If you want to eat and drink your way through the city with someone who actually knows the good stuff, this is the tour for you. Over two and a half hours on foot, you’ll try Irish cheese, charcuterie, seafood, sweet treats, and whiskey samples, and the whole thing finishes with you pulling your own pint of Guinness. Groups are capped at 15 people, so it stays personal.
You start at the Powerscourt Centre on South William Street - a 250-year-old Georgian townhouse that’s now a shopping centre, and your guide kicks things off with its history before you head out into the city together. From there you wander through Temple Bar’s cobbled streets, past colourful pubs with live music, stop at the Molly Malone statue to hear the legend behind Dublin’s most famous fishmonger, and pause at the Phil Lynott statue on Harry Street to hear how the Thin Lizzy frontman went from Dublin’s streets to international fame. The tour runs in English.
Meeting point: Flavour Trails office, Powerscourt Centre, South William Street.

The Powerscourt Centre is worth a browse before and after the tour. The building was built in 1774 as a townhouse for Lord Powerscourt, and it still has the original Georgian proportions - high ceilings, beautiful stonework. The independent shops and cafes inside are a good cut above the usual.
Irish whiskey and Irish cheese are a combination more people should know about. The earthy, slightly grassy quality of a good single pot still whiskey pairs well with aged Irish cheddar - if your guide offers a pairing moment, lean into it. The flavour combination is more interesting than you’d expect.
Temple Bar is best in the morning or late evening. During the day it gets crowded and can feel a bit put-on. But the area around Cow’s Lane and the streets just south of the Liffey have real character if you duck away from the main drag. Your guide will know where to take you.
Phil Lynott is genuinely beloved in Dublin. The statue on Harry Street was unveiled in 2005 and locals still leave flowers there on his anniversary each January. If you want to dig into the story, the Thin Lizzy thread runs through a lot of the city’s music history in the 1970s and 80s.
Eat a light breakfast before you go. The food samples are generous, but this isn’t a substitute for a full meal. Coming hungry means you’ll get more out of everything you try without getting too full too early to appreciate the whiskey at the end.
