Pubs are very much a part of Ireland's culture. On my most recent trip, I decided to delve a little more deeply into the pub scene.
The Dublin dining scene is never disappointing. More than ever, chefs are assertive in using Irish ingredients and creating farm-to-table preparations.
This month, Mr. Harper uncovers two new hotels in Ireland, along with a splendid new luxury hotel in Paris' Saint-Germain-des-Pres.
Countless words have been used to try to capture the spirit and the essence of Ireland. Indeed, this island to the northwest of continental Europe has inspired and produced some of the most renowned poets and writers of the past century. Yet, Ireland's dramatic scenery, warm and generous people, and near-perfect blend of the cosmopolitan and the traditional are best experienced in person.
The caliber of Dublin's restaurants has increased markedly in recent years, and you need never worry about finding a good meal in Ireland's capital.
Like any great city, Dublin is always revealing itself in new ways, which keeps its allure fresh.
