The gourmet restaurant onsite is the star attraction. The House has six lovely rooms and don't forget to visit the Secret Garden. Your host, Mary, is the picture of hospitality and her husband Ronan is head chef. Nearby is tent camping for 100 but they don't intrude on the serenity of the house. A perfect midpoint to your Irish Journey.

There are two prix-fixe menus to choose from: one about €22 and the other €33. I chose from the…read more€33 menu: potato skins with cheese and bacon (this was so so); 12 oz sirloin steak (very good) with mash and veg (average); and French lemon tart (YUMMY). My partner got the deep fried brie with salad, crispy duck and chocolate caramel cake (he ordered better than I did!). Everything was tasty but the desserts were definitely the highlight. The lemon tart I had was better than any other I'd had before. It also came with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. I was stuffed at the end of the meal. The portions are quite big. I'd definitely come back. The setting is lovely (exposed brick, wooden floors, candles) against the backdrop of the green countryside. Definitely come for a meal if you are in the area.

Our group of 6 all had something different including steak, pork belly, chicken, duck, cod , mussels with a multitude of sides.

We met the chef/owner and had a great chat about the amazing things he is doing. Every part of the meal was spectacular. Ingredients, preparation and presentation were all stellar and it was the best meal of our trip which started in Cork, stretched through many Tipperary towns and villages and ended in Dublin. If you are in the Cashel area, do yourself a favor and spend an evening at O'Neill's Bistro. This is not to be confused with O'Neill's restaurant in Cashel.

The kicker though were those little croutons floating on top. That brown bread actually got better. I wish I had more. They also make fresh desserts there and I broke down and had a toffee banana tart with fresh whipped cream. Wow. I ate it in small pieces to extend the savoring experience. There are also roulades and other tasty looking fresh desserts and the breakfasts people were eating looked great!

I was able to make a reservation via Facebook a week in advance as I was traveling internationally. It was busy for a Wednesday night but if you went on the early side 1700-1830, you could likely get seated without. The service was great, you order your starters and main course in a waiting/bar area and they take you in when your table is ready. The bread comes with a beetroot spread which is delicious! I ordered a pulled pork/mushroom ravioli as a started. It was delicious--the flavors were amazing and it might be the best dish I've ever eaten. After, I had the duck, served well done. It came with a thyme gravy, cherries, butternut purée, and vegs--wow! Served with a side of potatoes but I just sampled them because the dish was plenty. Wanted to order dessert but was too full. Overall a great meal and service. The location in downtown Cashel is wonderful and the old church, a beautiful setting.

I've been to the 4 corners of Ireland on this trip, spending two weeks. Of all the places I have…read moretried, this place was by far the best. Professional and courteous staff, great setup with a great (but a little too concise of a selection) bar as a waiting room, and the food is amazing. The prices are reasonable for such a great restaurant which I was not expecting, being a previously listed Michelin star restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Cashel, and is worth driving out of the way to visit. The restaurant is also in an excellent location, within walking distance of the Rock of Cashel, and several nice local bars. As someone who makes a point to always going to new places when traveling, this is one place I would be more than happy to visit again.
