Ballymaloe maintains a long-standing tradition of excellent food, continuing the legacy of Myrtle Allen. The restaurant famously emphasizes local and seasonal ingredients, often sourced from their own gardens or local farmers. This approach signifies a true commitment to quality and authenticity that many restaurants aspire to emulate. The experience begins pleasantly with tea and cake in the drawing room, reinforcing the welcoming atmosphere of this iconic establishment.
Ballymaloe is the most sacred cow of the Irish food world; so much has been written about the legacy of the late Myrtle Allen and the huge part she played in the evolution of a modern Irish food culture. Her influence is baked into the DNA of restaurants with a genuine commitment to using the very best of local and seasonal ingredients.
Some, like Ballymaloe, even growing themselves or forming close relationships with local farmers, rather than those paying cynical lip service to the notion.
