										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;d spent the day on the <strong><a href="https://thecreativeadventurer.com/ultimate-ring-of-kerry-itinerary-best-stops-along-the-route/">Ring of Kerry</a></strong>, that long, winding loop of coastlines and hillsides in <strong><a href="https://thecreativeadventurer.com/category/ireland/">Ireland</a></strong> that leaves you simultaneously exhausted and in awe. And <strong><a href="https://www.cahernane.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Cahernane House</a></strong> was exactly what we needed at the end of it. There&#8217;s a reason &#8220;House&#8221; is in the name; you feel it the moment someone opens the door, less like checking into a hotel and more like being welcomed into someone&#8217;s home. <strong><a href="https://www.cahernane.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Cahernane House</a></strong> sits right at the boundary of <strong>Killarney National Park</strong>, close enough to town that you could technically walk in for dinner, but secluded enough that it feels like you&#8217;re in a complete private estate.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.cahernane.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Cahernane House</a></strong> was the one hotel on our road trip through <strong><a href="https://thecreativeadventurer.com/category/ireland/">Ireland</a></strong> that I was the most excited about, and it didn&#8217;t disappoint. It has that history cache that only authentic old Irish country houses carry. Antique furniture that&#8217;s clearly been sat in, not just set out on display, an original Queen Anne Fireplace in the drawing room covered in fresh flowers and an old glass library where you can enjoy the lush Irish green landscape regardless of the weather.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">History of Cahernane House</h2>



<p>The story of Cahernane house begins with the Herbert family, who have been rooted in County Kerry since the mid-1600s, when a branch of the family settled at Cahernane and another at Muckross. Henry Herbert had already lived a full life before settling in Killarney. He had made a fortune breeding sheep for wool in Australia, crossed the Rocky Mountains with an opera singer named Adelina Patti, and eventually won over Catherine Stewart, a Muckross resident, who was the reason he settled in Killarney.</p>

<p>The house that stands today almost didn&#8217;t exist at all. When Henry Herbert commissioned it in 1877, the original plans called for something three times the size. But what got built was a fraction of that vision. Catherine was not impressed with the existing house. The &#8220;sanitary arrangements&#8221; in particular, a row of outdoor closets tended by a man known locally as &#8220;Patsy the Bucket&#8221;, were apparently a dealbreaker. Henry had the whole thing demolished and started again. Lord Browne reportedly came personally to plead with him not to tear down the original Queen Anne structure, but Henry didn&#8217;t listen.</p>

<p>The new house was finished in 1877. If you look up at the pillars in the lobby, you&#8217;ll notice initials carved into each one, the first letters of Henry&#8217;s first four children&#8217;s names. By the time the house was complete, Ireland was shifting underneath families like the Herberts. The Land Act of 1881 effectively ended the economic model that kept large estates running, and Cahernane passed to Henry&#8217;s son Arthur in 1898, carrying significant debt. Arthur eventually leased the house as a hotel in the early 1900s, and it has operated as one, under a succession of owners, ever since.</p>

<p>Henry&#8217;s youngest daughter renovated the gardener&#8217;s cottage on a small strip of land the family had held onto. She died there in 1966, and with her went more than two centuries. After years remaining unoccupied, it was acquired in 2016 and renovated for €7.8 million to transform it into the hotel you find today. The old Coach House now has eight guest rooms. The Drawing Room, Library and Atrium have all been revamped, but somehow, the house still feels like an old family home.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rooms Options</h2>



<p>Cahernane has four distinct places to lay your head, and they feel genuinely different from each other rather than just variations on a theme.</p>



<p>The Manor House rooms are the heart of the original building, 12 rooms with original ceiling beams, cornicing, and period antiques, each decorated differently. The Herbert Suite is the one to book if you want garden and mountain views and a room that feels designed rather than assembled. Signature Double rooms start from around <strong>€314 per night</strong>*.</p>

