Table Forty One — Restaurant in The Municipal District of Gorey — Kilmuckridge

Just had a very nice meal here.We haven't been in for a good while due to covid restrictions etc. This place is well run and proper distancing and spacing of tables was adhered to. Tables were sanitized after each use and we felt comfortable eating out here and did not feel we were at risk, or more importantly, putting others at risk. Unfortunately we did not feel that way in some gastro bars we visited for food during the covid crisis, so we now prefer actual restaurants for our very occasional foray from the house during these restrictive times. The menu was reasonably priced for the standard of cuisine on offer. Interesting Table d'hote set menu of 4 choices for each coarse, with any 2 courses for €28.50 or all 3 for €37 if my memory serves me well. A choice of steaks were also available with an extra supplement . Nice balanced selection of wines including old favourites like Merlot and a crowd pleasing sauvignon blanc. The wine list was priced fairly and house wines were sold by the glass or the bottle. Nice starters included a sweet onion tartlet of shortcrust with goats cheese and crispy kale and we also had a nice prawn dish, tempura like, in a light batter with a complimenting base of red cabbage for a contrast followed by a tasty confit of duck leg for my entrèe. Nice coffee here also and although tempted by the cheeseboard, we shared a chocolate dessert between us as we didn't want to feel too full . I personally would have requested the panacotta, but my infinite wisdom has taught me not to get in the way of a woman wanting chocolate. Table 41 is well worth a visit if you like good food, cooked and served by people that know what...

We were worried before we went that it would be very stuffy pretentious fine dining, but the chef Andrew Duncan is spot on in his description on the restaurants website where he describes it as "fine dining without the pretentiousness". We felt completely comfortable and the staff were friendly and their service excellent. The two-courses for €29.50 is a great value deal for the amazing food you get, the Michelin "bib gourmand" is well deserved and we're excited to go back next time we visit Gorey.

Myself and my partner were able to get a last minute reservation here for dinner at 9pm, the staff couldn't have been more helpful and got in touch to let us know earlier times became available if we wanted to go earlier.

Restaurant is small and cosy but laid out well to not feel on top of eachother and to maintain social distancing. We had high expectations when we overheard a couple finishing their meal saying it was the best food they ever had, and it did not disappoint! We had the spinach gnocci and cod with mussels, and these dishes were absolutely deliciously. They were presented gorgeously and the sauces on both meals were divine, we couldn't get enough! They also served delicious freshly cooked mini bread rolls, and carrots & potatoes alongside our mains which were so delicious.

We both finished our meals with the dark chocolate cake with ice cream and orange reduction, which were better than any chocolate cakes we had ever tasted, we couldn't put into words at the time how much we loved it!

Thank you to the waitors and Andrew for an...

I've given 1 star for the service, lovely waiter, we were a walk in, we did not have a reservation, we chose the restaurant based on reviews, we found the food tasteless, we both had the prawns to start, the taste of the cooking oil in the batter totally overpowered any other flavours, it tasted like over used cooking oil, the prawn starter was served in a small glass, like a prawn salad which I did not like, it was awkward to reach the slaw under the prawns. We had the duck and fish as our mains, again flavourless, the duck was cooked perfectly but the sause on the duck just tasted like dark soy sause. the fish was cooked perfectly but again no flavour, presentation was good. We had planned on desert, but with the disappointment of the starters and mains, we decided to...
