International celebrity chefs including Antony Worrall Thompson and Gino D’Acampo showcased their culinary skills in the Drumms Chef Demonstration Theatre along with Irish chefs Rachel Allen, Kevin Dundon and Neven Maguire, Ross Lewis, Derry Clarke, and Oliver Dunne.

A super line up of live music entertained visitors on two stages, as legendary 80’s tribute band Springbreak played to a sell out crowd on Saturday afternoon.

This year, Taste of Dublin hosted the first Beer Naturally Academy. Other new features included 'Taste of Thailand' the Edward Dillon Wine Experience, the Brown Thomas VIP Suite, the Tikki Bar and the Taste BBQ hosted by Michelin Star Chef Derry Clarke.
