Dalkey Travel Guide

 Jellytotty Says:  Dalkey (pronounced) daawkey is a little village on the privileged southside of Dublin. You can spot all the stars (bono and the edge) in some of the bars, mostly finnegans and the queens. Have a quick drink with the Sunday papers then head down the coast to Killiney beach... 

 Ruai Says:  This gives a great view of the history of the village and is housed in one of the original 7 castles of Castle St (goats castle), which later became the town hall and is now mainly used as a hall for concerts and plays. The only other castle remaining is Archbold's castle,... 

 Ruai Says:  From the top of Killiney Hill you get lovely views across Dublin and down into Wicklow. It'll be different every time you come and on a sunny day you can see why this stretch of the Dublin Coast inspired people to think of the Bay of Naples (hence the many italianite names... 

 karm_ella Says:  I recently visited in during a weekend trip to killiney. I thought the food was really tasty and the menu was extensive enough, the ambience was great as were the staff. The decoe is cooly and comfy, worth a visit.... Steak Burger, Fillet Steak, breaded plaice and a special... 

 christies1 Says:  great place, nice staff, great atmosphere, amazing food too! Specials and brekkie, panini's 2 die 4 

 Red_Hugh Says:  If fish and chips are your thing than grab a big greasy handful at Borza's :-) fish and chips! 

 Ruai Says:  The Idlewilde is one of several cafes in the village and offers breakfast and lunch food with good coffee. Its the sort of place you might go into to read papers on a Sunday and has a nice laidback atmosphere. On sunny days you can eat out in the courtyard. The staff are... 

 Red_Hugh Says:  Every village needs a cheap and filling takeaway and Dalkey is lucky enough to have two of them. This is one and will satisfy your needs reasonably if you're not too fussy. Take your takeout to the coast and sit by the waters edge. Really, what more could you ask for... 

 Ruai Says:  Recently refurbished, Jaipoor serves a wide range of Indian food. I'm no expert on Indian food but I really enjoyed it and, judging from the contented hum all around me in the crowded restaurant, so did the other customers. Its pretty reasonably priced too, especially if you... 

 Red_Hugh Says:  Pretty limited if pleasant choice of snacks. A good place to come with a big pile of papers of a Sunday. The trick is to try and grab the couch at the back :-) It has wifi so also handy if you want to lug your comp down and work away on it. Coffee! 

 Ruai Says:  The pub is one of the Dalkey pubs that caters to local Dalkeyites. As such it has a mixed age group and a relaxed atmosphere. It does a carvery lunch every day and in the evenings serves good (and enormous) portions of food. Pop up to the balcony and you'll be able to admire... 

 Ruai Says:  Usually the best way to get to Dalkey from Dublin is by the DART commuter train. It takes about 30 minutes and will cost about 2 euro. You can also catch the 7D bus from Dublin but it takes at least an hour so unless you actually enjoy bus journeys . . . 

 sabsi Says:  When I was walking from Dalkey to Killiney I turned around a corner and suddenly there they were: 30 Italian tourists with a guitar singing "With or Without You". I realised that it was Bono's house I was passing by. They were sitting in front of his gate waiting for him to...
