Taste of Dublin 2025 Returns to Merrion Square

Get ready, foodies! Dublin’s most delectable festival is back for its 20th birthday celebration. This year’s Taste of Dublin will take place from June 12th to 15th.

What’s Cooking at Taste of Dublin 2025

This year, 18 of Ireland’s finest restaurants will set up shop in the heart of the city, with over 70 dishes. Some of the top names include BIGFAN, known for its modern Asian street food, and Parrilla, bringing a taste of Argentina to the table.

From the bold bites at NOMO Ramen to the South Asian fare at Daata, the food is as "Diverse as it is delicious". Bovinity will cater to meat lovers, while the crowd-pleasing favourites from Little Geno’s and the flavours of the Middle East from Shaku Maku round out a seriously tempting lineup.

But Taste of Dublin is more than just sampling plates. The SuperValu Real Food Kitchen will offer live cooking demonstrations, while the San Miguel Spanish Bar invites guests to unwind with a refreshing cerveza in hand.

You can also enjoy the Glendalough Distillery Masterclasses, or perk up your palate at the Caffè Vergnano coffee workshops. For those with a sweet tooth, Tony's Chocolonely Chocolate Making Experience is not to be missed.

Meanwhile, the Volvo Fika Lounge brings a slice of Scandinavian calm to the chaos, while the Around the Table with JYSK installation lets you kick back in comfort. The BORA Food Truck will be sizzling up gourmet treats, and the Sullivan’s Brewing Company Bar ensures your pint glass stays full.

For those with a thirst for knowledge, the CKC Cocktail Bar, O’Briens Wine Masterclasses, and Fercullen Irish Whiskey tastings offer education with a side of indulgence. And all of this is soundtracked by live performances on the Bulmers Music Stage, because no great meal is complete without some great tunes.
