Time For A Coffee Break
If you're anything like us, by now you are laden with bags and in need of a rest! At Christmas time
in Dublin, one of our favourite places to go is the inimitable Bewley's Café on Grafton Street.
Nearly 100 years old, Bewley's has been a firm favourite amongst Dubliners for decades, known for
award-winning coffee, delicious food and its timeless charm. But Bewley's is more than just a café -
steeped in literary and artistic importance, famous writers like James Joyce, W.B. Yeats and Samuel
Beckett once gathered here.
Where? Bewley's Cafe, 78-79 Grafton Street
Pamper Yourself
Feeling rejuvenated after a delicious coffee in Bewley's, accompanied by some people-watching on Grafton Street? Good. Now, head over to Planet Beauty on Clarendon Street. With over 60 cutting-edge brands across skincare, makeup and haircare, think of Planet Beauty as a fun, educational, experiential space for some self-care time. Why not treat yourself to a little pampering by booking in for a nail or brow appointment.

Let's Eat
It's time to enjoy a decadent dining experience, and where better than Brown's Brasserie? Discover
delicious French-inspired cuisine made using only the very best local produce. Plus, you can now
enjoy festive seasonal dishes at Brown's Brasserie, including the Noël Speciale, featuring turkey,
ham and all the trimmings. Finish your meal with the seasonal Gingerbread Bellini and Christmas
Pudding, served warm with Chantilly cream.

Feel The Love
Now, with full bellies and full hearts, it's time to take in the beautiful Christmas lights that
adorn Dublin's streets. Start close to home, right outside Brown Thomas, and if you're lucky you'll
get to see our very own singing doorman, pictured here last year. After you've enjoyed the show, we
recommend making your way to the Dublin Castle Christmas Market, enjoying the lights along the way.
There, you can browse the stalls peacefully, sipping on a hot chocolate or a mulled wine. What
better way to end your day?
