Sandstone Restaurant

No tour of the magnificent Lough Rynn Castle Estate would be complete without the fine dining experience offered at the award-winning Sandstone Restaurant. With research and tasting of local produce, head chef Jean Michel Chevet has created a unique selection of menus which use local suppliers in Co. Leitrim and surrounding areas. Fine wines selected from France, Italy, and Spain complement the chef's delectable starters and main courses.

Nestled within the heart of the castle, the Sandstone incorporates old-world elegance and Victorian grace with a state of the art kitchen facility and charming decor. Crisp linen tablecloths and napkins, fine porcelain dinnerware, exquisite crystal stemware, and softly glowing candles create a perfect ambiance, elegant yet comfortably casual.

Three-course dinners, including appetizing starters (creamed cauliflower or red pepper and tomato soup), delicious main meals (like Braised Beef Bourguignon or Seafood Linguini Pasta), and delectably dazzling desserts (like Glazed Lemon Tart with raspberry sorbet or Warm Sticky Toffee Pudding with vanilla ice cream) make this dining experience unforgettable.

Also available is a bar menu with grilled sandwiches, fresh salads, hearty soups, or warm scones.
