allta restaurant and seafood bar

allta na farraige - cocktail and seafood bar

only irish only independent. that's our cocktail philosophy, using only spirits made in ireland by the finest independent artisans that are reigniting and reimagining our island's ancient tradition of distilling. served alongside a tapas style seafood menu that is cooked in front of you and inspired by our chef's favourite seafood dishes and flavours from around the world using mainly irish wild seafood.

allta restaurant - the final allta menu

seven years ago I moved back to ireland with a question, not a business plan, not a concept or strategy just a simple question I kept asking myself during my years of travelling and cooking around the world.

what if i built an irish restaurant? what would it look like, how would it feel, where would it be?

at the time I didn’t know where that question would lead me. i definitely didn’t think it would take me through four homes, countless menus, thousands of services and some of the most extraordinary people I have had the privilege of working alongside.

my lasting memories and moments I will cherish were not the accolades but the journey. loading vans in the rain, late night menu discussions, conversation on fishing boats, truly connecting with like-minded people made the monumental challenges I put on myself so much easier and enjoyable and working side by side with my wife for the last 5 years of this journey has been a dream come true.

every chapter of allta has defined me, every challenge has made me stronger and every single moment cooking alongside my team has shaped me into a better chef.

but now after seven years it's time to ask myself a new question.

so we will be finishing allta and this chapter of my life on the 31st December. our final menu will be a celebration of 7 years of allta over 7 courses. bookings are now open from the 1st of July to the 30th of december and I’d would love to cook for you all one last time as head chef of allta.
