The Oak Room at Adare Manor

Editorial Review

The Oak Room at Adare Manor

Adare, County Limerick

The Atmosphere

The grandest dining room in Ireland, inside the country's most complete resort.

The Oak Room is the formal dining room at Adare Manor: carved oak, long windows onto the parkland, and a kitchen with the confidence to cook classically rather than fashionably. It is the most obviously grand meal in Ireland and the one that most justifies bringing a jacket. Because it sits inside the hotel, it works best as part of a stay rather than as a drive-in dinner, and it is the natural formal night on any Limerick or golf week.

Rooms Worth Requesting

What it actually feels like.

Book it with the stay, not after. Jackets for men in the evening. The tasting menu is the version worth the money.

Why we recommend it

A space that justifies the journey.

Very few rooms in Ireland can carry ceremony without becoming stiff. This one does, and the service is the best in the country.
