An Investigative Analysis On Female Presence And Highly Ranked Positions In Professional Kitchens In Ireland, Roann Byrne
Dissertations
This study aims to gain an understanding of the state of the cheffing industry currently, to analyse whether there is a lack of women within the industry particularly in positions of high power. This research intends to understand the causes for the lack and showcase possible solutions and recommendations for this. It exists as a role of advocacy; hoping to inspire more people into the career of cheffing, and to retain women within it. It aspires to challenge and thus forth change the narratives that have pushed many people, particularly women, out of this work for so long. This research …

Solas Tapas & Wine Bar Menu 2020, Solas Tapas Wine Bar
Menus of the 21st Century
At Solas Tapas & Wine Bar the chef, Nick Foley, and front of house, Ann Connell, are serving Mediterranean-style small plates on the Dingle Peninsula. Our favourites include fennel marinated in Dingle gin with toasted almonds, mint, ricotta and sweet tomatoes, and squid stuffed with Annascaul black pudding and parsley butter. This casual spot doesn't discourage drop-in food enthusiasts, but reservations are wise on busy Dingle weekends, such as those for Feile na Bealtaine, Dingle Food Festival and Other Voices.

Mr Fox Restaurant Menu 2020, Mr Fox Restaurant
Menus of the 21st Century
There's a quiet confidence about Mr Fox - you're unlikely to hear them shouting about how great they are any time now - which makes the food an almost shockingly fantastic surprise when you get there. Every element on every plate has a reason for being there and the nostalgia-laden deserts, like the super split and the coffee iceberger, are a joyful way to end a meal.

Michael's Restaurant Menu 2020, Michael's Restaurant
Menus of the 21st Century
You can (just about) see the sea from Michael's; more importantly, you can taste it in a way that not many city restaurants manage. Generosity is the spirit here, from the beautifully cooked platters of the freshest fish and seafood glistening with butter to the chats with the customers on which the chef Gareth Smith (or Gas, as everyone knows him) lavishes the rest of his time. If you're a fish-or seafood-loving family, this is your place.

The Tannery Restaurant Menu 2020, The Tannery Restaurant
Menus of the 21st Century
The chef Paul Flynn and his wife, Maire, didn't invent the idea of a world-class restaurant in a small town. But they've been doing it for more than 20 years in Dungarvan, hosting cookery-school students, visiting celebrity chefs (who talk of memorable Downeys Bar experiences for years to come) and greenway explorers. The food is stellar- and what has also endured is the pride that they are doing this in their beloved hometown.

Inis Meain Restaurant & Suites Menu 2020, Inis Meain Restaurant & Suites
Menus of the 21st Century
It's one thing growing your own vegetables. It's another thing bringing the soil to grow them over to the island by boat and mulching it with seaweed in winter to keep your patch of precious fertility flourishing on a windswept rock. Inish Meain is a magical island, and this is a restaurant that does it enormous justice, serving food grown just outside the window or fished from a spot you can see on the extraordinary vista of ocean as you dine.

Pilgrim's Restaurant Menu 2020, Pilgrim's Restaurant
Menus of the 21st Century
"Did you have the spuds?" Regulars at Pilgrim's are evangelical about Mark Jennings's oak-smoked potatoes, with good reason. These bad boys are smoked and roasted, crushed open and then finished in a deep-fryer before being tossed in a balsamic glaze. Jennings and his partner, Sarah-Jane Pearce, opened their relaxed dining room in 2015 with a focus on the foraged, local and seasonal. The list of local suppliers displayed on the back of the menu is actually longer than the short but perfectly formed list of dishes, which changes constantly. Make the pilgrimage to Rosscarbery to experience this cooking in this …

Menus of the 21st Century
If you love Patrick Ryan and Laura Moore's bakery and cafe in Delgany, Co Wicklow, you should head to Heir Island, in west Co Cork, for a class at their renowned bakery school. If you don't fancy taking a boat to your sourdough (although it's less than five minutes by sea to Heir Island from mainland), the east-coast home of Firehouse Bakery serves up stunning sourdough, wood-fired-oven pizza, and divine cookies, cakes and pastries.

Menus of the 21st Century
Rolling dough on Middle Street since 2016, the Dough Brothers continues to serve up blisteringly good pizzas. the process is on view for all to see in the open-plan kitchen, where the wood-fired pizza oven takes centre stage.

