Last night the Carlton Hotel Dublin Airport celebrated turning twenty years old this year and I was fortunate to be at the events at the Runway 28 Rooftop Restaurant and bar. Guests were wined and dined followed by entertainment by the marvellous Swing Cats and singers Luke Thomas and Una Healy.
This independently Irish owned four-star hotel has had an upgrade with gorgeous styling in rich bottle greens and new paintings dotted around the hotel. Also noted was the introduction of a new Irish mythology themed cocktail menu and a new dining menu in Runway 28 Rooftop Bar and Restaurant, along with launching a Platinum Chapter Stay.
The new dining menu at Runway 28 Rooftop Bar and Restaurant includes flavourful dishes using the finest locally sourced ingredients in a relaxed, stylish space. The menu offers West Cork black pudding with Pink Lady apple and Irish apple cream, a Fisherman’s Soup with fresh fish from Wrights of Howth, in a tomato and smoked pepper broth, and St. Tola Goats Cheese mousse served with sliced beetroot and walnuts to start. Main courses include aged beef steaks from McLoughlin’s Craft Butchers, woodfire pizzas with Dingle whiskey infused salami and St. Tola’s cheese, slow cooked Wicklow lamb shoulder, and potato gnocchi with spring vegetables and the renowned Irish hard sheep’s milk cheese, Cais na Tire.Head chef, Cian O’Leary, has created the new menu to celebrate Irish ingredients and the trusted local suppliers behind them, reflecting a strong sense of place and a true nod to Irish produce.
