Larkins Bar & Restaurant

Garrykennedy, Portroe, Nenagh, Co Tipperary.

It’s worth making the drive out from Nenagh to Garrykennedy to visit this picturesque little pub on the banks of Lough Derg. The village location is as typical and idyllic an Irish scene as any you’ll see. Larkin’s, owned by Cormac and Maura Boyle, is over 300 years old and just the sort of country pub you want to find when you come to Ireland. Sadly, not many remain, making this place one of those rare gems serving the must delicious and wholesome grub you will find.

Lemon Tree Café (The)

Dunmore East, Co Waterford.

The Lemon Tree Café, run by chef Joan Power, is a charming seaside café perched above the picturesque village of Dunmore East serving delicious homemade food produced from local ingredients. Joan’s cooking skills were gained as a child, at the elbow of her mum in the family hotel. Like the setting, the food is delightfully casual, counters packed with salads on one side, desserts and pastries on the other, and take away cabinets which provide Joan’s homemade frozen or chilled ready meals for the time-pushed, or self catering holidaymakers.
