Over a decade on it remains a beacon of quality and consistency, sourcing and roasting. Their food menu is also a massive draw, changing regularly with the seasons. Their bakes are similarly legendary, particularly the ‘pie and drip’ special, a slice of pie and a drip coffee for £7.50, available only on Sundays until sold out. established.coffee St George's Market – for a food market Saturday is the day the city’s historic Victorian covered market properly springs to life, packed with stallholders, street food traders and food and drink producers aplenty.

description: Discover how to include healthy greens in your diet with our recipes, from kale and spinach to watercress, pak choi and lettuce
encoded: Let's be honest, most of us could probably benefit from a more regular supply of the green stuff in our diets, but that doesn't need to mean loading your plate with salad if that's not your thing.

description: Pay a visit to Dingle for a foodie Irish weekend without breaking the bank. Here we review a celebrated B&B, Castlewood House, and recommend top spots for eating and drinking out
encoded: Read our foodie guide to Dingle, Ireland, then discover the best Irish holidays. What could be more romantic than blustery weather, a quiet bay and a bag of hot chips for two? If you don’t mind togging up, Dingle in west Kerry makes a perfect lovers' retreat. Take Castlewood House, a family-run B&B where most rooms overlook the sparkling Dingle Bay (keep an eye out for Fungie the local dolphin, who's called this town home since 1984) and everyone gets a pillowy soft bed and jacuzzi bath. The bathrooms are so squeaky clean that you can't help but try and keep them that way; never has a B&B room smelt this good either – soapy and floral, but subtly so. Owners Helen and Brian are the pampering sort: freshly baked cake is available every afternoon in the living room, a space so comfortable and homely that we were close to wandering through in our pyjamas. The two golden armchairs by the window are eagerly sought after – settle yourself down and watch the hypnotic waters of Dingle Bay, a view that manages to be beautiful even in the rain. There's a neat little takeaway tea station in a corner of the porch, glowing candles throughout come evening and paintings by Irene Woods (Helen's mum) lining the staircase. It's considerate touches like these that have made Castlewood so successful – as well as our own glowing recommendation, TripAdvisor has crowned it best small hotel in Ireland three years running. Just one more compliment – about the breakfast this time. Brian is in charge of a menu that wows with 17 cooked options, all of them included in your stay. Choose from fluffy pancakes with pretty fruit compote, Dingle kippers with scrambled egg or 'Helen's breakfast treat' – a devilish bowl of porridge laced with your choice of Irish booze, brown sugar or cream. And as of spring 2017, those guests who prefer a lighter start to the day can choose Brian's 'cloud eggs' (egg yolks nestled in fluffy egg white pillows). In the unlikely event that you're not quite full, there's a…
