Food Critic Reviews
“The opening of the year that should have been talked about a great deal more was 1826 Restaurant in Adare, Co Limerick, where Wade Murphy’s cooking demonstrates wonderful imagination and refinement, and where tradition and modern twists (a phrase I generally dread) work in perfect harmony.”

“Good food in pretty Adare. Husband and Wife team bring personal touch to a small, special place ”

1826 Adare is a small, special place where the good stuff from its hinterland is being used by a talented kitchen.
Catherine Cleary, The Irish Times
1826 Adare is a chic little spot doing upmarket contemporary casual food. Well worth a visit.
Lucinda O’Sullivan, Sunday Independent
While you can take fine dining out of the equation, what you get from a classically trained chef of this calibre is the same top notch cooking in a more relaxed style – and at a very accessible price.

1826 is one of the defining examples of the modern creative casual Irish restaurant. The cooking is serious and ambitious but the food is delivered without a jot of pretension and served in the most charming, relaxed style.

The Murphys have opened with considerable aplomb, enhancing Adare. If this very good meal was indicative they will continue in that vein.
