About

Galway and the West of Ireland is the first region in Ireland to be designated the European Region of Gastronomy for 2018. Food plays a critical role in all our lives in Galway, from farmer and fisherman to chef, restaurateur or consumer, we all engage with food on a daily basis however do we recognise the abundance of high quality, rich produce on offer right at our doorstep. This designation will focus attention on the vital role of the food industry in the West of Ireland and how central it is to our present and future. The award also presents us with a European platform to not only showcase Galway and the wonderful food produce we have but also provides an opportunity to welcome European food tourists to our region to sample our fine fayre.
