Michelin-starred tasting menus with local ingredients
"There's a relaxed yet professional feel to this sweet, intimate restaurant where the shelves are laden with wine, mead and all manner of jars full of produce marinating, curing or fermenting. Skeaghanore duck is among the County Cork produce championed on the constantly evolving tasting menu, where skilfully prepared dishes show a great understanding of textures and tastes, and are pleasingly understated in their pure, natural flavours. Smaller growers are present in the wine pairings, while they make their own juices and cordials for the non-alcoholic option." - Michelin Inspector
"In the coastal West Cork village of Ballydehob, lies this wonderful restaurant where a shorter version of their tasting menu offers one of the cheapest Michelin Star dinners in Ireland. It’s a very likeable place, with charming service and well-matched wine flights enhancing the overall experience. The cooking itself is full of flavour, with nicely balanced combinations and quality ingredients cooked with supreme skill. 4 Courses, Weds-Fri Dinner – €70" - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Chef-owner of Michelin-Starred Restaurant Chestnut, Rob Krawczyk is running morning and evening cookery classes once a week: casual online cooking experience ‘Sticks & Twigs’ enables a pair of budding chefs to prepare and cook a three course meal, whilst being guided through each step by Rob, who cooks along live in the restaurant kitchen. Rob is also continuing to offer a three course meal for two to takeaway, called ‘Sticks & Twigs to Go’ and the restaurant is open for dinner four days a week." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

"Son of famous charcutier, Frank, Rob Krawczyk grew up in Schull, West Cork. Having travelled the world, Rob returned to his roots, knowing that he could rely on the area’s suppliers for the quality produce he needed to cook his understated style of dishes with their focus on pure, natural flavours.
