Halloween 👻 is over for another year but at least we still get to enjoy the remnants of the Barmbrack (meaning speckled loaf) as we head into the weekend. This one by is everything we want one to be, moist, rich and with surprises hidden inside.
Finding a ring 💍 means marriage, a stick means an unhappy marriage and a rag indicates poverty 😳. Growing up in Ireland especially at Halloween 🎃 is not for the faint hearted ❣️ -

Last Friday we transformed Gaván, Danii & Layla into Lord & Lady Powerscourt and little Lady Amelia for Culture Night 2024. They transported us back to 1774 and Powerscourt Townhouse was the talk of Dublin town again after 250 years.

Our meeting point is on the lower ground floor of which is a 250 year old Georgian mansion on South William St., Dublin. Then it belonged to the Wingfield family, today it houses one of Ireland’s most exclusive shopping centres. While preparing for her 250th birthday this year we have been delving into the families history and as part of that we went to visit The Powerscourt Eatate which was the Wingfields country estate at Enniskerry Co.Wicklow. Named in National Geographic’s top 3 formal gardens of the world and only an hour from us in the city mansion it’s a no brainier for a day trip out of Dublin. Those who join us on tour will get a guided tour of the city mansion and unbelievably we often enjoy the first course of@the tour in the dinning room of the house.

We are so lucky to have many galleries and museums free to visit in Dublin City. If you need to fill 20mins or half an hour don’t forget you can dip in to see one exhibit and grab a coffee nearby. In the next few days we will share some of our favourite ‘coffee and culture in 20mins’ spots in Dublin. Today we were in , we visit regularly to see the Harry Clarke pieces and today we also viewed MORE POWER TO YOU: Sarah Purser and saw stained glass by Evie Hone and Micheal Healy.

Meet Our Team - Hi Gav, or some may know him as King Frodo or a Njal (if you know you know). Gaván has been the conduit for many more guides joining Flavour Trails and is definitely the craic conduit to us and to all that join him on tour. He is big in person and in personality and we wouldn’t want him any other way.

The Hags with the Bags are back outside one of our favourite restaurants in the city . This week we had some lovely customers staying at Zanzibar Locke Hotel who spotted the ‘Meeting Place’ sculpture and loved hearing the nicknames Dubliners have for our statues and sculptures around the city.
We also recommended a visit to the Woollen Mills sister venues and .

We love to provide great options at each stop on the Irish Food Trail. Dublin Bay prawns, Wicklow bán brie croquettes or creamy seafood chowder served with soda bread and ‘real’ butter were on the menu at venue one today. We endeavour to make sure that each person who books our tour knows why each dish is served, after all each dish has a story and we love to tell them.

We are in New York City so I had to book the . It was recommended to me by Andrea who joined me on tour a few weeks ago. The meeting point was Bleecker St, it was easy to find as was our guide Jack. The tour was similar to ours in that we got lots of great history and fun facts on the tour. We had 6 food stops and honestly I really liked them all. We started with cannoli , it’s was everything you want - crispy, creamy and just sweet enough! We moved on to an Italian specialty food store for salami and arancini. We also did a little shopping here - really great stop! The third stop was and wow this pizza would knock your socks off - we will be back. Next was and we had the pomme frites of course, twice cooked accompanied with some of the greatest sauces I ever had, my favourites were the roasted garlic, the truffle sauce and the Thai - delicious. We finished with cupcakes , I indulged in the butterscotch & salted caramel and had the blueberry cheese. It was a nice touch that you could choose your own flavour! They also run a beer, pizza and history tour which sounded fun. Check@them out next time you are in NYC!

Did you know the significance of the Jack O’Lanter? Our Lara wrote a poem about why we carve turnips at Halloween and it all begins with a man called Stingy Jack! #jack #stingyjack #jackolantern #jackolanterns #coal #devil #samhain #irishfoodtrail

The Flavour Trails team had lunch at one of our favourite touring spots for whiskey and Dessert & Irish coffee yesterday . If you are looking for small bites to share with great cocktails and a causal atmosphere @j.t.pims is a no brainer! We sampled the smoked salmon, prawns and cheese board and there was loads for 4 of us to share!

We visited our neighbours @mani.pizza.panini on Drury St today for a nibble. Crunchy base, tasty topping, efficient service - what more could you want? We sampled the sausage & mushroom and carbonara slices but we’ll be back for the lasagna fritta!

Lunch recommendation incoming!!!!

Easter Monday, here is the last of our chocolate recommendations for Dublin. We went to @butlerschocolate for hot chocolate and it didn’t disappoint!

Easter Sunday chocolate search. @murphysicecream is next on the list. I always tell our customers to get two scoops minimum and one of them always has to be the sea salt - it makes every other flavour more amazing!

It’s Easter and that means it’s a great excuse to talk about Irish chocolate. Bean & Goose is a group favourite on the @thewhiskeytrail.ie and it’s one we regularly recommend to customers who are looking to bring a taste of Ireland back home with them. We get ours @shopthegarden and it’s a great pairing with potstill whiskey.

We have the kindest, most thoughtful customers on the @irishfoodtrail. We received a package from Natalia @akamaicareers who booked her colleagues on our tour back in October last year. They were great craic and even sent family members to us later on. Go raibh maith agat for the gorgeous gifts, we have been fighting over them since they arrived and more importantly for joining Gráinne on tour, she said you made her job very easy indeed!

No Black and Tans or Irish Car bombs this St Patrick’s Day people, it’s all about the Baby Guinness!!!!

🦪 🦪 🦪 Gráinne was shocking at shucking but the day spent on the Flaggy Shore was worth the embarrassment. #oyster #oystershucking #flaggyshore #connection #craic #culture

In December all of the guides went to visit Brett @wicklowwaywines. We learned that his passion for wine is contagious and that these huge lids that swing out are his new favourite thing! Thanks for having us Brett!
