Have you heard about the Vegan Foodie Festival?
The self-billed first event of it’s kind, the Vegan Foodie Festival takes place in Dublin over the weekend of 19-21 January with the aim of finding “unique ways to promote vegan products, increase sales for vegan & vegan friendly restaurants, while offering something different for foodies in the city”.
Maybe you’ve gone down the ‘veganuary’ road for January? Like me, perhaps you’re tired of frozen turkey and ham leftovers? Maybe you’re already living the vegan life? Whatever the excuse, you’ve now got a great reason to get out of the house this month. Plus, you get to tuck into new vegan offerings from restaurants and eateries in Dublin.
Consequently, if you prefer getting your hands around a meaty burger, there’s always Burger Fest to look forward to.
What is the Vegan Foodie Festival?
It’s “a celebration of the wonderful mix of vegan and vegan friendly restaurants on offer in the City, running from the 19th to 21th of January in Dublin. We are challenging vegan diners to ‘try something new’, hoping that people will be up for sampling some new dishes and styles of food.”
“Participating restaurants, take aways and cafes offering new set menus, discounts and other special offers. Be it coffee and cake, lunch or a dinner you’re after, our Vegan Foodie Festival is sure to tempt your taste buds.” (Read more about it here)
