Upper room with high class cuisine

Over the course of The Menu’s career as a professional stove-jockey many moons ago, the apex of his career remains a prolonged spell as apprentice to sorcerer Seamus O’Connell of the Ivory Tower.

He's one of the finest chefs to have ever practiced on the Oul’ Sod and a tremendous teacher to your humble scribe. O’Connell remains an outlier, forging his own path away from the mainstream, a true culinary innovator and you can be sure whatever oddball experiments he may be currently conducting in his ‘laboratory’ will be the stuff of trends in years to come. No self-respecting Gael can truly claim to be a devotee of the nosebag until they have dined at least once in that renowned upper room overlooking Oliver Plunkett St. (www.ivorytower.ie) The next edition of the Bia Sásta’s Critic’s Night takes place in O’Connell’s Ivory Tower (March 13) with seats filling fast. http://biasasta.blogspot.ie
