Our award-winning Head Chef Pascal Marinot has curated a menu using the finest local fresh produce and featuring some of Connemara’s most famous exports; Killary Mussels, Connemara Lamb, Cleggan Bay Crab, and more. A native to Provence, Pascal has a traditional approach to French Cooking and Cuisine. Having lived and worked in Connemara for the last 30 years, he has applied this approach to the regions favourite dishes, with wonderful results.
The West Coast of Ireland produces some of the finest seafood in the World. Our fish is selected by Connemara Fisheries when the boats land in Rossaveal, Cleggan or Galway. Our Mussels are grown on our doorstep by Killary Fjord Shellfish, our Lobster & Crab are harvested on the coast of Connemara, and our Oysters are cultivated in Streamstown by Dooncastle Oysters.
The vast terrain of Connemara and the green fields of the fertile midlands produce some of the tastiest meat in Europe; Our Lamb comes from the hills of Connemara, where the natural flora enhances the flavour, our Beef comes from the verdant pastures of Gilligan Farm in County Roscommon, and our Chicken is sourced from the Friendly Farmer who raises premium, free-range poultry on open pastures in Galway.
Beyond the culinary delights, immerse yourself in the charming landscapes of Connemara. Take advantage of our hotel’s prime location to explore the rugged beauty of the Wild Atlantic Way, pristine beaches, and vibrant local culture.
