23 course tasting menu with 6 glass pairing of wine, Irish beer or juice (made in house). Wine choices were a bit novel and from 6 different countries.
4 of the initial courses came in two sets as small appetisers, while the last 6 courses came in a puzzle box and take-home biscuit.
I unfortunately forgot to take pictures of all the courses and forgive my picture of the venison (where I had cut a small piece before being reminded to take a picture 😅).
They pride themselves on utilising local produce and provide you with a list of suppliers at the end of the meal (along with a novel idea to the menu which I won’t spoil).
If you are looking for a fine dining experience that represents food from the West of Ireland, I would recommend. Staff were great fun and up for a bit of a laugh which made the evening very enjoyable.
Approx. 3.5 hours for 3 people.

I agree, we really enjoyed our visit a few months ago!
How large are the wine pours if you’re only getting six? My wife and I have had inconsistent experiences with pairings. Either we get a decent 4oz, if not more pour or we get like 2oz. I love the idea of a wine pairing but at times it feels risky.
Loved the meal we had here 6 years ago. Happy to hear it’s still going strong and still a great time.
Sounds like a great meal and awesome tableware, too – it’s from Fermoyle pottery in Co. Kerry
Echoing a few others – enjoyed the meal we had here NYE 2019 and can still remember the soda bread with oat groats now!
We enjoyed it as well! Went in 2022. One minor annoyance I had was that they didn’t have coffee to serve after because it’s “not Irish” as they have a huge focus on local ingredients. Which is great and I would understand except for all of the wines are obviously not Irish…..
After a huge tasting menu like that, I like to have espresso to help digestion, so I ended up having coffee in our hotel room.
Everything else was wonderful, though, besides that weird quirk.