<p>The Garden Wing is the newer addition, built in the 1960s but fully refurbished since. Quieter and more spacious, styled to match the manor but slightly updated. Superior Rooms start from <strong>€341 per night</strong>, while the Junior Suite, the most generous option in this wing, comes in from <strong>€449 per night</strong>. We stayed in a Superior Room in the Garden Wing, and it delivered exactly what you want after a day on the road. Most rooms come with a freestanding claw-foot bath, which I used twice, and a rainfall shower stocked with Elemis products that made the whole bathroom feel like a proper spa.</p>

<p>The room looks out over the hotel gardens, and ours had a balcony where we sat with morning coffee watching mist settle across the countryside. At one point deer wandered into the grounds alongside cattle from the neighbouring farms, which sounds like something you&#8217;d read in a brochure but was just quietly, unexpectedly real.</p>

<p>We had every intention of heading into Killarney for dinner one evening; there&#8217;s no shortage of great options in town, but we ended up putting together a small picnic instead and eating on the balcony. We just didn&#8217;t want to leave.</p>

<p>The <strong>Coach House</strong> is the most recent addition, eight rooms in a standalone building beside the manor, each with bespoke wallpapers and Irish antique furniture. Some have claw-foot baths, others walk-in rain showers with handmade tiles. Good for anyone who wants something that feels slightly apart from the main house. For families, several Coach House rooms have their own entrance doors with connecting bedrooms, actual privacy rather than just a fold-out sofa situation.</p>

<p>And one important practical note: <strong><a href="https://www.cahernane.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">booking directly through cahernane.com</a></strong> gets you at least €10 off per night, a glass of prosecco on arrival, no payment needed upfront, and free cancellation up to 4 pm two days before you arrive. I&#8217;m usually someone who books on sites like hotels.ca for the points, but in Ireland, I always found booking direct got you way more perks!!!</p>



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">*Prices noted are approximate, based on mid‑season rates for two persons, room only (taxes and fees additional).</h5>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Breakfast at Cahernane House Hotel</h2>



<p>One of the most enduring memories from our trip across <strong><a href="https://thecreativeadventurer.com/category/ireland/">Ireland</a></strong> was the Irish Breakfast. And not just any breakfast, the kind that comes with a stay in a B&amp;B or country house. These breakfasts are unhurried and almost always feature a huge buffet spread! Cahernane&#8217;s version of this might be the best I had on the whole trip!</p>

<p>Breakfast is served in <strong>Herbert&#8217;s Restaurant,</strong> with old wooden tables, soft morning light, gardens and distant hills visible through the windows. You start with a spread of freshly baked pastries, warm fruit scones, brown soda bread, berries, local yogurt and granola. Then the hot menu arrives, made to order and sourced locally where they can. Full Irish breakfast comes complete with thick rashers, black and white pudding, farm eggs, roasted tomatoes, though there&#8217;s smoked salmon with scrambled eggs, buttermilk pancakes, and poached eggs with sautéed spinach (if you feel inclined to have something a little lighter). We sat there long enough to watch the mist lift off the lawn, order a second pot of tea, and still not feel like we needed to move. That&#8217;s the whole point of it, really.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Free Bike Rentals &amp; Easy Rides Around Killarney</h2>



<p>One of the loveliest perks of staying at Cahernane House Hotel is their <strong>complimentary bicycle rentals</strong>, available to <strong>all guests</strong>. Just beyond the manicured lawn, a quiet path leads straight into <strong>Killarney National Park</strong>, opening the door to some of the most scenic and accessible cycling routes in Ireland. The bikes are well-maintained and comfortable, perfect for casual riders looking to explore at a leisurely pace. </p>

<p>You can cycle directly from the hotel to nearby gems like <strong>Ross Castle</strong>, <strong>Muckross Abbey</strong>, and <strong>Muckross House</strong>, all via dedicated park trails with minimal traffic and gentle inclines. We rode all the way to Ross Castle, were we got to enjoy a cup of tea and a scone at their Garden Café, which I cannot recommend more!!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dining Worth Staying In For</h2>



