The Kitchen Restaurant in Ballina, as its name suggests, is located where the original kitchen in the house used to be. Following the tradition of the world-renowned Mount Falcon Fishing & Country Estate, run by the legendary Connie Aldridge, founder of the Blue Book, our diners will be offered a menu featuring the very best in quality, fresh, local organic produce perfect for eating out in Mayo. In 2008 Mount Falcon Hotel in Mayo became a member of Good Food Ireland, which is an organisation where all members are committed to using Irish, local and artisan food produce.
This Mayo Restaurant is located on the ground floor, easily accessed from the main hotel foyer. The total seating area can accommodate 72 diners, with tables nestled around the original nooks and crannies of the original restaurant and pantry.
Philippe Farineau – Head Chef
Having left his native country of France and his beautiful city of Paris, Philippe came to Ireland to work in a number of the country’s finest hotels including the K-Club, Ashford Castle, Dromoland Castle and Hayfield Manor where he held a range of culinary positions, culminating with his appointment as one of the country’s distinguished Head Chef’s. Philippe’s philosophy in relation to his culinary offering is to source the finest produce, prepare it simply and serve it appropriately and is best summed up as “Irish Produce, French Heart”. In conjunction with his Sous Chef, assisted by the Food & Beverage Team, our ‘Kitchen Restaurant’ was accredited with it’s second AA rosette in 2009, a just testament to all their endeavors.
Philippe Farineau " Irish Product, French Heart". Tries to use as much as possible of local organic produce e.g vegetables, fruit and salad. The Moy River which runs through the Estate is a source of Wild Atlantic Salmon,Trout & Eel. Wild game will also feature on the menu in the coming winter months.
