As a seasoned foodie, I've had the pleasure of sampling some of the finest cuisine from around the world. But let me tell you, this small local restaurant One Hundred Degrees, blew me away with their exquisite menu and exceptional service. We have been five times now.
From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and seated at a cozy table. The wine menu was impressive, featuring a variety of reds, whites, and rosés from around the world. I opted for the Pinot Noir after the staff recommended, and it was a perfect complement to the flavors of my meal.
Speaking of the meal, the flavors were absolutely lovely. Each dish was bursting with flavor and made with fresh, local, high-quality ingredients. The appetizers were a standout - I highly recommend the soups (we had vegetable and the other time it was tomato).
For my main course, I went with the lamb shank, which was cooked to perfection and served with a delightful sauce. My partner had the steak, which was cooked just how she likes it and seasoned beautifully. Even though we were full, we did opt for the desserts and were not disappointed. The caramel cremeaux and the chocolate fondant, both served with ice cream were perfect.
But what really stood out to me was the exceptional service. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings, and they went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable dining experience.
Overall, One Hundred Degrees is a gem of a restaurant that should not be missed. The wine menu, lovely flavors, and exceptional service make it a must-visit for any foodie in the Gorey area. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I would be shocked if there isn't a Michelin Star...

Read moreA fantastic meal. We had our starter, main and dessert as hard to resist. Starter we had Baji, Venison, seafood soup, portion was quite big, I thought. We funished every bit of it. Main we had, steak, beef cheek and fish, also amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection even vegetables! We ordered two desserts to share between 3 people, chocolate mousse and sticky toffee pudding, none left on the plates.
We don't drink we only ordered soft drinks.
The best restaurant meal we had in a long time, as my husband said to one of the waiters (the previous amazing meal would be at Ballymaloe, so you get the picture)
The restaurant was quite busy, we went their quite early at 5pm, started to fill up around 6pm.
One of not many restaurants in the country where they actually care about their creations and service. Well done.
Worth every penny we spent their and we will definitely go...
