Lignum named restaurant of the year

Lignum were announced Best Restaurant in Connacht at the All Ireland Final of Irish Restaurant Awards 2022 took place in the Convention Centre Dublin (CCD) on Monday, 19 September 2022.

Furthermore, to top an already exciting year for Head Chef and Owner Danny Africano, the Georgina Campbell Irish Food & Hospitality Awards 2022 have announced Lignum as the ‘Restaurant of the Year’.

The end-of-year celebration of Irish food and hospitality recognises ‘Ireland’s hospitality leaders, best hotels, fine dining and seafood to casual dining favourites and the most pet-friendly destination, winners of Georgina Campbell Irish Food & Hospitality Awards 2022.’

‘Very much a place with its star in the ascendancy, food lovers have blazed a trail to this unusual restaurant since the day it opened, in autumn 2019. Formerly Slatefort House restaurant, run by chef Danny Africano’s Irish-Italian parents, and also the family home, the house and grounds were reborn as Lignum, which Danny runs with his partner Molly Keane and a talented, highly motivated team. Lignum is the Latin term for wood, which is central to the sophisticated yet rustic makeover and the unique character of the food, which is cooked over local ash, birch and oak. The result is creative, beautiful and seriously delicious fine dining – and the quality of the ingredients so meticulously sourced in Ireland and Italy is exceptional, as is the care lavished on every aspect of this restaurant and its customers. And it’s a work in progress, with new experiences constantly enriching the creative development in the kitchen, the restaurant service and the business as a whole – which includes reviving plans for accommodation, delayed by the pandemic. Although still new, it is already widely recognised and there is a sense of Lignum taking its place among the great restaurants of Ireland.‘ Source: Ireland-guide.com
