Lovers of food, culture and fashion descended upon the Iveagh Gardens earlier today for the exclusive launch of Taste of Dublin, inspired by NEFF.
After almost two years, the event is back to full capacity boasting an eclectic mix of well-known Irish chefs, artisan food innovators and cultural food inspired experiences.
The splendour of the Compass Ireland Garden provided the backdrop for a beautiful summer garden party where guests relaxed in the sunshine and sipped champagne while enjoy signature canapes created by Compass Ireland ambassador Danni Barry.
Pippa O’Connor and her husband Brian Ormond were among the well-known faces who attended today’s event, as well as James Patrice, Laura Woods and Tara O’Farrell.
Over the course of the weekend, the event is expecting more than 32,000 people to attend and partake in the culinary delights on offer.
Over 10,000 glass of glasses of champagne will be consumed, 80,000 dishes will be served and over 150 Irish producers will feature as part of this year’s festival.
