The best food tours in Dublin
The best food tour in Dublin for most people is the Authentic Local Food Tour, because every tasting is in the price. Here is how the others differ.
The Secret Food Tours walk
This is the Authentic Local Food Tour, run by Secret Food Tours. It starts at 36 College Green and makes 5 stops in 3 hours. It is rated 4.8 from 386 reviews.
Delicious Dublin's award-winning eateries walk
Delicious Dublin Tours runs this 3-hour walk from the Spire. Food and drink makers talk about their work at the stops. It is for adults only.
Walking Food Tours' street food walk
Walking Food Tours keeps the ticket low, from €28, and lets you buy what you want. The guide suggests dishes, and you choose. That also means no food is wasted.
Food tours for vegans and allergies
None of our picks is a vegan food tour. The award-winning eateries walk is not suitable for vegans. Its tastings may include dairy, gluten, alcohol, shellfish and meat.
The chef-led tour is not for people with food or nut allergies. On the Authentic Local Food Tour, contact the company before the day: some stops cannot cater for every diet. The street food walk lets you choose what you eat.
Eating on your own
The doughnut tour passes through Temple Bar; our guide to the Temple Bar Dublin area covers its pubs and food.
