Foodie Towns Finalists Announced

The Restaurants Association of Ireland today announced their top 10 finalists in the ‘Foodie Towns’ competition 2015.
In the search for Ireland’s premier food destination, applications from all over the country were thoroughly assessed and narrowed down by an independent panel of judges.
There was some tough competition this year, but based on the applications received, the top ten ‘Foodie Towns’ of Ireland in 2015 are as follows:

Boyne Valley
Derry
Dungarvan
Howth
Kilkenny
Kinsale
Loop Head Peninsula
Sligo
The Burren
West Cork

Each of the ten finalists will now receive a pre-arranged visit by a pair of independent assessors in the coming weeks. This assessment will be combined with a national public voting campaign where the public can choose their winning foodie destination out of the ten finalists – this can be done through www.foodietowns.ie. Both components will carry equal weight in the overall score.
The winning town/destination will be crowned ‘Foodie Town of Ireland 2015’ in October.

A national public voting campaign begins today with each of the ten finalists canvassing the country to vote for them

Online voting will take place via www.foodiestowns.ie from Friday 11th September at 12 noon
