Exquisite, I will be back.
From the delicious pot of tea, with homemade biscuits, on arrival, to the final breakfast...this was the ultimate 3 day laethanta-here-a. The stay and dining experience will sustain me for the winter ahead...and I'm here contemplating another trip before the season ends. All the public areas and my bedroom were immaculate and I felt so comfortable and safe. Nothing was left to chance. & now to the dining. This is the best food in Co Clare, with the best chef, who knows his ingredients, and never 'gilds the lily" He lets the ingredients sing, and never feels the need to add extraneous garnishes, gimmicks, daubs or flowers from the garden. Every thing on the plate should be on the plate...for a reason. Viz...the humble egg. I had a perfectly poached egg, on a crisp disc of toast for breakfast...that tasted of a freshly laid, free range egg. As it should...nothing to distract from the superb flavour. Also on the breakfast menu is the most amazing pillowy soft omelette, with mackerel, a triumph. & staying on the theme of the humble egg...I had a heavenly creme brulée with dinner, accompanied by a tart/sour apple sorbet...zinging with flavour....the perfect end to a delicious lamb main course. This chef treats his ingredients with care and restraint. Less is more. Others please note
Thank you to all at the Wild Honey Inn for a wonderful break. I will be back.
