Must-try traditional foods & drinks
What to order in Dublin, Ireland, with a fun fact for each
Traditional Savory Dishes
Irish stew
Irish stew, made from lamb or mutton, potatoes and onions simmered slowly, began as a frugal one-pot meal and became Ireland's emblem of hearty, comforting cooking.
Coddle
Coddle, a Dublin favorite of sausages, bacon and potatoes gently simmered in broth, was once an inexpensive, warming meal for working families and remains a symbol of home cooking in the city.
Boxty
Boxty mixes grated and mashed potatoes into pancakes or dumplings, and the folk rhyme 'Boxty on the griddle' hints at its long place in Irish kitchen lore.
Traditional Sweet Dishes
Barmbrack
Barmbrack is a fruit-studded tea bread traditionally baked at Halloween with a hidden ring or coin, and finding it was once a playful way to predict marriage and fortune.
Irish apple tart
Irish apple tart showcases local apples in a simple, buttery pastry and was a classic way for households to celebrate the autumn harvest, often served with a spoonful of custard.
Carrageen pudding
Carrageen pudding uses carrageen moss, a seaweed, as a natural gelling agent, giving the dessert a silky, translucent texture that has been used in Irish kitchens for centuries.
Traditional Beverages
Guinness
Guinness has been brewed at St. James's Gate in Dublin since 1759 under the famous 9,000-year lease signed by Arthur Guinness, and its roasted barley flavor and nitrogenated pour create the signature smooth, creamy head.
Irish whiskey
Irish whiskey helped fuel Dublin's 19th-century distilling boom, and its often triple-distilled, mellow character made it a global favorite for neat drinking and cocktails.
Irish coffee
Irish coffee was created to warm travelers by combining hot coffee, brown sugar, a shot of Irish whiskey, and a float of cream. The trick is to sip the coffee through the cream for a warm, sweet and velvety mouthfeel.
