Donegal’s only five-star hotel Lough Eske Castle has just launched their new “Midweek Gourmet Getaway” to tempt you to the North West this summer and as I'm concerned they're succeeding.
The Midweek Gourmet Getaway package is designed with foodies in mind who wish to come to Donegal, kick back and enjoy world-class cuisine in a beautiful setting.
Lough Eske's package starts off with a tempting “Floral Afternoon Tea” for two in one of the castles regal drawing rooms, where you can sample some of their sweet delights along with a cosy cuppa.
Then guests can dive into the newly launched summer menu at Lough Eske Castle. New additions to the menu include dishes such as Donegal crab with apple, avocado and green goddess dressing begin and roast Irish rump of lamb, sweet bread, artichoke, pea, hazelnut and mint.
Speaking about the new menu head chef Richard McKee says;
“Guests will see the changes in the menu with a different style of cooking and lighter options influenced by international styles from the Nordic and Asian regions in time for the summer season.”It's funny that McKee mentions the Nordic influences because browsing the menu reminded me a lot of the food I ate in Finland.