Wine & Brine 2020, Wine And Brine
Menus of the 21st Century
Restaurants are canaries in the mine when it comes to chilly economic breezes, but, as we saw during the last crash, tough times can produce impressive cooking. As a restaurant in a small town over the Border, Wine & Brine has to work hard to provide value for local customers and attract visitors. This, as a certain guide might say, is a restaurant worth the trip.

Menus of the 21st Century
An Italian mother shephered this brilliant Stoneybatter restaurant into being in the depths of an Irish winter when she flew in with a suitcase of still grass stems for rolling the handmade fileja pasta. Robert Mungo's mother has gone home, but her stamp remains, and Grano has been the best addition to Stoneybatter since L Mulligan Grocer opened its door.

Menus of the 21st Century
As Limerick's reputation for good food continues to grow, the chef who brought his skill to the area, Wade Murphy, continues to do what he does best in this lovely roadside restaurant. The roof may be thatched but the methods are very much today, and Murphy is fanatical about local incredients and a great ambassador for Irish food.
Host Restaurant Menu 2020, Host Restaurant
Host Restaurant Menu 2020, Host Restaurant
Menus of the 21st Century
Host is like a chink of a much more cosmopolitan city shining through the suburban Dublin village of Ranelagh. They follow the winning neighbourhood formula of sharing plates, natural wine and sharply dressed staff, but the handmade pasta and general vibe that your wish is their command tip it over the edge. A Host in every neighbourhood would do much to alleviate the stresses of modern life.

Got a birthday coming up? Go to Etto. Anniversary? Etto. Want to cheer yourself up with a fantiastic lunch on a rainy Monday? Etto. Has a restaurant ever been as loved in Dublin before? It seems to be everyne's favourite (everyone who has eaten there anyway), and they rarely (ever?) put a foot wrong, with their seasonal, modern Italian/Irish menu, eclectic wine list and sunny staff.

Menus of the 21st Century
Barry Fitzgerald and Claire-Marie Thomas's neighbourhood bistro has been a cornerstone of the Dublin dining scene since opening, in 2015, and is a major part of the new wave of restaurants taking the capital up several notches on a globally recognised level. It's still as good as ever and not sitting still for a second. Sunday lunch here is the ultimate reward after a trying week.

The Legal Eagle Restaurant Menus 2020, Legal Eagle
Menus of the 21st Century
If only all pubs could grow up to be like this revamped veteran beside the Four Courts. The evolution of the Legal Eagle under the talented restaurateur Elaine Murphy put a dream list of Irish food, craft beer and cider, and gutsy flavours into the spotlight. There are toasties here and cote de boeuf for a spendy splurge, continuing Murphy's theme of unpretentious, always tasty Irish food.

Menus of the 21st Century
It's the small touches that I remember from a lovely meal in this Drogheda restaurant: creative, ambitious ideas like the smoked oyster mayonnaise for dipping pencil thin bread sticks baked in the sister Brown Hound bakery, next door. This is a restaurant that started out great and keeps getting better.

Menus of the 21st Century
Jess Murphy isn't the sort of chef who'll fire off an email to a supplier and wait for the boxes to arrive in the door. She's more likely to pull on her wellies, zip up her orange anorak and go down to the farm to see and taste it. If there were a Pulitzer prize for provenance, then the Irish Times cookery writer would be a contender. It's the starting point that makes the food in her Galway restaurant sing.

Menus of the 21st Century
Aoibheann McNamara is a bona fide trailblazer. Her team at Ard Bia, led by the restaurant's manager, Amelia Colleran, take inspiration from McNamara's love of travel and slow food when it comes to their menu. Vegans will love their vegan breakfast and daily vegan stew of the day; nonvegans will love Middle Eastern and Mediterranean inspired dishes featuring the best of Irish ingredients, such as Gubbeen cheese, Hegarty cheddar, Colleran's ham, Burren Smokehouse salmon and Galway goat's yogurt. Even after nearly two decades of serving food in Galway, the Ard Bia family still have their finger firmly on the pulse.

Menus of the 21st Century
The buzz of conversation as you walk up the stairs into this first floor cafe is the sound of summer. A trip (or several) to Pudding Row has become an unmissable part of family stays in Sligo. A perfect day involves wrestling a surfboard in Inniscrone for a couple of hours and then heading over to Easkey rubbery-kneed with the hunger, to tuck into Dervla James's cooking. I'm already planning this year's visit.