<p>If you&#8217;re interested in not leaving the house for dinner, but want something a little more elegant than a meal deal from M&amp;S, you can enjoy a cocktail in the Drawing Room before heading to <strong>Herbert&#8217;s Restaurant</strong>, where locally sourced ingredients are turned into elegantly plated dishes. Kerry lamb, Dingle Bay crab, and fresh-baked Guinness bread are regulars on the menu. For a more relaxed vibe, the <strong>Cellar Bar</strong>, tucked beneath the house in original stone vaults, serves hearty, comforting fare in a cozy setting perfect for rainy evenings.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I returned from <strong><a href="https://thecreativeadventurer.com/category/ireland/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ireland</a></strong>, many people asked me about my trip and were SHOCKED when I reported that one of my favourite aspects was<strong> the food</strong>! There has been a persistent stereotype that Irish food is all <strong>potatoes</strong> and&nbsp;<strong>stews,</strong> but after travelling across the country, I found this wasn&#8217;t true. We ate better in <strong><a href="https://thecreativeadventurer.com/category/ireland/" title="">Ireland</a></strong> than in many other countries we&#8217;ve visited, and the seafood was probably the best I&#8217;ve ever had! You won&#8217;t often see many &#8220;traditional&#8221; Irish dishes, like colcannon and coddle, on menus across the country, as they are outdated or more popular for home cooking. I wanted to focus this list on what you&#8217;ll really see on the menu so you know what to try when you spot it!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where Does the Stereotype of Bad Irish Food Come From?</h2>



<p>Because of<strong> food shortages and poverty</strong> in the past, Irish food has been perceived as bland and lacking in diversity. For a significant chunk of its history, Ireland was an agricultural nation, and many people lived in poverty, especially in the wake of the <strong><a href="https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/evolutionofparliament/legislativescrutiny/parliamentandireland/overview/the-great-famine/#:~:text=Between%201845%2D52%20Ireland%20suffered,a%20disease%20destroying%20the%20crop." target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Great Famine</a></strong>. The typical Irish diet was simple, consisting primarily of root vegetables, potatoes, and oats. These ingredients, while healthy, did not lend themselves to particularly interesting or varied cooking customs.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Changing Foodie Landscape in Ireland</h3>



<p>But much of this has changed over time, and not just in the big cities! Ireland is now celebrated for its high-quality,&nbsp;<strong>locally sourced ingredients</strong>, including some of the world&#8217;s best&nbsp;<strong>dairy</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>beef</strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>seafood</strong>. The emphasis on&nbsp;<strong>farm-to-table dining</strong>&nbsp;and <strong>fresh, seasonal produce </strong>has elevated much Irish cuisine. The quality of these local ingredients is not just a testament to the rich agricultural heritage of Ireland but one of the main reasons the restaurant scene has flourished in recent years. Many young chefs draw from traditional ingredients but get creative with inventive contemporary twists on the classics. Cities like&nbsp;<strong>Dublin</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Cork</strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>Galway</strong>&nbsp;are home to&nbsp;<strong>Michelin-starred restaurants</strong>, and talented chefs are helping to redefine Irish food on the world stage. So if you&#8217;re planning on skipping Ireland because of the foods, I&#8217;d take another look!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Steak and Guinness Stew</h2>



<p>Something that feels as Irish as the green hillsides covered in sheep is a hearty <strong>steak and Guinness stew</strong>. This is one of those traditional dishes that stands the test of time. Coming into a pub with a fire roaring, surrounded in dark wood and worn in leather chairs, there is nothing better to cozy up with than this savoury stew. <strong>Steak and Guinness stew </strong>consists of tender pieces of beef stewed in a rich sauce made from Guinness, Ireland&#8217;s famous stout, along with vegetables like carrots, onions, and mushrooms. Often, you&#8217;ll get a dollop of mashed potatoes on the side, which went slathered in butter and feels like the most iconically Irish mean there ever was. And delicious to boot!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Murphy&#8217;s Ice Cream</h2>



