TheOneToGo
Dublin's food has quietly outgrown its old reputation, and the proof is in the markets and bakeries around the Georgian core, not on the carvery menus near Temple Bar.
Our pick
Across three unhurried hours your guide walks you through stalls and shops locals rely on, stopping for warm soda bread, Irish farmhouse cheeses, smoked salmon, and a pour of whiskey or stout. You build a real feel for the city through what people here actually eat, with portions generous enough to count as a meal. By the end you have a short list of places worth returning to, which is something a guidebook crawl rarely leaves you with.
If our pick doesn't fit
A guided tour of a working craft distillery with tastings, for those who want Irish whiskey as the main event rather than a supporting act.
Takes you into locals' pubs rather than landmark restaurants, with tastings spread across a more leisurely evening.
