The Tannery Restaurant, located in Dungarvan, Co Waterford in the south east of Ireland has long been regarded as one of Ireland’s leading restaurants. The Tannery was opened in 1997 by leading chef Paul Flynn and his wife Máire and was followed in 2005 by the opening of the boutique style Tannery Townhouse. Recently they converted an area of urban wasteland adjacent to the Cookery School where they grow a lot of their won produce. A night in the Townhouse along with dinner is highly recommended.
