Taste of Dublin Festival

In case you hadn’t guessed by now, we’re big foodies here in Celtic Hostels, so we’re thrilled that one of our favourite Dublin festivals is on right now: Taste of Dublin.

Taste of Dublin celebrates the best of Irish food, with demos from celebrity chefs, loads of artisan food and fabulous wines on show – not to mention the opportunity to sample the delights of the best restaurants in Dublin. Perfect for those commitment-phobes out there – why go to one restaurant when you can visit lots of them all at once?

The atmosphere is always buzzing and the location couldn’t better: the gorgeous Iveagh Gardens, often called Dublin’s “secret” park as it’s right in the city centre, but hidden away behind buildings and off the tourist trails.

New to the festival this year is “Taste Factor” – the search for Ireland’s best amateur chef. We’d consider entering, but we’ll be too busy at the food sampling stands…

So get your glad rags on (including posh wellies on Sunday, as rain is forecast) and get sipping, tasting and enjoying the Taste of Dublin!
