@LimerickStrand and The River Restaurant has been awarded Bord Bia’s Just Ask! Restaurant of the Month for August. In receiving the award the restaurant which is open to guests of the hotel and general public, is being acknowledged for its commitment to sourcing ingredients locally. Since taking the helm, executive Chef Tom Flavin has worked hard to make food provenance and seasonality a point of difference throughout the hotel and especially in The River Restaurant.
Commenting on the win Tom Flavin said, “Our menu reflects a passion for high quality locally grown produce. We partner with local farms and dairies wherever possible to source the finest fresh ingredients. All of our fresh meat and poultry is 100% Irish and traceable. We proudly display this on our menu along with the names of all our other suppliers”.
The team at The River Restaurant have also introduced a new and inspiring homemade pantry range called The Secret Ingredient, allowing diners to bring home a taste of Limerick. Products in the range include Classic Caesar Dressing, Chicken Liver parfait, and homemade jams.
Georgina Campbell said, “There are many hotels around the country where chef and management have worked together to create a point of difference that attracts diners, but this is especially hard to achieve for large hotels in cities where the choice is so wide and for this reason, we take our hats off to Tom Flavin.”
