Taste of Sligo Tours
Hosted by Anthony Gray
Where It All Began
As a passionate Sligo man, a father and restauranteur, Anthony’s true love is showcasing local and seasonal produce in an artistic environment.
Anthony is ” THE NORTH WEST’S ULTIMATE FOODIE” and in March 2019 was awarded “LOCAL FOOD HERO” for Sligo & Connaught.
He dedicates his time to being a champion of Sligo and the Wild Atlantic way, working closely with Failte Ireland to power the local food revolution in the Northwest.
Having previously held the position of chairman, Anthony is now on the board of the Sligo Food Trail, which has been energetically and effectively putting the dynamic food culture of the beautiful city of Sligo on the culinary map of Ireland. He is also past President of the Restaurant Association of Ireland.
Anthony is a restaurateur, in his benchmark Eala Bhan restaurant (recently awarded best seafood venue), as well as his newest addition, Hooked winner of many awards and recognitions also, located on Tobergal Lane in Sligo.
Hooked is inspired by the traditional butcher’s shop which Anthony’s father Joe had in Sligo for many years. Joe Gray supplied the town with handmade award winning products and Anthony wanted to incorporate a piece of his family history into his ventures.
On a daily basis Anthony and his team put the tastes of Sligo and the North West of Ireland right there on your plate, sourcing superb artisan ingredients to complete his picture of proud, self-contained and ambitious food therefore he makes the ideal host to guide you in sampling the best that Sligo has to offer.
His relationship with other local businesses and suppliers allows him to bring together the best of the Wild Atlantic Way for you to enjoy on Taste of Sligo Tours.
Anthony would like to continue to inspire others and dedicate time to communicating the wonderful culture and produce that we have here in the Wild Atlantic Way.
He welcomes media and event opportunities that allows him to contribute to the development of the Northwest of Ireland and his campaign to promote healthy eating for kids.
