Flavours of Kildare

Put your business on the map – literally and digitally.

Flavours of Kildare is an initiative proudly backed by Kildare County Council and the Local Enterprise Office (LEO) to showcase the very best of our county’s food, drink, hospitality and tourism offerings. Whether you're a food producer, restaurant, artisan maker, market trader, cafe, catering service, food training provider or part of the local food tourism network – this is your opportunity to stand out and be discovered.

By registering your business on FlavoursOfKildare.ie, you’ll join a growing and well-promoted directory of trusted local providers. It’s not just another listing – it’s a high-visibility platform that will be actively marketed by the Council and LEO across social media, tourism events, newsletters, press, and digital channels.
