20 YEARS OF CHAMPIONING IRISH CULINARY TOURISM – PEOPLE. PRODUCE. PLACE. EXPERIENCE.
For 20 years, Good Food Ireland® has championed the role of Irish food and drink in how Ireland is experienced, connecting our producers, hospitality, food culture and places with visitors from Ireland and around the world. The Good Food Ireland® Awards celebrate the people, producers, businesses and experiences that put Irish food and drink at the heart of the visitor experience. These are not simply awards for great hotels, restaurants, pubs, cafés or food businesses. They recognise those who understand that food is a way for people to discover Ireland, its producers and ingredients, its landscapes and communities, its traditions and stories, and the distinctive character of its places. From the farmer and fisherman to the chef, producer, host and experience creator, our Awards recognise those who champion Irish provenance, local sourcing, seasonality, craftsmanship and hospitality, and turn them into experiences that visitors remember.
From producer to plate. From land and sea to visitor experience. From local provenance to Ireland’s global culinary reputation. For 20 years, Good Food Ireland® has helped champion the people and places behind Ireland’s food story.
The Good Food Ireland® Awards recognise those who bring that story to life.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD FOOD IRELAND® AWARD?
IRISH INGREDIENTS FIRST. EXPERIENCE ROOTED IN PLACE.
A Good Food Ireland® Award starts with the food, but it goes beyond the plate.
Irish ingredients. Irish producers. Irish seasons. Irish landscapes. Irish traditions. Irish people.
We believe that the strongest culinary tourism experiences begin with the quality, provenance and character of what is produced on our island. The food tells us something about the land and sea, the people who work them, the traditions they carry and the places they call home. That is why our Awards recognise businesses, producers and people who put Irish food and drink at the heart of what they do, not simply as an ingredient, but as a way of connecting visitors with people, produce, place and story. From the provenance of an ingredient to the experience created around it, a Good Food Ireland® Award recognises those who make Ireland’s food and drink an authentic and meaningful part of the visitor experience.
Irish ingredients are the beginning. People, place and experience are what bring the story to life.
