"How can a hotel like the Westin have no lobby?" Is a question you may ask yourself as you walk in. Don't be too quick to even think it. The Westin Dublin does boast a large space where you can have coffee or meet friends, but it's up on the first floor. An elegant and cozy haven with a five-story high glass ceiling, where you can simply relax and enjoy gourmet sandwiches, morning coffee, a glass of champagne or for that touch of extra luxury, enjoy an afternoon tea in Dublin...
While moving around the hotel's floors to discover more hidden surprises, you will notice by the window is an inner court filled with tables. This is the Atrium, a unique restaurant occupying the middle area of the hotel.
We tried it twice during our stay in Dublin and enjoyed a pleasant ambiance, an interesting menu and a feeling of being outside with the warmth of the inner space. I must say here that the staff is professional and concept of the restaurant is even more outstanding... But one thing to consider if you're planning on having dinner there is that they stop serving food and drinks at 7: 30pm. Yes, unlike Lebanon, most places around Europe serve dinner early.

- Camembert and Avocado Sandwich: Open sandwich on toasted bread with spinach and walnut pesto. A superfood with potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamins A,B,E,K. A slice of bread covered with avocado and Camembert. The avocado is too hard and the plate contains too much garlic. It's not a sandwich I recommend
