"There’s hardly a better way to ruminate over the art in the gallery than over lunch in the basement cafe." Full review
Michelin Guide 1 Star

Travel + Leisure "Also known as the Dublin City Gallery, this delightful and manageable contemporary art gallery is arguably the city’s finest art space." Full review

The Wall Street Journal "Housed in the circa 1765 mansion...you’re there for a peek inside the studio of Dublin-born painter Francis Bacon. The chaotic piles of newspapers, photographs, art supplies and ephemera."

Fodor's "However macabre, St. Michan's main claim to fame is down in the vaults, where the totally dry atmosphere has preserved several corpses in a remarkable state of mummification." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Macabre remains are the main attraction at this church, which was founded by the Danes in 1096 and named after one of their saints." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Walking into this somber, dignified Protestant church with its magnificent organ is certainly impressive—but the star attraction here is underneath your feet." Full review
Time Out "There has been a place of worship on this site since 1096, and the current building dates from 1686, though it was drastically restored in 1828 and again following the Civil War." Full review
Afar Magazine "Founded in 1095, St. Michan’s Church is an active house of worship in Dublin." Full review
Michelin Guide 1 Star
"Founded in 1095 by the Danes, the church was later rebuilt. Handel is said to have composed his famous Messiah on the organ." Full review
Atlas Obscura "An Irish church where an 800-year-old mummy is reaching out of his coffin as if to shake hands. " Full review
Frommer's "Built on the site of an early Danish chapel (1095), this 17th-century edifice has fine interior woodwork and an organ (dated 1724) on which Handel is said to have played his Messiah." Full review
