IRELAND’S
FOOD STORY
Ireland, an Island on the edge of Europe has long been recognised for the beauty
of its landscapes and seascapes, the buzz of its cities, and the spirited warmth of its
people. But now visitors are coming for the food and drink too. Thanks to our mild
climate, clean seas, fertile soil … and yes, the rain too … your clients will taste some
of the best raw ingredients in the world.
But what makes it unique and continuously surprises our visitors? Put very simply
– it’s fresh, natural, local, rugged, uncomplicated and above all, unpretentious.
Here in Ireland, we let the ingredients speak for themselves!
On the
Wild AtlanticWay
it’s about the freshest seafood plucked straight
from the purest waters. But it’s also about the men and women who mix tradition
with 21st century techniques to bring it from tide to table, to serve it just a few
miles (or in some cases, just a few feet) from where it’s been caught.Whether it’s
a steaming bowl of chowder on a wind-whipped winter day or a Guinness and
oysters treat on a sun-lit summer terrace, theWild AtlanticWay is fast becoming
a culinary road trip of a lifetime.
In
Ireland’s Ancient East
, the cuisine is ancient, simple and profound.
Named the bounty of Ireland for its lush green landscapes and rich pastures, in this
temperate region you will taste dishes preserved in Irish tradition, the world’s best
grass fed beef and floury blaas from artisan bakers.Whether it’s revelling a local
whiskey at fire side traditional music session in a country pub or stepping back
in time to enjoy a convivial dinner at a big country house.
Dublin
– a city of villages, surrounded by mountains and sea; inspires a
new wave of chefs, innovators and baristas who are paving the way onto the
international food scene. Constantly awash with new eateries and pop up’s you
will be spoilt for choice, whether it is a stroll and taste through a bustling food
market followed by brunch of locally sourced fare, served in a neighbourhood
café or a fine dining experience at one of our Michelin stars, here in Dublin
you will taste true contemporary Ireland cuisine.
