Tucked deep within the ancient walls of the Marrakech Medina, this tiny local eatery serves one dish each night. The plate, however, is perfect in every way.

Sophie’s is Dublin’s closest relative to the New York hipster restaurant scene. Floor to ceiling glass walls of this Georgian building’s rooftop restaurant provide sprawling skyline views of town and country.

An iconic bakery, one whiff upon entering and it is difficult to do anything but swoon over the stacks, rows, and piles of baked everything.

When asked what shouldn’t be missed on the menu, the waiter grinned and noted, “the oyster ice cream.”

They opened in 1946 intent on catering to foreigners and teaching them a thing or two about traditional Moroccan cuisine.

The dock to dish offerings are supplemented with a fabulous wine list.

It is the farmers and foragers at the kitchen’s back door that guide Forest & Marcy’s seasonal selections and Sunday tasting menus.

Stoked year round, the fire at this cosy, casual, and comfortable eatery a wee bit more than an hour from Dublin.
