HEY, DUBLIN, YOU may be one of the Lonely Planet’s top ten destinations, but we’ll be looking elsewhere for grub.

What do you reckon? Well, we looked at the evidence, and here are ten incontestable reasons why they’re quite right.

A Cork cult favourite. So popular they’ve installed a camera in the shop so you can monitor the queues on the website.

This veggie haven was recently named the best restaurant in Ireland in the annual TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards. Yes, meat-loving Ireland is embracing the veg – and can you blame them when everything looks so delish?
