Co. Donegal's Foyle Hotel has been named the "Just Ask Restaurant of the Month" for July.
Selected by food writer Georgina Campbell and Bord Bia, the "Just Ask Restaurant of the Month" title recognises Irish eateries that exhibit best practices in showing transparency in the sourcing of the food on their menus.
Foyle Hotel chef Brian McDermott stated, "Here, food is at the centre of everything we do. Irish meats and poultry come from trusted suppliers, including William Doherty Butcher and Noone's Poultry of Clonmany. Doherty Roe Vegetables and Whiteoaks Acorn Organic Farm near Muff supply us with our fresh produce, while free range eggs are supplied by Seamus McHugh. All our seafood is locally landed, the majority of which is supplied by John Byrne Seafoods and Greencastle Fisherman's Co-op."
"Another Seriously Good Reason To Head For Donegal"
Meanwhile, Campbell commented, "This sense of place is also the driving philosophy of the cookery weekends that are hosted by Brian, and all this, plus a keen focus on customer service, make a visit to The Foyle Hotel by Chef Brian McDermott yet another seriously good reason to head for Donegal."
