Plus: "a jar of 100% Raw Irish Honey from Ballinora Bees was akin to uncorking a draught of pure summer on a decidedly dark and miserable winter’s day"

Ballydehob's Restaurant Chestnut: a cracker

Cracking a new Chestnut

When The Menu fancies spending a little time in heaven, a longtime favourite is Restaurant Chestnut, in Ballydehob, where chef-proprietor, Rob Krawczyk, and his partner/co-proprietor, Elaine Fleming (front of house), create one of the more ethereal explorations of hyper-locavore West Cork produce with textures and flavours that dance across the tongue like a chorus line of angels — in other words, an exquisite and sublime blend of the salaciously sacred.
