Description

Located in a charming coastal town known for its colourful buildings, Solas is the home of a harmonious marriage between Irish produce and Spanish cooking. Chef-Owner Nicky Foley is a larger-than-life character whose travels in Spain inform the menu, which offers a range of dishes true to the Spanish originals whilst incorporating local ingredients and adding a few subtle twists. There’s a pleasing simplicity here, to both the sensibly priced food and the rustic décor, which combine well with the friendly, welcoming service.
