Restaurant review: Mulcahy's restaurant, Kenmare, Co Kerry

Chef/proprietor Bruce Mulcahy makes splendid use of the local catch to offer some stunning seafood, says Joe McNamee.

KENMARE (Neidín) and I have history, beginning in the ’80s at Cibeal Cincise, a mighty little arts festival that provided us younger philistines with cultural cover for industrial-strength carousing.

Rugged survivalist types might have had actual tents but most of us bunked in Galileo’s ‘Starry Chamber’, trusting celestial sprinklers to hold off ’til morn, when we would breakfast on day-old batch loaf and Calvita, no more cutlery or ware to hand than furry teeth and grubby paws.
