Cava Bodega Galway Menu 2017
Cava Bodega
Situated on Middle Street in Galway city, the award-winning Cava Bodega showcases the very best of Spanish food and wine, in particular the global phenomena of tapas.
JP and Drigín first opened Cava in 2008 in Dominick Street and relocated to Middle Street in 2013. With the relocation came an opportunity to invigorate the restaurant. JP, working with local farmers and artisan producers, created a new focused menu taking the best from local and Iberian influences. Drigin designed a contemporary space with a strong focus on exposed and reclaimed materials to match the colourful and lively atmosphere of Cava. And in September 2013 Cava Bodega was born. Proven to be as popular as ever with the locals, tourists and food critics are also singing its praise. Cava Bodega is a great example of the international trend for good ethical casual food in a shared environment– with tapas, food is passed around the table, communal style, the dishes breed discussion and provide an alternative approach to eating.

Chameleon Restaurant Early Bird and Pre Theatre Menu 2017
Chameleon
Some 25 years ago, long before Temple Bar was a glint in any property developer’s eye, Carol Walsh signed herself a lease in a tall, narrow building on a cobbled street just off the River Liffey, surrounded by artists' studios, record stores and comic shops. She kitted out the first floor with walls of mirrors and opened a dance and aerobics studio. Downstairs, she opened a vegetarian café called The Cellary. Later, in Dublin's clubbing heyday, Carol ran several underground clubnights in this ever-adaptable space. While her neighbouring building was being transformed into what is now Temple Bar Gallery, Carol took the opportunity to go travelling. She found herself in Indonesia, where she fell in love with the heady spice combinations of their culinary approach. In 1994, she opened The Chameleon restaurant in that same tall, narrow building. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Today Kevin takes great pride in the attention to detail required to produce award-winning food, inspired by Indonesian culinary culture and tailored for an Irish diner. Everything – from pastes to desserts – is made from scratch in that narrow little kitchen. Like their namesake – the chameleon, an expert at adapting to his current environment – Kevin and Carol attribute their recent success to their continual focus on adapting to how Irish people want to dine today. Recent additions include a range of craft beers and wines by the glass as well as the tapas-style menu in Spice Bar downstairs, where small dishes from the much-loved Rijst-Tafel menus can be ordered individually by diners looking for a quick bite before a nearby movie, gig or theatre show. Meanwhile, all pastes and marinades are made from scratch in the restaurant and dishes carefully tailored to please Irish palates while showcasing Irish produce. With the restaurant’s 20th anniversary coming next year, this adaptable couple are looking forward to what the future holds for their enduringly popular gem of a restaurant.

Chapter One Chef's Table Tasting Menu 2017
Chapter One
The Irish home has always been a place of conviviality, from the most humble cup of tea to the grandest offering of a traditional Irish coffee. Chapter One has worked hard to reflect this great Irish tradition. We never felt it was enough simply to do things correctly; we wanted to strive for the best, and that remains as true today as at the beginning. It has earned us an extremely loyal customer base and also a Michelin star in the process.
Good cooking starts with good produce, and when you have the richness of the Irish larder to choose from there’s an opportunity to really soar. What you see on a plate in Chapter One is an expression of many artisans, many landscapes and much hardworking talent. Many of our specialist growers and artisan producers have been supplying us since the earliest days in the nineties. Our location on the Northside of Dublin was a notoriously difficult place to trade. Yet people who cared about food came, and suppliers who were passionate about their uniquely Irish produce came too – integrity of produce was what united us.
This gives our menus a unique strength and depth that we feel our customers really value and enjoy.

Chapter One Dinner Menu 2017
Chapter One
Successful restaurants are as much a result of time, place and product as anything else. In many ways we had a lot stacked against us – we’re located in a basement, deep in the Northside of the city. But we had plenty in our favour too. We’ve worked hard to make our basement feel anything but that. By using Irish and international craftspeople we’ve transformed part of what was the former home of George Jameson, the whiskey maker, into a uniquely Irish dining space.