<p>While in <strong>Dingle</strong>, on one of the many <em>surprisingly sunny days</em> we had on our trip, we treated ourselves to a few scoops of ice cream to cool down. And we were so impressed by the fantastic flavours at <strong><a href="https://murphysicecream.ie/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Murphy&#8217;s Ice Cream</a></strong>! <strong>Murphy&#8217;s Ice Cream&nbsp;</strong>was founded in Dingle in 2000 by brothers Seán and Kieran Murphy, and they have a reputation for producing some of the most intensely creamy ice cream using milk from the rare Kerry cow and their unique flavours focus on incorporating natural Irish products.</p>

<p>Some of Murphy&#8217;s signature flavours include unique combinations like<strong> Honeycomb Caramel, Dingle Sea Salt, Irish Brown Bread</strong> and even<strong> Gin</strong> (which is indeed alcoholic!). But even if you&#8217;re not passing through Dingle, you can still try <strong>Murphy&#8217;s Ice Cream</strong> in Dublin and Killarney, as the brand is continually expanding across the country! My favourite had to be the Brown Bread, as it was this malty, crunchy, comforting flavour that was unlike anything else I&#8217;ve ever tried!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Full Irish Breakfast</h2>



<p>One of the best parts of waking up every morning on our road trip through Ireland was a <strong>full Irish breakfast</strong>, included in our stay at all the <strong>Bed and Breakfasts </strong>we booked. Although I&#8217;m usually one to want to get out and grab breakfast at a local restaurant or cafe, the inclusion of breakfast in the accommodation price made it so these breakfasts were hard to pass up. In almost every place we stayed, breakfast was an absolute treat! And every breakfast room was more beautiful than the next, meaning we could soak in the Irish countryside, meet new friends and dive into the most filling ingredients from local Irish farmers.</p>

<p>Even if you&#8217;re not staying at a B&amp;B, a full Irish Breakfast is still a must for anyone coming to Ireland. And you can easily find them serving a full breakfast at any cafeteria or breakfast restaurants across the country. The typical components of a traditional Irish breakfast include<strong> bacon</strong> (or rashers, which are thick slices of back bacon), <strong>Irish pork sausages</strong> (often referred to as &#8220;bangers,&#8221;),<strong> black and white pudding</strong> (traditional blood sausages and pork fat-based sausages), <strong>eggs </strong>(usually fried, but they can be scrambled or poached), <strong>tomatoes</strong> (grilled or fried),<strong> mushrooms, baked beans </strong>and a <strong>slice of soda bread</strong>, essential for mopping up the rest of the plate. The full Irish breakfast originated as a meal for farmworkers, providing them with the necessary energy for a long day&#8217;s work. While this meal might be a little much for some of us, you can customize your plate to your appetite or preferences at the breakfast buffets.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Irish Tea</h2>



<p>The traditional accompaniment for a hearty Irish breakfast is a cup of<strong> Irish tea</strong>. <strong>Irish Breakfast Tea</strong> is a strong, robust black tea blend known for its full-bodied flavour, typically enjoyed with milk and sugar. The blend is known for its malty, rich taste. I found that coffee across Ireland wasn&#8217;t the greatest, so I shifted my morning caffeine intake from coffee to tea and was pleasantly surprised. <strong>Barry&#8217;s Tea</strong> is one of the most popular and iconic brands of Irish breakfast tea. Founded in 1901 in&nbsp;<strong>Cork</strong>,<strong>&nbsp;Barry&#8217;s Tea</strong>&nbsp;has become a household name in Ireland, so if you see Barry&#8217;s behind the counter, you know you&#8217;re in for a delicious&nbsp;cuppa.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Soda Bread</h2>



