Pubs & Grub along the Wild Atlantic Way??

We are foodies! Our trips consist of golf (for my husband), photography (for me) and food & drink everywhere along the way!! We plan our driving routes not only for scenery... but around food fare we want to try. ...and when our days go from driving to walking, we love to stop for a good pint or dram here and there.

We are headed to Ireland (3rd time) in August for the next leg in my husband's Mecca golf course journey! We will be staying 2 nights in Newcastle, 1 night in Malin Head, 2 nights in Ardara, 2 nights in Rossnowlagh, 1 in Strandhill and the last 2 days of the journey in Dublin for the last course and to fly on back home.

We LOVE seafood, soups, brown bread - heck we love it all! We just did this in scotland last year and are ready to explore and taste more of Ireland!!

We would love to hear any recommendations of foods that we really should try, pubs we should visit and actually any sites as we drive our way across the north of Ireland. We do prefer places off the beaten trail, the ones that maybe aren't as known (which is why its always hard to find them online) and we are not afraid to try new things!

Thank you for your time and we greatly thank your for sharing your experiences with us!!

Having been to Dublin before, I assume you have had take away at Leo Burdocks, a local favorite. There are a few places around town. Best fish and chips ever (except maybe in Dover).

I haven’t been to the north of Ireland yet, so cannot comment there.
We are foodie’s too! I usually make dinner reservations prior to embarking on the trip.
In Dublin, we enjoyed the two star Michelin restaurant called Patrick Gilbaud. It was quite an experience!
We also enjoyed The Pig’s Ear in Dublin!
Have fun!
We are headed both to Scotland and Ireland (2nd trip) this summer. Would love to hear any food recommendations for Scotland! You can PM me if you like.
