Experience Dublin’s Food and Drink Landscape

Fingal Tourism and Fingal Food Network support by Fingal County Council has created a local food and drink campaign entited ‘Dublin’s Coast & Fields’. This initiative will celebrate the land, the waters, the heritage, the people and of course, the produce of North County Dublin. The network and the campaign will showcase regional quality and a sense of place of the region through their menus, hospitality offering and culinary experiences.

Land and Sea

North County Dublin is rich in Land and Sea which reflects the strong farming and fishing ties historically associated with the landscape. The region is particularly known for its horticulture, coastal and fishing villages, Viking settlements and castles. The 88 kilometres of rugged coastlines contain two of Ireland’s leading picturesque fishing ports, Howth and Skerries, which receive daily landings of fish and shellfish. Fingal’s rich fertile lands in beautiful rural areas like Naul, Garristown and Lusk provide numerous amounts of Ireland’s grown vegetables, fruit and herbs which are produced in a variety of ways; great glasshouses, luscious green fields to an abundance of small private and community owned allotments jotted across the region. 

The views from the skies as you land or takeoff from Dublin Airport is one of those breathtaking moments that always make you appreciate how land and water can change throughout the year. 

 

Fingal Food Network envisage that this initiative will bring the culinary rural landscape and coastal communities together in promoting the people, businesses and events in North County Dublin who deliver a true taste of the region. The network and its customer facing brand Dublin’s Coast and Fields will show regional quality and a sense of place by celebrating the relationship with the producer, chef, server, tour guides, and the consumer – which could be a local who lives in the area, daily visitor or an international tourist.
