Belfast Airport - Belfast

The next morning, we explored the Titanic museum: 

Then we went to the airport to catch our flight to Glasgow with some food along the way:
Steak Chips and a club sandwich
Steak chips!!! They were definitely different.

Belfast Christmas Market - Belfast

Giant's Causeway

Dark Hedges

Belfast Christmas Market!





Sandwich and a Roast Beef and Potatoes in a Yorkshire Pudding
I loved the roast beef and potatoes - there was so much sauce that it soaked into the Yorkshire pudding and it was just so fun to eat! 

Paella
I thought this was a disappointing cup of paella (and it was tiny)

 
Bailey's Hot Chocolate
A deliciously decadent treat!

So many yummy Italian sweets! 

All these cookies!!

Pistachio cannoli - omg so yummy! We bought one to try and when we circled back later, they had already sold out of all of their pistachio cannoli. 
Cookies
The cookies were pretty yummy, but not as amazing as the pistachio cannoli.

Gregg's - Belfast

We took the train to Belfast to see the beautiful natural scenery of Northern Ireland. 

We did a quick pit stop to grab breakfast on our way out of Belfast to the Giant's Causeway. 
It was here that I discovered Gregg's pies. 

Steak Bake £1.65 and Festive Bake (Turkey dinner style) £1.75
The pies were so good! Flaky on the outside and so tasty. 

Yum! (Eating on the go)

Skinflint - Dublin

Update: Skinflint has closed. 
Dublin at Night

Irish Bar with Irish Music! :) (not where I had dinner though)

Skinflint had a really cool kind of hip vibe and it was really busy. 

Top pizza: Suzi+ with harissa, chorizo, pink peppercorns and cheese
Bottom pizza: Lucy with rocket (arugula), onions and cheese
The pizza was on this amazing crispy thin crust flatbread and it was really yummy. 


Beshoff Bros - Howth, Ireland

Day trip to Howth - which is one of the prettiest and most scenic places I've ever visited. 
Every picture I took was postcard worthy. 

Sunset

Lunch was at Beshoff Bros, which is a fish and chips chain restaurant in Ireland. It's popular for a good reason!

Smoked haddock €10.45 and Scampi with chips €9.45
The smoked haddock was really interesting, but I wasn't a fan of the smoky flavour of the fish. The  shrimp was really good and the tartar sauce was yummy! 

The chips
The portions were quite sizable and the chips were very tasty without being too salty.

Edelwise - Dublin

After exploring the Dublin Christmas Market, my friend and I went for dinner at a Swiss Fondue place. 
So Festive!

Edelwise was nicely decorated - it's a small intimate restaurant. 


Amuse Bouche of Bruschetta

Cheese Fondue!
The seven Swiss cheese Fondue, (Gruyère AOP Corsé, Gruyère AOP Primeur, Vacherin Frib. AOP Classic, Vacherin Frib. AOP Extra,  Appenzeller Classic, Appenzeller Surchoix, Toggenburger Rustico) served with fresh bread. 

Bread, pearl onions, pickles and meat platter. 

The cheese fondue was delicious - it was a great mixture of melted cheese and every bite was really yummy!
