Ring Village, Clonakilty<br> Chef Caitlin Ruth<br> <br> Caitlin Ruth and owner celebrate 10 years.<br> <br> Even though the address says Ring Village..I drove this part of the coast a dozen times..never really saw a village..a gathering of various houses yes but a village..not so much.<br> Crumbling ancient buildings and stone walls – yup!<br> A strong sense of history on this part of the road..you can see what attracted people even 3-500 years ago.<br> And there, surrounded by the ocean and a small fishing fleet stands Deasy’s.<br> It came highly recommended by the locals.<br> The trick was getting there early enough for one of 6 parking spots just off the highway (its on a nasty little corner) and gets busy very quickly.<br> The reason – the amazing cooking talents of Caitlin Ruth – The Chef.<br> Originally from the USA, she married an Irishman and found her way back to the homeland from Belgium.<br> What a fine fine chef she is..<br> The menu features – as expected – many different fish, in many exceptional dishes. Paired with a very smart wine list.<br> It used to be an old pub..so it still has that comfortable pub feel but the windows give everyone a brilliant look at the ocean just across the highway.<br> Highly recommended destination. Memorable meals. Great hang!! Wicked parking.<br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Deasys-Harbour-Bar-Seafood-Restaurant/126741324027491">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Deasys-Harbour-Bar-Seafood-Restaurant/126741324027491</a><br> <br> Then it’s off to Cork City… South of Dublin on the West Coast of Ireland.<br> It’s the home of Café Paradiso, one of the best vegetarian restaurants anywhere.<br> It’s also the home of Chef Denis Cotter. Except for a pal Sharon Kelly, Denis is the only person I know in all of Ireland.<br> Denis Cotter<br> We had met at Hastings House on Salt Spring Island several years ago. He was cooking recipes from his award winning book For the Love of Food.<br> Denis’ frustration with the limitations of the vegetarian industry sparked the opening of Cafe Paradiso in 1993, to create an environment where he could evolve a personal style of cooking focused on the pleasure of food rather than the perceived negativity of vegetarianism.<br> Among the many awards bestowed on Cafe Paradiso, Denis Cotter was named “Chef of the Year” by the Irish magazine ‘Food & Wine’ in 2005...
