5. Discover Korean Cuisine at Kimchi Hophouse
Korean cuisine is far less famous than Chinese and Japanese food; however, it is worth a try! This healthy cuisine uses a lot of vegetables, seaweed, and chillies. Start with a classic bibimbap, a bowl with warm rice topped with vegetables, soy sauce, and one ingredient of your choice from tofu, beef, avocado, chicken, mushroom, or salmon. A fried egg is added on top of the dish, you have to stir all the ingredients together before eating. Korean restaurants often offer a free soup as a starter. At Kimchi, bibimbap is 14 EUR (16.48 USD). You can also get other a la carte dishes such as noodles, Korean, and Japanese dishes.

6. Enjoy healthy Mediterranean food at Busyfeet & Coco Café
Holidays abroad can sometimes be tough for your stomach. After too much junk food and alcohol, you would certainly appreciate a healthy break. What about a tasty goat cheese salad or Greek salad at Busyfeet & Coco Café? This cute place is one of my favourite in Dublin for three reasons: it’s affordable (a salad is about 8 EUR/ 9.42 USD), it’s delicious and healthy, and it feels a bit like home, chilled, warm, and the staff is very nice! Besides, this is one of the first fair trade cafés in Dublin.
