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!

Book this! It's lovely and yummy! - We experienced this tour while visiting our son who's in college at UCD. Loved it! Frank is a true ambassador to his country, he's knowledgeable about the food and entertained us well. Part of this tour is a surprise, and we absolutely loved it. I won't spoil it for you but it's really something that adds to the experience. This tour is that "something different" that you're looking for. It's a great way to spend an afternoon in Dublin. You definitely get your money's worth on the alcohol and you don't leave hungry. The food is delicious and very interesting, some of the dishes are absolutely amazing. Being at Gallagher's Boxty venue itself is also a special experience. The people are friendly and welcoming. Book this tour! You'll love it.

Wonderful intro to Traditional Irish Grub - Frank is passionate about Irish food and history. Each course arrived after a enlightening explanations of the dishes to come and where many of the ingredients were sourced from in Ireland. They were paired with local libations and also traditional song. We really enjoyed the whole experience. Sharing a pint after with Frank at a local pub was fun too!
