Overlooking the sea, The 1780 Restaurant at the Portmarnock Hotel is the perfect stage for Chef Tom Walsh to showcase his cuisine with an array of innovative dishes crafted using the finest local and seasonal ingredients – a style of cooking that recently earned the restaurant a prestigious 2 AA Rosettes for culinary excellence.
The award comes after the luxurious coastal resort was officially unveiled earlier following an extensive 18-month refurbishment and multi-million euro investment.
The menus that Walsh has created carefully demonstrates his exceptional skill in the kitchen and his appreciation for top quality, local produce. Attention to detail and precision in crafting exceptional dishes, both judging criteria of AA Rosette inspectors, shine through in the diverse menus served at the restaurant.
To celebrate being awarded 2 AA Rosettes, The 1780 Restaurant are offering you the chance to experience the magic of chef Tom Walsh’s cooking for yourself, with a 5 course dinner for two for just €70.
