Exit the Arthur Cafe, it’s time to take a real break out of Griffith College!
As a new international student, I know that we are not expert of the ‘place to go’ in the city and we often choose the facility and the rapidity. But you will see, after a long day, you will just expect to be waited on hand and foot. I have a solution! Do you know that Dublin 8 offers really nice places for the brunch and permit you to disconnect a bit from the studies. I propose you today, three adress, with very affordable prices and only ten minutes by walking from the College !
