Food and misc costs in Ireland?

Question

My wife and I found a really good deal on a trip to Ireland. But, it is during the offseason. according to weather websites, temperature will likely be between 40-45F with a good amount of rain but little to no snow. Is this accurate? We are also curious as to how much food and beer costs at a moderately priced restaurant. We are guessing these costs may be a bit high because of the pound to dollar conversion. Thanks a lot for the help.

Answer 1

We'd probably need to know which part of Ireland you're going to to answer your question fully.

Okay restaurant - 3 course meal excluding wine, per person - 30euro.

Good restaurant - 3 course meal  excluding wine, per person - 50euro.

We also have cafes etc where you can get a main course for around 9euro.

A pint - between 4 and 5 euro or so will definately cover you.

Small bottle of wine - around 5 euro.

Bottle of wine in restaurant - 14-30euro.

While the temperature may seem low, it doesn't be absolutely freezing, you'll be cosy enough in a jumper and rainjacket, and our rain isn't full pelt like European rain, but fairly light.

Also we have euros here, not pounds sterling - unless you are going to northern ireland (their currency is pounds sterling). northern ireland is alot cheaper for food and beer.

Answer 2

You do realise that in Ireland the currency is the euro, don't you?

Ireland is very very expensive.

And yea, the weather will be shite.