<p>As mentioned before, <strong>soda bread</strong> is an essential item to add to any Irish breakfast. But really, it&#8217;s an any time of the day kinda treat. <strong>Soda bread</strong> is a traditional Irish bread made without yeast, using baking soda as the leavening agent, which is how it gets its name. The main ingredients typically include flour (usually white and wholemeal), buttermilk, baking soda, and salt. The acidic buttermilk reacts with the baking soda to produce carbon dioxide, which causes the dough to rise. The dough is then shaped into a round loaf and scored with a cross on top, a tradition that dates back to ancient times and is said to ward off evil spirits. Soda bread has a dense, crumbly texture and a slightly tangy flavour from the buttermilk, which I was absolutely obsessed with! Served with an ample slathering of Irish butter and fresh local jam, you really can&#8217;t get a better start to your day.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Irish Lamb</h2>



<p>If you&#8217;re a vegetarian, you might want to cover your ears for this next one. Although sheep dotting the hillsides are one of the most adorable sights you&#8217;ll see along your journey across Ireland, the sheep are raised for <em>more than just their wool.</em> Especially early in the year, <strong>spring lamb</strong> makes its way onto menus across the country. The meat&#8217;s tender and delicate flavour graces dishes like a rack of lamb, grilled lamb chops, or roast lamb. Often, the meat is served with minimal seasoning, just a bit of rosemary or thyme, highlighting the mild, sweet taste without overpowering the flavour. Raised on Ireland’s lush, green pastures, Irish lamb benefits from a grass-fed diet, which adds to the meat&#8217;s lean and delicate taste. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Irish Butter</h2>



<p>I&#8217;m a butter fiend and thought that <strong>French butter </strong>was the best in the world, but after travelling to Ireland, <em>France has stiff competition</em>. <strong>Irish butter </strong>is renowned for its rich, creamy flavour and distinctive yellow hue. The primary reason for its superior taste is that it comes from the milk of grass-fed cows. Ireland&#8217;s temperate climate allows cows to graze on lush, green pastures for most of the year, resulting in milk with higher fat content and a richer flavour. This higher fat content gives it a creamier, more luxurious texture and a distinct flavour profile that is richer and more, ironically, &#8220;buttery&#8221; than other types of butter. Although you might not always see butter on the table, it enriches almost every dish made in the kitchen! But if you can savour Irish butter on a slice of toast or a scone, don&#8217;t miss the opportunity to enjoy it in its full, unadulterated glory!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Irish Spice Bag</h2>



<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Irish spice bag</strong>&nbsp;is a beloved, relatively modern takeaway dish that has become an iconic part of Irish fast food culture. Originating in&nbsp;<strong>Dublin</strong>, this fusion dish combines elements of Chinese cuisine with a distinctly Irish twist. A typical spice bag consists of crispy&nbsp;<strong>shredded chicken</strong>&nbsp;(or sometimes pork),&nbsp;<strong>chips (fries)</strong>, fried&nbsp;<strong>onions</strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>peppers</strong>, all tossed in a spicy, salty seasoning mix. The seasoning usually includes a combination of&nbsp;<strong>chilli powder</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>five-spice</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>garlic salt</strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>paprika</strong>, giving it a bold and flavorful kick. While it&#8217;s most commonly seen at&nbsp;<strong>Chinese takeaways</strong>&nbsp;across Ireland, the spice bag has developed a cult following, especially for late-night eats or casual dining. The spice bag&#8217;s appeal lies in its&nbsp;<strong>crunchy texture</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>spicy flavour</strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>satisfying&nbsp;</strong>ingredients, making it a go-to option for those seeking a quick, tasty, and filling meal. Many places offer variations, with some adding extras like curry sauce or chilli flakes, further solidifying its status as a fast food favourite in Ireland. Even some of the more upscale restaurants have started serving an upscale version of this previously budget dish, which really shows how popular the food has gotten, making it a must-eat on your next trip!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Pint (or two) of Guinness</h2>



