Dublin

Ireland53.3498° N · 6.2603° W5 stories

Dublin's reputation was built on pints and talk, but its table has caught up with its pubs: a generation of Irish chefs is reworking superb native produce — grass-fed beef and dairy, island oysters, wild seafood — while the city's Victorian bars pour on, largely unchanged. Eating and drinking here now means moving between both worlds, ideally in the same evening.
