All that exploring makes a person hungry!
The westcoast of Ireland is famous for certain cuisine. Think freshly caught seafood from the wild Atlantic outside, warm loaves of freshly baked bread, and dishes made with butter, milk and cheese. Some islanders still grow their own vegetables and many cafés serve from their own kitchen garden and source local fish when possible.
