ely restaurants food provenance- We care about local, seasonal food.

1. Devised by chefs.
Delicious for kids.
Perfect for grown-ups.
Yum.

2. When we sat down with our head chef, Ryan Stringer,
to design a kids menu, he came up with a pretty good idea.
“Why not offer kids the same menu as we offer mums and dads.
Just halve the portions and charge half the price.”
The logic was simple:
“The food’s locally sourced, fresh and delicious, and a half portion
means happy faces and empty plates.”
The meeting lasted, oh, about three minutes.

3. Sourced in the Burren.
Farmed only for us.
Aged to perfection.
Pasture to plate.

4. The very best organic dry-aged beef is hand reared
on our family farm in The Burren, Co. Clare.
So is the organic pork on our menus.
We have our neighbours, Cheril & Patrick McCormac,
to thank for our organic ‘Craggy Island’ lamb, and our superb,
non-organic dry-aged beef comes from Trim, Co. Meath -
take a bow Danny Coogan.
Using local produce, supporting local farmers and minimising
our carbon footprint.
Fresh from pasture to plate.

5. Sourced locally.
Planted seasonally.
Grown to order.
Farm to plate.

6. We know what you’ll be eating this season.
Matthew Carrick, second generation market gardener,
sources all of our local fruit and vegetables, ensuring the freshest
of seasonal Irish produce. Grown in north County Dublin,
within shouting distance of our three restaurants,
Matthew makes sure the fruits and vegetables we require
are planted in sync with nature and picked fresh
when naturally in season.
This way the very best seasonal produce gets to you direct
from field to plate.

7. Fresh bread.
Every day.
From our kitchens.
Straight to your table.

8. We have our very own baker who starts at 4am each morning
to make our range of breads and pastries daily. It may sound like
a crazy hour, but it works. You get wonderful, fresh, homemade
breads, and David avoids rush hour.
All our desserts, ice creams and sorbets are made in-house too,
and we are very proud of our monthly showcase of what
we believe to be the best Irish cheeses.
So what you order is the freshest and
best quality produce to your table.

9. Seasonal Irish fish.
Ethically fished.
Fresh to your table.
From sea to plate.

10. By using seasonal Irish fish, landed by Irish boats, we help
to protect Irish fish stocks whilst supporting Irish fishing.
By using seasonal fish we offer you a wider variety of more
ethically sourced, sustainable seafood and still keep it delicious.
This way we can highlight the flavours and textures of wonderful
seasonal fish complemented by a lightness of touch from our chefs.
Fresh to your table.

13. Great Food.
Great Service.
3 great venues.
Great time.

14. At ely we have always held the view that our staff are our
most important asset.
Through an innovative, multi-tiered European training programme
called Optimus, in conjunction with Fáilte Ireland, all the staff at ely
aspire to be the very best they can be throughout our three ely venues.
We also hold our own in-house food and wine training courses.
So less of the, “Who’s the steak medium rare?”
and more of the, “May I do anything else for you?”

All our desserts, ice creams and sorbets are made in-house,
our cheese is selected on a monthly basis and we proudly
showcase the best in Irish cheeses.
All this goes to ensure the freshest and most exciting desserts
for all those with sweet (or even savoury) tooth.
