THE WILD ATLANTIC WAY IS ONE OF EUROPE’S MOST SOUGHT-AFTER CULINARY DESTINATIONS

With fertile soils, a rich marine environment, mild climate, and - yes - plenty of rain, the Wild Atlantic Way region is the ideal destination for food producers and lovers alike.

From Burren Smokehouse smoked salmon, Achill Mountain and Clew Bay lamb, Clonakilty Blackpudding and Durrus Farmhouse cheeses to Irish whiskey, craft beers, fine dairy ice creams and artisan chocolates, there’s something along the route to satisfy every appetite.

Its western shores are home to some of the finest cafés and restaurants in the country, including two Michelin star and three Bib Gourmand winners. Vegetarians and vegans will find world-class cuisine to suit their tastes, while the abundance of fresh seafood, meat, dairy and produce in the region attracts purveyors of gourmet international fare from around the globe.

Ireland’s first long-distance touring route – and the world’s longest defined coastal drive at 2,500km – is also a culinary road map guaranteed to bring you right to the door of some of the country’s finest pubs, restaurants and artisanal producers.

Whether you break it into bite-sized chunks or swallow it whole in one dramatic adventure, the Wild Atlantic Way is the food trip of a lifetime – just sit back, loosen your belt and enjoy the ride.
