LIGИUM

Restaurant in Galway, Ireland

3 reviews
Five Star Recommended

Property Overview

Lignum is based in Bullaun in Co. Galway showcases the ancient method of cooking over an open flame allowing for its creative name as Lignum is Latin for wood. Lignum puts local produce and creative menus at its forefront - although they have a 'larder' section of ingredients that feature in their dishes, the menu is always evolving and diversifying based on the seasons. The dining room sticks with the wooden theme with bare wooden tables and exposed barn walls providing the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed fine dining experience without the frills.

Type of Cuisine: Creative / Barbeque

What can I say? This restaurant is a whole experience as soon as you walk in the door. From sedate interiors to absolutely and utterly delicious food that explodes like a rainbow of taste on the pallet. I highly recommend this restaurant though I believe it should be named Lignummy num.

Fantastic experience, the setting is so good , blending in with nature . Locally sourced ingredients and the farm they get their vegetables is where I get them too , just a mile from them . Very carbon neutral , eco friendly . The service is fantastic. The food is full of flavour and distinctive. Each course complements the other . They have a fantastic wine list. The beer from the Donegal Brewery Kinnegar is one of my favourites. It felt like I was in Scandinavia with the rich and warm wood floors , walls panelling and tables . Good quality plates and cutlery too. The pastry chef is fantastic. They do a lot of in-house fermenting, pickling and culturing and it shows in the taste and texture. They grow a myriad of herbs in their garden and you can watch them harvest the herbs just before the meal is prepared. I attended Noma one of the best restaurants in the world in Copenhagen some years ago and it was fantastic, I felt the same pleasure here . Very vegetarian friendly too , except for vegan all food preferences are catered for . I would be back again for sure