<p>You might be wondering why it took me so long to get to<strong> Guinness</strong>, as this stout beer seems like the defacto symbol of Ireland itself. And for good reason. The <strong><a href="https://www.guinness-storehouse.com/en/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="St. James's Gate Brewery">St. James&#8217;s Gate Brewery</a></strong> was established by <strong>Arthur Guinness </strong>in 1759, who signed a 9,000-year lease (!) for the Dublin property. This means that <strong>Guinness </strong>will keep its foothold in the country for many more years to come. Most of us have tried Guinness before, but there is something about drinking it from the tap in Ireland that makes it taste all the BETTER! The unique flavour profile of<strong> Guinness </strong>is characterized by roasted barley, which gives it a slightly bitter taste balanced by hints of coffee and chocolate. The stout&#8217;s smooth texture results from its nitrogen-infused carbonation, which creates its signature creamy head and velvety mouthfeel.</p>

<p>One of the most essential parts of ordering a Guinness is admiring the ritual of the<strong> perfect pour</strong>.<strong> The perfect Guinness pour</strong> is an art form, often taking over two minutes to ensure the nitrogen settles appropriately, creating the signature cascading effect. Something about the wait before drinking makes you appreciate this drink all the more. Even I, who in Canada isn&#8217;t a fan of Guinness, came to love having a pint (of half a pint) with dinner here in Ireland, and it just seemed to compliment every meal it was served with! Try me; even if you don&#8217;t like the taste at home, give it another try here in its homeland!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Irish Brown Crab </h2>



<p>What surprised me most on our trip was how often we saw <strong>crab claws</strong> on the menu.<em> I love crab</em>, and I couldn&#8217;t believe the bounty of crab we found in Ireland. <strong>Irish Crab Claws</strong> are a delicacy prized for their sweet and tender meat. And in Ireland, we found that these crab claws were so well priced compared to the high prices I often find for crab in North America. Because they are harvested in abundance along Ireland&#8217;s Atlantic coastline, this means that when travelling along the villages close to the coast, you&#8217;ll be treated with some of the freshest crabs you&#8217;ve ever had! Whether served with a simple garlic butter dip or shredded into a delectable crab bisque, these brown crab claws were some of the best things we ate in Ireland.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scallops</h2>



<p>Thanks to Ireland&#8217;s cold, clean waters, the west coast of Ireland, particularly areas like <strong>Galway and Donegal</strong>, are famous for their high-quality scallops. Irish scallops have a naturally sweet, buttery, briny flavour, thanks to the pristine waters they come from. When pan-seared with a little butter and garlic, it allows the meat&#8217;s natural sweetness to shine through. In <strong>Kinsale</strong>, we were lucky enough to dine at the famous <a href="https://www.thebulman.ie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bulman&#8217;s Bar</strong></a><strong> </strong>and their scallops are served up alongside black pudding, and the pairing of these two iconic Irish dishes was perfect. A must try if you&#8217;re passing through this area.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Irish Lobster</h2>



<p><strong>Irish lobster</strong> is another one of those delicacies that makes travelling in Ireland so special! Caught off Ireland’s cold, clean Atlantic waters, particularly along the west coast, lobster here is prized for its sweet, delicate flavour. You can generally find lobster on the menu from<strong> April to September</strong>, which is considered the peak season. The warmer months provide ideal conditions for catching lobster; during this time, it is freshest, making it a popular item, especially in coastal towns and cities like<strong> Galway and Cork. </strong>Definitely look for seafood restaurants on your travels if you&#8217;re visiting during this time of year because this dish is unmissable!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fish n&#8217; Chips</h2>



<p>Although you might think fish n&#8217; chip is a distinctly <em>British food, in </em>reality, fish and chip was first invented in<strong> Portugal</strong> in the 15th century! From there, it made its way over to Britain and also <strong>Ireland! </strong>Irish fish and chips share similarities with the British version but a few distinct differences. Both are battered and deep-fried fish served with thick-cut chips (or what Americans call fries), but in Ireland, the batter for the fish is often lighter, with some places using a traditional <strong>beer batter</strong> made with local stout, like Guinness, to give the fish a subtle malty flavour.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scones</h2>



