About this episode

Dublin's Merrion Square hosted a vibrant Culinary Fusion Festival celebrating global and Irish culinary talents.

Dublin’s Merrion Square turned into a global food paradise over the weekend, blending international flavors like Palestine, Pakistan, and Taiwan with Ireland’s own culinary gems—think Cork chillies, Valentia Island vermouth, and Co Down craft beer—all set to live jazz. Local heroes shone too: The Salty Buoy’s lobster rolls and King Sitric’s sustainable oysters from Galway’s oyster farming legacy. Attendees, many taking time off work and bringing families, dove headfirst into new tastes—duck, lobster, and more—some even booking workshops ahead. With afternoon and evening tickets priced at €28 and €35 respectively (kids under 16 at reduced rates), it was a vibrant, discovery-driven feast celebrating both global diversity and Irish artisan talent.
