One of Ireland's most highly regarded chefs, Wade Murphy continues to wow diners at this art-lined 1826-built thatched cottage. His passion for local seasonal produce is an essential ingredient in dishes such as pan-seared halibut with Connemara clams and pickled samphire. A three-course early-bird menu (€36) is served daily until 7pm.
