Not everyone is a natural culinary creative, and sometimes it’s hard to get a handle even on the simple stuff. So this year Simon Lamont is hosting a brand new experience ‘The Lazy Basics’ where he will teach visitors handy hacks in 20 mins so they can impress friends and family at their next dinner party. Really embracing the theme, this will definitely be the opportunity to get to grips with how to create great dishes that are “all play with no work”!

In the line-up of restaurants, the food lovers theme will be showcased by restaurants like Greene’s of Cork, Roly’s Bistro, China Sichuan, The Port House, Saba, Suesey Street, Pickle and Jaipur.

Top returning attractions at this year’s Taste of Dublin include the Daily Specials, the O’Brien’s Wine tasting experience, the Style Afternoon and Destination Thailand, who will once again allow visitors to transport themselves to Thailand through cuisine and cocktails.
