Since being recognised by the Restaurants Association of Ireland (RAI) as Ireland’s top foodie destination, Kilkenny has continued to enhance its position as an unmissable part of Ireland’s food culture.
As an agricultural stronghold, with some of the best pasture land in Ireland, farming plays a huge role in the story of food in Kilkenny. The deep connection between land and community is central to both Kilkenny’s cultural heritage and to its future role as a hub of innovation and transformation for sustainable food production.
