Dublin holds a special place in my heart: I studied there and it is where I first met my husband, James. Although I now live in London, I still go back all the time for client projects and to visit family. It might be a bit of a clicheÌ, but the craic in Dublin really is better than anywhere else in the world — it’s got this vibe that is unlike anything else and everyone is a real character.
My dream Dublin day would start by waking up at The Merrion Hotel. It’s a traditional terrace right in the centre of Dublin with those elegant Georgian proportions that you just don’t find anywhere else. There’s no better place for breakfast than Daddy’s CafeÌ in Rialto; it has an old Irish kitchen vibe and is run by one of my best pals. It specialises in the very best of Irish produce. You can’t go and not try the Annascaul sausages from Co Kerry, they’re a local delicacy. Plus they’ve got the best soundtrack, you can’t help but find yourself bopping along to Madonna.
