The Oak Room

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

This restaurant inside the impressive Adare Manor hotel has all the grandeur you would expect, with wood-panelled walls, lavish chandeliers and a glass-enclosed terrace with views over the 850-acre grounds. It's a fittingly formal experience, with a tasting menu at its heart that shows off the best quality produce around, along with some decadent touches – the result is dishes like glistening turbot cooked on the bone in a punchy mussel and saffron sauce, finished with a scoop of caviar. The wine list is a labour of love and offers a superb range by the glass.

1826 Adare

Modern Cuisine

€€

This pretty little cottage feels right at home in Adare, a picture-postcard village with brightly painted shops and rows of thatched roofs. Inside, there's a cosy, characterful feel to the place, which is run with warmth and confidence by an experienced couple. The interesting, attractively presented dishes proudly spotlight fine Irish produce like Dooncastle oysters and the famous Skeaghanore duck from West Cork; the black sole served on the bone is a real crowd-pleaser. On Sundays, a 'late lunch' menu offers good value for money.

Start with an aperitif in the drawing room of this whitewashed Palladian-style house, which sits within grounds of The University of Limerick. There's an old-fashioned feel to the place, with the grand dining room boasting ornate plasterwork, Corinthian pillars and an impressive art collection. Beautifully presented dishes have a sophisticated feel, courtesy of quality produce and a deft touch.
