The potato was the staple of the Irish diet when the tragedy of the potato famine struck the country. In 1845, the potato crop was wiped out by a blight and an estimated one million Irish died of disease and starvation. Many more were forced to emigrate to the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries to escape starvation.

Ireland has, over many years, recovered and grown to the vibrant country you see today. Potatoes are still a staple, along with bread, meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, fruits and vegetables.

Traditional recipes for Irish food are still prepared throughout the world and have been included in modern menu selections.

Fine wines are served as well as the pint of Guinness. You will find whatever you are hungry and thirsty for.
