Gastronomía

Flavors of the Emerald Isle

Irish gastronomy has undergone a true revolution, leaving behind old clichés to embrace the 'farm to table' philosophy. Based on the exceptional quality of local produce – grass-fed lamb and beef, fresh Atlantic fish and seafood, and world-famous dairy products – Irish cuisine today is honest, tasty and comforting.

Platos Imprescindibles

Irish Stew

The national dish par excellence. Traditionally made with lamb, potatoes, onions and parsley, although nowadays it is common to find versions with beef (Beef and Guinness Stew) that include a tasty sauce enriched with stout.

Full Irish Breakfast

A hearty breakfast to start the day with energy. Includes sausages, bacon ('rashers'), eggs, black and white pudding ('black and white pudding'), grilled tomato, mushrooms and soda bread.

Seafood Chowder

A creamy and hearty fish and seafood soup. Each pub and restaurant has its own recipe, but it generally includes a mixture of white fish, salmon, mussels and prawns in a base of cream and fish broth, served with homemade soda bread.

Fish and Chips

Although shared with their British neighbor, the Irish have perfected this dish. A large fillet of fresh fish (usually cod or haddock) in a crispy batter, accompanied by thick fries. Ideal for eating in a coastal town.

Boxty

A traditional cake or crepe made from grated potatoes. It can be fried, baked or cooked as a dumpling. It is often served at breakfast or as an accompaniment to other dishes.

Soda Bread

A dense, rustic bread that is a mainstay in every Irish home. It is made with flour, baking soda (instead of yeast), salt and buttermilk. Its crispy crust and tender interior are the perfect accompaniment to soup or simply with butter.

Bebidas Típicas

Stout (Guinness)

More than a drink, it is an institution. The creamy Guinness stout is the most famous, but other Irish stouts such as Murphy's or Beamish are also worth trying. Serving and drinking a pint in Ireland is a ritual.

Irish Whiskey

Famous for its smoothness, the result of triple distillation. Brands such as Jameson, Bushmills or Tullamore D.E.W. They are known worldwide. Visiting a distillery is an excellent way to learn about its production and enjoy a tasting.

Cider

Cider is a very popular drink, especially the Bulmers brand (known as Magners outside of Ireland). It is refreshing and served with lots of ice.

Irish Coffee

The perfect drink to warm up. It is made with hot coffee, Irish whiskey, brown sugar and topped with a layer of lightly whipped cream floating on the surface. You drink hot coffee through cold cream.
