has only a limited number of tables, which allows Damien and his team to explain the dishes and interact with guests, the idea being to make for a more personal and memoral experience.
The restaurant received its first star in the Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland 2022.
During lockdown, Damien took time to reflect on the restaurant, and when it reopened, the chef made the decision to steer it in a new direction.
The restaurant has been revamped with a more contemporary look that separates the cosy interior of the restaurant from the rustic market outside.
The changes made to the restaurant were clearly successful, as in 2022, the restaurant received its second star in the Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland 2022.
The food
Liath's dishes are bold and original, and the food offering has been continually reworked and perfected over the years. The dishes are centred around five tastes: salty, savoury sweet, bitter, and sour.
The food is what the restaurant calls an expression of new Irish cuisine, showcasing the country's most special ingredients from both land and sea.
Sustainability
Since November 2021, Liath has been closing one weekend a month to allow the team a chance to relax and spend time with family and loved ones. This is done in order to help fix some of the work-life balance issues affecting vast swathes of the industry.
