The Lemon Tree Restaurant

"As the Michelin Guide UK tweeted last June the Lemon Tree is 'a real family affair' It has been ran by the Molloy family for many years with several family members involved in the business. The Lemon Tree recently moved to a bigger location and Mr. FFID and I visited for dinner as I wanted to try the food of my friend, chef Chris Molloy. The restaurant is spacious and modern and it was buzzing on a weekday with a mix of clientele including couples in their early twenties on a romantic date to families probably celebrating a special occasion. Chris is a supporter of local producers and uses Donegal produce superbly: from Kinnegar beer brown bread to beautiful turf-smoked salmon from Haven Smokehouse, vegetables from Ballyholey farm to Noone's Donegal reared chicken; he even has a wall filled with pictures of his suppliers in the restaurant. It's certainly a great spot for modern Irish cuisine using the best of Donegal produce, make sure to visit if you're in the area!"
