There's almost no free seats at this big buffet in Moore Street Mall. And at €6.50 for all you can…read moreeat, it's no wonder. The offering is split evenly between standard Indian takeaway fare and a bold range of African staple dishes. I was pretty impressed by the wide selection, and thrilled to see it was all so affordable (in most of the sandwich places upstairs €7 barely fills a bagel). The dining area is clean and managed well by a busy staff. While the cafeteria style room is open to the larger mall, there is a glassed off end of the space for more private dining. Skip the Spars and O'Briens at ground level next time you're Northside, and try lunch on the cheap and tasty in Moore Street Mall.

Very hungry so wanted something nearby and quick so tried out Spicy Bite, a buffet-style eatery at…read morethis basement-located food court in the city center. The price was right, the quantity of possible food was right but where was the spice. Quickly learning that here in Ireland a "2" on the spicy-meter means it's spicy when I need it to be an "8", "9" or a "10" for my own tastes ... which is unfortunate. Won't be going back here but this place gets the 2nd star cause it wasn't horrible, just disappointing.

While it sounds like it is a spot with games and all the fun things to play, George's Street Arcade…read moreis actually a covered shopping passthrough in Dublin linking two sides of the city center. However, don't get upset, it is still a fun place and honestly has the energy of what us American's think of when we see "arcade"! Small but mighty and packed full of shoppes, coffee shops and eateries from one entrance to the other. Vendor stalls line the middle of the space and while they are revolving, they usually feature art, souvenirs, clothing etc. The space itself is very historic and has been in use in this capacity for a very long time. The architecture of the building is gorgeous and screams old world Ireland. While wandering around Dublin, we made sure to walk through George's Arcade. We grabbed a small piece of art from one of the vendors and a chocolate treat from another. It was certainly time well spent! Overall, great little market worth a venture through if for nothing more than saying you did it!

The different this Plaza offers is the mini-museum located upstairs. It is free to enter and speaks about US Presidents and especially its namesake Barack Obama. Did you know Obama was Irish? The mini-museum can be covered in 5-10 minutes, so its worth popping up there. There are also more restrooms upstairs should you be arriving alongside a tour bus. No need to make a special trip, but if you need a break and gas, why not?

There is not enough room to explain why this spacious, well built and elegant place (the biggest…read moremall in Ireland) is so epic and enjoyable. The exterior and interior architecture and decor, the multitude of different shops of all kinds, the large go to chains, the everything under 1 roof vibe, the assortment of restaurants and cafes, the water fountain performances outside with even more to see and do including a huge beautiful movie cinema right next to a McDonald's and at least 15 other food choices, a pub and a buffet.... You are missing nothing here. This place is for everyone, it's not for rich people or mall rats like complainers say. It is spacious and has a huge indoor parking lot built better than most and yes there are maps. This place was done so well it's hard to complain anything and keep a straight face. Dundrum is so fun, elegant and beautiful. It's a beautiful weekly must. It is missing nothing. Ps Go here on Christmas and it's a wonderland too.

Great mall in Dublin! Has everything in there, from high end shopping to bargain stores, there's…read moresomething for everyone. In the store Pennies for example we got a lot of souvenirs (Ireland t-shirts) to bring back to the states for literally €3.50. If you come here around 1&2 though all of the kids getting out of school come there to congregate lol. We saw this as we were leaving and there were piles of happy busy teens in their school uniforms coming into the mall.

Cheap craft beer, excellent all types of food, from meats, to cheeses, to pasta, salmon, beef, you name it! Great cafe, pizza, butcher, sweets, I can keep going on. I wish I took more pictures (what kinda Yelp Elite am I ?!) You can order food and eat at the provided tables they have there so it doesn't all have to be take-away. Oh, you can just buy beer at the fridge and drink it there as well.

If you're wandering around Grafton Street, as tourists often find themselves doing in Dublin,…read moreyou're bound to run into Stephen's Green Shopping Centre. Its most-unique greenhouse architecture allows so much natural light to come through the glass roof. I absolutely loved the look of it. We took a stroll through all three floors. Having never been to the country, I was unfamiliar with most of the shops, but I took note of the few I recognized (Boots, TK Maxx, Claire's.) We were momentarily tempted to try the Chinese restaurant upstairs but thought better of it. Restrooms are also located on the uppermost level. Not super bustling, seemed to be going the way of most malls. And although I wasn't taken by any store in particular, I enjoyed the structure's design & seeing what a Dublin shopping centre has to offer.

The thick burger had very good, fresh meat with a nice bread bun that is not the usual one. The lettuce and onions were fresh. Overall, a pretty decent burger! I would eat it again.

Keep expectations low of course but recommended if you need a bite while in transit!

When you think of shopping locations in Dublin, Nutgrove is heading on the tip of your tongue. But…read moremaybe it should be if you are heading South side anytime soon and don't want to be lost in the crowds at Dundrum. Nutgrove has some of Ireland's biggest names in retail, including, Tesco, Dunnes Stores, Boots, Penny's, Hughes & Hughes, Argos, Bus Stop and Golden Discs. Not to mention the Carphone Warehouse, O2 and Vodafone. It also has lots of other cool stores to fulfill all you shopping needs like a chemist, opticians, fashion and shoe stores, jewelers, book and stationary store and arts and hobbies stores. Apart from shopping it offers lots of services like, Post Office, Halifax, ATM's, Social Welfare Office, Tax Office, Credit Union, and lots of passport photo machines! As for food, my favourite type of service, well there is enough artery clogging fast food here to satisfy the fatty in all of us, McDonald's, Burger King, Eddie Rockets, Pretzel King, India Gate Restaurant and they are in the process of building a Subway Sandwich! Yummy! There is plenty of parking and even an Eco Car Wash that you can have done whilst you shop! If you don't dive the centre is serviced by the number 16A, 17, 75 and 161 buses.

It also has lots of functional things like Hairdressers, motor tax office and a nice area for lunch.
