The National Print Museum was established to document the history of printing in Ireland and it is also possible to visit the Museum itself if you are interested in printing. The Press Cafe is located at the back of the National Print Museum - it is a spot that you may need to ask a local for directions to get to, as it is a little bit of a maze, but certainly worth the adventure!
Press is such hidden gem - I work quite close to the museum so I don't think I would have found it otherwise! It is very popular with locals in the area and I love how the cafe operates; orders are taken by hand and everything is made fresh to order, the setting of the cafe is really nice and bright so it almost feels like you are sitting outside. There is a lot of choice on the lunch menu and I often go for either the Cajun Chicken wrap or the Chorizo Focaccia! Everything on the menu is really good!
Staff are really friendly and so accommodating, it is always an absolute pleasure to eat there.
