A trip to Ballymore

Hidden down in North Kildare, a lovely drive along the N81, lies until recently, the little known village of Ballymore Eustace. Behind an unassuming entrance is the beautiful room of the Ballymore Inn. This is a real central hub of North Kildare; where the Ladies who lunch and the movers and shakers within the racing industry come to discuss horses, cars, holidays to South Africa, and the latest investment. However, despite this added glamour, the restauarant has a lovely feel and is extremely fortunate to have a great front and back of house team. Open for lunch and dinner seven days, this a spot that you must visit. Soup of the day is made using the best ingredients and is always served with fresh bread and a wonderful pesto cumin dipping oil. Starters are a choice of generous fresh salads and pates with mouthwatering homemade relishes. Main courses are traditional fare with a modern twist.Lamb and Steak is a must have, all served with a choice of the Ballymore fries or some seriously good champ. Catch of the day, is simply cooked, often with a butter sauce. A great place to people watch, eavesdrop and above all to have a most enjoyable evening out for a reasonable price!
