“The team really love the restaurant we have in the Cultúrlann. The atmosphere is great, and the customers are first class. Everyone is happy to work there, it's an beautiful building with a rich history.”
The restaurant is set to open at night providing delicious food as well as providing a Sunday service in the future where a roast dinner will then be available.
