Dining in Tipperary: Where Tradition Meets Taste

Dining in Tipperary is about more than just eating out — it’s about gathering with friends, sharing stories, and enjoying the very best food our county has to offer. From cosy countryside pubs to award-winning restaurants, Tipperary has become one of Ireland’s hidden gems for food lovers. At the heart of it all, Bodega 1830 in Clonmel brings together a love for bold flavours, great wine, and warm hospitality.

The Tipperary Food Scene

Tipperary’s dining scene is built on the backbone of its incredible local produce. From family-run farms to artisan makers, the county has become a hub for chefs who want quality and character on every plate.

Here in Clonmel, we’re lucky to work alongside some of the best local suppliers. Brands like Rivesci, known for their award-winning relishes and nut butters, bring bold flavours that elevate even the simplest dishes. The Gourmet Butcher ensures the highest-quality meats, from tender cuts perfect for slow-cooking to premium steaks that never disappoint. And of course, no mention of Tipperary food culture would be complete without Hugh O’Donnell’s chips — a staple of local flavour and a true crowd-pleaser.

It’s this commitment to supporting local that gives Tipperary dining its unique charm. Restaurants here aren’t just cooking; they’re celebrating the region’s farmers, makers, and producers, creating food that tells the story of where it comes from.
