Fresh, local produce:

We strive to source all our food produce as locally as possible; meats from the green grasslands of Ireland and fish from the waters of the Atlantic. All food is prepared in our kitchen by our team of Chefs.

We bake bread freshly every day, make our own sauces, garnishes and ice creams. This ensures that our guests area always guaranteed a unique food experience at Viña Mara.
