About the kitchen
We opened in 2019 with one grill and a blackboard. The blackboard is still there. Chef Aoife Byrne cooks what arrives that morning, which is why the menu online is a guide rather than a promise — and why regulars ask for the specials before they sit down.
Menu
Secondi
- Cooley lamb, wild garlic, burnt onion€29.00
Shoulder cooked eight hours over ash, served with last week's garlic ferment.
- Day-boat hake, mussels, sea herbs€27.00
Whatever came in that morning, grilled whole where it's big enough.
Antipasti
- Clogherhead crab, brown butter, soda€16.00
Hand-picked crab, cultured butter, our own treacle soda bread.

Three-year-old potatoes baked in salt, smoked cream from the fire, plenty of chive.
Dolci

What sets The Long Room Kitchen apart
Everything by the glass on Wednesdays
Sixty-odd bottles on the list, all of them pourable mid-week, so you can drink a Jura without committing to the whole thing.
Tables held for walk-ins
Six seats at the counter are never bookable. Turn up at six, you'll usually eat.
