Wonderful intro to Traditional Irish Grub - Frank is passionate about Irish food and history. Each course arrived after a enlightening explanations of the dishes to come and where many of the ingredients were sourced from in Ireland. They were paired with local libations and also traditional song. We really enjoyed the whole experience. Sharing a pint after with Frank at a local pub was fun too!

Get ready for a lot of good food! - I really enjoyed the experience. Frank provided insights/a historical perspective into all of the food. This was very interesting. When I first saw the menu, I thought we would pick one of the offerings per grouping. Well, was I wrong! We sampled some of each. And they were all delicious. I even commented that the Irish stew brought a 50+ year flashback of the stew my mom used to make! Make sure you have a big appetite ready.

One word; FAB-U-LOUS - Frank hosted some great Canadian folk and I for an incredible 2 hours plus of food, drink and chat at The Boxty House in Temple Bar. A lovely venue with great authentic Irish food and drink. Frank spent a good deal of time putting this together with some great stories. He is incredibly passionate about Irish food and culture. A real art and superb creativity. And he's found a great place to eat at. Probably the best tour I have ever done.

Do not miss this experience! - At first it seemed a little intimidating because of the size of the menu and the tour is actually very personalized to small groups, it was just my girlfriend and I. Frank is so personable that the worry was immediately gone. Although the menu does seem overwhelming the portions are actually perfect size, but come on an empty stomach. The food was delicious. You get to try traditional Irish food that really isn't available in the modern cuisine and Frank ties it all in with history of the dish and personal stories attached to certain dishes. It's a history lesson and food experience all in one. I was a little apprehensive about the black pudding knowing it was blood sausage but it was so flavorful, it was actually one of my favorite items on the menu The alcoholic drinks were also great. My favorite was the Irish coffee it was so good it put others I previously had to shame. If you want great food tied together with history by an outstanding host then you can't miss this experience. Frank mentioned brining this to the States and if he does I'll defintely have my ticket.

Give this a 10!! - If this was a competition for the food and entertainment Olympics, this would be a 10! Our host was fabulous. He really brought Irish culture and food history alive. And his singing of the Irish National Anthem was lovely and a special touch! Recommend highly!!

Something Really Special - We have done a few “taste of” tours before; walk a lot, eat a little, along the way listening to interesting, sometimes riveting stories told by the tour guide. But this was a step above even the best of our previous experiences. First, this was not a walking tour… this was a sit down meal of Authentic Irish Cuisine. The chef at Gallagher’s Boxty House prepared and array of tasty treasures. But. What made this exceptional was our host (tour guide) Frank. You see Frank has a passion for spreading the magic of Irish heritage. He knows the back stories on each dish and each beverage. He sang to the table. He told us about himself in an endearing, not overbearing way. If you really want a special afternoon experience… Do This! Oh, by the way, people who say “ who goes to Ireland for the food?” Has never tasted authentic Irish Cuisine!
