The Menu: Baltimore

Fine food fare at the fiddle festival

The Menu believes in feeding soul every bit as much as body and classes any opportunity to combine both as wondrous indeed — to do so in beautiful Baltimore in West Cork at the world-renowned Baltimore Fiddle Fair (www.fiddlefair.com) is heaven in the extreme. Next weekend sees the 21st festival (May 9-12) return with a very fine musical menu of local, national and international talent, matched by some equally fine food opportunities including a pre-concert barbecue every evening at the very lovely Glebe House (www.glebegardens.com) and a pre-concert dinner available from 5pm at Rolf’s (rolfscountryhouse.com). Actually, you’d be hard-pressed to avoid a bit of decent seafood almost anywhere in the gorgeous little harbour town!
