Fodor's Expert Review The Greenhouse

The elegant dining room of this Michelin-starred restaurant is a touch posh, with turquoise velvet seats and white tablecloths, but the food of one of Ireland's hottest and most creative chefs, County Clare man Mikael Viljanen, deserves its stage. The four-course, fixed-price menu is proud of its French influences, but constantly surprises with starters like a whipped foie gras topped with Granny Smith apple gel, walnut, and smoked eel. For a main try the sole with miso, cauliflower, roasted yeast, and winter truffle. The rhubarb blancmange with ginger is a thrilling dessert. The lunch menu is surprisingly good value.
