Coeliac
O'Connells in Donnybrook - looks forward to welcoming back our Coeliac Customers ...
Dublin’s Leading Coeliac Friendly Restaurant, O’Connells for over eleven years now, O’Connells aspires to be Dublin’s leading Coeliac Friendly Restaurant. We bake our own gluten-free bread and most menu items are gluten-free. Coeliac Diners are just advised to ‘Ask for the Manager to take your order’. Coeliacs will be particularly pleased to know that O’CONNELLS’ Christmas menus also offer Gluten-free Stuffing and Gluten-Free Bread Sauce.
O’Connells originally retained author and Gluten-free Cookery Expert, Rosemary Kearney to advise the its Chefs on catering for Coeliacs. Ms Kearney is co-author, with Darina Allen, of Healthy Gluten Free Eating published by Kyle Cathie 2004, in association with The Coeliac Society of Ireland. Ms Kearney has another book in print at present.
Once O’Connells re-opens we will give the same commitment to Coeliac Friendly Cooking. All food preparation is in kitchens where gluten is also used. Whilst every care is taken we cannot guarantee that cross-contamination might not occur.
A new development in O'Connells in Donnybrook will be that all our Coeliac Friendly Menu and Bakery items will eventually be available to Take Home. There will also be a Pre-order Service.
August 28th., 2010 - We were delighted to read the following advice from a contributor to The Irish Coeliac Society's Blog ...
If you're planning your travel itinerary the GF Fish & Chips in Mespil Row, Dublin 2 only take place on Saturday and Sundays. They are really lovely!
If O'Connell's restaurant is open in its' new premises by then in Donnybrook, Dublin, they are excellent: http://www.oconnellsdonnybrook.com/ . Roly's Bistro in Ballsbridge is also supposed to be good for GF food: www.rolysbistro.ie and is beside the American Embassy too!
I've heard the Bay Tree Restaurant in Kildare are good for GF, haven't yet been: http://www.thebaytree.ie/
