Michelin Green Guide Ireland

From the Michelin Green Guides series.

Visitors to Ireland will find a warm welcome and a friendly extrovert people, enjoying the benefits of a modern fast-growing economy, fostered by membership in the European Union.

Dublin, the capital city on the east coast, offers a lively urban scene of shops and entertainment against an elegant Georgian backdrop. Restaurants serving excellent food and wine, and convivial pubs and bars, combining the traditional Guinness and whiskey with music and lively talk - known as crack (craic) - are found not only in Dublin but also in the pleasant country towns, which are the focal points of a predominantly agricultural country. Slim round towers and ancient Christian crosses recall early Irish piety and scholarship. Ruined castles and tower houses bear witness to a turbulent history.

The natural and unpolluted environment favours outdoor activities: walking in luxuriant gardens and forest parks, studying the ecology of the peat bog, cruising on slow waterways, fishing at sea or in mountain streams, rambling on foot or on horseback in the mountains or on great sandy beaches.

Despite many waves of immigration, Ireland has preserved a stronger Celtic tradition than other European countries. Together with the legacy of the great flowering of Irish craftsmanship in the relatively peaceful years of the 18C, it inspires the music and artistry of the present day.
