Going to Ireland? You Need Georgina Campbell’s Jameson Guide

Ireland has long been known for producing fine literature. In the past couple of months, since returning from a recent visit, I've read a number of Irish short story anthologies edited by Frank O'Connor, and, every time I read another story, I want to travel to Ireland, once again, to enjoy the unspoiled natural setting of its countryside.

But, the Emerald Isle has a lot more going for it than literature and scenic beauty. Visit Ireland and you'll find that it is a treasure trove of food. Not just traditional Irish food, but food that has a world-class flavor and style.

From tangy hand-crafted Irish farmhouse cheese at Sheridan's Cheesemongers, to luscious chocolate truffles and hearty hearth-style bread sold by youthful entrepreneurs at Dublin's famous Temple Bar outdoor market, Ireland is a cornucopia of luscious foodstuffs. And, to make your visit even better, innovative chefs are transforming those outstanding ingredients into food that it stylish, yet not fussy, and delivers outstanding flavor.

Visit Ireland and you will see why it's called not only the Emerald Isle, but the Food Island as well."A culinary revolution has taken place in Ireland over the past two decades, and Irish cuisine is now taking its place among the best in the world, says Kieran Tobin, Communication and Corporate Affairs Director for the Jameson Company.

So, the question is: how do you visit Ireland and make the most of your time so you can cram your vacation full of pleasant stays, enjoyable activities and fine dining? Easy. To help you get the most out of your trip, I heartily recommend that you get a copy of Georgina Campbell's Jameson® Guide, The Best Places to Eat, Drink & Stay, Ireland 2003.

This handy guide, in which listings have been independently assessed and personally selected, will give you a quick overview and a small map of each county in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and then give you detailed information about where to stay and where to eat.

When in Ireland recently, my husband and I were fortunate to dine at The King Sitric Fish Restaurant & Accommodations to enjoy the elegant ambiance and outstanding cuisine that husband and wife team Aidan and Joan MacManus offer, so I can definitely vouch for the accuracy of Georgina's write-up.

Here, for example, are a just few passages from what she says about The King Sitric Fish Restaurant & Accommodation, in County Dublin, at the quaint fishing village of Howth.
