Stanley Tucci jetted into Dublin on May 18.
His visit to the Emerald Isle is due to his appearance at this year’s International Literature Festival, being held at Merrion Square Park from May 19 – 28.
The self-confessed foodie is set to discuss his memoir Taste, which takes readers on a tour of his lusciously stocked kitchen and his equally spectacular career in Hollywood.
On Thursday, Stanley paid a visit to Bar 1661 – which was awarded Ireland’s ‘Bar of the Year’ and ‘Innovative Bar of the Year’ award last year.
The Hollywood actor then enjoyed lunch in Pichet on Trinity Street.
Stanley then visited Lennan’s Yard on Dawson Street before heading to House Dublin, which is based on Leeson Street.