Ubh Cafe Menu 2020, Ubh Cafe
Menus of the 21st Century
Having paid her dues working in fine dining, the pastry chef Emma Spain decided to rediscover her passion for a simpler approach to cooking by opening Ubh, in early 2017. Her partner, Shane Byrne, roasts the coffee while their team of cooks, baristas and floor staff work with Spain to design a menu that changes every other week. On the roster are Dunlavin Dairy milk, Gubbeen cheese and chorizo, Toons Bridge ricotta, Garryhinch Wood mushrooms, local egg supplier Chick O'Loughlin (best name ever for an egg supplier?) and local Polish bread baker Richard Kamola. Regulars are obsessed with their mushrooms …

Ox Restaurant Menu 2020, Ox Restaurant
Menus of the 21st Century
Chefs still get in a spin about fine dining in Ireland, try too hard, throw too many things into Squeezy bottles and get so stressed about it all that you can nearly taste the hydrocortisone on the plate. Stephen Toman knew exactly what he wanted to do in Ox when he opened it with the king of front of house Alain Kerloc'h six years ago. The aim was to keep getting better. And it has. Ox is wonderful.
Canteen Celbridge Restaurant Menu 2020, Canteen Restaurant
Canteen Celbridge Restaurant Menu 2020, Canteen Restaurant
Menus of the 21st Century
Some chefs still think "posh" food must involve ingredients from high on the hog, the fois-gras-and-fillet-of-beef school of cooking where it feels like an algorithm set to bling has composed the menu. James Sheridan's menus are always interesting and personal, not in a whacky fashion, but in a "here's a chef who's thinking" sort of way. Sheridan's partner, Soizic Humbert, brings total professionalism to front of house. They're a great team, and this is a great restaurant.

Variety Jones Restaurant Menu 2020, Variety Jones
Menus of the 21st Century
We are barely two generations removed from people who learned instinctively how to cook over fire, the predominant method of most Irish households. Knowing how fire works is a central plank of Variety Jones, a wonderful addition to Thomas Street in Dublin. The fire became central almost accidentally when Keelan and Aaron Higgs, who are brothers, couldn't get their gas hob connected. Now it's a crucial part of the wonderful cooking that's happening here.

Gertrude Restaurant Menu 2020, Gertrude Restaurant
Menus of the 21st Century
The first proper restaurant from the 3fe coffee roastery was planned with children (and their food - and wine-loving parents) very much in mind. The spacious interior is buggy friendly and has high chairs aplenty as well as a comfortable nappy-changing facility. Even better than all of that is that children aren't condemned to chicken nuggets and chips. Half-portions of everything on the adult menu are available at half-price, and there's a simplified menu, with beans on toast and pancakes, in case your mini-me doesn't feel up to the pork tonkatsu sandwich or the duck buns - but why wouldn't …

Overends Kitchen Menu 2020, Overends Kitchen
Menus of the 21st Century
Children get excited about food in a way that more jaded adults sometimes miss out. Airfield is a working model farm where warm eggs can be collected and milking watched, food grown, or mooing within earshot of this lovely cafe. The food in Overends Kitchen is as impressive as the farm. Sunday lunch is a particular favourite, and the Woolapalooza Festival gets better every year.

Menus of the 21st Century
J.P. McMahon (an Irish Times contributor) has created a cool, unpretentious room where great flavours in wine and food can be enjoyed without having to pull up a table and tuck your knees under a white tablecloth. It's a sign of how far we've come that cooking of the standard the Tartare team maintain can be served in a relaxed bar setting. Deliciousness does not have to come with a side order of formality.

Menus of the 21st Century
If Vanessa and Anna, the owners, had their way, there would be no seats in their restaurant, just a bar, and a sawdust-covered floor, where delicious small plates are casually served alongside fino and wine. Their Irish customers wanted sit-down dining, so they complied. The welcome is as large as the manu. They serve all the best tapas without the step count that would be clocked up to eat like this on a tapas strip in Spain.

Menus of the 21st Century
Once this small-town pub got it's fame from a Saw Doctors song. Now it's known for the cooking of Steven Lane, the grandson of the original owner. Stevie and his wife, Amanda Fahy (who met working in the bar), turned the lights back on in Brownes in 2016, with a shoestring refurbishment to allow them to put all the fun into the food, bringing sweetness back into the sugar town that is Tuam.
