HOUSE Restaurant, Youghal – Michelin-Star Modern Cuisine on the Ardmore Cliffs

MICHELIN-Star Dining on the Ardmore Coast

Perched on the rugged Ardmore Cliffs in Youghal, HOUSE Restaurant at the Cliff House Hotel offers a dining experience that is as much about the setting as it is about the plate. Since earning its first Michelin star in 2010, the restaurant has held the accolade consistently, a testament to its commitment to refined modern cuisine and meticulous service.

The restaurant’s ethos is rooted in using local produce with global flavours, creating a unique character that sets it apart. Sustainability is a guiding pillar, with the team taking pride in celebrating local suppliers, producers, and artisans from the surrounding Waterford region. This dedication to provenance is woven into every dish.

The atmosphere is designed to complement the coastal location. With terracotta and seafoam green tones, the interior evokes the Irish seascape, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of the Atlantic and Ardmore Bay. In summer, the space is awash with natural light; in winter, a granite fireplace creates a warm, inviting ambience as the wild Atlantic provides the backdrop.

Guests can choose from a seasonal table d’hôte menu, which showcases the finest local ingredients, or a seven-course tasting menu that presents a medley of seasonal flavours. For a more relaxed moment, the HOUSE Lounge offers an oceanfront recess for well-deserved respite. Whether for a special occasion or a celebration of quality, HOUSE delivers a refined taste of Ireland’s south coast.
