Award winning restaurant in Gougane Barra, a place to indulge

Gougane Barra Hotel

Óstan Gúgan Barra

A place to indulge...

Awarded an AA rosette for culinary excellence in 2006 and in 2007.

The hotel restaurant overlooks the lake and St Finbarrs Oratory on the island, and it is here that breakfast and evening dinner is served.

During the day, food is served in the Hotel’s Tailor and Ansty Bar and sitting rooms, every day except Sunday, when traditional Sunday lunch is served, in the restaurant. The bar menu has lots to tempt you with, maybe you would like a fruit scone with jam and cream, homemade soup or chowder, Dingle Bay Smoked Salmon and prawns with honey dressing, or a warm chicken salad with roast pine nuts, the choice is interesting and varied. Home-baking is a big part of this family-run establishment and doesn't disappoint, all breads and desserts are freshly baked in the hotel kitchen.

In the evening, dinner is served from 5.30pm. There is a variety of menus to suit different requirements, early bird, a la carte, and table d'hote. The menu is well balanced, seasonally planned, based on locally sourced fresh ingredients, and prepared with great attention to detail. Katy has brought a lot of recipes from her father’s kitchen in Lahinch, where her parents, Eamonn and Rita Vaughan ran Mr. Eamonn’s famous restaurant for many years.

All of this great food is complimented by a well chosen wine list with lots of different old and new world choices, advice is also available.
