Hi Martin,

I don't know Glasgow & Edinburgh that well, Graeme will fill you in on that, but while in Dublin, here's a few pointers.

1. Johnny Fox's in Glencullen, South Dublin, somewhere up in the Dublin mountains. Good seafood. It's quite famous & you'll see sign posts for it on most busy/big junctions up along the mountain roads. Check out the excellent seafood menu http://www.jfp.ie/home.htm  get a taxi or hire a car to get there.
2. Anglers rest, chapelizard, north Dublin. good seafood.
3. Guinness brewery
4. Bewleys cafe... of which there are quite a few dotted around Dublin, a typical Irish cafe serving all day breakfasts to meals, cakes, tea etc.
5. Enniskerry - drive or bus it there.
6. Powerscourt estate just outside Enniskerry
7. For the best seafood... head west to Cork, Kinsale & further on. While in Cork, check out the English market & pick up a kilo or 2 of salted ling.

DC.
