Kirwan’s Lane is an award-winning restaurant set in the heart of the medieval centre of Galway.

Offering a seasonal menu of fresh seafood, local produce and delicious Irish Hereford Prime, Kirwan’s Lane is a favourite among locals and visitors alike. Mark Hopkin is the head chef at Kirwan’s Lane restaurant, he believes that consistency and quality are what keeps customers coming back time and time again. “We’re very popular amongst the locals and they expect a certain standard of service and food each time they come through the door.”

Maintaining this high standard is very important to Mark and his team. The menu is updated every four to six weeks and they work hard to always offer the very best dishes at each and every service. “Our standards are very high and its very important to us that they remain that way for many years to come.”
Consistent, reliable quality is one of the main reasons that Mark chooses to serve Irish Hereford Prime at Kirwan’s Lane. When sourcing a cut of meat Mark looks for even marbling of fat, a nice bright red colour and tenderness, he is happy to say Irish Hereford Prime delivers on all of these characteristics. His customers agree with him and Irish Hereford Prime is always one of the most popular dishes on the menu.
“I don’t think in fifteen years I’ve ever received a complaint about a cut of beef, it’s just been consistent the whole way through. That is why I’m so happy to use Irish Hereford Prime.”
One of Kirwan’s Lane’s most popular beef dishes is a twist on the classic steak with mushrooms and onions. It is a ten-ounce Irish Hereford Prime, served with sweet potato puree, blue cheese fondant, roasted Portobello mushroom, crispy onion rings and pepper sauce. “This dish is the perfect marriage between the Irish Hereford Prime steak with classic ingredients of mushrooms and onions, and then the sweet potato and blue cheese brings it to another level. It’s consistent, it’s juicy and it’s the same every time. That’s why our customers keep coming back for it.”
