Taste the Hillsborough oysters

Oysters to savour with relish!

Galway isn’t the only place to enjoy delicious Irish oysters! In the village of Hillsborough, County Down, you can also sample the best of the local gastronomy!

Their oysters are delicious, and can be enjoyed plain, with a squeeze of lemon, or with a pint of Irish stout! Their oysters are mainly served in local restaurants, Irish pubs and fishmongers’ shops.

The Irish love them, and every year they organize the Hillsborough Oyster Festival in September. The program includes oyster-opening contests, tasting sessions and competitions featuring internationally renowned Irish chefs! What better way to spend a gastronomic moment!
