Description

There is a lot that is Unique about this experience. 1. Your own private host. You host will stay with you and introduce the dishes and a lot more. 2. It is historic food, All the food on this experience, has been sourced form history books or living memories. 3. The Price, 137 euro per person is a good price for this experience. When you add up all the 10 item food menu, drink, private host, Irish language demonstration, food history, rare surprise and singing. It would be very hard to find all that in Dublin. 4 The experience is extremely interesting, this experience is the opposite to boring! 5 The food is amazing, I mean if I was not hosting this food experience, I would eat this food. This is my favourite restaurant in Dublin and it first opened its doors 30 years ago. So I think this is why our food experience is Unique and one you should not miss out on. See you soon! Frank.

Highly Recommended Traditional Irish Food Experience!

Frank was amazing! Extremely knowledgeable about the Irish history and culture as it relates to food. My wife and I really enjoyed spending our anniversary there today. Thank you for the Prosecco! Looking forward to seeing you in the States!

Excellent

Amazing experience for anyone who looks for something really special and totally different to what’s on offer anywhere else. The menu consists of 10 traditional Irish dishes, paired with Irish whiskey, lager and cider. And you also get history of each dish explained by a lovely host. It was a very enjoyable lunch for the whole family and although on Viator you can only book it as for adults we booked it for 2 adults and 2 children and would really recommend for any family as children also enjoyed it ( alcohol can be swapped for any soft drinks). And as for the price - worth every penny as food was exquisite!

Best Authentic Traditional Irish tasting experience

I had a food allergy and the host was (with advanced notification) cater to my diet. I was able to try so many new to me foods. It was like dinner and entertainment. Our host regaled us with Irish history and his own family history. He brought some historical objects to share with us. We had a drink pairing with each course. The food was delicious and huge portions even though it was a tasting. I would absolutely do this again. 10 out of 10.

Irish food experience

It is traditional Irish Food from the early 1940s. Frank was very knowledgeable about Irish history and food. He shared Irish songs and showed various coins from Ireland’s history. There was 2 or 3 samples from each course with an alcoholic beverage to complete each course. The food was delicious. I would give it a 10/10.

Irish Culinary Delight!

After touring Ireland for 14 days, we thought we had tasted everything the country had to offer. But to our surprise, "The Traditional Irish Food Experience" proved us wrong. We truly enjoyed fine Irish dining at its' best in a setting that was frozen in time! Frank passionately shared his knowledge and the history of traditional Irish dishes as told to him by his father. Thank you Frank for giving us this opportunity to taste, learn and experience your father's legacy of Irish cuisine, stories, and song! Best wishes as you continue your sharing journey!!

Exceptional Food, Incredible Host - Unique Experience!

My daughter was looking for authentic Irish food, so I booked this food tasting experience and it absolutely hit the mark! This was my daughter's first time in Ireland and my fifth. I have tasted "traditional" Irish food all over the country but this was by far the best food I have had. Frank has a great knowledge of the authentic, traditional foods of Ireland and has great stories of the history of the food. The time went quickly and the food and drink pairings were perfect, but also allowed for flexibility in personal tastes. Both my daughter and myself were thrilled with the food. My daughter kept commenting, as we continued traveling throughout the country, that none of the food quite matched up to the food we had during our tasting with Frank. I highly recommend this unique experience, great food and great "craic", you won't be disappointed!

Operator response

What a review!!! First of all it was great to meet you both. I really enjoyed your company. I am over the moon that you enjoyed the experience so much. I take pride in showing visitors to Ireland the best of our cuisine. For you to say it was a Highlight of your food journey in Ireland, has made me very happy. We sure did have the Craic 😂 Thank you Frank
