The Lough Inn - Le Petit Vatel
Review
Having previously featured the Lough Inn in this Irish Top 100 Attractions book, I was thrilled to see how Chef Thomas Fleury has transformed its dining offering with Le Petit Vatel. Ireland certainly isn't short of excellent country pubs, but finding French cooking of this standard in the heart of County Mayo is something quite extraordinary. What particularly impressed me was their commitment to sourcing ingredients locally, with their own farm, kitchen garden and polytunnels supplying wonderfully fresh produce. The menu brings together the very best of Irish ingredients and French cooking techniques, resulting in dishes bursting with flavour and imagination. Add friendly service, an inviting atmosphere and absolutely no unnecessary fuss, and you have a dining experience I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.
