It takes some doing for a restaurant to stand out when it’s in a hotel as beautiful as this. Ballyfin Demesne is a spectacular, lovingly restored Regency-era manor house that screams luxury at every turn. The opulence continues into the dining room, where the chefs serve fittingly impressive dishes. Broths, purées and sauces are a real highlight and underline the technical skill of the kitchen team, be it a rich, glossy reduction or a roasted onion consommé with bags of flavour. Charming and attentive service completes the rather special picture.

There’s an endearing quality to this characterful restaurant run by a young, friendly team and set inside a former garage and shop. The cooking champions the County Laois larder and other Irish produce, in satisfying dishes with tried-and-tested flavour combinations. At dinner, choose from the concise à la carte or sample the kitchen’s full range of talents with the 7 course tasting menu. Lunchtime is a slightly simpler affair and features daily specials.
