts local and international festivals like the Dublin Writers Festival, the Dublin Theatre Festival or the Dublin Fringe Festival."

"Tucked away in the historic cobbled streets of Temple Bar is Project Arts Centre, Dublin's best kept secret, a venue packed full of surprises."

"Again, you will have done your homework and booked something in advance, we hope (though there always is a chance to get late tickets even for the Abbey Theatre, with a bit of luck). If you are set on enjoying an Irish night out, a large number of pubs offer their services and many also provide entertainment (free or for a small fee in most cases). Just follow the crowds, which will, more than likely, bring you to the Temple Bar area."
