Restaurant Concept
Rustic Stone Restaurant adds creativity and flavour to the finest ingredients in the most nutritious way possible. In today’s ever changing restaurant environment, there is a demand for greater choice and the need to cater for individual tastes and nutritional requirements. At Rustic Stone we feel we have something for everyone. Our restaurant is a fun, inviting and relaxed place to eat where everyone’s needs, diets and indulgences are provided for.
Restaurant Nutrition
At Rustic Stone we create food that is as tasty as it is nutritious. Our aim is to allow people to choose what they eat in accordance to what they look for in a meal, without sacrificing flavour.
We cook seasonally with olive oil, and nowhere will you find butter or cream in any of our dishes. We use lots of fresh herbs and salads grown by farmers we know and trust. We use organic produce where possible, always insisting on freshness. We focus on the positive virtues of different ingredients and draw out the flavour as well as the goodness from within.
Restaurant Suppliers
Our suppliers are an integral part of what we ultimately create on the plate. Their high standards and pursuit of excellence are crucial components in helping us to achieve consistency. Staying true to our philosophy of supporting home-grown produce and showcasing Irish ingredients is at the heart of what we do.
Rustic Stone Cooking
Rustic Stone adopts an old Spanish technique which is still quite new in Ireland. Customers are served their meat or fish dishes on a hot volcanic stone which they cook themselves. This method adds an element of theatre to the meal yet at the same time adds to customer preference allowing them to have their dish cooked exactly how they like it. Also on the menu is a list of salads and dressings carefully chosen by Dylan which is left to the customers to add and mix themselves. Along with these salads is a choice of new and unique side orders which are packed full of flavour. Dylan is particularly excited with his new range of sugar free cocktails and desserts which he has created specifically for Rustic Stone. Group Booking
