During our 3 weeks vacation in Ireland last June of this year, 2022, some relatives of my wife treated us for a dinner at the Clashganny House Restaurant near Borris, County Carlow.

Read moreOk, have to declare that our local family have had girlfriends working there in the past, but you just can't beat an owner run restaurant for quality. Great menu and service. Real quality food. Not for snacks or fast food. This is proper real chef food. Had calamari followed by the beef on Sunday myself, wrapped up wet Sticky Toffee pud. No complaints. My brother-in-law had the seabass wet risotto, which I personally thought was a smallish portion, but he seemed quite happy with his choice. Never been...
