The menu champions artisan food producers, with Executive Chef Ed Cooney's cooking bringing flavour to the fore. Sharing is encouraged, with a menu of small plates to choose from – think Liscannor Crab brioche baps, smoked carrot blunts and truffle & parmesan arancini – while fresh Irish sourdough will be made in-house every morning.