<p>Another bakery treat that we found all over the country was <strong>Irish scones. </strong>Again, although you might think of these as typically British, they are also synonymous with Ireland, especially when taken with a cup of <strong>Barry&#8217;s tea</strong>. <strong>Irish scones</strong> are generally smaller, less sweet, and more rustic than American or British ones. But this makes them perfect for pairing with that incredible Irish butter, locally made jam, or rich Irish clotted cream.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Custard</h2>



<p>When we woke up on our first morning in Ireland, we hit the breakfast bar and were immediately drawn to the delicious-looking <strong>custard-style yogurt</strong>, and it immediately became a must-have with every morning meal! <strong>Irish custard-style yogurt </strong>has a thick, creamy texture, similar to custard, but with the tangy flavour of yogurt. Irish custard-style yogurt sets itself apart by using high-quality milk from grass-fed cows, which is known for its richness. Ireland’s temperate climate and lush green pastures contribute to the high quality of the milk used in dairy products, giving the yogurt its superior taste. Although they have relatively normal flavours like <strong>vanilla, strawberry or honey</strong>, my favourites were the <strong>rhubarb</strong>, which is grown in excess in Ireland.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Irish Breakfast Roll</h2>



<p>Found in most large petrol stations, the<strong> Irish Breakfast Roll </strong>is the perfect thing to get your morning started! Walk up to the<strong> hot counter</strong> inside the station, where you can find an array of breakfast foods steaming away, ready to be rolled into a<strong> fresh sandwich roll.</strong> You can choose what ingredients you want inside, but traditionally, you&#8217;ll find that almost everything you eat in an Irish full breakfast is also stuffed inside one of these rolls. This includes <strong>bacon, sausages, black or white pudding, fried eggs, mushrooms, and tomatoes</strong> smothered in <strong>Irish butter and brown sauce.</strong> Trust me, you&#8217;ll be full past lunchtime after one of these! A great thing to grab if you&#8217;re planning to hike after breakfast, as you&#8217;ll be fueled up for the journey.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cockles &amp; Mussels</h2>



<p>In <strong>Dublin,</strong> you might pass a statue of the famous <em>&#8220;Molly Malone,&#8221;</em> from the famous Irish song about a fishmonger who sold &#8220;<strong>cockles and mussels</strong>&#8221; on the streets of Dublin. <strong>Cockles</strong> are small, edible <strong>bivalves similar to clam</strong>s, and although they are rarer to be found on the menus today,<strong> Irish mussels</strong> are still popular. Both are harvested from Ireland&#8217;s clean coastal waters, which is why they taste so fresh and delicious! Often cooked in white wine or Irish stout, this light sauce elevates the naturally salty flavours of the shellfish. If you&#8217;re lucky enough to spot cockles on the menu, definitely give them a try. Small, salty shellfish, often found in tidal flats along the Irish coast, have a similar briny, slightly sweet flavour. They are so small compared to mussels and clams, but intensely flavourful!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://dingledistillery.ie/gin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Dingle Gin</a></h2>



<p>Everyone talks about <strong>Guinness</strong> and <strong>Jameson</strong>, but <strong><a href="https://dingledistillery.ie/gin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Dingle Gin</a></strong> is an under-the-radar drink which you need top try on your next trip! <strong>Dingle Gin</strong> is an award-winning craft gin produced by the <strong>Dingle Distillery</strong> in County Kerry. Known for its distinctive and artisanal approach, Dingle Gin stands out due to its use of <strong>local botanicals</strong>. Among the 13 botanicals used, some are sourced from the surrounding Kerry landscape, including <strong>rowan berries, bog myrtle, hawthorn</strong>, and <strong>heather</strong>, which give the gin a distinctive floral and herbaceous profile, reflecting the rugged beauty of Ireland&#8217;s Wild Atlantic Way. The fruity florals really come across in a gin and tonic, and this drink is one of the most refreshing cocktails I&#8217;ve ever had. Anytime I saw<strong> Dingle Gin</strong> behind the bar,<em> I knew what I was ordering.</em></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Oysters</h2>



