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!

Latest reviews from our guests

We had an amazing day walking around Dublin with our awesome guide, Tony. He planned a lot of great places for us to visit, but was also very open to our suggestions. It was a wonderful way to learn about the city, and gave us ideas for where to revisit on our own, when we had more time. Highly recommended!

Paddy blew away our expectations. His knowledge of history added amazing context to our tour. From Viking history to The Troubles, Paddy did a fantastic job combining history with a compelling walking tour that showed us all of central Dublin on our 4-hour tour. I would definitely recommend Paddy to anyone looking for a rich, enlightening walking tour of Dublin.

We had a mixed generation group and he did an excellent job of giving us a little bit for everyone. He showed us great places to eat, drink, and included all the major landmarks along the way. He was on-time, attentive, and even followed up with other recommendations for us to check out on our own time. Would highly recommend!
