The menu has tender meat, fish, dairy, vegetarian and vegan dishes for all tastes and appetites. Signature dishes include hand-picked beef, dry-aged for up to 36 days in Himalayan sea-salt. This name derives from the fire which seals and caramelizes the steak and the salt which seasons it.

Topping off a memorable meal, the desserts are skillfully constructed and beautifully decorated by their very talented pastry chef. They are almost too good to eat… but only if you have the willpower to resist.

Breakfast is served daily using only the finest quality ingredients, from free range eggs from Louth, quality bacon from Kilkenny, our famous family breakfast sausages from Granby’s in Dublin, to our own homemade quality jams, curds and spreads.
