Succulent and tender free-range beef and lamb raised on the sweet tastes of the Burren, and the creamiest of artisanal chocolate mousse or panna cotta. These are the tastes of Ballinalacken Castle Hotel – yours to savour and never forget, in our beautifully-appointed restaurant, the O’Brien Room.
Our restaurant is perfectly situated; close to Doolin, Lisdoonvarna and Kilfenora, with amazing view of Glaway Bay and the Aran Islands.
We serve a full breakfast each morning from 8.30 till 10.00.
Dinner is served each evening from 7.00 pm to 8.30 pm (the restaurant may close on Tuesdays)
Our restaurant is open to non-residents, but please be sure to book in advance.
Every meal at Ballinalacken is beautifully planned, prepared and perfected by our renowned resident chef Michael Foley – a true culinary, creative leader who has worked in many fine establishments and Ireland’s top kitchens. It’s fine dining – classic, simple and pure, combining the best of international tastes and flavours with surprising twists, and elegantly served. To complement your meal, we also offer an extensive wine list.
We use only the freshest ingredients, grown and produced on the Burren: wild and flavourful. Whether it’s wild smoked salmon, much-loved St Tola’s Goat’s Cheese, Clonakilty black pudding or the freshest of organic salad ingredients and hand-picked berries – all food can be traced back to a single source. We also make every effort to use ingredients that are in season which means our menus constantly change. We bake all our own bread, fresh each day.
Like every room in the Hotel, our Dining Room is spacious and has many windows, filling the space with beautiful natural light, bringing the outside in and creating a warm and inviting ambiance. As so many of our visitors have said – you won’t find a better view from any dining table in Ireland. Romantic, sumptuous and world’s away from the everyday – this is everything fine dining should be.
