A celebration of all that’s fresh, seasonal and local, celebrity chef Rachel Allen has picked the most imposing of dining-rooms for her latest venture, which uses organic fruit, veg and herbs from the Ballymaloe Cookery School farm. The Seafood Tasting Board comprising Market Fish Ceviche & Avocado, Ballycotton Smokey Fish Cake and Dublin Bay Prawn Scampi and Fennel Aioli is tremendous value at just €12.50. Enjoy a pre or après-dinner tipple in the Piano Bar whose Ichi-go Ichie-e blending of gin and Japanese tea sets new levels of moreishness. 

Best Dish: Free Range Pork Belly with Savoy Cabbage, Wholegrain Mustard Mashed Potato, Apple Puree & Stonewell Cider Sauce – €19.50
