Foodie Fun in Ireland

Ireland is graced with some fantastic ingredients and we have many wonderful restaurants, cafés and food companies up and down the country that make full use of them.

Katia from ProperFood.ie, who has contributed to this site as well, has put together a HUGE post about gastronomic activities in Ireland.

If you're travelling around Ireland or even just want to find something food related on your doorstep, Katia has you covered!

She's split the list into a few different blocks, which cover the different types of activities. So you'll find everything from Afternoon Teas, tours of Breweries & Distilleries, Cookery Classes (both on location and online), Farm Visits, Markets, Producers, Randoms as well as Wild Walks and Food Tours. It'd definitely keep you pretty busy!

They're still operating, but either they're offline only, or you need to call them to place an order and collect the food etc.,

A lot of bloggers and trade associations have been compiling lists of what's "out there" so here's a few of them:

Buy Food Online

While many of the supermarkets that offer online delivery might be having problems with capacity at the moment, there are still a lot of independent food companies that sell online.

This site is a simple directory of Irish food companies that are selling and taking orders online.

Some of them have full online stores with home delivery, while others might be offering a much simpler service with "click and collect" or some other variation.

If you can shop from the safety and comfort of your home it's better for everyone!
