February 2018 Sees The First in a New Year of Chef Swaps at Aniar Restaurant, Galway, Ireland

The Chef Swap at Aniar programme continues into and throughout 2018 and will see more acclaimed international and Irish guest chefs collaborating with JP McMahon in Michelin starred Aniar in Galway , Ireland, on different weekend dates throughout 2018.
Confirmed so far are Danni Barry , formerly of Michelin star Deanes Eipic, Belfast, and now leading the kitchen at Clenaghans Restaurant, Craigavon , on the 9th and 10th February ; Amanda Cohen of cutting-edge New York City vegetable restaurant Dirt Candy on the 6th and 7th April ; Christophe Dufau of Michelin star Les Bacchanales restaurant, Vence , France on the 15th and 16th June; and rising Russian star Stanislav Pesotskiy of Björn , a new Nordic restaurant in oscow , on the 16th and 17th November . Gunnar Karl Gíslason from Michelin star, new Nordic Restaurant Dill in Reykjavík, Iceland is also due to join JP in the Aniar kitchen in 2018 at a date to be confirmed.
JP McMahon said, "Chef Swap is a wonderful way of visiting chefs to learn more about the produce we have here in Ireland. As part of the experience, I travel with each chef to visit local producers and experience how the produce is harvested. On the other hand, for the team in Aniar and our guests, it gives us an insight into each chef’s unique way of cooking and every time is a surprise. Many chefs bring signature dishes to their menu while challenging themselves to use Irish ingredients. Feedback, both from our guests who book dinner and from the visiting chefs, has been overwhelmingly positive so it’s exciting to extend the programme into 2018.”
Each of the Chef Swap at Aniar dinner menus follows the same menu format as the regular Aniar tasting menus - 6 courses at 65 euro, 8 courses at 85 euro, or 10 courses at 110 euro.
