“Of all the new stars that have risen in Ireland, none shines quite so brightly as Conrad Gallagher”
“The new High King of Irish cuisine”
“Definitely in my top five of all time…the sort of food that explains why a certain chef, in this case Conrad Gallagher, has Michelin Stars!”
“The guinea fowl was perfect, the squab pigeon was tender and subtle and the truffle potato was the best I’d ever tasted…What Conrad does well, few do better”
“Main courses- oh the main courses…the duck- a dish to obsess and fantasize about. The massively ambitious menu is …flawlessly realised”
“Conrad’s fanfare of ingredients will make your head spin. The food was the culinary equivalent of full exhibitionist sex with a first date, who then does your laundry…!”
“Three hours of “Exultate Jubilate” with the pudding the “Hallelujah Chorus” all played with hardly a false note!”
“Mouth watering…fantastic…Give it a try you won’t be able to keep quiet about Conrad Gallagher for long!”
“Irish born chef Conrad Gallagher combines clear flavours with genuinely innovative ideas which…work beautifully”
“Each dish represents a torrent of ideas and a welter of work. Each course is an exhilarating excursion through flavours, an intense reworking of our expectations of what cooking is about. Most chefs gravitate towards a fundamental simplicity in food but, in comparison, Conrad Gallagher is simply on another planet.”
“Conrad Gallagher’s food is very much about assaulting your taste buds from every angle, full of wacky combinations, constant inventiveness and utter confidence. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to eat there. As for me, I think he’s a national treasure.”
“I don’t remember such an impressive meal in a brand new restaurant since the early days of Gordon Ramsey…in New York you wouldn’t get near or buy the place!”
“His food is a theatre, as Grand Gignol, an allegory for intellectual complexity and richness…Thrilling. Outrageous. Unique.”
“No one else cooks like Conrad Gallagher, because no one else can cook like Conrad Gallagher.”
“Conrad Gallagher…the best restaurant opening of the summer!”
“Hats off to Conrad Gallagher!”
“Rich…wonderfully fresh…a delight…the food and service was amazing!”
“He has a dazzling talent not only as cook, but as restaurateur, showman, entertainer and businessman.”
