Tipperary: Chez Hans
The dining room at Chez Hans, Cashel, Co Tipperary dining room is a wonderful combination of the grand and the intimate, the braggadocio and the subtle. The food is, well, perfect. Picture: John D Kelly
THE Rock of Cashel is, like so many other European treasures, corseted by a cowl of scaffold as craftsmen try to renew the regal work of their predecessors, some of it from a millennium ago. They may be restoring restorations or even restoring restorations of restorations, undertaken since the 12th century round tower, high cross and Romanesque chapel, 13th century Gothic cathedral, 15th century castle and the restored Hall of the Vicars Choral were added to the mid Middle Ages’ complex.
