A Day In Dublin With Gemma Burke

Gemma is a well known face in the Dublin blogging scene, she’s a city native, super-fun to be around and, a massive lover of all things beauty so, I was excited to see her take on the city.

I’m starting my perfect day by…

Having a great coffee and a pastry while watching Parks and Recreation in bed. Perfection.

I’m heading for a solo breakfast so I head to…

Probably Noshington on the South Circular road. I can walk to it and they do an amazing breakfast and brunch menu.

No morning is complete without an epic coffee. I grab mine from…

Can I say Noshington again? They do a mean cappuccino. Or the Thursday Café.

I have to catch up on work so I work from…

Usually grab the bus into town and end up in Starbucks. Decent Wi-Fi, plugs and comfy chairs.

All that work has worked up an appetite so for lunch I head to…

Takara on Abbey Street. Great Japanese food and really reasonably priced.

I meet a friend with their kids so to keep ‘em entertained I bring them to…

The Phoenix Park. You can go deer watching, or wander around Farmleigh House and gardens, all for free.

Next up, a spot of shopping. This means I’m straight in to…

The beauty hall in Arnotts or Brown Thomas. I can’t help myself.

I want to impress an out-of-town friend so I bring them to this Dublin hidden gem…

Kilmainham Goal. Not so much hidden, but it’s off the typical city centre beaten track. I grew up going to it all the time as a kid. I never tire of the history and learning about what took place there.

I’m going for a celebratory dinner so it has to be…

Yamamori on Ormond Quay. I never realised how much I choose Japanese food. Monty’s of Kathmandu is another amazing spot.

This night calls for a drink so I bring them on a mini pub-crawl to three of my faves…

Our favourite spot The Headline bar, maybe Underdog (under Brogan’s for a couple), and then P. Mac’s.

Those drinks have got us in the mood for dancing so it has to be…

My days boogying in a nightclub are long gone, but if I fancy a little bop, we would probably head to Whelan’s or Anseo. They are more bars with loud decent music.

All that dancing have worked up an appetite so, we grab some late-night eats in…

Zaytoon 100%. Best ‘fancy’ kebab in the city.

My favourite thing about the city is…

All there is to do here in Dublin. It’s small so it’s easy to navigate, but there is endless places to go and things to see.

If I was a tourist in this city I’d definitely stay in…

An Airbnb for sure. It’s nice to experience a city at your own pace and live as the natives do…kinda sorta.
