Food and drink

Maintaining a healthy diet with a good calorific intake should be a priority on any extended tour.

If the plan is to eat out, the bigger centres generally have a choice of restaurants where a three-course meal will set you back a minimum of €30. Pubs offer cheaper food, although the quality is mixed, and especially in rural areas some pubs only serve food on certain days, or don’t serve food at all. At cafés and pubs you can usually pick up a meal for upwards of €10.

In terms of specialities, the seafood is worth a try anywhere on the Wild Atlantic Way. Bed and breakfasts usually offer a ‘full Irish’ breakfast. The core ingredients are bacon, eggs and toast, while sausages, beans, potato cakes, soda bread, black and white puddings and other fare is often included. Ireland is not a paradise for vegetarians – count on having to look around when eating out.
