Two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Celbridge led by chef Jordan Bailey. Serving Nordic-influenced tasting menus using Irish ingredients, this destination restaurant offers an exceptional culinary journey worth traveling for.
Aimsir holds two Michelin stars and occupies the Cliff at Lyons estate in Celbridge, Co. Kildare, where chef Jordan Bailey serves a Nordic-influenced tasting menu built around Irish ingredients, a destination restaurant that draws diners well outside Dublin. The seasonal tasting menu is the only format offered, with an optional wine pairing designed course by course to match the kitchen's precise, foraged-forward style. The dining room is refined and minimalist, with an emphasis on calm, unhurried service that reflects the multi-hour tasting experience. Given its two-star status and limited covers, reservations are required and should be made months ahead, particularly for weekend dates. The estate setting adds to the sense of occasion, making it a common choice for special anniversaries and celebrations.
