A guest’s experience
“I flew into Dublin for Beneath the Surface in March and I’m so glad I did. It was such a lovely mix of art, amazing food and meaningful conversations.”
“I left with lovely memories and a piece of art that means something to me.”
A partner’s perspective
“Collaborating with Tanya on Beneath the Surface was a genuinely rewarding experience. She brought two months of careful planning and a clear creative vision, which gave IBILE the space to focus on what we do best the food. The brief was a beautiful challenge: weaving a full dining experience through a live art event, so that food became part of the creative journey rather than a pause from it. The response spoke for itself; guests are still talking about the food to this day. We'd be delighted to work with Tanya again.”
