CEO of the Restaurants Association, Adrian Cummins said “We are delighted to have such a broad range of entries for Foodie Destinations 2019. Ireland has a diverse food landscape and we can’t wait to see the unique contributions that the Foodie Destinations 2019 Finalists are making.”

Ken Tobin of Tralee Chamber Alliance said “We submitted a very detailed application off the back of this year’s successful Food Festival, in recognition of the bustling mix of food on offer in the Hotels and Restaurants around Tralee. We genuinely are both surprised and excited with the fact that we have made the final list of towns.”

“Within the next few weeks the Judges will visit the town to carry out an audit. Even making the shortlist is incredible, but if we won it would be a major coup for Tralee to help promote the town nationally and will bring more business into our town”.
