Restaurants look to spring

The Good Food Gallery, recently opened in downtown Kilcullen, took the opportunity of Pancake Tuesday to launch a new outside catering menu.

The operation is operated by Paul and Suzanne Carey and following the widely acclaimed arrival of their specialty food shop and cafe to the Kilcullen scene, they are now in a position to cater for family celebrations at home or other special events. In addition to organising and serving the food, the Gallery has a wide range of specially selected wine for any party.

Paul is a qualified chef with a lot of outside catering experience. The new catering menu includes freshly made main courses, salads, desserts and buffet dishes ideal for home entertaining and events. For information, call 045 484551 or e-mail paul@goodfoodgallery.ie

Meanwhile, the Riverside Restaurant on The Square has been relaunched under the management of the Dunlea family.

A new menu will be available in March based on fresh ingredients from local suppliers, and Peter Dunlea says the aim is to provide customers with excellent food and wine at modest prices.

Head chef is Ronnie Wolf, who specialises giving a modern twist to classic favourite dishes. One of these is roast pork which has been spit-cooked in the open air over a wood fire.

The Riverside Restaurant is open seven days a week from 5-10pm Monday to Friday and 10am-10pm on Saturday and Sunday. Further information 045 4829666 or info@theriverside.ie
