Killarney Advertiser, Cuisine Food Feature, Fri 23rd August 2019

Welcome to our special cuisine feature The school holidays are almost over and what better way to cheer us up with a special cuisine feature to get the mouths watering!

Kerry is known for great food, service and a céad míle fáilte, and to celebrate its reputation for quality food we have a jampacked feature focusing on all the best food offerings available to locals and visitors.

This feature highlights great restaurants, cafés and hotels for our readers to enjoy, and appeals to those who are looking for a casual bite to eat or to those who want to treat themselves for that special occasion.

In next week’s edition (Friday, August 30), we have our monthly Home & Living feature, which will be showcasing master bedrooms, guestrooms and much more.

The Brehon Hotel, Killarney

Dine at the Danú The award-wining culinary team at The Brehon invites you to dine in Danú Restaurant this August and enjoy three courses along with a bottle of house wine for just €35 per person.

Carefully curated by Head Chef, Chad Byrne, Danú’s menu offers fun, flavour and freshness in a relaxed and casual setting. With a selection of dishes from vibrant small plates to hearty mains, signature favourites to quirky takes on the classics, this food is a celebration of local produce, market fresh ingredients and a talented kitchen team.

A shining light of the burgeoning Irish food scene, Chad and his team grow their own herb garden, work in tandem with some of Ireland’s best food producers

and collaborate with their industry peers.

All this to bring you food that is as inspiring as it is delicious in a place that is as beautiful as it is relaxed.

This fantastic Table D’hote menu changes often to reflect seasonal produce, but you can expect to choose from starters like crispy prawn scampi or baked Le Chevre goat’s cheese and main courses like slow cooked pork steak or roast hake fillet. Desserts are simply delicious with choices varying from sticky toffee pudding to apple and berry crumble.

The Heights Hotel

High-end gastro dining with a twist Since the launch of The Heights Hotel new bar and brasserie menu in June 2019, the feedback from guests has been extremely positive.

Whilst dining at The Heights you’ll receive nothing but quality food in relaxing surroundings complimented by a warm and welcoming service. With their newest menu, the choices are fun and entirely different to anything you’ll find in Kerry.

“Genuinely there's something on the menu for everyone,” Head Chef Jamie Cronin said.

“I wanted to create a menu that as a guest you're reading it and think to yourself 'I really don't know what to order because there's so much I see and

want’, and so you come back time and time again.”

It’s high-end gastro dining with a twist.

There are dishes from across the world such as Sticky Pork Belly Bao Buns, the family favourite Snack Box served in a ‘HFC’ branded snack box and classic choices like the Bone in Rib-Eye, Mixed Grill and Lamb Cutlets. There’s a playful element to their desserts, choices such as Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream Sandwich with a giant piece of Honeycomb and DIY Doughnuts - you’re given syringes filled with Homemade Custard, Chocolate Sauce and Jam to fill your doughnuts yourself, or a classic Baked Apple ‘Crumble’ with a twist. The entire team at The Heights Hotel look forward to welcoming you, your family and friends to try out the highly anticipated menu.

Malarkey Restaurant

New dishes daily at Malarkey Restaurant Malarkey Restaurant on New Street has foodies travelling far and wide to sample Seamus O’Connell’s take on modern Irish local cuisine.

The former owner/chef of The Ivory Tower Cork is creating a following locally for those who desire to try something different. Offering a range of menus from tasting to three course set dinners, Seamus, who is an award winning chef, thrives on creating new dishes daily with whatever ingredients are in season.

“Now is my favourite time of the year,

with game season afoot, and the magical earthy fruits of the wood, wild mushrooms especially,” Seamus said.

“The summer produce has been slow so I'm looking forward to an Indian summer with lots of rich flavours, such as bay laurel crusted venison with blackberry BBQ sauce, or seared wood pigeon with beetroots and rocket.”

The restaurant is housed in the former Chapter 40 premises and has been fully renovated.

Open seven nights a week, reservations can be made on 064 662 2566 or see www.malarkey.ie.
