This is Dublin’s original food walking tour, and with multiple award wins and a 4.9-star rating from over a hundred reviews, it’s clearly doing something right. Over 2.5 gentle hours, your local guide takes you to the finest independent food producers in the city, stopping to taste as you go.
The stops vary depending on who’s producing the best things at the time - you might find yourself at a cheesemonger, a top-notch deli, a specialist bakery, or a farmers market. You’ll meet the people behind each food venture and hear how they got started. It’s a genuinely good way to get under the skin of Dublin’s food scene rather than just eating your way through it.
Dublin’s food scene has changed enormously in the past fifteen years, and this tour shows you what that looks like in practice rather than in theory. The producers you’ll meet tend to be people who left other careers to do something they cared more about - the stories behind the food are often as good as the food itself.
Come hungry, but not ravenous. The tastings are generous and spaced out over the walk, so you won’t leave feeling empty, but you also won’t need a big meal beforehand. A light breakfast is ideal. The drink tastings pair well with the food stops, and your guide knows which order makes the most sense.
The walking pace is genuinely easy. This isn’t a march between stops - there’s time to linger, ask questions, and go back for another taste if something is particularly good. If you’ve got dietary requirements, mention them when booking and the guide can plan around them as much as possible.
Independent food producers in Dublin tend to cluster around a few key spots - the Liberties, the south-side markets, and a handful of streets that haven’t yet been taken over by chains. Your guide knows where to find the best ones at any given time of year, which matters because the city’s food scene is always moving.
This tour is a good way to stock up on things to bring home. Many of the producers sell their products directly, and your guide can tell you what travels well and what’s worth the extra weight in your luggage. Irish farmhouse cheese and specialty jams often make better souvenirs than anything you’d find in a gift shop.
