From traditional to trendy

Irish cuisine is often accused of being beige and boring, but we beg to differ. Perhaps in the past it was humble traditional cuisine that ruled. Now, a new class of local chefs is taking the flavors Dubliners love and using new techniques to turn them into fine dining experiences that can’t be found anywhere else. Dublin’s cuisine is no longer held in contempt – in fact, the best restaurants in Dublin have made it cool! Traditional staples like cabbage, bacon, and cheese have taken on a new life in the modern city. Discover how the culinary culture has evolved on the best Dublin food tours.

Drink like a Dubliner

If there’s one thing the Irish capital is known for, it’s drinking – and boy, do Dubliners know how to do it! The city’s iconic red-bricked pubs are centers of socialization, and food tours of Dublin are the ideal excuse to guzzle down a drink with the best of the best. On Dublin food tours, explore the historic Temple Bar district or maybe bar-hop between century-old institutions echoing with laughter at the end of a long day of work. You’ll quickly understand that music, beer, and whisky are the cornerstones of Irish pub culture, and a drink after a Dublin food tour is non-negotiable!

Dave was incredible! I can't say enough about how much fun my husband and I had on our Dublin tour. Dave was so friendly and knowledgeable. It felt like an old friend was showing us all around his city. The tour was catered to what we wanted to see, and Dave added lots of little touches that made it feel top-notch.
