VL RESTAURANT
OUR FOOD STORY
The food at VL Restaurant can be categorised as fine dining in the modern sense. The preferences of our guests are foremost in the selection of dishes. Our meats are sourced away from Lahinch as the local farming pattern is not given to finishing and fattening, which is performed better on lusher pastures in the Midlands of Ireland. Ireland is a small Island so really, all food is Local!
LOCAL PRODUCE
Fish is available locally and mostly caught off the coast at Carrigaholt. Supplies are in high demand always and we try our best to obtain variety. Halibut, Monkfish and Black Sole are regular menu items. Fresh Crab meat is a delight as is the Smoked Salmon produced in the Burren. We choose sustainability over variety and keep the selection to what is native and available on the day.
THE VL BREAKFAST
There is an old Irish expression “Is maith an t-anlann an t-ocras” – Hunger is a good sauce! At Vaughan Lodge, we appreciate the value of a good breakfast and we believe that it is the most important meal of the day. Our breakfasts are full of goodness and cooked to order from a great menu. The staple Full Irish Breakfast, omelettes, fresh fish, smoked fish, healthy options, vegetarian and vegan are all part of our offering. We bake fresh scones and bread daily and we cook your choice to order. Michael is mostly the breakfast chef and prides himself in producing a high standard of food to begin your day.
