We grow our own vegetables, salads, herbs and fruit in our greenhouse and gardens outside the restaurant which guests are welcome to explore. Our shellfish is caught around the coast of the island. We only serve wild Atlantic fish and homestead-reared meat. All of the ingredients we get from the island are prime ingredients. We place equal importance on the salads grown in our greenhouse as we do the lobster landed on the island pier.
The availability of quality produce, both wild and cultivated on the island is entirely dependent on weather, seasonality and practicality, however each year we aim to develop our knowledge and skills to cultivate, harvest and preserve more island food.
We purchased an island farm in late 2019. We are currently caring for 100 acres of Inis Meáin's unique landscape and we now breed cows and keep Irish native bees on the farm to sustain the special island biodiversity and to give us more of our own produce for the restaurant.
In 2021 we were 1 of only 3 restaurants in Ireland to gain the first ever Michelin Green Star, to highlight our commitment to cultivating our own food and supporting the islands' ecology and small community.
