What better way to spend time on a Saturday than to wander through the Food Markets in Temple Bar’s Meeting House Square. It is a must for all foodies! The colour and vibrancy of the markets are a feast for the eyes and give the Square a special atmosphere every Saturday.
On entering the square I am greeted with the aroma of fresh coffee and an espresso is the perfect way to start the day! With so much variety it is difficult to decide what to eat. I do a leisurely lap of the market first so I can acquaint myself with all that is on offer. Samples of olive tapanade, sun dried tomatoes and fresh breads are all enticing. While the smell of the barbequed burgers is mouth watering I decide it is still a little early for a big feed so instead I opt for a freshly made crepe with banana and chocolate. It’s a sunny day and the market is busy without being too crowded so I am content to stroll around whilst eating the crepe. I see there is a lot of people enjoying the fresh oysters at the picnic tables nearby, happily squeezing lemon and splashing Tabasco sauce on them.
There also seems to be quite a few people who look like locals who are doing a weekly shop for organic vegetables and meats. There is a wide smile on my face as I leave the markets with a full belly and continue my exploration of Temple Bar….
