Dining
A Fresh Approach to Cuisine
Every meal is a true delight at Lough Eske Castle, a Solis Hotel. Though different in atmosphere and ambiance, Cedars Grill Restaurant and the Gallery and Oak Bars celebrate the Irish love of food, drink, and good cheer.
Cedars Grill Restaurant combines easy going elegance with a very modern sense of style. The dining room itself is quite stunning with its floor to ceiling, button back upholstery and modern crystal light fixtures. Glass doors open onto a slate terrace - a delightful place to linger and admire the manicured lawns and woodland views that surround Lough Eske Castle.
The Gallery Bar and Lobby Lounge offer more casual dining options where guests can enjoy food served from noon till late, Afternoon Tea or the Castle's prized Chocolate Buffet on a Sunday in summer while enjoying the dulcet tones of Jazz from our resident band.
With a hushed ambiance and rich leather furnishings, the Oak Bar feels like an exclusive club – ideal for private gatherings and special occasions.

Philipp Ferber - Executive Chef
The management of Lough Eske Castle, a Solis Hotel & Spa are delighted to introduce Michelin star trained Philipp Ferber as its Executive Chef.
Philipp, whose apprenticeship was spent working in a number of Michelin star restaurants across Germany, is raising the bar further on the already sumptuous cuisine at Donegal’s only five-star hotel with a new menu comprising spectacular dishes that celebrate the stunning local produce of this area.
Philipp's life-long love of food stems from his boyhood watching his grandfather cheffing in his restaurant in the Blackforest Mountains. He trained in a number of Michelin Star restaurants in Germany and the Middle East, including the famous Restaurant Margaux in Berlin, The Briedenbacher Höf Hotel and the gourmet restaurant Soel’ring Hof where he worked with award winning chef Johannes King.
During the past eight years, Philipp has used his Michelin star training and love for local fresh ingredients to create dishes for the great and the good, among them George Clooney, Tom Jones, Latoya Jackson and rock back AC/DC. He has also had the pleasure of having none other than global star P!nk join him in his kitchen to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner for her 80-strong tour team.
Philipp firmly believes that watching his grandfather turn simple local ingredients into delicious meals fit for any table, gave him his love of working with local produce and this is very much reflected in his new menu at the multi-award winning hotel. Examples include Inver Bay brown crab cakes, fennel and apple slaw and grilled Gin Valley Chicken Breast. Diners are spoiled for choice; for example, for their steaks they are able to choose not just the cut but also the breed – locally produced Hereford or Angus. Diners also get to savour new interpretations of classic Irish cuisine, ranging from Philipp’s Frozen Tyrconnell Irish Coffee dessert - an espresso and whiskey parfait, warm white chocolate foam and caramel crisp.
