Simple Irish Cuisine

When you dine in our historic country house, you are dining in the internationally recognised birthplace of modern Irish cuisine. Since 1964, we have built this reputation on sustainable food principles, seasonal menus and master craftsmanship. Today, we continue to serve simple Irish cuisine using the freshest seasonal ingredients that we grow in our walled garden, rear on our on-site farm and buy from the most trusted local suppliers.

With seven intimate dining rooms and a menu that changes regularly, this is an ideal restaurant in Cork for lunch and dinner.
