The Barton Rooms Restaurant at Barberstown Castle, relaunched last March, with a six-course dining experience has won the Good Food Ireland award for hotel dining.
Executive Head Chef Pablo Bernardo and Executive Sous Chef Jeferson Silvestre curated modern contemporary cuisine with a French accent. The restaurant in the original dining room of the Main House paid homage to Mr. Hugh Barton who constructed the wing in the 1830s.
Guests at the event enjoyed lobster mousse with pickled daikon, parsley aioli and red sorrel as the first course. The menu concluded with elderflower and gin-infused rhubarb and a dark chocolate mousse with coffee and white chocolate.
Pablo Bernardo shared “At The Barton Rooms, dining is more than just a meal, it’s a time for sharing special moments and creating unforgettable memories through culinary mastery. Our dishes are crafted from the finest local ingredients, with each plate thoughtfully designed to engage your senses and stir your emotions. Dining with us means embarking on a new journey that goes beyond the ordinary. Every course has a story to tell, every aroma evokes a memory, and every flavor whispers of our chef’s dedication.”
