Dine

Ireland is best tasted slowly — in places where the menu changes with the tide and the seasons. Start with a warm bowl of seafood chowder after a coastal walk, or fresh oysters and smoked salmon paired with brown bread and real butter. In the evenings, settle into a cosy pub for a hearty stew and a creamy pint, then finish with something sweet like apple tart and custard. From farmers’ markets and artisan cheese to small family-run restaurants, Irish food is simple, generous, and quietly unforgettable — the kind of meal that feels like part of the story you’ll tell when you get home.
