Description
The jewel in North Kerry's fine cuisine crown. Winner of Best Casual Dining Award in Ireland 2015 “Named after the previous owner, Helen Mullane and Armel Whyte’s café-bar seems much older than it is, as the whole interior was reconstructed with salvaged materials (the flooring was once in the London Stock Exchange).
It is brilliantly done, with the long, narrow bar divided up in the traditional way, with oilcloth-covered tables, now extending into a restaurant in the house next door. It is the type of contemporary, self-confident Irish eating house that visitors hope for but do not always find in every provincial town.
Helen is an impressive hostess, buzzing about, dealing with orders and queries with grace and efficiency, backed up by an organised kitchen playing to it’s strengths: great raw materials, careful cooking by a mix of old hands and new recruits, well led by Armel.
Pub/bistro lunch dishes executed with flair include the most delightfully fishy chowder, quiches, a tasty filo parcel of goats cheese with mixed leaves and Mediterranean vegetables and crispy potato skins, fresh fish and crab and simple but excellent homemade desserts, such a citrus tart and an innovative courgette and chocolate gateau.
You could have a quick lunch here for less than €12 and not feel that your low spend was in any way resented.
A different à la carte at dinner offers mains ranging from €19 to €32, highlighting the days fresh fish and seafood from Fenit and with some good meat dishes - a perfectly cooked stuffed pork fillet with braised cabbage, for example, at €28.95.”
