Whenever I mention that the biggest discovery of my first visit to Ireland was the high quality of the food, some people think I am joking. But a few days into my second visit and my inital opinion is confirmed. Dining in Ireland is a delight.
The first evening in Galway, we couldn't decide which of many wonderful options to select so we enjoyed a moveable feast...an appetizer and glass of wine in an Italian bistro, an entree of locally-sourced seafood stew at an organic restaurant, and dessert from a little place that specializes in pies either sweet or savory. We went with rubbarb ginger.
We have enjoyed fine foods in many different settings. We had fresh mussels from Killary Fiord at a small family eatery, locally-provided salmon while dining in a castle, and an amazing vegan mushroom soup while at a museum cafe.
We've had yummy scones, home-baked breads, and even delicious porridge. In Galway, we found the best breakfast at the Providence Market Kitchen.
This evening, crab salad and lamb shank, both from the local providers.
The farm to fork concept is clearly evident in Ireland, and we are the beneficiaries.
