Since the restaurant opened last March under head chef Angelo Vagiotis, diners have also been treated to stunning views over the estate’s golf course and Lough Corrib. The Michelin Guide describes it as a gastronomic experience that will make memories, showcasing the best of Irish produce in beautifully balanced dishes such as wild turbot with Oscietra caviar and a champagne and vanilla sauce.
The restaurant’s service was also praised by the awards body as “delicious, unpalatable and attentive”.
The tasting menu, which costs €130 per person, also includes venison from The Burren, served with preserved berries and kampot pepper, mandarin sorbet and rhubarb wine gum, presented with dark chocolate sorrel.
A recent guest described their birthday celebration at The Pullman as a “fantastic evening” and called the tasting menu, which is accompanied by selected wines, “sublime”.
“The staff was engaged, knowledgeable and polite,” they wrote on TripAdvisor. “It was a magical experience and we will go there again.
‘Too bad they couldn’t make the carriages rock a little to give the effect that the carriages were actually moving!’
Monday’s ceremony marked the first time the Michelin Guide has been unveiled in Ireland, with international director Gwendal Poullennec describing it as a “true historic event for Irish hospitality”.
He added that the “landmark” event recognized “not only the exceptional cuisine, but also the people, places and passion that define Irish food, culture and hospitality”.
