Kayleigh here. We stopped in here for a quick breakfast/lunch/afternoon snack (long story) upon seeing a sign in the window advertising gluten free muffins and cakes. At 2:00 in the afternoon, they still had two chocolate muffins that were gluten free, along with a decent selection of cake slices and energy bars. The muffins were sweet and moist, and while we did not try the desserts, they looked fantastic. And the location was great for sipping a coffee and watching all the people walk by on their way downtown.
Jason here. This was a pleasant find for us on our walk in
downtown Dublin. When I learned Ireland had the highest rate of celiac disease
in the world, I figured there would be plenty of places we could spontaneously
stop in at. The reality is, I found no more or less than back home. I ordered a
pretty simple chocolate chocolate chip muffin that were separately packaged and
looked almost store bought. However, there were other fresh looking gluten free
items available that I opted not to get. The chocolate muffin was simply too
enticing to pass up after skipping breakfast.
Beshoff Restaurant
Kayleigh here. While I was looking forward to sampling all sorts of fresh fish and chips during our stay, Jason was hardly expecting to have the opportunity. We came across this place after a full day of walking through Dublin with feet sore and minds weary, so we opted to look up a place near the city center instead of poking into pubs and quizzing wait staff.
When we arrived, Beshoff's informed us that any of the fish could be fried with gluten free batter, and would be placed in the chips-only fried to avoid cross contamination. Despite being a fast food joint, they took efforts to keep his food separate during preparation, which was nice to see. Gluten free fried haddock and chips- who would have expected that?

Jason here. Beshoff’s may be my favorite restaurant we
visited while in Ireland. They have an impeccable gluten free menu, and take
great care not to cross contaminate anything. I seriously never expected to
find any gluten free fried foods by this point in the trip. Kayleigh had been
raving about fish and chips since way before we visited Ireland, so this was
finally my chance to see what all the fuss was about. I ordered the haddock
fish and chips after asking Kayleigh for a recommendation.
The French fries were pretty good, but I actually really
enjoyed the deep fried fish. It was thickly battered, and I love that deep
fried batter taste. I wish I could find this back home.
Suso Gelateria
Kayleigh here. Once we finished up our meal at Beshoff's, we decided to pop into the Gelateria next door and ask about their selections. They pointed out which flavors had cookies or other gluten-containing items in them, and told us we would be safe to order any other flavors in a cup. Make sure they do not add the wafer garnish to the cup at the end, though.

Jason here. Suso had plenty of options to choose from,
although I admit I found it a bit daunting trying to figure out which ones were
gluten free. Staff was plenty friendly, so if you’re not sure about anything
feel free to ask.
