GOOD FOOD GUIDE
If there is one thing we do well in this country, it’s food. Foodie culture has really taken off and farmers’ markets have become increasingly popular with many people travelling far and wide to attend and gather the freshest ingredients for their meals. Some of the most popular and longest running farmers’ day markets take place at St George’s in Belfast. St Georges dates back to 1890 and remains one of the most popular markets in the UK and Ireland. After lockdown, many people were excited to get back to restaurants and cafés to enjoy the delicious food that is on offer, as well as soak up the electric atmosphere with friends and family. Local restaurants and takeaway establishments place a greater emphasis on allergies and intolerances, providing more vegan and gluten-free options so that needs are catered for. But remember, it is not all about the food. With a number of award-winning breweries and distilleries in Northern Ireland, you are guaranteed to find the perfect aperitif or night cap to round off your dining experience. Food and drink are at the heart of the Northern Ireland, so read on to see a whiskey-inspired event, a perfect picnic recipe and some local companies who have achieved star ratings at the Great Taste Awards 2022.
