Taste Tramore
Celebrates the rich food culture and coastal heritage of Tramore
Taste Tramore is a voluntary, committee-led collective of local food and drink businesses, established in 2019 to champion Tramore, Co. Waterford as a leading culinary destination. Now in its seventh year, Taste Tramore has grown into a vibrant and collaborative network, driven by a passionate board drawn from the local hospitality and business community.
From cafés and restaurants to chefs and artisan producers, Taste Tramore brings together the very best of the town's food scene. Rooted in Tramore's coastal heritage, the initiative celebrates local flavours while fostering a strong sense of community pride.
Working in partnership with Waterford City & County Council, Taste Tramore plays a key role in promoting Tramore as a dynamic, year-round destination for food lovers and visitors alike.
A highlight of the calendar is the Vitamin Sea Festival—a unique celebration of food, culture, and community that showcases the people and produce that make Tramore special.
Through collaboration, events, and shared vision, Taste Tramore continues to support local businesses and invite visitors to experience the authentic flavours of the coast.
