Asia Market
This large, friendly food emporium should be your first port of call if you want to whip up an oriental feast. For a start it's really good value and you'll find everything here from kitchen implements to hard-to-come-by ingredients like grass jelly, habanero chillies, brown basmati rice or - should you wish - chicken's feet.

Decent Cigar Emporium
When the clamour of Grafton St gets too much, slip up this discreet staircase, recline in a plush leather armchair and run your nose along a sweet hand-rolled, long-filler cigar over a glass of decent red wine or a cup of Illy coffee. In a country that has a smoking ban, this is indeed a rare pleasure.

Epicurean Food Hall
This place is essentially just a food court, but some of Dublin's best eateries have outlets here, and it's a worthy daytime stop-off for a snack, a coffee, lunch or specialist supplies. The food court is perfect if you're not sure what you feel like or if there's discord among your number, because once you get here you can choose between bagels, Italian, French, Mexican, Japanese, Indian and Lebanese, to name just a few.

Magills
With its characterful old façade and tiny dark interior, Magills' old-world charm reminds you how Clarendon St must have once looked. At this family-run place, you get the distinct feeling that every Irish and French cheese, olive oil, packet of Italian pasta and salami was hand-picked.

-
Moore Street Market
An open-air, steadfastly 'Old Dublin' market, with fruit, fish and flowers. Traditional vendors hawk cheap cigarettes, tobacco and chocolate among the new wave of Chinese and Nigerians selling phone cards and hair extensions. Don't try to buy just one banana though - if it says 10 for Euro1, that's what it is.

Sheridans Cheesemongers
If heaven were a cheese shop, this would be it. Wooden shelves are laden with rounds of farmhouse cheeses, sourced from around the country by Kevin and Seamus Sheridan, who have almost single-handedly revived cheese-making in Ireland. You can taste any one of the 60 cheeses on display and pick up some wild Irish salmon, Italian pastas and olives while you're at it.
-
Smithfield Fish Market
One of Dublin's most traditional markets, this is the place to come for the freshest fish in town. Hang about long enough and you'll undoubtedly run into some of the city's best chefs picking up the makings of the evening's menu.
