Wonderful food and drinks here. Great views from the upstairs lounge. Beautiful menu and a very knowledgeable member of staff on hand to assist with choice of drinks. All was delicious 😋 and we enjoyed a wonderful night at Cove. Thank you. We’ll definitely be back when we are next in Dunfanaghy.

Allasdar O’Riada

Made in Cork, matured in Donegal, Allasdar O’Riada has worked in the local food industry for nearly two decades.  Fostered by talented local chefs, he has built and expanded on a love for cooking that began at home.

Ballymaloe Cookery course was the book that sparked in him a culinary curiosity.  This keen interest in food and insatiable appetite for knowledge has since led him to explore many cuisines and techniques, most recently delving into the world of fermentation and slow foods. Travels to Spain and Italy have informed his palate and their attitudes towards food have left an indelible mark.

A respect for honest relationship between kitchen and customer and a belief in and high regard for his fellow staff are central tenets of his approach.

Allasdar is taking over the mantle in the Cove kitchen and with his care, attention to detail and dedication to his culinary talent, we look forward to enjoying a new and exciting restaurant experience in 2023
