Umbrella Asian Tapas

Atmospheric, colourful and amazing service, Umbrella Asian Tapas ticks all the boxes. This intimate restaurant is an ideal place to go dining alone as you’ll want plenty of time to take in all of the gorgeous décor around you. Not to mention, the food here is out of this world and going solo ensures you don’t have to share - it’s a win-win!

The Lane Wine & Cheese

A relaxed after work drink and accompanying cheese and charcuterie board is The Lane’s speciality. A neighbourhood wine bar at its finest, you might arrive at the door here on your own but we can guarantee you’ll be making friends and having a laugh with strangers by the end of the evening.

Búilín Blasta

Escape to Spiddal and take some time for yourself to wander around the gorgeous craft village and finish off your gallivanting at Búilín Blasta. During the day the beautiful café serves delicious coffee, iced drinks and light bites and transforms into a wine bar in the evenings. This is just the place every solo traveller hopes to happen upon.

Xian Street Food

The casual Chinese restaurant, Xian Street Food is ideal for people travelling alone and looking for a quick bite to eat. Downstairs you can take in the nonstop action of people coming and going as well as the bustle of their open kitchen. Upstairs, the pace is slower and if you snag a window seat you can enjoy a bit of people watching while you tuck into platters of deliciousness.