<p>Another surprise we found on the trip was the bounty of <strong>oysters </strong>we discovered along our coastal drives, specifically Glenbeigh Oysters. <strong>Irish oysters </strong>are renowned for their exceptional quality and distinctive flavour, thanks to the pristine, nutrient-rich waters surrounding Ireland. The<strong> Glenbeigh oysters </strong>are a <strong>premium variety </strong>of Irish oysters harvested from the unsoiled waters of <strong>Castlemaine Harbou</strong>r, located in <strong>Glenbeigh</strong>, in County Kerry. They are highly sought after by seafood lovers worldwide. But of course, the best place to try them is right along the waters where they&#8217;re caught! There was nothing like balancing the saltiness of the oysters with the fresh, crisp lager. Some may pair oysters with wine, but here in Ireland, you&#8217;ll find they are best enjoyed with a pint of Guinness.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://www.thedoughbros.ie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Dough Bros Pizza</a></h2>



<p>Pizza might seem like one of the odder things to find on a list of foods to eat in Ireland, but <strong><a href="https://www.thedoughbros.ie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Dough Bros Pizza</a></strong> was one of the most outstanding pizzas I&#8217;ve had anywhere in the world and is a must-try when <strong>Galway</strong>. The pizzas at <strong>Dough Bros</strong> are cooked in a traditional <strong>wood-fired oven</strong>, which gives the crust a signature charred, smoky flavour with a chewy, soft texture. Dough Bros uses a mix of Italian ingredients, such as S<strong>an Marzano tomatoes</strong> and <strong>buffalo mozzarella,</strong> alongside<strong> locally sourced Irish produce, </strong>creating this fantastic blend of traditional Italian flavours and the freshness of Irish ingredients. After so much traditional Irish cuisine, it&#8217;s always nice to change it up!</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Eating Gluten-Free in Ireland?</h3>



<p><strong>Ireland</strong>&nbsp;is also one of the most&nbsp;<strong>accessible cities</strong>&nbsp;to travel to if you have a&nbsp;<strong>gluten allergy</strong>. Ireland has one of the&nbsp;<strong>highest rates of coeliac disease</strong>&nbsp;in Europe.&nbsp;<strong>Coeliac disease</strong>&nbsp;is an autoimmune condition where&nbsp;<strong>gluten</strong>&nbsp;(found in&nbsp;<strong>wheat, barley, and rye</strong>) triggers severe digestive issues. Due to this higher prevalence, there is a strong demand for&nbsp;<strong>gluten-free options</strong>&nbsp;nationwide. As a result, many&nbsp;<strong>restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets</strong>&nbsp;have adapted to cater to people who need gluten-free diets, making&nbsp;<strong>gluten-free food</strong>&nbsp;widely available. On almost every menu, you would see an&nbsp;<strong>extensive list of allergens</strong>&nbsp;in each dish, and I was so impressed at how&nbsp;<strong>easy</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>accessible</strong>&nbsp;this made ordering food if you suffer from allergies. Even in the&nbsp;<strong>small towns</strong>, we saw them making many accommodations, so never hesitate to&nbsp;<strong>ask</strong>!</p>

<p>Ireland&#8217;s food scene is a celebration of the country&#8217;s rich heritage and abundant natural resources. From the creamy indulgence of Irish butter to the tender sweetness of local seafood like oysters and lobster, each dish is a testament to Ireland&#8217;s deep connection to its land and sea. These iconic Irish dishes are not just meals but experiences that connect you to the heart of Ireland.</p>
