The things Ireland is famous for?


We were thinking about all the things tourists associate with Ireland:

- Guinness
- Cheese
- Good Soda Bread
- Riverdance
- Shamrocks
- Cheese
- Leprechauns
- The Blarney Stone

As we said these are all things tourists associate with Ireland and not the locals. For people who have never been to Ireland, now more than ever is a good time to make a visit.

Why? Parts of Ireland especially Dublin are turning into very cosmopolitan and affluent hang outs for the rich, young and trendy. Dublin and other parts of Ireland now have their fair share of luxury hotels, amazing golf courses, upmarket bars, nights clubs and gourmet restaurants.

If the metropolis does not take your fancy there are always the Irish counrty retreats provide a relaxing contrast to the city.
Michelin Star Chef Oliver Dunne opened his restaurant, Bon Appetit in Malahide a year ago and it has gone down a treat with locals and tourists.

We are auctioning an exclusive VIP tasting menu at Bon Appetit if the thought of taking a trip to Ireland has taken your fancy.
