32 counties. 32 desserts. A challenge we are 100% up for.
There are two types of people in the world, and it is easy to identify them when there is 2-course meal deal going in a restaurant. If you are one of the people who go for a starter-and-a-main, then this article on the best desserts in Ireland might not be for you.

If there are any outlets you think we’ve missed out on, please do let us know. But until then, here you go, county by county and the best dessert in each of them, starting with…
