The Butternut Squash Risotto, a staple main that is hard to do well has been perfected by Gourmet Food Parlour using coconut milk, fresh chilli, toasted pumpkin seeds and crisp sage leaves.
Desserts on offer include the Chocolate Dome; a feast for the eyes and tastebuds, this chocolate dome has the texture of fresh raspberries and is accompanied by prosecco and raspberry sorbet. A fresh yet decadent dish for chocolate lovers. For those who prefer a fruity kick to their third course, a Mango & Passionfruit Cheesecake is available;this zingy yet creamy dessert is topped with passionfruit flakes and accompanied by rich Chantilly cream. Light, refreshing and satisfying.
There is an Early-bird option available from €28 for two course or €32 for three. Additionally for parents wanting to grab a mid-week meal, children under ten years old eat for free after 5pm on Wednesday and Thursday evenings – T&C’s apply.

For beer lovers there is Peroni on draught and Guinness micro-draught available and for cocktails, customers can enjoy classics such as Espresso Martinis, Whiskey Sours, Pornstar Martinis and much more.
The mixology experts at Gourmet Food Parlour have partnered with Tribe Gin and All About Kombucha to create a signature summer serve, the West End Spiked Tea (The W.E.S.T), which is an excellent Irish alternative to the much beloved Aperol Spritz.

A day by the seaside has never been more appealing.
As if there isn’t enough exciting happenings at Gourmet Food Parlour, fans of the now legendary bottomless Drunch events can mark Saturday, July 22nd in their calendars for the next must-attend event.

Glitter, cowboy boots and flower crowns are a must.

“We have so much happening at Gourmet Food Parlour this summer. From new menus to new outdoor spaces, cocktails, promotions, events and more, it’s an incredibly exciting time for customers to pay us a visit. In recent months we, as a business, have been striving towards continued innovation, bringing the best quality, locally sourced products into our restaurants to create unique gourmet experiences. I was fortunate enough to recently be announced as a finalist for the EY Entrepreneur of the Year, and not only has it given me a motivational boost but the entire team at Gourmet Food Parlour are also feeling the positivity towards our business from our wonderful customers. The incredible feedback we receive as an independent Irish business is why we work so hard to innovate for our beloved customers. I’m so excited to see what the coming months bring for the business, and to see our customers enjoying themselves while they go gourmet this summer.”
