Our guide’s in-depth knowledge of the food scene in Dublin really added to the tour and everybody, including the locals, made some great discoveries. I wish I could recount all the historical and cultural details for you but that would spoil the surprise. You’ll have to go on a Fab Food Trail yourself and rediscover your city through its food.

By way of exercise (ahem), we take a foodie tour… Headed up by knowledgeable Eveleen Coyle, it’s a great way to find goodies that simply wouldn’t have occurred to me .

Eveleen Coyle and her niece Alice Coyle had a brilliant concept for food tasting trails in 2009. They started in Dublin but have extended to Cork. It’s a wonderful way to explore a city, learn about its history and food culture in a fun and light-hearted way. Visit and learn in markets, food halls, cheesemongers, butchers, fruit and flower stalls, fish mongers, bakers and have regular tastings.

My guide Eveleen was friendly and very knowledgeable about the local food scene and everything in Dublin. You could tell that she also really made an effort to get to know each person in the group. It really showed her passion for her job.
