Lisdoonvarna – Gateway to the Burren
Having made the short list for the Irish Restaurant Association and An Post competition we hope this spreads the news further about the great food in the area to accompany the wide range of activities available
Lisdoonvarna has increasingly come to distinguish itself as a food destination of significance.
A core principle shared by those offering a dining experience in Lisdoonvarna is the centrality of local produce and local producers in the creation and execution of the food experience.
The Burren Slow Food Festival has been running for 9 years, having been established just after the foundation of Slow Food Clare 10 years ago. The Burren Food Fayre is now in its third year and offers Burren food producers an opportunity to showcase their wares to the local community and tourists alike.
The Burren Food Emporium Construction has commenced on the Burren Food Emporium in Lisdoonvarna, a multi-functional food event space. It is a culinary tourism project which will focus on presenting Irish artisan foods to visitors who travel the Wild Atlantic Way touring route. Using demonstration cookery equipment, the calendar will feature visiting chefs and artisan food producers. Using the strapline ˜Taste, Buy, Ship, visitors will first get to taste and sample a wide range of Irish artisan foods, they will also be able to buy directly from the retail space in the emporium and, if satisfied, will be able to continuously shop via mail order once they have returned home. The concept will develop a database of Irish food lovers. It is the first of its kind in Ireland.
