Frequently Asked Questions

Is a food tour in Limerick worth it?

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Limerick and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What is the most famous food in Limerick?

It can be hard to choose with so many delicious dishes in Limerick, but many locals and visitors agree that some favorites include fresh seafood specialties, hearty Irish stews, and traditional dishes made with locally sourced lamb. Limerick’s food scene also features artisanal cheeses, freshly baked breads, and cozy cafés serving classic Irish breakfasts. Exploring the city through its cuisine is a perfect way to taste the authentic flavors of the region.

Are tourists welcome in Limerick?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Limerick tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Limerick.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic Limerick experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.
