Galway’s inventive Bakery & Wine Bar Éan - a recent addition to the city’s dining scene and sister restaurant to Michelin-starred Loam - which opted to temporarily close its doors in December because of the pandemic has reopened for takeaway (Thursday to Sunday, 10am - 4pm ).
To coincide with its return to action Éan is also launching new @Home meal kits which are available at weekends.
The new Éan @Home menus, which will change every two weeks, will be released in limited numbers on Mondays at 12noon via the restaurant’s website - www.eangalway.com - with lastorders needing to be confirmed by Wednesday (unless otherwise sold out ).
Collection of the easy to construct meal kits, which serve two people generously, is available from Éan on Druid Lane (adjacent to the city’s Druid Lane Theatre Company ) on Fridays or Saturdays between 4pm and 6pm, with collection time slots available at the point of ordering. The cost of the dinner kits is €75, or €90 with wine.
Specialist dietary requirements unfortunately cannot be catered for, although there is a vegetarian option.
The first week’s menu is set to include sumptuous dishes such as Éan sourdough and wild garlic butter, a choice of Jersey Curds, organic salad, blood orange, or duck liver parfait, smoked almonds, forced rhubarb, a beetroot/artichoke wellington, roasted yeast sauce, or confit duck leg, miso duck sauce with sides of leaf and root farm greens and pink fir apple potatoes with seaweed butter.
Sweet treats will consist of quince, white chocolate and salted honey cake, and a chocolate-chip cookie dough, with smoked salt.
Dishes will showcase quality in season ingredients from some of the country’s best producers: Leaf & Root farm in Co Galway, Ballymakenny Farm in Co Louth, Thornhill Duck in Co Cavan, The Village Dairy in Co Meath, and Ryan's Rhubarb in Co Dublin, with the wild garlic and seaweed foraged by the Éan team themselves.
